"Heartwarming, tear-jerking, but not really movingThis film tugs at the heartstrings, evoking a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality for all members of the family. It tries hard to maintain a pleasant atmosphere without delving too far into melodrama or stress. With a strong influence from Japanese drama, the mood and tone set by the soundtrack give the film a charming and pleasant atmosphere, not overly sad.
