It is such a shame. For much of this series I was carried along by the moving story, the touching relationships and the presence of Son Ye-Jin.
But sentimentality was layered on ever more thickly as the series progressed. I also struggled a little with three female friends seemingly so invested in each other that parents, siblings and menfolk were constantly relegated. I found these problems created a barrier to engaging emotionally with the characters and their predicament. The harder the series tried the less emotionally invested I became.
But still there is some entertainment to be found here. Korean dramas excel at relationships and this is a relationship drama.
