A beautiful story about unique characters and all their ups and downs in life

Our Blues reminded me how precious the "Slice of Life" genre is. It showed the viewer how different and unique everyones life is and it drew attention to so many important topics in a beautiful and heartwarming way.
I have to admit that the beginning was a bit jolty for me, so I even dropped the drama by ep 8. BUT that didn't prevent me from rating this drama with 9 stars. The only reason why it was difficult to drive into this drama was the big amount of characters that were presented, so I was a bit overwhelmed by which person was related to the other one. And of course some storylines were more relatable then others, yet they were all beautiful written.
What I loved the most about this drama was how well the characters were designed. For every emotion they felt and every action they took or every word they spoke, there were reasons and past events which explained their choices so well. So especially in the beginning of a story I sometimes was a bit angry at some characters because of the way they treated others but while watching their story developing, their actions began to be understandable. I also loved that in every conflict nobody was totally right or wrong, this made their stories so realistic. It showed how important it is to be forgiven and honest to each other.
I also was stunned how well they brought sensible topics like mental illness and disability to the surface which are often presented in a stereotypical way. As a person who doesn't have to handle depression or facing ableism, it gave me an insight which made it a bit more tangible for me.
In general the drama covered so many stories about love, friendship and parenting beautifully and it is for granted that you will feel every emotion. From heartbreaking scenes to heartwarming ones everything is there!
Definitly worth to watch :)

Show's a healthy relationship but a laking storytelling

I loved the beginning. Especially the way Sung Deok-mi's job as a curator was presented. The characters and the way how the main leads came closer were also well written. But at some point the storyline lost its charm and all the casual plots were told about the coincidence finding a lost child and how the main leads realized they knew each other since childhood. It's nothing new and it's predicable. Because of this, the series was not emotionally touching. I stopped watching it at episode 12 and needed to motivate me to finish it. Nevertheless, I loved the way how healthy their relationship was and how kind they treated each other. It is a good counterbalance towards the toxic way of romance some series are presenting.
