...but the actress who plays Catherine is so unwatchable. She has one mode only, and plays it throughout any situation that arises. Monotone, never changes pace (SLOW), and painfully emotionless. It's as though she's just reciting lines to herself and not engaging with the scene around her at all. I wish she was played by someone else, because she really makes the show difficult to watch. The episode will be flowing smoothly and engaging my attention and then she comes on screen and everything screeches to a halt - catapulting us back into the reality that these are just actors playing a roll on a set. She should be delivering the news or telling us about the week ahead forecast.

He truly shines in this series. What a talent. Nobody else could have played his part so perfectly. These storylines are all so touching, and you find yourself in so many of the characters at different moments. I got swept up in it all. This was the first K-Drama series I've watched, and it's convinced me to check out other series after this. There were so many twists and turns... so much growth... and many unexpected moments of humor and realism. I didn't want this series to end! I just wanted to follow these characters and their families forever because of how lovely they all are. It really gets you invested and makes you believe it's all real. There's a lot of details and storylines - so, if you're looking to be entertained endlessly and touched emotionally, this is perfect for you. Settle in and enjoy!

Not all characters or situations are meant to be liked or easily digested. If you're familiar with the director, you know what to expect. He won't spoon feed you simple scenarios or relatable actions. Those looking for a knee-slapper or fast-paced thriller won't find what they're looking for here. Those looking for a twisted, uneasy look at strange characters in a complex situation will feel at home. The pacing is slower and actually feels like realistic, real-time moments. Let yourself be uncomfortable and soak in the unexpected. It's a unique show in that it is what it is and won't try to be something else. It's purposefully that show that made you squirm.
