So Jin, the protagonist, is a complex and layered individual. She is a scientist who is preparing a PhD thesis about birds, and had to work as a part-time substitute teacher at Hye Na's elementary school.

Hye Na, the main character is a victim of bullying in school and an abused kid in her household. Despite her difficulties, she rarely shows her distress and only lets out a cheerful personality and kind character. Her gorgeous childlike smile is the first thing that gets to break the ice between her and Su-jin's cold demeanor, and through their very first interaction SuJin and Hye Na get to strongly connect and relate to each other.

Su Jin slowly starts to care about this mysterious girl who is supposed to be her student for a moment, and her caring and compassionate mother nature emerges with her decision to kidnap Hye Na in order save her from her the violence and abuse she faces in her household.

Along the way, with different flashbacks, the traumatic past of Su Jin starts to unfold subtly as we get to observe and empathize with her feelings of anxiety and self-doubt when it comes to her ability to save Hye Na and successfully move with her to another country.

Hye Na, whose name becomes Yoon Bok as she begins her new life with Su Jin, starts to learn to not only love others unconditionally but also take the time to feel loved. Her trust, attachment and admiration for Su Jin grows deeper and deeper as she comes into terms with the idea of having her as a new Mother. The journey also digs into Su Jin's background, who in Yoon Bok's company, gets to confront her past fears, her family, society, and accept the trauma she has experienced previously in her childhood.

The story is about the pure love that two human beings are capable of feeling for each other, a mother and a child who started out as complete strangers, only to become the center of one anothers' lives.

I gave the drama a 10 out of 10 for its great plot, the characters that are beautifuly written, and the cast who are simply mindblowing. I loved the acting because it wasn't only believable but it gave to the story its whole magic. I loved the absence of any romantic elements, as the story was focused on motherhood which made it captivating and emotionally impactful. I've rewatched it for the third time this year and couldn't help but cry wholeheartdely with each depressing scene. The lines are heartbreakingly perfect, and every character falls perfectly into its place.

I've learned from Yoon bok how to always take note of the glimpses of beauty I come to encouter in my everyday life, to never take things for granted and to always smile. Her small journal was like a magical purse, in which she hid all the beautiful memories, as if she was collecting some rare gems she fears to lose. Now I've managed to have my own journal of gems to help me stay strong when life gets hard.

The monologue that Kang Yeong Shin (Sujin's mother) says towards the end in her last moments of farewell, has dug its way deep inside my heart and is still be one of the most marvellous scenes I've watched in a kdrama.

Now if I had to describe this work in a word, it would be "MAJESTICAL" with no doubt.
