Park Min Mar 17 2023 1:16 pm Classic Korean society always blaming the woman. Anyway, there are two major problems that completely ruined the drama. The first being the writing. The writer was creating new plot threads and doing nothing with them while having other plot threads left loose. Some major events and actions left without a follow up. No consequences were applied. The other major issue is the pacing. I can say with confidence the no one working on the project had any idea how many episodes they were making. This is why the major incident mentioned in the synopsis took 14 episodes in the past before moving to present day. It didn't leave a lot of room for the characters to develop in the present. What's even worse, none of the development from the past characters carries to the present. The only thing that was carried over is the fact that the incident happen. This created an irreversible disconnect. What's even worse than that is how every story doesn't progress or resume from the past until episode 25. The way the concluded every story is actually moronic. This drama didn't need more than 8 episodes to tell its story from start to finish.

Veronica Feb 15 2022 2:32 pm I started watching this from episode 14 because I only wanted to watch the episodes Namkoong Min starred in. I think overall, he was great as always in how he played the character. The weakness was in the script because there were way 2 many side stories going on instead of focusing mostly on the 2 leads. I read it got condensed to 26 episodes from 50 because of low rating so those side stories never really had a complete ending.

It is really too bad because as mentioned earlier, Namkoong Min was really great in the role and so cute looking. But even the best actor can only do so much with a poor script.

Poka Oct 04 2020 10:56 am This drama will not have a season 2. This supposed a 16 episodes but due to low ratings they decided to stopped the drama. I was a big fan of this drama but they had to cut the episodes :(

saranghae May 27 2020 10:20 am Just finished this drama and im very very disappointed it left sour grapes in my mouth I came here cz of lee so yeong she was also the lead in my love by my side which I just finished and had a good time for me that drama was so wonderful that I wanted to see more of her I got excited and started to look for her other dramas and thought this might be as good as the other cz the plots and gender were kind of similar the first few epi were ok but then it started dragging and the plot was not progressing at all I started skipping a lot cz I wanted to get out of their younger lives part as soon as possible and in a matter of hours I got to about the 15 epi cz I was watching Only about 10 min per epi it took 15 epi just to depict an unwanted pregnancy at this rate the younger lives part of the drama was gonna be longer than the adult lives which was so inconceivable never seen in drama it felt so weird and so boring and even after they got to their adult lives still kept dragging and the plot getting more confusing I kept skipping and got to about epi 23 in about an hour the last 3 or 4 epi were much better cz it was getting closer to the climax and when it finished I had a big interrogation mark what the hell was this?????? This drama was so weird like ive never seen before then I was looking for answers first checking the ratings whch there were none so I went to other site and found that the rating was extremely poor like 0.6%/epi even for cable networks which averages about 2% per epi was unforgiveable now things started falling into places in my head but then it also said shockingly that the drama was shorten from 50 epi to 26 then I understood why this drama was so weird I think they did the younger years epi when the drama was still schedule for 50 so 15 out 50 was ok but 15 out of 26 was just a no no but why they didn’t repair it and shorten the 15 to about 4 or 5 which was the right thing to do I think there was no money to do it cz they probably shorten the drama cz there was no money to fund the production of 26 to 50 epi much less to redo some epi so they just throw in what they had as is and the result was a big mess so for those fans asking for a season 2 you can wait all your life but it will never show up I think they should’ve never put this on air it should’ve been scrapped all of it and I feel sorry for the writer cz this could’ve been a good drama in its entire 50 epi just bad luck This drama was so messed up beyond repair this opinion is only my speculation and is not ill intended

Earl W. Vanderpoort Apr 18 2020 8:55 am I agree with a lot of the comments I've read about the height of the older Jun su, but I feel he's such a gifted actor he pulled it off. When they first cut to the characters to 12 years later though I didn't care for his depiction and really didn't like any of the characters accept Gan Guk and was totally on her side so I considered not finishing the series. I'm glad I stuck with the series! All the sub-stories didn't end the happy way I would of liked, but they all were acceptable. I wonder though about Yu Su-han is he getting together with Mu-Cheol's sister? I wished I could see Jin su and Gan Guk more together after they reconciled although when they were their feelings for each other was always satisfying. I particularly liked the last scene when the respective mom's called and they turned the phones upside down. Would love a season two where the sub plots come to a happy ending I want to see and Jun su and Gan Guk getting married!

I love noodles Feb 28 2020 12:41 am Younger jun su was tall.Where older jun su is so short for comparison??‍♀️

Lee Jan 29 2020 7:14 am The height ofmain actor in later years irked me too. As did changing Darea intp a shorter amazing beauty. I feel same actress could have played herself twelve years later

Lee mcintosh Jan 29 2020 7:09 am Please tellme if there will be a season two. Season one ended abruptly

Thank you

Guiltypleasure Jan 05 2020 9:11 am It's third times watch this drama because hot stove league only 1 episode airing last week. LOL I agree with @FIU , but I assume everyone grow up, only him who is not :) luckily it's Namgung min, so the drama still interesting with his natural acting although sometimes he is silly & cringy . He is like magnet who is attractive with his uniqueness. He reminds me of Jim Carey :)

I also agree with made in africa, main story is just about 25% while side story dominates the drama. I skipped so many scene because only main story that is intsresting

Fiu Dec 01 2019 9:53 am Loved the younger leads but the story didn't make sense after. The lead male actor shrunk in size in adulthood so spoiled the rest of the movie.

MadeinAfrica Nov 14 2019 3:36 am Love the main story of this drama, the young cast really did a good job and are amazing characters. My only issue with this drama is that there are far, far, far did I say FAR too many side stories that are so disengaged from the main story it's ridiculous. Keeps me wondering if they were using them as fillers to get as many episodes out of it? But it really derailed the story.

Tami Aug 28 2019 9:12 pm Please have a season 2!

Soma subberwal Jul 21 2019 6:32 am Absolute ly lovely . Please we request a second season... Loved it specially the two young jang guk and ju su.

Ayumi Jun 14 2019 1:53 am i like it i just feel there needs to be a second season it feels incomplete

Mandy May 18 2019 7:28 pm I like this drama during the first 13 episode, the younger years of the adult cast... i felt that its more interesting...

tran Apr 27 2019 6:58 am Suddenly want to watch NamGoongMin in this one and yes, he's good for what's written for him. The adult cast is pretty and KimShiHoo is a charming man.

