I like this drama! mom is very different from what i originally thought. she gives advice and insults to her kids but she does it with a calm voice. she almost sounds like she is whispering! I LOVE grandpa! I love eunsil. her mom is always beating her because the poor girl sees ghosts and hears voices.. The show started out with a bang! i feel sorry for yeongmi & yeongsu. one has a boyfriend who hides her and has an ex wife and child, who are going to cause lots of trouble for them. the other sister has a rich boyfriend who has lied to her and made her look like a fool in front of his parents. plus his mom is such a SNOB and bitchy!! i would not want her for a MIL!! SCARY! and as for yeogil and his goofy wife... she is going to but heads with hanja (the mom). yeongil acts like a kid. but his sisters are a little to hard on him. i feel like he feels like he is the loser of the family! can't wait til next week

After this weekend's episodes, I've decided I don't really like the show. Too much yelling and mutual disrespect. I wish I could agree with you, Pippi!

Lucy,
I agree with you. I'm trying to hang in there but the WHINY MOTHER, a great deal of disclosure of bodily functions and so much confusion among the adults.......just when you think you can grasp onto something, it goes back to what I just mentioned.
Right now, I’m trying to stick with it to see where it’s going. Hopefully, it will move into an area where I can see beyond the way I’m feeling about it now.
Wish me the best !!!

I've decided to bail on this one, and it's the first time I've done that in the 5 years since I have watched K-dramas. I usually watch all the stories that are on, but this one is too ridiculous for me.

I like it too...Ignore the haters...I think that the Chicago Kdrama fans are suffering from overload... We've got so many E-subbed dramas going at one time, you have to pick and choose what you want to watch... He was great in "Who's my love"...At 73 he's still going.... Lee Soon-jae (이순재) has a large fan base... LINK

I also wasn’t particularly impressed with this show in the early going (I’m a few weeks ahead of Chicago). However, it’s just now starting to grab my interest. If it’s been a letdown for you, you might consider just watching casually for a while longer, and see if it eventually grows on you. He was great in "Who's my love"...At 73 he's still going.... He was also astonishingly good (in a very non-comedic role) as the sometimes scary King Youngjo in “Yi San.” He’s quite a capable actor!

Jeonghyeon really let his mom have it! She did not even give Yeongmi a chance! She is so MEAN and cruel! I am glad that he stood up to her when Yeongmi could not.. It was so sad watching her cry her eyes out. and when her dad stood outside her door listening to her cry and he could not bring himself to go in her room..

Poor Yeongsu. I felt bad for her on Friday's ep. She was crying from frustration from all the pressure from her parents, sister and her boyfriends ex and daughter... What a mess.. The ex is a witch, the daughter is a brat (taught by the witch), and her parents are making her get married (not knowing Jongwon's baggage). Yeongsu feels like her parents high hopes rest on her since she is the most successful one of the family.. I feel like she loves Jongwon, but does not want all the headaches he brings, but does not want to break up with him either. The ex will cause trouble since she can't have him and Sora will be a brat because her mom taught her to be that way and believes it was her dad's fault they divorced. It will be hard for Jongwon's parents to accept Yeongsu because they probably think that she broke them up.. What a mess..

I tried watching this when it first started, but it didn't interest me. Maybe I should try watching it again. How is the character played by Onim from Ajumma, for those that watched that one? Sorry I don't know the actress' name.

Hi! I have just started watching this Korean telenovela -- I do not speak Korean so I am relying on the subtitles. So far I am enjoying the storylines but I am having trouble getting the characters sorted out -- especially, since the names of the children are so similar. Also, since the partners in a marriage refer to the parents-in-law as mother and father.
Please can someone help me or direct me to a good presentation of the characters and storylines. I enjoyed in particular the meeting of the two mothers in the restaurant to discuss whether they should permit the marriage of their children to take place.
Another reason for which I am enjoying this show (this evening is my third week of watching) is an opportunity to learn about the culture of Korean urban society, e.g., how bedrooms are set up with the persons sleeping on the floor.
Thank you!
Jeroen

This show just came to NJ last Sunday, and last nite was the 2nd episode (my 1st). I saw a couple of familiar faces, and I need help placing 2 : The pregnant woman and the son in the rich family (I think he had a secondary part in 9 End 2 Outs -- can anyone verify this?) Also the daughter who is the attorney was in Bad Couple (if anyone couldn't remember where they might have seen her). Thanks a bunch in advance....

I LOVE Jonwon's dad!! He is open minded and very nice to yongsu's parents. Jonwons dad make me laugh. He is a bit pushy but has a great personality!

Does anyone know what happened to the husband of Yiseok ( the aunt)? He must have been in Las Vegas working as a Wayne Newton impersonator... Did you see him last night...Looks like a real slimeball...
