Time slot: Monday & Tuesday
Broadcaster: tvN
Genre: Melo
Episode count: 16

Reasons to watch: tvN debuts a new melo this week, a family-focused reconciliation tale featuring a strong ensemble cast. Chu Ja-hyun, Han Ye-ri, and Shin Jae-ha play siblings, with Jung Jung Ji-young and Won Mi-kyung completing the Kim family unit as their parents. Kim Ji-suk and Shin Dong-wook complete the ensemble as, respectively, a long-time friend and a potential love interest of Han Ye-ri’s. The Kims are a fairly run-of-the-mill family, there’s love there but also bickering and the siblings aren’t as close to each other or their parents as they once were. When Jung Jin-young, has an accident that results in memory loss (that may or may not be an act), the family rallies together and attempts to recover Dad’s memories by showing him old family photos and videos. While going through the family archive, a huge secret is uncovered, creating misunderstandings and conflict. PD Kwon Young-il’s most recent work is Search Query: WWW and writer Kim Eun-jung is responsible for one of my favorite shows, Flower Boy Next Door, so I’m thrilled for this premiere. I love every member of this cast and with this writer-PD duo, I have high expectations for interesting characters and storylines.

From the first picture seeing Kim Ji-suk side-staring at Han Ye-ri and I’m already invested in their relationship.

Looking forward to this one!

I see Kim Ji-suk everywhere (or maybe just the dramas I'm watching, watched recently, or intend to watch). Is this a sign or what?

Anyway, I had no idea this drama existed but omg, sounds like something I'd enjoy. Plus writer of FBND? I'm in!

Wait, this is tvN? That's weird, it's really giving off KBS weekender vibes.

Anyhow, I'm excited! Kim Ji-suk!

Looks like this month will only have 3 new dramas. That means July will be choc-a-bloc with premieres.

Wait. What. How did I miss news for this drama? I really love when cable does unconventional family dramas like this, I absolutely love the cast, and the writer is pretty promising. And now I don't even have to wait for it to start airing!

I've watched the first episode. The melo is perfect, it's not too dramatic, but it's not too little. The first episode is good.

I love the acting in this drama. Han Yeri's angry tears and argument w/ Chu Ja Hyun is perfect. Everyone is good. There is no blackhole in here so far.

Me too. I think this drama will get good ratings later on. Today's episode rating is already a decent start.

This had such an excellent opening episode, so much better than almost everything I've seen in the past few months! I hope it stays this way. Delighted to see it's going to be recapped.

Hi! The hand signal is to show support and say thank you to Covid 19 frontliners :).
