I like these stories, so I thought I would like this series. I just didn't realize I would like it this much! A beautiful story unhindered by unnecessary backstabbing and love polygons, graced with quality cinematography and soundtrack. It always got me when Grandpa tried, when he did ballet, when his family discouraged him from it even though he was happy. Although old age is sad in its own way, because you can't do as much anymore and life is over, it does have its beautiful moments and this series "captured" them and dosed them out to the viewer without pushing the envelope too much. What’s more, the old age was presented here as the antithesis of youth, which is violent, passionate, stupid, but strong. The old man and the young man had such great chemistry, they complemented each other perfectly, and each pursued his own goal, but both wanted the same thing in the end – to shine. For me, this series shined. Thank God for 12-episode TV shows. If it had more episodes, it wouldn't have been as good. We got just enough of everything: dreams, family (both the old man and the young man), and ballet. I liked it. (10.05.2021)

That was beautiful. Beautiful, pleasant, and a little sad. Family and its strength in its purest form. I doff my cap to Mr. Park, because to star in a show like this at his age is amazingly motivating. I've known he was a likable guy for a long time, but I'm still glad I got to enjoy his acting talents in this quantity. And Song Kang? I can hardly fathom how a person could learn ballet so perfectly in half a year. I’m sure he'll have a lot of female fans as an actor too, even though so far I'm only halfway to being one myself. In the dancing scenes, and when he melted a little or got angry, basically whenever he expressed himself emotionally, I was his. In the moments when he was cold and pretended he wasn't enjoying life – which was often, unfortunately – I liked him a lot less. But the chemistry that the girls here write about, it's really there between the main couple, and it makes this series totally unique. 4.5 stars (30.08.2021)
