Is it worth it

The childhood half is one of the best things 2024 produced and the adult half spends the rest of the run undoing it. Three children raised as siblings by two broken fathers, filmed with real warmth and no sentimentality, and then a love triangle grafted onto the same people once they grow up. Hwang In Youp and Jung Chae Yeon are fine. The younger cast is better. The last four hours reach for illness and estrangement instead of finishing the story they started. Watch the first six with your expectations managed.

A youth romance about two men and woman who aren't blood related but treated each other as family during their teens and how they meet again after 10 years.

Hooks early Episode 1. The three kids and the makeshift household are established beautifully in the first two hours.