Chorobe Apr 16 2019 8:01 pm Just a so-so drama. Ending was not good, too many loose ends. I was afraid this would happen when it got close to the end and lots of things still needed to be resolved.

Noni Feb 25 2019 9:18 pm This is not a great drama but somehow I keep rewatching it. Well, the first 12 episodes at least. Like @lauren okaly, I really only care for the bits about them in high school. The adult stuff was meh. Have to skip a lot of the secondary storylines too... Da-Hae and her messy family and the brother-son storylines were quite unnecessary.

The teenage love story will pull you in but don't expect much when they meet as adults. That bit's disappointing.

Memememe Oct 07 2018 1:18 am Korean dramas are the best!

Nadia Aug 24 2018 8:35 pm Far too many side stories. There was more time spent developing all the other storylines and I was only watching for the first love romance. I'm surprised it has a 90% rating here... it was underwhelming

BarefootMoses Aug 20 2018 7:52 am I have been getting interested in South Korean series on Netflix. I have seen many that have kept me fascinated. After seeing one series this series was recommended to me to view next. It started off well but soon began to drag like they were trying to make as mane episodes as they could. One thing even with the cast changes, the eyes of a person do not change despite their getting older. So the lead Jun Soo not knowing who Jang Guk was is really showing his lack of interest in her. Was just too long and as another writer wrote, I too began skipping the "filler" content just to get to the main characters again. This was just an "OK" series - not like some other South Korean Series I have really appreciated.

dkorea Jul 21 2018 5:00 am This is the most ridiculous drama I have ever watched. Starting from the terrible cast through the story line, to the stupid annoying characters. What a waste of time...

lauren okaly Jul 07 2018 8:27 am i only watched the younger version and i continually only do. Shoulda made a kdrama of just the younger version, i ain't watching the older one for a "happy" ending.

i've rewatched the first 12 episode of this drama excluding the ending of episode 12 like plenty of times. good but the fifty episodes after that i would avoid at ALL cost.

Guiltypleasure May 31 2018 5:31 am Seriously, I wonder who choose the casts? When you making film with young and adult version, don't you should looking for actors who is resemble each other?? (Especially main leads) The young and adult version so different. Very messy LOL.

Example, if you want to plot Lee Won geun as teen Joon So, you should plot someone such as Lim Ju Hwan as adult Joon So. Or if you point Nam Gung Min first, you should looking for teen one who is although not too similar as Nam Gung Min, but at least not extremely tall as Lee Won Geun. People grow taller, don't they?

I agree with what @anon said too.

I already finished it all till end (I skipped so many scenes after ep 14th. I just focus on Nam Gung Min's scenes. Only those scenes which important & interesting to be watched).

Me Mar 15 2018 8:44 am Will there be another season of them like getting married and having children and there moms are still trying to understand the concept and their kids are going to school and they age to get through life but the main characters are still them!?

Anon Feb 05 2018 6:33 am I watched this and loved it but some stuff didn't add up like how when after the 12 years they were 31 and Hun was 26, that would mean he was 16 when they were 19 but he was still a kid so it's wrong. If that's the case how old is jung-sook brother?. If your going to have a plot at least make the ages make sense. I also couldn't get any closure from that ending, Did Hun and Ham-cho get together? Did cheol-soo and Hong leave Kim's apartment?. Did Da-hae get together with joon-soo's brother? Why leave us in suspense like that?

Bummer Nov 18 2017 2:46 pm Yes the more I watch the show the more I don't like these characters: adult Jang Kook (I don't get why she has to be so mean, her logic doesn't make sense), Jang Kook's gold digger mother (she should be been more considerate towards others since she came from rags to riches, yet she's sucking on that silver spoon like she didn't know any hardship. She's super annoying), Jang Kook's useless brother, and Moo Cheol's annoying sister. I guess the only reason I'm watching is cuz of Joon Soo, Moo Cheol, and Da Hae

Bummer Nov 17 2017 12:43 am I honestly can't stand Jang Kook's mother.

Vimbai G Sep 01 2017 2:56 pm The young cast was so good, the adults were pretty bad. There was no chemistry with the older cast and the male lead just didn't manage to pulled off. The first 12 episodes were so exciting and you could feel the chemistry of the younger leads! The ending was lacking, the stories were like mid air and then they were just like oh its over not that I was going to be able to watch anymore of it. I would recommend anyone to watch this only because the young cast did such an amazing job!

LEL Jul 30 2017 10:08 am The story was pretty good in the earlier parts and the younger casting was much more on point vs adults. The ending is really poor, if it can be called ending. The abrupt ending made some of the sub-plots seem like straight up filler. What was the point of Ham Cho? To send the grandma to the hospital for a few scenes after her grandson refused to marry her? What the the point of that whole long con from Heo Se Min? We got very minimal returns for how long they dragged it on. 2 minutes of the wife looking sad in front of her shop and standing in traffic? We also never got closure to the cheating husband. Overall started strong but crashed and burned hard in the end.

DURR Apr 11 2017 11:54 pm Still mad how they ended this. Upload the rest of the episodes online instead.

Really now Mar 14 2017 7:20 pm I'm on episode 24... And only NOW have I actually looked this up and found out it was cut before it could actually end. I hate stories with rushed endings. And there's no way even half of the storylines can be satisfactorily closed in this short a time. This drama started off strong, but for whatever reason it fizzled out. I'm just not going to watch the rest. I know it'll just be frustrating.

Valerie Evans Jan 10 2017 12:51 am They need to complete the series. PLEASE, have written a beautiful show.

vixdu Jan 04 2017 2:58 pm Somebody who has watched both dramas which is better Unusual Family that recently ended in KBS or this one?

bestoria Dec 29 2016 8:11 am the ending was horrible because Originally scheduled for 50 episodes, the series was cut down to 26 suddenly.I think the writer do not have a lot episode to wrap the ending well

Lee chan Dec 11 2016 6:50 pm I'm too emotionally attached to this

TheCluesILeftForYou Nov 22 2016 4:50 pm This series started off strong and then just went into a black hole of nothingness, with so many unanswered questions. They spend the last couple of episodes trying to rekindle the love they have for one another, through cheesy plot points and misunderstandings basic Korean drama story-line. Until he finds out she is really his old love..... Honestly they could have taken one episode for her to reveal she was herself, and have them address all the other issues we truly cared about. What about her mother being scammed by the guy, what about Joon-Soo finding out she lost the baby and did not get an abortion. What about Hae being confronted about hiring people to attack Rae. What about Hae's father and his new son, what happened to the mistress. Is the mother and father's relationship truly going to work out (Joon-Soo's parents). Was ANY ONE going to find out that Soo- Han was actually not the brother of the father but his first born son. So many unanswered questions. At first this was one of my top series, then the last episode had me like HUH????? Great story worst ending I have ever come across.

