Well, this series is very long so having a summary would be...well, challenging... "A Kindred Spirit" pretty much centers in on a family who run a little cafe that specializes in meat. Even though the series is well over 1000 episodes, I guess it really attracted a big audience because a lof of realistic issues come up in the series so in a way, it appeals a bit to everyone. And because it's so long, we all can watch as each of the characters change and develop over the series. Characters come and go and only spurs the storyline to progress.
I know that this series is quite old but as long as it's interesting, who cares how old it is?
If you like long dramas, I would definitely recommend this series for you to watch =)
