About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like warm, bittersweet dramas about second chances and human connection, in the vein of One Second or So Long, My Son; Not for you if you want fast action or a dark, heavy tone.
Pros: heartfelt life lessons; funny touching moments; strong central bond | Cons: simple familiar story; sentimental at times; drama over action
