  If only...this drama didn't take a downturn around the episode where Seung Joo ties the knot. From that point forward, the storyline becomes overwhelmingly fixated on her complicated love life, leaving the other characters and their stories as mere side plots. This shift in focus severely dampened my interest and ultimately tarnished the overall quality of the drama....

  After completing my viewing of this TV series, I find myself grappling with a mélange of sentiments. It evoked a range of emotions within me, from amusement to exasperation, tenderness to captivation. Though there were moments that didn't entirely meet my expectations, I remained invested until the conclusion. In all fairness, that's worth acknowledging....

  This captivating drama truly elicited a whirlwind of emotions from me - tears, anger, and happiness intermingled seamlessly throughout the storyline. It's a family drama that transcends generational boundaries, unlike other dramas that might be off-putting to watch with your grandparents due to their excessively lovey-dovey and cheesy nature. This particular drama strikes the perfect balance, offering a relatable portrayal of family life with just the right amount of dramatic twists and turns.
  
  Without revealing any titles, the narrative delves into the lives of four sisters,...

  each facing their own trials and tribulations. The eldest sister's storyline centers around her ill-advised love affair with a married man, which initially irked me but eventually evoked a mix of disdain and compassion. Meanwhile, the second sister initially comes across as a freeloader, but her love life takes a surprisingly captivating turn. As for the third sister, the drama escalates when she runs away from home in pursuit of a man who ultimately leaves her in financial ruin. However, her family's eventual discovery and subsequent reunion lead her on a path to finding love once again. The youngest sister's role, thus far, has provided moments of endearing cuteness and comedic relief, although her involvement in the overarching drama has been limited given her high school status.
  
  The music in this drama is truly poignant, serving as a perfect complement to the emotional depth of the story. The impactful melodies have left such a lasting impression that I found myself repeatedly listening to the soundtrack, ultimately downloading all of the OST songs. The music is a testament to the attention to detail and the seamless integration of sound and visuals.
  
  While the length of this drama might deter some viewers from rewatching it numerous times, I still believe it possesses considerable rewatch value. Its greatness cannot be denied, but its extended runtime, inherent to family dramas, might discourage repeated viewings due to the significant time commitment required. However, for those seeking a family drama with exceptional acting devoid of the exaggerated and unrealistic performances often witnessed in contemporary dramas, this is an absolute gem. The cast's authenticity truly lends itself to the drama's verisimilitude, leaving us with a profound sense of truth and emotional resonance.
