While this drama focuses on a love story between the main characters Soon Jin and Moo Han the “love stories” go far beyond this couple. The story between Soon Jin and her best friend Mi Ra who is fiercely protective, fiercely loyal and fiercely committed to loving her friend through every heartbreak is incredibly powerful. You find the same deep compassion between Moo Han and his best friend who also happens to be Mi Ra’s husband. There are several “parent/child love stories” that eloquently portray parenting ‘s pains and joys.

The secondary story of Mi Ra going through menopause brings out the best in her marriage. While lashing out at her husband he remains loyal, kind, loving and committed to seeing her through to the other side.
Mi Ra has such depth an entire drama with her as the lead could easily be done.

This drama is about not giving up even when things look bleak and the fact that the characters are “mature” deepens the story and shows what mature love in all forms looks like. Well written, great acting (Kim Sun A and Ye Ji Won your best work to date) great directing— I can’t find one thing wrong with this drama.
