Lately there have been very high quality donghua based on manhwa webtoons, and this continues the trend. It's a well animated show with beautiful music and a heartwarming story. It's the kind of show you might want to watch with your mom. And you might want to start treating her better. In the prologue, we are shown that the mother takes great pains to raise an unfilial boy, and on her deathbed he wishes on a star to sacrifice himself to give mom the life she deserves. In anime parents are usually absent or abusive, so we don't often get to see this kind of parentallove and filial piety. It's a fairy tale story, with morals and magic, but with a setting and characters more grounded in the real world, which makes it much more relatable.

The show is mostly plot-driven, with characters responding to the situations that arise. A weakness is that some parts of the plot feel arbitrarily thrown in to keep things moving or create difficulties.

The character designs are very nice and have young adult human proportions. Mom is beautiful and Can is quite handsome. Can is already very filial by the beginning of the show, but his flaw is being too protective of Mom and being prone to violence. Mom hardly has flaws at all, being confident, kind, strong, and wise, but maybe brash. But the character traits don't really affect the plot much. The voice acting is good.

The music is great, with a couple good insert songs which you can find in the forum discussion below.

The ending is anime original, and is very satisfying and conclusive.
