It's very good. I have just finished the third ep.

However, it's very different from dramas I normally watch. There is a lot of business talk etc and in some ways, it is the most 'alien' drama I've watched. Falling in love is the same anywhere, but this is about family interactions and society and specific culture, and (especially since it's set in the 1960s) it feels alien. Not in a bad way, but in a 'pay attention or you'll miss something' way.

There is almost no romance, but KimuTaku is wonderful. It might feel decpetively slow but it's not draggy and I didn't ff past any business scenes because they built this atmosphere. But it's very much an unusual drama for me. It reminds me of a Zola novel, really.

The family is horrible and twisted, but not so much in a kdrama style but in a really sick/bad/wrong/need to shower way. No idea if I am explaining myself well.
