The series is about a group of long term friends and relatives who are in the winter of their lives and facing the issues that come with age. Wan is a writer and the daughter of one of them and her mother try's to persuade her to write a book about them and their lives. Wan is reticent at first as she always feels put out by the demands of them but will she eventually be persuaded. ? A delightful well acted and directed series which looks as how old people are viewed and how we should never judge others without looking at what they have faced in life.

What a wonderfully delightful series! Each one of these veteran actors threw out all the stops and gave top notch performances. They touched on every topic that people face in their lives especially as they enter their twilight years. I didn't want it to end!!!
nothing like it

Outstanding performances! I'm giving it a 10/10 because of the out-of-this-world-performances of the casts. Great to see South Korean film veterans show how to shine in a movie screen. Each one of them gives a stunning interpretation of their role. This drama is a tribute to these excellent actors and actresses. They are all marvellous! Not to forget of course these three from younger generation, Go Hyun-jung, Lee Kwang-soo and Jo In-sung. You can't resist falling in love with them. These two actors, LKS and JIS may have few scenes in this drama, but they are just incredible with giving justice to their respective roles. LKS is so good as the caring son. I am amaze too with JIS «silent acting» as a disabled man who is loyally in love with the woman of his life. His timid smile and his soulful eyes, as Yeon-ha, give me the constant urge to give him a warm hug.
To the director... you have done a great job showing us the best of these wonderful artists! Thank you!
Hats off to all of you!!!

Warning: Spoilers
This series has it all: Cancer, dementia, suicide, 2 cripples, a wife beater, an old man who has had a stroke, can't talk, and walks around acting like an imbecile, a mother who tries to kill her 6 year old daughter, people who treat their relatives and oldest friends like dirt, - my God are people in Korea really like this? No, they can't be. Characters that are depicted like this are unrealistic because someone would have beat some sense into them or at least turned their back on them long ago. The people who wrote this depressing series must hate people, especially old people.
Just when I didn't think it could get any weirder, in episode 14 the gorgeous female lead stands in front of the bathroom mirror slapping herself in the face. Other than horrible, despicable, unbelievable characters, and weak pointless writing the actors are all good, the Slovenia locations are beautiful, and the production values are good.
However, there are lots of highly improbable scenes for example, when Park Wan comes running down after her mother's surgery and sees her boyfriend sitting there in his wheelchair... she stops, doesn't say anything, then runs past him. I don't think so. He came all the way from Slovenia, she would have said something.
It's one improbable scene after another and then a few episodes later a character flashes back and you have to sit through the same stupid scene again. There is a lot wrong with this idea and it's execution, from the opening attempted suicide to the inane mud fight at the end. Just skip it.

A Brilliant 10/10 Classic - Honest Heartwarming & Hillarious Satire on Twilight Years
harvieG9 June 2021
An Outstanding Screenplay & Production With Stellar Performances by her all star cast. This shall be one of my all time favourites. Agree with a few of the other 10/10 reviews. An animated & lighthearted look at the lives of a community of ex classmates in their twilight years, who never lost their Joie the Vivre, but bravely faced the realities, laughed, cried and worked through the challenges, together. A Beautiful depiction of true inter generational friendship and community. Pure gold.
Honest and brilliant
