Drama Rating: 9/10 Neck Score: A+
It has kind of a Mama Mia theme, as we have the mom and daughter and then three potential fathers. The daughter, naturally, decides to figure out which one was her father, since they were all obviously acting so obvious.
It's about that, of course, but it really is about the mother and daughter's relationship. When it starts out, with the family moving back to the island after so many years, they have a really bad relationship. The daughter is in full rebellion, and the mom is fed up. She is also hiding what she considers her dark past, so that she seems refined and proper. The daughter thinks she is the worst, not knowing that they are really, really similar. From the streaks in the hair to being little thugs. The mom even changed her name, going by So Hee, so that when the daughter, Ok Hee, hears all about the legendary Baek Hee, she has no idea it's her mom.
Then she gets annoyed/amused when all the ajhussi in the town start being too nosy and kind to her, and she decides to get the most out of it. It also is good for her, because she is starved for that kind of fatherly love, that she was never able to have growing up. But it also helps her to learn more about her mother, now that the past gets revealed. As if she could hide anything on an island that size.
I loved everything about this show. From the plot, to the three stooges/fathers, to the lovely 90s past scenes, to the small town island feel. I especially loved Kim Sung Oh. He was so attractive in those plaid button ups over the tees with the sleeves rolled up, and his captain hat and aviators, and especially as he was such a cute, protective, nice guy. Totally my style.
It's short. It's cute. It's funny. It's heartwarming. It gave me all the feels and I was giggling happily by the end. Also, my phone is now full of Kim Sung Oh screenshots, so I could die happy now...