Allan Nov 18 2016 5:30 am Absolutely love this series.

Lorelai Oct 07 2016 8:25 am I'm on the last episode and I can already see I am not going to be able see the ending to a lot of side stories. One thing I had wished for is that they focused on the two main characters a little more. Don't get me wrong, I loved the other stories, but I would have loved to stay on the two main characters more than the others. Also that the story line is better when they get older haha. That was kind of a let down.. I still loved the show and am sad to see it end, I would reccomend to friends :)

Mary Sep 17 2016 3:48 am I so hooked watching Korean Dramas! I was really enjoying this one. But I must say, what a disappointment on the ending. I did not recommended it like others.

Jenni Aug 26 2016 3:10 am What is the name of the song in the opening

Ann Aug 21 2016 8:50 pm I am new to Korean Drama but am really enjoying it - I will have to learn to read faster though! I found this to be a very enjoyable show and find overall that Korean Actors practice their art-form exceptionally well. After reading some of the comments below I was going to give up on this show early on because I dislike unfinished storylines immensely. I decided I was enjoying it too much to leave it - so having a few days spare I binged viewed it on Netflix (26 episodes over 3 days! That's a first for me) I am glad I did continue to watch it because I thoroughly enjoyed it and the ending satisfied me, it left me with an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of relationships and draw my own conclusions - life needs reflecting on sometimes, and my loose ending conclusion answers today are not necessarily the answers for others or even for my past or future self - I may choose other loose ending conclusions in the future. Being Australian I found the screaming a bit off putting but one needs to understand the different genres (I'm sure Indian people don't all sing and dance at the drop of a hat as portrayed in Bollywood Movies) A truly well scripted, directed, acted, produced series. Well worth viewing in my opinion. I watched episode 26 twice I liked it so much.

Plur Aug 19 2016 10:33 am Whoever said that they should've brought up Jang Guk losing the baby, they already have. At episode 25 :3 so.

Sigh. Jul 23 2016 9:44 am Im so sad this ended so abruptly, I literally thought about this show so much when I wasn't watching it and it ends like that? Disappointing..

Naika Jul 09 2016 1:38 am The ending was horrible. So many unfinished key parts of the show that needs to be brought up. Young hee should of left her house because her Ex had the nerve to say it's his house since they're still married. What a pig. They also need to bring up the reason Guk really lost her baby.

Big Boss Jun 28 2016 11:32 pm So did they release the ending song? I really quite like it. If anyone knows about it, please let me know. Thanks.

Migthy Thor Jun 17 2016 7:57 am nice ending (",) except for the couple Kim Young-Hee and Joo Cheol-Soo, I just can't figure out if the wife is martyr or stupid. Actress Lee Tae-Im is really beautiful. Actor Namgung Min, the BEST! Danny Ahn of g.o.d is truly awesome! Supporting veteran actors and actresses, brilliant and talented! I really recommend this romantic comedy drama (",)

ashley Jun 13 2016 11:15 am the only reason I stopped watching the show is because it looks like they didn't even take in consideration what the new actors looked like before choosing them. other than that it was great

Kabage May 26 2016 9:13 pm Hi! Who Sings the theme song?

Nick Beacham-Watts May 23 2016 3:54 am I started watching Korean tv by chance and have really loved what I have found so far. It has made me apreciate that there are many fine, tallented young actors out there. I really admireYoon So-He and Kim Sa-Rang particularly. I have no expertise in film or tv but I did find, like many others that this is very much a series of two halves. I absolutely loved the first thirteen episodes! I didn't expect to get so hooked in by the classic Retro Hallyu, though actually it's a universally recognised theme of 'star crossed lovers' as Shakespear's Romo & Juliet.

     I have a NetFlix subscription so can watch series/episodes multiple times and I intend rewatching episodes 1-13 just to wipe away the dissatisfaction that the remaing episodes has left in me.

I get that the mothers of the two main characters, Yu Jun-Su and Jang Guk were determined to break apart the couple and they did so with vicious ruthlessnes.While they convinced themselves they were acting in the interests of their child, they were really acting out of malice and prejudice, to score a victory for themselves. Also Jan-Su's school friend Da-hae was the protaganist who enginered the breakup through her jelousy and spitefulness in engaging the trio of schoolgirls who drove Jang Guk (in persuit of recovering the school uniform for Da-hae) to flee into the path of the motorcyle, resulting in injury and loss of her pregnacy.The hospital confinement and the vengance inflicted by Jun-Su's mother (forcing the family to close their dumpling shop and leave the tenancy) was spitefully efective in removing and chance for Ju-Su and Jang Guk to reconcile or explain and confirm their feelings. And of course Jang Guk's mother delighted in ensuring Jan-Su's message never reached Jang Guk and exploitited the oportunity to send her to America.

     But what I don't understand at all is why the writer, producer and director produced a series with such a split personality! The acting by the young actors in particular and the writing was incredably sympathetic and the chemistry between them palpable. Yet from episode 14 on the older actor's characterisation was in an entirely different plane. There was some terrible 'over acting' not just from the screaming self-absorbed women, but the males too. Even Jun-Su seemed flipant and rather shallow. His father was the nicest male and Da Hae's father the worst. Was this a vain effort to popularise a failing series (other's mentioned by the time of episode 20 the show had been cancelled) if so it was stupid. I have yet to see the last seven or so episodes. Quite frankly episode 14 upset me so much and put me in a black mood for seveal days that I am almost tempted not to!

Lastly a comment about names, the spellin in the English sub titles and reviews seems to vary why? Is it because of translation differences from Korean or Chines into English? I notice that the Dumpling House is named Dallae is this the same as Dal-lae (Azalia) that Jang Guk adopts as a new name? And lastly On Netflix the series is "12 Years Promis" but the real title is "Wild Chives and Soy Bean Soup: 12 Years Reunion" what is the pun reference to soup does Jang Guk mean soup?

