Problematic writing

This is the worst mother-daughter relationship ever written. The writer is completely clueless on how to write relationships. The same goes for the father-daughter and other relationship dynamics in the drama. In fact, writing in general was awful. The story itself was too thin with little to no content. No one met the father in person until episode 11 which they had to because they needed to stretch it. It deserves even a lower rating. The writer couldn't even write a generic ending. It was meant to be focused on the mother daughter dynamic but the mother decided to die alone with her doctor friend. Not with her daughter or the ex-husband or the boyfriend. They never told the daughter about her illness until she found out suddenly that her mother died. All what the daughter got was a generic email 1 year later after her mother's death. Shitty ending with no climax, you would expect at the very least some good one final good bye dialogue between the mother and her daughter.

Love plot-lines sucked big time but it was an okay sports drama

The cast members were so damn young almost unrecognizable. A 30 years difference brings a lot of change for sure. It's a decent drama with a banger OST but love plot-lines were weak. The drama made me realize why don't we get more sports dramas? The last "actual" sports drama from the participants/players perspective was Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo from 2016! I would love to get something like Slam Dunk in a Kdrama format. It's a shame that Shim Eun Ha quit acting!

An okay watch but nothing stands out

Big fat never-ending intense love triangle from start to finish. The family relationships portion of the story was fine but the romance/triangle portion sucked. Uhm Tae Woong isn't a good fit for romantic roles, something about it is just missing. Although the ending was okay but it could've been better.

This is what happens when the writer force tragedy for the sake of tragedy. Once forced, everything lose its weight and become meaningless. The drama is just flashy and tacky, that's it. It is watchable if you're looking for some goofy action.

Passable...

The writer wrote himself in inescapable corner which explains the sudden erratic change in writing/story/characters from the beginning of episode 68. There was no solution other than a hard re-write. The synopsis is mostly wrong after the first paragraph.

Nutty....

You aren't allowed to question anything in this drama otherwise it'll be unwatchable. Nothing makes sense and nothing will, you've to accept that. They take everything way too far and over dramatize the living shit out of it. Those soliloquy scenes in the black room were an awful addition to the drama. Cringe direction.

This would have been great as a 16-20 episodes drama and more polish. The formula/concept didn't work for a 120(60) episodes drama. The first 15-20 episodes were really boring slice of life bits scattered, it does get a little bit better once they become "parenting daddy". The drama also lacked proper tension to keep the viewers engaged. Some very distracting poor performance by Oh Jung Yeon, her facial muscles were completely dead. This drama was her only main acting role for a reason. She also works as an announcer and TV presenter, I can see that working for how stiff she looks. There was an attempt but I expected a lot more from the drama, just like your kids.

huh....

Very typical makjang. It follows the exact formula without attempting anything new. They over done it for how much the baddies can get away with, there should be some balance. The cast didn't help either to keep the drama afloat. Some of the camera angles were too weird, the actors were looking point blank centered directly to the camera.

The story is way too thin for a 124 episode drama. Which is why it had 30 episodes epilogue!! There were loads of other problems from writing, characters, pacing and production.

This is without any doubt the dullest revenge plot I've ever seen. The first 40 episodes were unbelievably bad, it got a little tiny bit better after that. It was a bad move changing one of the actresses. Jung Won changing her hairstyle was a bad move too. Another bad move is the ending.

The drama desperately needed more side stories to not make the drama feel draggy too much since there is barely anything happening outside the main story. The content for the main story wasn't sufficient to fill the episodes. It took only 19 episodes to shove the cast into an office. The drama also had a deadly overdose of cheese and cringe. Despite liking the actress, the female lead can't stop smiling no matter what and it just got too much quickly. Any emotional scene came off as superficial and cheap, probably a combination of both writing and performance. The same goes for the relationships in general. Also, the drama had one of the worst birth secrets plots I've seen so far. It felt like they were absolutely obligated to include it as if it's written in the contract.

OOF.......

The narration had me dead on the floor. It reminded why I hate these old people style narration in media. This is the 2nd worst 'TV Novel' drama from KBS after 'Eun Hui'. I was looking forward to see Oh Seung Ah as the protagonist but the drama sucked. On another note, they showed a suicide attempt with slit wrist without blurring or censoring which is very rare for TV.
