One of those shows you have to watch at least once in your lifetime , absolute masterpiece

A serie that gently touches the heart, like a piece of winter's warmth... leaving behind the fragrance of hope and beautiful memories. I adored this work from beginning to end for its captivating simplicity and sincere human depth. What moved me most was its unique way of evoking the atmosphere of bygone years - the music, fashion, and small life details that made me feel I was truly living that era, not just watching it.

The emotional journey of the characters and the changing circumstances they faced were handled with remarkable sensitivity and painful honesty. The events weren't idealized but realistic, making me grow attached to each character and follow their development as if they were someone I genuinely knew.

This is one of those rare works that leaves a profound yet comforting imprint on the heart, reminding us that simplicity - when told with authenticity - can be more beautiful than any complexity.

This was great!!! IU did a great job portraying both Oh Ae-sun and Yang Geum-myeong

Bittersweet story that follows the ups and downs of a couple and the family they create. Made me reflect on the life I've lived and the life of my parents quite a bit. Life truly does keep going on, and this show made me look forward to what life'll bring me as I keep living.

Netflix selling again woke agenda, and 90%, and just 4 comments, bots aré not writing 10/10 like in Imdb, 228 Reviews gave 10, and 256 in total. It Is not Bad but no More like 7, not the Best Buy far away from 9

Beautiful story from start to finish!! Really highlights the struggles of adulting. All the young dreams long forgotten for loved ones 😭

When we’re young we hope to be an adult soon but when we are the adults, we finally learn that the adults in our life was also experiencing their firsts.

Life is just a process of learning new things every single day. Every actions, every memories, are part of the journey that shapes our life ❤

I started watching it today and finished 4 episodes that already made me cry. Life is hard but how you wake up every morning just because of that hope.
One of the best k-dramas I've watched so far surely gonna rewatch it every year.

Very good show, quite sad love story that gets you hooked up.
: listen to original Korean audio track and read subtitles
because (like in Squid game) many characters have very poor dubbing in English (don't know acting) and it's quite irritating. The Korean actors voices are much better, rendering proper emotions.
