Very much enjoyed reading this Board. Here in New Jersey (NYC metro), Likable finished up a few weeks back.
I and my wife are in our late 50's and I suspect that puts us in the upper age bracket for most posters here. Yet, as with you, we both very much enjoyed watching this show from beginning to end. I am sure you will feel a bit saddened when Episode 172 (Last Episode) flashes on the bottom of your TV screen.
So, what makes this drama so good - why so popular? I don't want to try and monopolize so will state just two reasons of I am sure many and see who else would like to offer a thought or two.
First, do most agree that Danpung is really the strongest character on the show? She really comes into her own after the "bus incident." She really is fun to watch as she "stands by her man" and for all the right reasons.
Second, the interplay between all the generations was always interesting. All the characters had their moments, not just the younger leads. To me and my wife, that really added also to this drama.
Show that replaced Likable here is You Are My Destiny, a good show in its own right (if have there, bear through the first two weeks - it gets better) but must admit, between Destiny, High As The Sky, Wide As The Earth (first we watched) and Likable or Not, Likable is our favorite by far.

It has been one of the best I've seen also.
