Checked and re-read

The ratings

8.5 on MyDramaList, but written reviews put the story lower, at 6.7. Worth reading why before you start. Fans see it differently: most love it. With the two pointing different ways, we leave the label off.

Complaints are mostly about taste.

MyDramaList figures checked . See it there. How we read these.

Is it worth it

Sixteen hours of three siblings commuting, and the slowest thing here by a distance. The first four episodes are close to nothing happening, and then the real subject arrives: not romance, but the specific exhaustion of a life that is fine and unbearable at the same time. Son Suk Ku's drunk stranger and Kim Ji Won's worship line are why this page exists. The brother finds a direction without ever settling the relationship, and the ending is deliberately unfinished. Do not start it looking for comfort, and do not start it tired.

Three siblings, exhausted by the monotony of day-to-day adulthood, seek to find fulfillment and freedom from their unremarkable lives.

Comfort rewatchOften

Slow start Episode 3, once Mr Gu starts drinking with Mi-jeong. Before that it is deliberately airless.
