This series touched me in so many ways... I started watching it as the Netflix suggested me that and the title was intriguing to me. I so loved several aspects of the series such as the fast pace of story without hurrying up in the narrative, how love easily cruises through cultural/ language barriers, the relationships' bonding, family supporting each other, connecting to roots, living with painful uncertainty, non-biological parenting, individual's inner wounds gently showcased yet not deflecting from the main plot. The decision making made by the couple seemed so straight forward, quick and obvious but if I had to put myself in there in any character I would have felt struck forever without making decisions; that's revelation to me about life in various angles. Like for eg. Amy choosing Lino, Lino moving to move to LA, they both choosing their careers despite respective fathers' wishes for them while still holding onto the relationships, even after marriage how they are handling the career choices of their preference to meet financial needs and also accommodating partner's needs, how they work on a heartbreaking situation as a family..
The story was filled to brim with romance and gentle subtle humor and love and respect and family and passion and cultures and beauty and cherishing of every moment and lots of gratitude... it opens me to a lot of fresh perspectives and makes me wish for more in life. It nudges me to zoom out and see the bigger picture at any circumstance... It make me consciously feel proud, grateful, joyous, ambitious, loving and loved.
