Although the majority of people in my country don't place that much of an emphasis on college entrance exams, the shows message still resonates. I have never enjoyed a show that solely focuses on family before. There was very little romance, which in a way makes it very realistic.

The acting was excellent. Both the parents and kids were realistic in their portrayal. It's not even the big events in the show that convinced me of this, but the small instances, such as the mom hugging/"disciplining" his son, telling her nephew to be good. There was also one scene where said mom gave her friend's daughter a hug saying something along the lines of "daughters are really different from sons" while her son watches with a funny expression. LOL

There were heavy themes too, but they were handled pretty well.

Overall, this is something I would rewatch.
