The Feel-Good Part
The drama showed reality. It shows how people struggle and their daily lives, their relationship with their jobs. The characters make you sympathize from moment to moment and then suddenly make you regret your decisions. But the male lead showed us a positive side, and he taught us how to look for positivity in every situation. The male lead had a bright side, but it made him look selfish at times.
The Disappointing Factor
Nam Geum Pil, as a father, was presented too much as a loser. Some scenes became redundant. The ending felt like things were being rushed. The character conclusions were not well-handled.
