What I liked

I loved the story being told and the cast who made it real and relatable.

What I didn't like

I thought the argument that the daughter was making to her mother for why they need to take the stand for their rights was not as compelling as it could be. Also why the need to hire an additional housekeeper was not fully addressed and it distracted the audience as i kept wondering if Nanami and her family were to lose their job and home to the new housekeeper.

My overall impression

OMG. This was such a great show! The story line is beautiful, the cast members are strong. There were no bad actors on stage. They were all so good in their roles and convey the exact conflicts that the writer wants to convey. At the surface this appears to be just a love story between two teenagers. However, its contents revealed racial injustice, economic inequality, lack of freedom out of fear for certain ethnic group, and generational pains.
