How does everyone like it so far? I can't watch it on my TV, unfortunately, but if I get a chance to rent a copy, I'd like to know if it's worth my time. It sounds like a good premise. Does anyone have feelings about it?

Well, Bo, I had high hopes for this one, but so far it’s disappointed me a little. As seems to be the KBS way of doing things these days, there are too many (stupid and insignificant) plotlines and characters all going at once to make for a straightforward drama show. Now, there’s still some potential for the core characters: the big, ice-cold grandmother-in-law (the pigs feet restaurant owner) her mama’s-boy son and the picked-on DIL, and the decent and straight-laced grandson and his self-centered and slightly harebrained sister (who writes K-drama scripts for a living). I’m still sticking with it, but without any particular enthusiasm so far. To be perfectly frank, unless this show really comes alive in the in the weeks ahead, there are plenty of other K-dramas I’d suggest you consider renting before you rush out to pick this one up. Hey, but this is just my two cents, okay?

you're so right mikey. I have flashbacks to WML and Winter Sonata. FRI/SAT dramas just haven't measured up. The PigHalmoni is a good character but there's such a great amount of silliness. Every time the background music is a tinkly piano piece, you know something silly (but not funny) is going to happen. Several pretty stupid characters. Like you, I'll give it one or two more weekends... if silliness reigns, then I'll watch my newly purchased Winter Sonata set.

Aww. Too bad. Come to think of it, I have not yet screened the rest of Jumong, and I have to write something on that! Stick to that for now, I guess... I'm just missing the family dramas, that's all. I wish and wish for a Who's My Love, Yellow Hankie or Tender Hearts, but none seem to appear. PoorBo

I just started watching last weekend.
It seems ok so far. But it is a little silly....the jokes are not really funny....but it is more upliftng than Happy Woman.
I might watch it from time to time..but it's definately not as good as Winter Sonata, Summer Scent and The Chill Sisters. Those were my favorite Friday/Saturday dramas.

Maybe it'll improve with time.

Have dramas ever been repeated after a while? I began watching Korean TV during the run of Yellow Handkerchief. I watched less than half of the story, and would sure like to see the entire story. I also have read comments about other stories that apparently held wide appeal and sounded very interesting.

WOCH did repeat a few dramas, several years ago, notably "Who's My Love" and "Love Letter".
I think that, since WOCH hitched it's wagon to KBS World, they will just be showing whatever new drama KBS comes up with.

I can't seem to make myself watch this show in a timely fashion. I keep taping the episodes and then put off watching them for days. It's just not grabbing me, and I can't keep it straight in my mind vis-a-vis the daily drama. That's the problem when they reuse so many actors, you keep thinking you're watching the same show over and over.

LOL. It's not the same actors--it's the same SCRIPT.
