Synopsis:
Cha Soon-bong is a widower who has devoted his life to
his three children, loving them despite their self-centred selfishness and
disrespect. However, when he discovers that he has terminal cancer, he decides
to use the time he has left to ensure their happiness when he is gone. His
eldest daughter Gang-shim, after a failed relationship, has resigned herself to
never marry and a lifetime of being alone; his eldest son Gang-jae, a
brilliant oncologist,
is resentful of his humble origins and has entered a loveless marriage for
profit; and his youngest son, Dal-bong, is a drifter who claims that nothing
seems to go right for him.
As part of his scheme Soon-bong takes his children to
court, since he has received none of the filial
piety that he is due; he asks instead for a cash sum that none of them
can pay. The children settle instead for granting their father seven requests.
As these requests are fulfilled they each in turn comes to realise the reason
for their father's bizarre behaviour. To make him happy, all that the children
have left is to set right their own lives: Gang-shim dares to let go of past
hurts to be with the man that she loves, Gang-jae learns to care for those
around him, and Dal-bong comes to learn that hard work is never unrewarded.
Soon-bong dies happy, able leave with his heart at peace,
for his children have rediscovered what it is to love and what it is to be a
family.
Thoughts:
This drama was a hit and I had to finish it first to give
my thoughts on it. If you watch it from A to Z, you will surely get emotionally
attached to the characters. (I did, and it's takes great work for a drama to
make me cry) It was a big rollercoaster ride watching this drama. I feel fluffy
when I see romance blooming. I laugh when they're comedic especially one of the
couples at the beginning of the blooming of the romance. This was far much
better than Ojakgyo Family. I actually watch a 53 episode drama without feeling
bored much. KBS never fail to impress me with their family dramas. Even the
writer of this drama was awarded Best Writer. Splendid, Emotional, Comedic,
Human, it gives the viewers some reflection on their lives. The characters are
also relatable to normal people.
Watch it and I assure you, your eyes will be stuck on the
screen. Have fun watching! Hope the fire of this drama have not lost its heat
yet.
