The thing that makes this drama unique is that it incorporates a lot of flashbacks to tell the story of the female main lead. The FL is currently in a coma at the present, but she's supposed to be getting married to her fiance whom she met in college. The focal point of this drama is not about the accident or how she got into that predicament. After all, she's in a coma for most of the episodes and she lives through flashbacks that tell the story of how she and her friends met. Moreover, this drama's purpose is to highlight the people who are special to the FL. Very clearly, all the people in her life have a piece of her heart and she lives through them, even though they may not realize their significance.

This drama is confusing in that it does not introduce the characters in the beginning nor does it explicitly show how each character has grown from the past to the present. It's meant to build on the viewer's personal experiences and memories, especially for the sentimental ones who look back on their college days and wonder where the people we used to know have gone. During this drama, I wondered: would I ever be able to reconnect with my old acquaintances and friends again? This drama is artistically done and is up to your interpretation of what the moral of this drama is. For me, it's reminiscent of the people who I used to know but only exist in my memories now. Most importantly, it reminds me that even though these people may not be in my life anymore, their impact on me is forever.

Loved every single second of this drama! I found this on YouTube, MangoTV with English subtitles, so props for availability and not giving me the runaround. I put this on hold because the plot didn't sound interesting enough, but I boy was I wrong!

I really liked the opening song, an instrumental of the theme song "When I See Your Eyes," when I first clicked on the video and the other OSTs. At first, I really hated the spotty acting from the characters, the MCs, and the people surrounding them, but I later realized that it was done purposefully.

The two MCs, first meet in college and that's where the drama kinda (not really) starts off at. The characters (when they are portrayed as college students) are meant to come off as immature, naive, and cringy (as one would feel if they looked back to the past). Think all the times you stayed up thinking about cringy things you did when you were 13. However, when the characters are shown a couple years later, the acting is smooth and depicted as mature (an obvious sign of growth). The story flits back and forth from the past the present, using flashbacks to tell the story rather than just plain words.

The plot is simple, with few cliches, which is rare these days but has an amazing theme with tons of meaning behind each scene, which is, of course, subjective. Each character grows and you can really see the character development as each episode pasts. It's not draggy, the shots are beautiful (for what I assume is a lower budget drama), and the acting is pretty good.

You'll feel the angst as you try to figure out the plot, but it's well worth watching. You'll find yourself falling in love with this story and when you reach the end, you'll yearn for more. This drama is aimed more towards people who like watching romance, young love, and happy endings.

You will like this drama if you enjoy watching dramas that are somewhat cliched, have romance, and focus on families. However, the story dwells a little too much on Hwang Ji Eun and her evil mom, and some may find it frustrating/boring but that's all part of the process of watching K-dramas. Have patience!

Those looking for romance will get their fill of it (there's a healthy dosage of it). Even though it is 121ish episodes long, each episode is only 35 minutes. The MCs Kang Han Nee and Lee Han Kyul start off on the wrong foot but slowly fall in love (it's interesting to see them work it out). Parents, greed, and evil sisters are the main antagonists in this drama (as with the majority of Korean dramas) but the acting is solid. There are lapses in the fluidity at times, but it's hardly noticeable unless you're looking for things to nitpick. I didn't hate the music, which is a plus, but the only song I found memorable was the ending song. [Edit: I went back to listen to the OSTs and am totally in love with Life is Like That (Project 406) and Come Into My Heart (Coda Bridge). The rewatch value is a 10 for me because I liked most of the episodes and have it playing from time to time as background noise.

I stumbled across this when I was on the KBS YouTube channel and saw clips of it while scrolling through Instagram. It's safe to say that this drama is full of typical plot devices that have been used in countless other dramas (amnesia, an oblivious mom looking for her long-lost daughter who's staring her right in the face), but it's a safe show with a happy ending and few loose ends.

First off, I didn't watch the Korean version of this drama. Originally, I was intrigued by the sewing aspect and was pleased to see the story feature embroidery competitions and such.

This drama is cliched in that it deals with amnesia, adopting a child, and evil, scheming antagonists. However, if you look past all these flaws, the story is truly beautiful.

MC Jin Yi Bei loses her memory and becomes is found and adopted by another family. She loses her memory and thus is given the name Zhang Guo Guo, daughter of a wonton shop. Her new sister is the troublemaker in this entire story, stealing opportunities, concealing the truth, and being vindictive. Zhang Guo Guo meets Li Yun Kai and they fall in love...but missed opportunities.

Loose ends get tied up at the end, but the chemistry between the two MC's, Deng Lun and Sun Yi are the true selling point. They are so cute together and I love all the scenes where they are chummy with each other.

Loved the music so much, I have it downloaded.

As of the date I am writing this review, this show is still airing on TV. This show originally started off rocky and showed stark differences from the original Come Home Love sitcom. In the first hundred to two hundred episodes or so, there is a story arc involving a ghost that joins the Hung family on their adventures. The ghost leaves the show at around the three hundred mark due to contract issues with TVB, but they tie up the loose ends nicely.

This Come Home Love spinoff is much more lighthearted than the original. It's not as serious and much more conservative and "censored", so it is more suited for children to watch. The original dealt with much more serious issues that may have been unsuitable for kids.

There will be some episodes that seem annoying, cringy, or incredibly infuriating to watch, but I've learned to be persistent because there will be plot twists. Each episode will bound to make you laugh and though it is over four hundred episodes long, with an estimate of around five hundred forty as of 2019, this show is worth watching.

There are meaningful themes in most episodes which I personally appreciate and look forward to. It's fun to watch the characters grow and see how their story unfolds. I'm particularly excited for Koni Liu because this is her first big break and she's doing a great job.

I wasn't too keen on the original theme song, but I really like the one by Jaqueline Wong.

I hope you give this show a try and will enjoy watching this show as much as I do.
