This drama is about sibling relationships and for most of the show there is no end of troubles of all kinds from financial to relationship to health. Serious issues like alcoholism domestic abuse and gambling are dealt with but there are some comic relief moments. One problem will lead to another and simple conversations explode into arguments. The eldest brother raised and looks after his younger siblings. When he gets sick and needs a liver transplant from them they are all unable or ungrateful and unwilling. They all act stupidly and stubbornly at some point of the show. 2 of them are particularly damaged narcissistic characters played against type by Lee Si Young and Oh Ji Ho who are usually rom com players. The mother of all of them is pure evil. Luckily there are a few friends with common sense.

One of the surprising good points of this show is the insights into the psychology of damaged people who can only see things from their own point of view and obsess and twist things. Viewers may see some of their own relatives in this show. Anyone who has had screwed up family might relate. The characters may seem to horrid to be believable but let me assure you there are people like that in real life.

Not a pleasant watch but engrossing.