KayV May 14 2016 11:51 pm I came on here to make sure there wasn't another season! I totally agree with all of the posts on here. The younger actors were the best. Their older versions were ok but lacked a lot of the charm that the younger actors had. The moms yelling all the time was annoying but a lot of Latin dramas are the same lol so I'm used to it. I can't believe the ending though. What a let down. It resolved nothing! I'll forever wonder what became of ham cho. Great story line otherwise. It was fun to watch.

Kdrama addict May 12 2016 11:39 pm I can't stand it when they leave story lines unfinished! We don't get to know what happens to anyone in this drama!! Every storyline we suffered through is left with a question mark at the end. Plus the whole drama the mothers and their hysterical episodes drove me nuts. I wanted to through hanfuls of valium at them to get them to shut up! If those two things had been fixed it would have been a great drama.

Gabs May 12 2016 6:34 pm I hate the stupid ending! wtf??? That ending was awful!!!!

sukijan Jan 17 2016 8:41 am I really hate the ending. The ending is make me feel like "is it really over? Just like that?" It's the worst ending of korean drama ever. But the story is great, i love the idea about jang gook change her name and had job in the same company with yoo jpon soo ,but i really hate the ending. Why on earth you make the ending like that. Sorry but i really hate the end of the drama

pnichole Nov 20 2015 11:47 pm Seriously wished they had done better casting! The younger actors were waaay better than their older counterparts and I couldn't get over how different they all looked. I understand growth spurts happen, but do people get shorter in 12 years? I feel like the only grown up versions they got right were Ham Cho and Jang Woo. The only part worth watching is the first half of the drama. I do wish they had spent more time on Joon Soo and Jang Gook; I felt like too much time was spent on side characters. I had to skip through the story lines that I found boring/ annoying. The whole Dal Rae keeping her identity a secret for so long was annoying. And the mothers were seriously aggravating. With all that said, I didn't completely hate it.

rhienz Nov 15 2015 6:11 pm Should just considered it as 13 episodes drama. coz i preferred they end the drama with the jun soo-gook separation. it'll be great even if its not happy ending. their relationship really tug our heartstings

melisa Nov 07 2015 4:23 pm I started this for Lee Won Geun. The cast is great, the only problem Jang kook's adult version is not really appropriate but still beautiful drama!!

Dramalover Oct 25 2015 9:42 pm This show literally sucked. The young past version was like bomb but the present version all went down hill

curiosityfromusa Sep 03 2015 2:36 am I started this show without having much expectation, but since I liked Nam Goong Min from "Can you Hear my heart?", I looked for another show with him in it. I didn't hear anything about this show prior so I don't know the expectations local viewers had when it first started to broadcast. I started to watch this show out of curiosity, but around 5 episodes in I got curious again. I was watching on Viki, and looked at the episode thumbnails to see at which point the adults came in. When I saw that 12 episodes of 26 were devoted to the young actors, my feelings started to sink. I have my B.A. in TV and Film Production and worked on a few projects to date, so you will understand that I started to watch at this point with a more critical mind. I watched and knew by episode 20 that this show was cancelled. There was too much introduced in the yester-years not to even mention what was added in the current timeline to be fully addressed in the final 6 episodes. Even knowing this, I still watched this show entirely. So it goes without saying that I LOVED this show up to the magic wand ending.

Even watching with a critical mind, I could not help but love this story and very pain at the way the show was ended. I know things like this is beyond the productions control but I wonder what was on tv that competed with this story line so solidly that this show had poor ratings. Despite the cultural differences, I felt the story and I was genuinely interested in everyone's story. I binge watch a lot of shows when I have mini vacations and I have gotten very good at skipping parts of shows that hold no interest for me, like entire side family drama and sub plots. So for this show to have me interested in what happened to everyone shows the solid writing and further the acting.

I have read the comments on the adult actors' chemistry and I have to disagree. The adults were not playing two young people that are meeting for the first time without any baggage. This was a woman meeting the man she loved and was disillusioned by later in life. Maybe the viewers wanted more pettiness and fighting. I thought Guk running down several flights of stairs just to stomp on Jun-su foot just to rush on to the elevator was very cute and endearing. I know sometimes viewers want a lot more eye candy than the writer of the story intends and they lose interest when the writer stays true to their story. The writer wrote a saga that needed time to be unraveled. I only wish the viewers would have seen this gem for what it is.

michelle Aug 17 2015 8:11 pm I just started watching this series. Reading these comments/reviews, i kinda hesitated but nevertheless still continue to watch. I agree w most reviews. First half of the story, portrayed by kids do more acting, more favorable than the last half, portrayed by the adults. The kids are impressive, made me want to watch this series without stops. W the adults, am still struggling to finish the story. Dont know if its worth the time

Anna Mar 10 2015 1:42 pm The first half of the movie, when they were young was great, but the second half was awful, i couldn' t watch it... I' m so disappointed

dolce Feb 01 2015 5:30 pm I like dramas like when the woman is able to fight and stand up for herself inspite of what she had through..I can relate well..I got married at 19 and got separated after few months i become miserable..now im going to be 25 but im able to stand up already I used my past as a stairs to climb up, its not easy to look back but at the end of the day the pain became an inspiration to me. the lacking ratings of this drama is the director and producers fault not the actors..both Namgung Min and Lee so yeon have done alot of dramas before. It's not thier first time. .

meera Feb 01 2015 5:16 pm

- - SPOILERS***

I dont get why their's alot of negative comments here .I was satisfied by the ending it so cute when they both ignore thier moms as if they will fight for thier relationship this time no matter what..and I think its not very important to reveal that Da hae is the reason why she had miscarriage. .its enough that Da hae live her life miserable for not liking her back by joon soo..also jang hoon and ham cho are satisfying they meet and he realized what he feels about ham cho, of course its not necessary for them to get married quickly they are younger than Dal Rae and Joon soo..its a good start for them.

jlo Dec 16 2014 4:08 pm I agree with everyone. The first half was very good. The second half was awful.

Lucu Oct 11 2014 1:14 pm -Disappointing ending -Story line wasn't bad, but it lack punch due to sloppy direction -Nam Goong Min was good, but as much as he tried him and Lee So Yeon had not chemistry as couple. I didn't feel it... They didn't moved me at all.

