Hyo-jin Gong as a single mother is a big YES for me. She had already showed once before that she's well suited to such a role in Thank You. (Pretty cool that after twelve years, she's taking on the role of a mother of a child almost the same age, and you'd hardly know the age difference.) She's amazing as Camellia, just like she was as Bom's mom back then. But this treasure of a show is definitely not just about her, it's about the whole Ongsan gang. And trust me, you won't get bored with them. And I bet you'll be impressed and surprised more than once. Anyway, Camellia is 5 stars for me, and I definitely consider it one of the key TV series of the past year. Its "multi-genre" quality is unique. Moreover, the enthusiasm just oozed from the cast, and they all managed to squeeze every last bit of themselves into perfect small-town characters. (19/02/2020)
