This is one of my all time favorite dramas ever! The acting was A+ and the storyline was so so good. The use of plot devices, time jumps, and characters arcs all created one of the best told stories of the 2000s in my opinion!

Liked:
- The use of time jump to create a full story of a multi generation household and the many obstacles of that historical context/cultural context.
- The characters were amazing!! Well written, great redemption arcs if relevant. You wanted to root for them all, and at the same time wanted to just slap all the villains
- Use of historical and cultural symbols/context to really make it feel like an authentic story of what it was like to grow up a Peranakan women during WW2 and beyond

Dislikes:
- the ending! but I understand it. No spoilers. Just go and watch

I LOVE THIS DRAMA. have rewatched multiple times already. Give it a chance. I think it's on Netflix.
