A nostalgic look as a group of families living in Seoul. The highs and lows as they face heartbreak, disappointment, and success and jubilation. Each episode is one and a half hours and is quite slow in evolving the drama, but is well acted and the underlying story of we may be poor but we are richer in many other ways is the theme. Although it is a romanticised and dramatic account of family life, people will recognise small snippets of their own families. A little too sentimental for my tastes but I can understand why people rate it so highly as it does have a rich positive message.
