This started off okay and then the plot became too predictable and convenient. I just wanted to fast forward through that last 4 episodes because I felt that the one big lie had abscessed into ugly dialogue with scenes that just didn't make sense.
I thought the acting by all the cast was actually good. It was just the storyline and forced extra scenes that made it fall apart for me.
Actually, if you do fast forward over the filler parts, its not horrible. A complex story of life, hardship and a mother's undying love... and rainbows at the end before the hint of a sequel. (Please no).
