Spoiler free review: my honest opinion
I personally loved this drama as it’s an emotional journey of three unrelated siblings, which shows us a family bond beyond blood. From the very first episode the story makes you glued to the screen due to its balance between emotions and humour. It’s about family , healing and unconditional love beyond blood. Later in the process of becoming the emotional support for each other and in the journey of growing up and standing by each other together no matter what, the leads don’t even realise and fall in love with each other. Lastly it shows us that relationship is not always about happiness and love, it demands patience, sacrifice and forgivenesses.