The best thing in this drama: The younger teen couple... "Lee won geun and Yoon So Hee"... They were phenomenal with remarkable chemistry. This drama should have kept the young actors and it would have been much much better with the complete 50 episodes.

The worst thing in this drama: Joo Chul Soo (Lee Han Wie) going back to the house and the wife he left for another. What was that? Is this cultural or just bad writing? Is it normal in Korea for an unfaithful husband, gone for many years, to come back with a child to expect to be welcomed and accepted like that's just a mistake? I understand dramas are not real, but for us that are not korean and k-drama fans the only thing we have to judge korean culture and their people is through dramas. The writers should take into consideration viewership opinion outside Korea.

melmanator Aug 13 2014 7:53 pm hey anyone know where i can find the OST of this drama?

i like the song played inthe irish wristle by Yo joon soo

hana Aug 02 2014 10:00 am wait, i thought it was supposed to be 50 episodes, why is it only 26...............

Sandra Dee Jul 29 2014 6:36 pm I was so drawn into this drama at first. When it was about the younger teen version, it was so beautiful. There was a ton of chemistry between them, the emotions were tugging at my heart and I couldn't get enough of Lee Won-Geun cause he is beyond gorgeous. But when the switch came with the adult actors.....you lost me. There was absolutely NO chemistry and I did NOT like the female lead. I felt she was totally miscast!! I felt that Yoo Joon-Soo was trying to keep the drama going all by himself, and though he was doing a great job...it just wasn't working. Plus, with sooo many annoying characters in one drama, it can drag you down.

Deibys Jul 10 2014 3:33 pm What? That was the end like the end ?.really?...many loose ends...there was way too many fabric to cut up....I feel kind of disappointed because I thought that writers had an excellent history here, they just gave up before time....I completely and absolutely lost my time

JB Jul 10 2014 6:04 am Have very much enjoyed the first 11 episodes. No complaints so far at all. The Casting was perfect. However, I am very aprehensive about continuing further based on the many negative comments here. I have often been disappointed with Korean Dramas that start out well and then fall apart due to lack of focus leading to a very disappointing ending. Sure sounds like this one is one of those unfortunately.

JG Jul 09 2014 8:37 am This was probably canned early due to bad ratings. Too bad cause they could have at least made one or two more eps to tie up loose ends. Oh well. On to the next drama.

pitufokorea Jul 08 2014 3:15 pm really, what about Ham Cho and Hoon the most annoying couple ever, really people?!?!?!?! she was blah he was blah. yes it ended in a rush but i think it was ok, I skipped at least 3 episodes and still got the idea of what it was happening on the story, now lets move on and watch another drama this one is OVER for good.

Rhackie Jul 07 2014 11:27 pm the ending is so disappointing! why it ended too soon. but honestly, after the switch of characters, i lost my interest in the drama... i just wished that someone cuter than Lee Won-Geun replaced him because to be honest, i liked that drama because of him.. hahahaha.. peace

khinnie Jul 07 2014 6:34 pm the ending was kinda crappy and like what even happened to ham cho and hoon. i thought it was 50 episodes and it should be that many or maybe even at least 40 whichever. because there is still a lot more to the story.

Hanni Jul 07 2014 12:38 pm This reminds of the drama Soul mate which ended no where and the 2nd season was canceled. So disappointed. I hope the vampire prosecutor doesn't get cancel too, I read it has been delayed but no word of been canceled. ( fingers crossed).

what the heck?? Jul 05 2014 3:41 am Wtf!! I thought there would be 50 eps but 26 eps and it doesnt even have a good ending wtf!! Such bullcrap!! I loved it at first but why end it like that are they tryin to create another series thats connected .... NO ID think so!! Im so mad..... if anyone creates a drama they should end it properly or at least with a moral..... what about joon sung and da hae?? Ham cho and hoon?? And how can they end with just an engagement??..... I think I should calm down now..... lets not ever think bout this drama again....

Dora Jul 04 2014 1:24 am I was promised 46 episodes! Why did they decide to end it that way?! What about Ham Cho? What about Uncle?! WHAT ABOUT HAM CHO?!?!?!

kim sirae Jul 03 2014 7:40 pm No way! Is it really over? If so it's so messed up!

mao Jul 03 2014 8:20 am It is so disappointing that they ended it like that. I want to see more about jang hoon and Ham Cho

I mean why end it when the drama is on iTs climax. And Joon Soo and jang gook i mean they have been separated for 12 years and they didn't even get some sweet moments. Come on.

Chris Jul 03 2014 6:32 am Please finish this drama properly!!!!! It was getting so good!!! There are way too many unfinished story lines :( I wanted to see more development between ham cho and Jang hoon, I wanted Jang gooks relationship with joon soo to develope more..... So many Un finished stories!!!! What happens with moo child sister? And the uncle of Yoo joon soo???. So much has been left unanswered... :(((( please writer, director and network, finish this drama properly! It was good! And had such potential to be GREAT!!!!

tp Jul 02 2014 7:21 am I've just finished the very last episode last night and was totally disappointed cuz it came to an abrupt end on the 26th eps. Wish there were more to watch. I really enjoyed watching this drama a lot. Thanks to the amazing cast with their most efforts and excellent performances which made the show worth of watching.

wildchives123 Jul 02 2014 12:59 am Maybe there werent many viewers in korea thats why they couldnt make a profit to allow this show to continue. I liked to show so much!! Upset that they had to end it abruptly.;(

Faik Jul 02 2014 12:27 am I can totally relate to what people are saying why the hell is it the last episode, it didn't end very well and I want the remaining 24episodes to be made not fair can anyone from keora explain what's happening here in london there isn't any news so please any reply what's happening is there gonna be another season

Tee Jul 02 2014 12:00 am Ok they cut the show big woop everyone needs to stop complaining. I mean come on ive seen people complain about the show being to long, the actors height differents, and change in personality between the young and old cast. I'm not supprized that they canceled the show with all the negative feed back it received, but I love how those people who kept b*tching about how bad the show now want more episodes. We should just be greatful for the work they put into this series cause I'm pretty sure the cast was devistated when they found out about the cut.

wild chives Jul 01 2014 10:52 pm Nooo I was soooo looking forward to 50 episodes but it was cut to 26. Whyyy did they do that there are still allot of more things to be known. I was so happy it was up to 50 episodes but niow I am left with a broken heart. It was starting to get more interesting. We drama fans have to know what happens not that they just have couple rings. Wow..... now I think the ratings are going to be low(in my own little world of drama fans) I DID NOT LIKE THE ENDING. & this not relating to this but does anybody like Nam Gung Min's old hair cut or new

RyeLyyn Jul 01 2014 9:58 pm OMG what happened??? It suppose to be 50 eps, what the H*** happened??? Why only 26 eps? There are still lot of unfinished story, the mothers, the uncle, the brothers OMG!!!!!!

aleshi Jul 01 2014 6:53 pm OMG why would they leave it to 26??? I really loved this drama :((((((

Dana van Es Jul 01 2014 4:28 pm Will you be coming out with a Wild Chive and Soybean Soup: Second Course? Jang Del Rae never found out about Dae Hee and the miscarriage and neither did Joon Soo. Everyone else is sort of just hanging. Why?

