I can find no fault with this series. From writer, directors, technicians and throughout the whole cast, everyone has presented sterling work. My first 10.
The writer gives us an original concept, showing us lives and deaths of startling intimacy, and the director never overwhelmes these delicate and sometimes heart-rending stories. The development of the over-arcing plot, showing the process of each of the main characters as they deal with their own issues and build new relationships in the light of differing responses to loss, is delicate but powerful The acting is perfect throughout.
This is moving but not sentimental. It addresses many issues, some violence, some political matters, and, of course, loss. But it also raises a question - who exactly is most disabled here - and how should we defne or categorise disability? Is it to be pitied, or understood?
I often enjoy a drama but still find the pacing laboured. and yet this one was perfectly pitched. It CAN be done, Korea!
I cannot recommend this enough.
