This is basically like 4 regular kdramas in one, 2 really sweet guilty pleasure romcoms, 1 really juvenile show that's somewhat annoying to watch & one that is really boring. Considering that this is a 50 hour family drama targeting families -including children and the elderly- it's the best outcome one can really hope for. All things considered Once Again is possibly the best family kdrama ever produced. The content that was meant for different audiences is bearable. The makjang stays just below my nerve threshold. I'm sure you all know how the typical kdrama recipe is like, where everything goes to shit around episode 14-15 and then we get a happy ending in the last episode. Despite the 50 episodes the ratio of conflict is very similar to a regular kdrama, but while binge watching this the "bad" episodes can be a bit taxing since there are 3 times as many of them due to the overall length of the show.

Overall I'm happy that I watched Once Again, but I ended up skipping many of the annoyances.

edit: My Father is Strange is a very comparable family drama.
