Hi,
I just started watching the show from New Jersey and while I am trying to catch up it's still difficult to figure it all out, such as who is who and the hsitory of the show. Can anyone tell me of a site, in english, where I can get an overview of the show, characters, who's who etc. The only one I found thus far is all in Korean, can't read it.
thanks for the help.
Sophia

I keep seeing ads for this show evertime I turn on the TV. What's the premise of the show? Is it any good?

It's 2 brothers, a sister, their mother (grandma) and their families. The sister is a widow whose son died (we think). One brother is well-off, owns a homeshopping network, the other has hard luck and has to keep scrambling for a living. The wife of the rich one is a mean-spirited snob and the other wife is sweet and hardworking. The grandmother lives with the poor son. (Why? I am wondering for the first time, because the other DIL is so snarky?) The widow took in an orphan girl at the beginning of the show, who promptly met the rich grandson and sparks flew. The poor son has loved his schoolmate for 10 years, but she sees him only as a friend. Rich boy got engaged to the girl his cousin loves, because the 2 mothers are long-time friends. But rich boy keeps hanging around orphan girl and they fall in love. Rich mother hates her. She gets engaged to her new boss, rich boy kidnaps her for a few days and they play house. Rich mother finds them and slaps girl (for the third time, the evil thing) and scolds son. Poor cousin charms his love's father, but doesn't know who he is until later. Just this week poor cousin get a proposal from his love! Poor family also has a daughter who just graduated from high school and is frankly greedy. Big secret: rich boy is actually the son of poor family and they gave him up for adoption and he resents it like crazy, but hasn't told anyone, just broods and make cryptic comments. He assumes poor family sold him for the money so he resents them.

The grandmother lives with the poor son. (Why? I am wondering for the first time, because the other DIL is so snarky?) I believe it's because he's the eldest son and it's traditional (or used to be) that the eldest son takes care of the parents...including living with them or vice versa. HTH....and if I'm wrong, anyone please correct me. Melissa |

Wow ginnycat, I should submit my summaries to you for editing, that was quite succinct; have you by chance worked with the people that produce the 1 minute versions of classic plays? |

Thanks, Captain Video. I was on a roll there. Nothing I can count on, unfortunately.

Wonderful job, Ginny. One clarification--the engagement between rich boy (Sukhyun) and the girl the poor boy (Ki-woong) loves has long been over. It is now months since that engagement collapsed (mostly because the girl [Haein] realized that Sukhyun loved the other girl (Jongnam, the one Sukhyun just kidnapped). Haein recently gave Ki-woong another look and fell in love with him, and she just proposed to him the other day.

Deleted spoiler from ouiouigirl. It was a big one. Please be careful! ! ! We are only on episode 135 or so, and that was a really bad spoiler.

You're welcome. You didn't see it? I'm glad. It was the second message in this thread. And I wish I could erase it from my consciousness, but some people just don't believe all our repeated warnings that this is a Chicago message board and we are usually behind other places in our broadcast schedule.  |
