3/4
For septuagenarian Shim Deok-Chul, his unfulfilled dream is ballet. As a child, he had wanted to take lessons, but his father stopped him. There was the lack of money, but also prejudice against men who participated in "women's" artforms. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
The result... ...is the icing on the cake that lifts Navillera from being an easy-going and heart-warming drama to something affecting and inspirational. Go to Full Review

If you're not at least halfway invested in Deok-chul's long-held desire to be more than just a boring mailman family man, your heart is at least half stone. Go to Full Review

Allise W @RT78632512 02/08/2025 This is one of the best series EVER. It is heartwarming, sad, funny, and poignant. The older husband and wife duo are beyond endearing--and one can't help but love them. It's also refreshing to see the perspectives of 3 generations--and how they navigate life's hurdles. Everything about this series is extraordinary--from the acting, writing, filming, and wardrobe. See more Ishani D @RT91400556 04/07/2024 Watching this show felt like a dream come true in itself! A Must Watch! Special? No this show is super special. The sweetness of the entire drama will keep you captivated till the end. It will make you smile, make you tense, and make you cry like a baby. The perfection of the storyline, the concept, the performances, the aesthetic, and everything about it makes it an extraordinary watch. It isn’t our regular romance drama but a drama about achieving your dreams irrespective of anything because if you want it, and if it makes you happy you should do it for yourself. Love this drama, it is like a ray of hope, a dream, and deserves so much more recognition! The characters are also so well built, each one of them will make you fall in love. Ah I miss this drama so much. I wish I could lose my memory of it and watch it again but whenever I feel like it, I revisit my favourite moments from it. Moreover, this drama is like hope. A hope for anyone who wants to soar like an eagle, and fly freely like a butterfly, and I bet everyone’s wants to do it at least once in their lifetime. I love Navillera, this drama is a breath of fresh air, sweet, and scented. Please go and watch it, it is definitely quite underrated, but I truly wish in coming time more and more people come across it and love it. 🦋💕✨ See more 04/27/2021 I absolutely loved this TV series. It had me laughing, crying and reflecting. The actors were great, the story line was amazing, and it touched me somewhere deep because it addressed so many human life issues that we all face at one time or another. Mr. Sims character and Charoek was so inspiring and Mr. Sims' wife was a true image of a wife loving her husband and caring for him. All the characters were great and they all spoke to me. I loved this movie and I hate that it is over. However, these messages that I received will live with forever. I love a show with substance and this one most definitely had it. Whoever story this was or just the writer(s)....Kuddos to you and the director. This show was amazing beyond the few words I have written. I truly loved it. See more 03/31/2021 My favorite k-drama in 2021 so far!!! SO GOOOD!!!! See more 03/26/2021 Fresh, heart-warming, and thought-provoking! Only 2 episodes in, but already in love with it! I cried so hard in episode 1 because the story is just so real and so touching. Episode 2 is a bit lighter and funnier and I really enjoyed the chemistry between the two male leads!
