About
If you like gritty, tear-jerking dramas where love grows out of hardship, this may work for you, especially if you enjoyed Call It Love; Not for you if you want light escapism or tightly realistic plotting.
Pros: emotional survival journey; strong lead performances; tender love story | Cons: uneven Belgium storyline; forced drama elements; clichéd gang subplot
