The play tells the story of the process of finding happiness through the gap between parents and children and overcoming crises, each completing the process of finding happiness.
"The Knot Once" heralded the birth of an amazing weekend drama.
KBS2TV's weekend drama "Over Once" aired on March 28 made a good start, with ratings of 19.4% and 23.1% respectively (according to the national standards of the Korean market research company). The meticulous portrayal of the generation gap on the divorce issue in the play, as well as the tacit cooperation of Actors such as Li Minting, Li Xiangye, Wu Daihuan, Wu Yun'er, Li Chuxi, Lin Jingen and so on, conquered the hearts of the audience.
This episode draws attention to the divorce story of the four brothers and the miserly father Song Yingda (Chun Hao-jin). Song Yingda is the pillar of the Song family and is always busy taking care of the chicken shop. The eldest son and the eldest daughter divorced, the second daughter was about to divorce, and the younger daughter dissolved the marriage contract a day after the engagement. The family's wonderful story brought laughter and regret to the audience.
On the realist side of the TV series, in the image of the eldest son Song Joon-sun (Wu Daihuan) and the mother Zhang Yufen (Cha Hejuan), the eldest son believes that divorce is not important, Song Naxi (Lee Min-ting) believes that divorce is a trend, and their mother pessimistically questions whether divorce is something to be proud of.
In the first episode, the characters played by the miserly father and the strict mother switch smoothly between seriousness and wit, which is enough to attract a small screen audience. The scenes of two grief-stricken but hesitant to make a brief phone call to their soon-to-be-married children paint the image of Korean parents who always care about their children, thus making the audience feel sad.
Married couple Song Na-hee (Lee Min-ting) and Yoon Gyu-jin (Lee Sang-yeol), the only faith of their parents, also attract attention with the image of a quarrel. On the outside, they were perfect, but when they got home, they became nagging and lazy people. Song Naxi showed a look of weariness with her mother-in-law's anger and excessive care. The mother-in-law loves her son unconditionally, thus portraying the contradiction between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law in reality, which resonates.
The performance of the play is as if they are integrated with the characters in the play, allowing the audience to be more immersed in the play. In addition, the director's approach, especially the depiction of real everyday life, and the intriguing plot helped the show win the hearts of the audience.
