Drama Digest

The storyline follows two women who reset their lives after facing challenges. One of them is too concerned about their career and the other about family. It is a romance story of a divorce diagnosed with cancer and a man who is a single parent.

The Feel-Good Part

The show provided some excellent concepts that mainstream Korean shows fail in showing, such as child depression, homosexuality, and family abuse. The characters portrayed the chemistry and all the conflicts well. As the name goes by, “Amor Fati” says- “Love of one’s fate”, it compliments all the characters in the show. The show is all about the hardships and grief that they go through in life and how they overcome it all in the company of friends and family.

The Disappointing Factor

The ending of the show is quite unsatisfactory. They gave the main characters a pleasant conclusion, yet they wrapped the side character stories up in the last episode. Yu Na did not have to repay her actions as the conclusion received the most criticism.

This drama is an excellent choice for a comfort show. It is simple and light-hearted. The 120-episode-long investment is totally worth it.
