In the early episodes of this drama, it tells the story of Hong Dae Young who chooses to take responsibility and marry Da Jung because she is pregnant with their daughter. Their story ends with a happy ending like in a movie, but life continues for another 18 years. Hong Dae Young, who used to be a handsome young man, now looks old like any ordinary parent. The reality of his life is so burdensome because he often faces misfortunes and arguments with Da Jung more frequently.

We have to determine our own time, KLovers. Because it is us who live our own lives. Make decisions when we are ready and be careful not to make fatal mistakes.

2. When Having Passion or Dreams, Never Hesitate to Grow and Pursue Them

Like Si Woo, who actually likes basketball but doesn't want to admit it and lacks confidence. One day, Woo Young, who is the young Dae Young, sees Si Woo playing basketball alone. He, who has been a father all this time, never knew that his child had an interest in basketball. So, on the opportunity that Woo Young has, he supports Si Woo as a friend.

Passion is very important in our lives, and everyone has different passions. Don't hesitate, develop it! This will make you more enthusiastic, and you can also discover your dreams or life goals from the passion you have.

3. Don't Blame Yourself if You're Not Accepted

Jung Da Jung used to have difficulties in finding a job. Because she already had a child, many companies couldn't hire her. Hong Dae Young, as a husband and close person, was always there to support her. Eventually, Da Jung's dream of becoming a scriptwriter came true. She could work at a TV station company even though she was married and had a child.

Whatever has been tried but doesn't meet expectations, don't regret it, lose hope, or blame yourself. Maybe your fortune is not there. But if your efforts are accompanied by prayers, there will definitely be a way out.

4. If Tired, Rest

There are times when we feel tired and even feel down about everything that doesn't meet our expectations. In episode 7, there is a scene of Dae Young calming Da Jung while looking at the night sky on the stairs. He comforts Da Jung who is sad because of her work. "It's okay, you did well." is the sentence uttered by Dae Young to comfort Da Jung.

If tired, resting and not thinking too much about it is a good solution. Tomorrow is a new day for us to start again.

5. Respect and Love Parents

Hong Si Ah and Hong Si Woo are certainly fortunate to have hardworking and loving parents. In this drama, we can observe many scenes between parents and children.

Woo Young advises Si Ah and her friends to try to save and make good use of the pocket money given by their father. Also, when you make a mistake, apologize to your parents instead of leaving rudely.
