Poignant. Emotional. Heart tugging. Insight. Powerful. Everything to learn about love, sacrifice, self-esteem, family, siblings, motherly love, parenting, human nature, good and evil....this is one drama that I overlooked and after watching I would say it shot myself in the foot. Is it Haimoni Hwang? The cute but very adult though still a child Pil-Gyu?, The bumbling governor wanna be? The kleptomanic Hwang-Mi who was simply lost and would have made better decisions if she hadn't been judged harshly....Dongbaek was a character I could relate to and I was amazed at the fact that love truly empowers you. Yes it's filled with tears and awful moments yet at the same time people who love you would make you better and that's what Yong-Sik did for Dong-Baek. The Onsang market women finally rallied behind the lonesome Dong-Baek who was literally pining for a sense of belonging and family would protect its own- which is what they did. The drama is definitely a must watch again for me. The cast was amazing, scenes well delivered and the photography beautiful. I loved it 🧡
