I watched the first 2 episodes of this drama. It's not bad but it's not great either. The drama is mostly about Kim Hye Soo's character and her family. Kim Hye Soo is a good actress but overall I'm not too fond of the cast. BTW, Kim Hye Soo played the role of Jang Hee Bin in the KBS historical drama "Jang Hee Bin".

My main reason for checking out this drama is because Park Han Byul works in it. It's a shame that her character has a small role though. I think the storyline so far between her and her love interest, role played by Choi Sung Joon, is quite interesting. Well, it's the most interesting part about the drama to me anyways.

Although the ratings for the first couple of episodes weren't that great, it wouldn't surprise me if this drama was aired here in Chicago.

no offence to anyone here, but thsi show sounds alot like many other korean shows. maybe, this isn't my place to speak, since i only watch historical shows, but it just seems like the basic plot of this is not too different than a few of the other shows knov1 kindly told us about.

Is anyone watching this drama? It's currently being given on Wednesday's & Thursday's @ 8pm. Episode 4 aired yesterday.

I have to say that originally I wasn't fond of the cast and the storyline was too similar to other dramas but my opinion has changed. The cast works well together and this drama is pretty funny. I think the problem for me the first time was that I mostly was paying attention to the parts with Park Han Byul.

No, but it's worth watching if only for the storyline between Choi Sung Joon & Park Han Byul.