Dana van Es Jul 01 2014 4:15 pm I was looking forward to all 50 episodes. It feels unfinished. Please give us the other 24. Ham cho is still away. The mother still hates everyone. The Young Hee stuff is still up in the air. Did moo chul's sister do anything with her life? Did joon soo ever find out his uncle is his brother and how will that shake up bum sook? Hello? So much left unsaid and undone. You can't just wrap it up with a bow.

mvm Jul 01 2014 3:17 pm haven't seen the last episode yet, i sure hope they find out it was because of DaHae that Gook had a miscarriage....sad that the episodes were cut from 50 to 26. I love Namgung Min I think he's an awesome actor.

Jocylin Jun 30 2014 7:49 pm Whattttt? ? ? ? ? ? I thought they're was supposed to be 50 episodes? Wtf? WHY DID THEY SHORTEN IT? I was so prepared to watch all 50. They cut it like completely in half. No way can it end that fast. Omfg. Wth. Seriously?

rskdrama Jun 30 2014 9:39 am Like a race. Very unsatisfactory ending. Don't know why this drama had less ratings in comparison to Jang Bori drama.... anycase, hope to see Yoon So-hee and Lee Won-Guen soon.

Michelle Jun 30 2014 8:16 am Love this series! Watching it on Huluplus, and still have two episodes to go. This is a very good story.

tehsi Jun 29 2014 11:52 pm Oh no, why just shorten it like these should extend few more episodes to 30. There are still lot of other relationships never developed. haiz.... a bit disappointed with the ending.

adriana Jun 29 2014 5:05 pm Oh no, i was really loving this drama!!!

SHERRIEEE Jun 29 2014 3:11 pm OMG I wish there were more episodes, I just finished it and liked that this drama didn't rush the ending even though the original episode was 50 and they somehow fit everything into 26 episode. There were a lot of other relationships that could have developed but like I said I understand they tried their best. I am glad that they created a happy ending for the two main characters, that's all I needed. OVERALL, I recommend this drama(:

DeDe Jun 27 2014 2:22 am I miss yoo joon soo when he was young

DeDe Jun 27 2014 2:21 am I thought there was 50 episodes, I miss yoo joon soo when he was young

jne Jun 26 2014 7:16 am Yes, due to low ratings the number of episodes has been reduced from 50-26 episodes. I can't believe ppl aren't enjoying this show as much as I am.

mao Jun 25 2014 11:00 am I aree the first 14 episodes hooked me. I still love the story but i wish they chose taller joon Soo or shorter jang gook. I think the moonlight chul guy fits more for joon soo's older self. Anyway, it is a very good drama. All of them were so tangled to everyones life and it is exciting to watch. Btw jang hoon is a jerk

julianna Jun 24 2014 11:39 pm the first 14 ep was good especially the acting of those kids, but the later ep was a bit disappointed, not only because of height but by the way it turned out. The acting of the lead actor he became shallow and wacky whereas when he's younger he's a bit serious and focus. Then the leading lady, i noticed her facial expression was not as good as the younger version. So yeah, i prefer the younger version than the old ones.

juliet zulueta Jun 24 2014 9:38 pm Originally its 50 episode just continue as planned, I dont care others reviews, the characters, actors n actresses are good. Pls extend to 50 ok

Sha Jun 23 2014 9:57 pm Can someone please confirm if they really did cut down the episodes to 26 from the original 50?!!! I really hope not! They will have to do a rushed ending, which would be so so so sad :'(

le Jun 23 2014 3:52 pm i just started watching this drama, it is very good. a cute story of first love and the stuff that gets in the way. i like the cast for the younger and older characters. people are paying too much attention to the height differences of the actors, but you all should focus more on the acting because all of their acting is awesome. i like the main couple the most, there are a lot of stories for the side characters which can get not as interesting. i like nam gung min, i recommend his other dramas Unemployed Romance and One Fine Day. also yoon so hee was in Let's Eat, she looks very different here, i didn't recognize her.

kdramalove Jun 23 2014 1:35 am as im reading all the comments, makes me wonder how some ppl take it so literal. First of all, i care less of the height from the younger version to the version right now. What matters is that it is the same person we know who it is. Yes his character changed but the main reason why he changed is because of his mom, she has played a huge part on manipulating him. He probably became a flirt to avoid actually falling in love and getting hurt because in his point of view he thinks she left him, and she thinks he cared less she left, why cause remember her mom was the one that made the little brother throw away the note. Im not going to say im a fan about the story line or being this long of a drama, but i do enjoy watching it, i have seen other dramas that just drag to the point that even the ending just makes you wonder why you stayed watching the drama till it ended. Im wondering about the last comment that says only 26 episodes? I think it would be more reasonable than keep on dragging the story, they either already find out and try to figure out how they will stay together or they just part ways for good. I noticed that happened with BIG MAN, it had said 20 episodes and it ended at 16. Oh well, that person who said about the height cause of the shoes, you are totally correct, cause he isnt that short she is just taller than him with the high heels. she is 5'5" and he is 5'8" so with heels she will look as tall as him

LeeMinShii Jun 21 2014 11:20 pm theres 26 episodes apparently o.o

rskdrama Jun 19 2014 6:42 am Isn't this a 52 ep drama? Why would they rush?

