"A drama series based off a book of the same name about generations of a family striving to survive, starting during the Japanese occupation of Korea in 1915 leaping around years up to 1989! Worth watching as the highs and lows of each family member is shown through the years of when they first meet to a passing of a great friendship!"

"Show of the year. Honors the book very well. Such a moving story, and truly eye opening to the hardships Koreans endured in Japan. I cant wait for season 2."

"Watched season 1 . Have so many questions. Compelling. Interesting. Fast cuts to different eras and stories with slight connection. Favourite scene is Hannah and Solomon and finding Hawaii as she is dying."

"The book took me awhile to get into but I’m glad I stuck with it bc it was a very well written family saga. It starts out slow and hard to follow though. The show depicts things differently and changes some things but it is definitely very, very good!"

"Really enjoyed this series. Highly recommend!"

"Wow, I did not expect how much I’d love this show. Probably one of the best shows on TV. Highly recommend watching but have some tissues ready. Completely binge worthy! Can’t wait for Season 3 already. Bummed I’ll have to wait! You need to watch this!!!"

"I am absolutely gutted after watching this. Incredible characters, story, acting, cinematography, all of it. I am going to read the book to finish the saga because I cannot wait for season 2 😭 "

"I liked this series but it was nothing like the book. The book was much better."

"Amazing. Can’t rave about this show enough. I really hope they make a 3rd season "

"Good but the book is way better. The earthquake scene is not in the book and didn't need to be in the show really though we get a look at Hansu's life before he became wealthy. Adding this episode and leaving out what happened to Noa then the time lines jumping all over the place makes things messy. Hope season 2 fills in the large gaps in the storyline. "
