Cha Younger and Kang find yourself working at a hospice. The present goes via the lives of everybody residing within the hospice who got here for end-of-life care.

Spoilers Begins
I used to be slightly irritated with the love story so this present was not a lot the vacation spot however the journey that acquired me. The primary love factor is unrealistic and has a play-out theme. Plus, I don’t like how impolite he was to her to start with, after which immediately out of nowhere he’s sort to her as a result of they had been again in his hometown. I assume it form of has to do with him getting over the truth that she is his useless greatest good friend’s ex. The ending made me form of mad. Why did she run away? Perhaps she has dedication points. I felt no chemistry between these two.
I feel the characters had been named Lee Kang and Lee Joon to be consultant of Joseon Kings. They had been the Lee dynasty with single-syllable first names. Two potential heirs battling over the coveted hospital chairman place. They developed no actual relationship with one another even they’re shut in age and Joon’s mother and father inspired this rivalry.
I like that the ladies ran the present. Although Kang’s grandmother and aunt had been villains, they managed all the things. The grandmother was a mast manipulator and we later came upon had at all times deliberate to make Kang the successor. She solely introduced him to show him to be extra aggressive.
Kang’s lack of his greatest good friend hit actually exhausting. Kang had nobody after his mom died. He had no different pals and his household hated him. His grandmother was chilly and his different aunt (not Joon’s mother) was solely involved with herself. Kang went to nice lengths to search out Cha Younger to get the mandu gook (dumpling soup). He missed his final fishing journey with him. He missed so many fishing journeys earlier than and this was his final probability to go fishing along with his greatest good friend. He had so many regrets along with his greatest good friend. Although he was a jerk more often than not, you possibly can really feel his loneliness when his greatest good friend died.
I discovered the connection between the hospice director and his ex-wife the saddest. Having Alzheimer’s may be simply as unhealthy a dying. She has moments of lucidity and moments the place she resides up to now and thinks she’s nonetheless married to him. His apology to her killed me! There was no technique to know the way lengthy she can be lucid and he took the chance to ensure he mentioned all the things he wanted to say to her.
I completely love Ha Ji Gained and he or she was so wonderful and cute on this present as she at all times is. Her character’s empathy in the direction of everyone seems to be was heartfelt and he or she introduced such an enormous emotional facet to the present itself. She actually seemed like she poured her soul into her meals when she was cooking.
There have been so many moments within the present the place it was too late however the households did what they may to make the final sufferers’ final days as greatest as potential. This present positively sheds gentle on how vital it’s to spend time with the individuals you like earlier than it’s too late.