V Jenkins Jun 19 2014 4:56 am I don't care about the change in the charaters. It can be translated that in 12 years people change and personally if I lost some one that I loved and a baby too...sometimes you change and become a different person because of things that happen in your life...I think people are taking it too literally. My concern is the the change in episodes to rush the ending and not really focusing in the main characters and what happens to them. I don't care about the mom/business/son or the divorced or divorcing mom. I want more story story line

rskdrama Jun 18 2014 2:26 pm I saw ep 21 and also 22. We have all watched a lot of drams where the young actors become older actors. We miss the young ones, they act so much much better. Having said that, we also expect the actors not to lose the essence of their character. Now that I have explained about character and acting, the first and foremost example is Joon Soo. Remember his character in the young actor roles until ep 13-14? This was a dependable, studying well, happy guy, who talked just enough and mostly kept to himself, his family and 3 dear friends. Now the character of older JoonSoo. In one word, it is lose. In the name of co-existence and helping, he seems to be a flirt, poking his nose in everything, and very lose with this mouth. The was he acts with his colleagues, family shows it. That primarily is my major problem that the writer turned an amazing character into such a lose one. Let me tell you, I have really loved seeing Mam GanaMin in various other dramas.

Sophia Jun 18 2014 8:05 am I see so many people saying how they stopped watching the episodes since the arrangement of the young actors to the adult actors...which I truly don't get. I felt the same way about not liking the adult characters at first but as you move on further into the episodes, you see so much chemistry between these actors and(SPOILER) it's getting waaaaay more interesting now that they are starting to figure out that she resembles Jang Gook and the relationship between Da hae and Jang Dal Rae(Aka, Jang Gook) is getting intense from Da Hae's suspicions of Jang Dal Rae and Joon Soo. In the 21st episode...if you haven't watched it yet...it gets more interesting from that point on. 22nd episode, which is the newest one that came out is even more interesting, because Da Hae takes her suspicions to the next level and starts basically harassing Jang Dal Rae. Well, she started the harassing I think either on the 20th episode or the 21st. But yeah, my point is...once you start accepting that they play the adult version of the younger cast...you'll find that you really love this drama and you'll let it go. I let it go, because I was really curious about how the adult actors would fit in and be able to deliver the kind of performance that the younger actors did and they truly did. They're all amazing...you just have to give them a chance. It's just something that's new...I understand that, but you'll get used to them being the older cast.

eighties Jun 17 2014 11:14 pm My dear Amy. Height does matter in a storyline to make it looks real. I agree with those who said about the height, the producer should have gotten a taller male lead since the young joon soo is tall. The story are good but it's quite annoying how short he became since he's only 31 yrs old. I quit watching this since the older version don't have The Chemistry like the young ones. wish to see lee won geun and yoon so hee in another kdrama. They've got the Chemistry.

Amy Jun 16 2014 10:05 pm I love the drama n will watch till the end. Reading below, I was shocked to see people point out the height difference when i didn't really notice it n find that an issue... You see, I was focusing on the story rather than the height or how pretty or handsome they look and finding their flaws...Just enjoy the story and stop judging the height differences..

Bibi Jun 16 2014 4:27 am Older Joon Soo is really annoying. Can't see his narcissism, why does he think, that Dal Rae doesn't like him, just because she has problems with men? Nam Gun Min is a good actor, but his acting in this drama is ridiculous (his height isn't that important. I am kinda disappointed with this drama, the whole plot is getting illogical.

Bubble Jun 15 2014 1:43 pm You guys are all stupid to not realize that the lead girl actress is only taller than the lead male because she is wearing heels dumb asses

Ikar Jun 11 2014 1:29 am Actually there are many things that do not make sense in this drama. For example, like the height issue, the significant transformation between younger and older main characters, and some of their acts. Maybe the director had problem when he wanted to produce the plot of changing in the characters due to changing in current circumstances (joon so family become poor and jang gook family become rich). Unfortunately, the changes are to significant while we already love the character of young Joon Soo. I think thats why we feel quite dissapointed, but I still think they are a cute couple though! ;) lets watch it till the end:)

Ozmo Jun 09 2014 9:11 pm The height difference would have been less obvious if a shorter lead actress were cast.

rskdrama Jun 08 2014 7:03 pm @gung woo.. you seem to have missed the point about liking the younger actors acting more than the older ones.. height is a side not, though its very very visible..

baffled Jun 08 2014 2:59 pm You folks will nitpick about everything...height difference? Maybe you should go to Korea and be the height police and while your at it write the drama's too since you OBVIOUSLY know more about what to do.

VIewers kill me, you harp on the negatives and gripe about these shows yet....you keep watching them. Are your lives so mundane you have nothing better to do? They are for entertainment, if your not entertained the answer is simple. Find another 'more appealing' drama to watch where the heights match up to your strict demands and the quality of the show is more up to speed with your high end taste.

pfftt...and before you attempt to start a back and forth ping pong match I have no intentions of playing the battle of the wits with you all, as most of you seem to have the mentality of a pack of hormone filled teenagers I would wager any remarks directed at me would be nothing more than an emotional induced hissy fit so save it and your public temper tantrums for those who have time to coddle you.

Happy viewing!!

soybean Jun 07 2014 4:07 pm I'm not sure about the internet height of namgung min but in episode 12 he was walking side to side with the actor who plays his dad. They are the same height (and he is wearing shoes so +2-3cm). The "dad" actor's height is 174 cm online. As he is not the "young, main actor" type I think that height is more accurate. Even when standing with the main actresses, namgung min is shown to be short... I can try forgetting the height difference but his acting is not pulling off *sigh*

chives Jun 07 2014 3:49 pm Are you kidding me? Only half an inch taller???? That's 3'5'' minimum just by eyes! Even the promotion event photo showed they are different at least half an adult's head, and that's not even standing neck-to-neck but 2 ppl in between....The actors can always lie abt their actual height particularly the short ones. That only gets exposed when they are standing next to the tall ones e.g. Lee Won Geun -_-

Gung Woo Jun 07 2014 1:55 pm Many of you are pointing out the height issue. There actually is not a height issue unless you count half an inch as a problem. That is correct. The younger male actor is only half an inch taller. Everyone is not doing their math correctly. If the older actor was 5'8" then his height would be 173cm. His acting is actually great and has played in many Korean dramas. Namgung Min is very attractive. I prefer a man over a boy. So tita, rskdrama, mvm, soybean, I hope you an get over the little fact that there is a half an inch difference in height.

tita Jun 07 2014 12:38 pm nice drama

tita Jun 07 2014 12:37 pm i like this drama, if the happy ending of this couple (Joon Soo and Dal Rae) will be together.

tita Jun 07 2014 12:36 pm i like this drama, if the happy ending of this couple (Joon Soo and Dal Rae) will be together. Its true ,what other comments said , why Joon Soo is a little bit shorter than his younger age. Anyway its already there and doing good....

rskdrama Jun 07 2014 12:23 pm I am not liking the older actors or their acting. Older Joon Soo is so how do say this.. too much carefree, laughing all the time.. may be the director and actor think this is the best way to portray niceness but it rubs in the wrong places. As for the older gook or dal rae, oh my she is sooo not the actress the younger gook should be. And gook's mom character is always screaming at the top of her voice. I am sure as @mvm says the height of younger and older joon soo doesn't match at all; older joon soo so much more shorter when around his colleagues too... younger cast were acting so well,,, and they were also great to look at; but these older actors are turning me off!

