But so moorish, unlike, "Our Blues", there is very little social commentary. Initially I thought it was going to be a soap version of the movie, "Parasite", but it deviated substantially from that plot. There was only one actor I had seen before, everyone else was new to me. But a stand out actor was Park Ha-na, who played a baddie, hoping she doesn't get type cast, but can't find another series with her in it on Netflix. Orphan/abandoned babies at a young age are common themes with K-Dramas. One aspect which always, in my opinion that detracts from K-Dramas, is the over acting of the senior cast members, thankfully there were only one or two in this series cast. Also, something I noticed, some of the interior sets are very similar to, "My Golden Life". The front living/dining/kitchen of the mansions and the living/dining/kitchen of the lower economic home. Another negative of K-Dramas, is why do female cast always have to have white facial make up applied? But if you love pure soap, give this series a go, be warned, it's 52 episodes.
This was good, not your everyday drama & could have been some better , but certainly wasn't the worst!
Goff performances by children, especially younger boy was adorable.

I thoroughly enjoyed this cute kdrama up until episode 24. In it, there is a scene where the male lead character's sister is sitting with her friends and laughing about experiences they had while they were in NY. One of these experiences was that of two black men trying to sell them a mixtape for $100. The story ends with them saying how scared they were and the group having a good laugh.
This is extremely problematic. I would expect the writers and producers of this show to be savvy enough to know that they have viewers from all over the world and from all walks of life. This scene is not only racist, but it perpetuates stereotypes that black people to this day are still trying to overcome. How ridiculous it is that in 2021, they thought nothing of putting this type of racist rhetoric in a popular drama. It is the same as depictions of Asian stereotypes on-screen. There is no difference. I am beyond disappointed.

South Korea must be like some bizarre parallel universe. A major crisis ensues because Dan Dan is 27 and her potential beau is 41. It wouldn't rate a mention in Western culture but not so in this show! And the extent to which parents meddle in their children's love life beggars belief. Full marks to the script writers for the most astonishing and ridiculously delicious plot twists I have ever seen. It's like corn chips. So bad for you but you want more. And don't forget the cheesy music which sounds like a bad entry in The Voice, or something vaguely like Beethoven or Holst. And people in this show dress really well. It reminds my of when I went to Seoul and noticed just how much attention people paid to their loom.
Be ready to throw things in desparate loathing at those characters you love to hate! (I suggest socks so as not to harm your screen). Looking for a serious down to earth drama? Go elsewhere. This ludicrous piece is totally for fun.
Please don't dis the actors for doing the phenomenal job of portraying well the malicious and conniving and just aweful humans in this soapiest of soaps. We all hate those characters for good reason and one of them is the actors are doing great at their craft!
The writer will leave no trope unturned, this is ridiculously funny. Just when you think to yourself at any place in the story,"Finally, finally, this is getting back on track and going the way I want it to"... well, forget it! Got a character you think is kind of okay? Hah, don't even try to make a connection. The writer pulls the rug out from under you every single time you wish to have even a little bit of satisfaction!
A rollicking great satire! Move away quickly if you can not take human beings being exposed in all their wretched flaws!
