The acting is sublime. This is a story very heavy on emotion as it narrates the struggles and pains of a simple family across different eras. The historical context amidst the Japanese/Korean relationships adds a lot to the drama of people struggling to get buy and grabbing to anything, mostly to a few others, for emotional support and often their survival.

This Show is founded on the dramatic emotions that the characters go trough. It's a dark story that most of us can use as a reflex of something in our lives or those of our ancestors no matter the race, culture and time. As such it was imperative to have acting of excellence. It would have never worked otherwise.

As far as i am concerned, any art form is only really good if it influence you in some way or another. As a descendant of European immigrants this TV show was a reminder of the struggles we once had to endure while seeking a better life. And the way the story managed to portray the fact that nearly ALL of us will have to SUFFER at some point in time helped remember that we should always try to be comprehensive and tolerant.

This is in fact an ODE to the hardships of life. It was not an easy going watch and yet i devoured all episodes in a couple of days. Both the magnificent work of the actors and the very humane story effectively managed to play with my emotions. Well done to all.

Those side stories are absolute gems. Both this one and 1st season's were wonderful stories that left me wanting more. In fact, i completely forgot what show i was watching. Surely, it wasn't that goofy, easy to watch show about a video game. This was a real Drama that took me away from the main story. The danger of making such episodes is that people might end up wanting more of that new world and get bored with the more ingenuous original series. Everything from the vibe, the music, the directing was wonderful. Can't wait for season's 3 side story.

What a great concept.

Here we have a light TV Show for nerds with no real purpose besides being funny and serve as simple entertaining. No need to spend energy to follow the plot. No need to intellectualize the story or charters. No need to spend time actually paying attention to the nuances of the writing.

This is a show that you appreciate after a hard day at work with you kids and friends. And i like shows like this. They serve a purpose. They are like fell good food.

And yet, out of absolutely nowhere, we get this episode. A story line completely unrelated with the show's timeline, filled with emotion and meaning. A love story that involves a love at first sight moment entangled with the love for the creation that united 2 people.

A bitter sweet story that completely shatters the feel of the show and got your feels going unexpectedly.

I never saw such concept before on TV Shows. Side stories are a thing but having them so removed from the world of the show is not normal. It was a huge risk but it paid off.

In fact, some of the best things in life happen because they were unexpected. You cannot fake surprise genuine curiosity.

This episode was a gem within a simple banal TV Show to the point i felt the need to log in and congratulate this entire thing.

Other shows should follow this idea. It was refreshing.