Amy Jun 06 2014 8:49 am Dumpling Mom is so annoying. Her voice is devoid of emotion except for brash anger and loudness. The storyline beginning was compelling, but the characters have evolved into people it's difficult to care about. I feel almost zero chemistry between the OTP. The secondary characters hold little interest. I can't imagine how they're going to stretch this to 50 episodes.

mvm Jun 04 2014 1:13 pm who ever was in charge of casting got it wrong Lee Won Geun who plays Joon Soo (younger) is 6'1"(185cm). Namgung Min(Joon Soo adult) is only 5'8"(179cm) How are we the viewers suppose to believe that he shrunk for no apparent reason? I am not knocking the actor...they need to just do a better job at casting is all...However I do like this drama.

Wildchives Jun 02 2014 12:41 pm The young actor / actress are the best!!! The older Yoo Joon Soo is sooo silly!!! Totally different character from when he was young!!!! He act so silly!!!!

soybean Jun 02 2014 5:33 am Bring back the teenagers please! Namgung Min is too short for the role and his acting is so annoying. Seeing JS to shrink 15 cm is painful >''<

Sweetpea May 29 2014 6:53 pm It's harder than I thought to get used to the adult characters. The vibe in the episodes with the teenagers is completely gone. It's like I'm watching two different dramas--the adults are just plain silly with Joon Soo being the silliest. I'm so disappointed. I could overlook his height if the character was more mature. All the adult characters are unappealing.

Min May 28 2014 2:25 pm Does anyone know the name of actor of Jang Woo? He was in one of the first episodes. He hit Jang Gook and called her noona after talking about the Jang Clans. And he also brought her to the hospital after she got hit by the motorbike. I can't find any information about the actor. :(

zaius May 28 2014 1:58 am the episodes with the younger actors/actresses were more compelling

Mika May 23 2014 12:29 pm Love this drama. My first weekend drama. 50 episodes. The young actors were great. :)

amel May 22 2014 5:56 pm I prefer young couple seriously joon soo getting shorter when grew up

Hope May 20 2014 11:20 pm One flaw in this drama is Joon Soo, has apparently gotten shorter as he grew up lol

rskdrama May 20 2014 4:15 pm @yeo yh- yes Lee So yeon is no match for the young Yoon So Hee, looks and acting.

CICI May 19 2014 5:45 pm I wanted to add, I really enjoy Bae Jong Ok as Jang Gook's mom. She's been so interesting to watch, I love her voice and she had so many heartfelt emotions during JG's teen years. I'm looking forward to seeing her in more of the drama. What a beautiful actress.

CICI May 19 2014 5:32 pm All of the young actors & actresses were fantastic in this drama. I got so attached and I'm going to miss them. I'm ready to see their grown up selves. Love Nam Goong Min and Lee So Yeon esp.

yeo yh May 17 2014 1:41 am Omo. ..omo yoon so-hee change lee so yeon arģgg...:(

Ozmo May 15 2014 6:11 am

sulking* don't want the young actors to change, I'll miss them too much. They are so adorable together. Can't they do more episodes before the changeover ... please ???

Ozmo May 15 2014 6:08 am I don't want the young actors to leave... going to miss them so much. Can't they get more episodes before the changeover...... ???

Moon May 14 2014 12:13 am I do prefer the younger actors here, they're so adorable.

rskdrama May 13 2014 7:02 am I think by ep 12 she will lose the baby. Then by ep 14 they will be estranged, so may be ep15 the adult actors will come? I personally prefer the young actors. Nothing against adult sctors. But from the actor photos above- older gook looks more like younger da hee with the long face and older da hee looks like younger gook with the round face!

Christine May 08 2014 8:19 pm Does anyone know when the adult actors will be shown in this drama?

Ladyblue1961 May 06 2014 2:49 pm Hi!!! There will be 50 episodes for this drama.

Hi!!! May 06 2014 10:39 am Does anyone know how many eps are gonna be there?

c_u_t_e_13 May 05 2014 12:56 pm its been weeks now since it has not been seen this drama? i was wondering whta happened...coz all of the other dramas has been airing its normal time but this one suddenly disappeared???pls pls epi 9...

Ozmo Apr 30 2014 7:56 pm Korea is going through a tragic time at the moment because of the ferry disaster. I'm sure we can wait for ep 9. Let's think of the hardship the country is going through, and offer sympathy to the families who have suffered a personal loss.

BAOZIXIUMIN Apr 30 2014 4:50 pm @hiro it's not out because of the ferry incident, they need another week off since not all children are found I'm desperately waiting for episode 9

hiro Apr 30 2014 8:22 am Been wondering about Ep 9.... Does anyone have.any idea on why it's not coming out?

Jae Apr 29 2014 3:39 pm Well since the tragic ferry accident they didn't play any new episodes in Korea for like a week. I read it on drama fever.

Guest Apr 29 2014 1:05 pm Two weeks ago due to the ferry accident ep. 9 & 10 were preempted. Why last weekend also preempted. Did something happen to the drama or the casts?

holala Apr 28 2014 1:48 am why is episode 9 not coming out???? :(

Ranne Apr 25 2014 5:43 pm She is going to miscarry I just know it... :(

Ozmo Apr 21 2014 7:51 pm All the younger versions are adorable and so talented... their job is to draw viewers into the drama and keep them there... and these young actors do it easily. Lee Won-Geun is magnetic!

IceCreamSarang Apr 16 2014 8:03 am I'm so invested in the teen characters, I'm afraid I won't be able to get attached to their adult counterparts.

LillyNinh Apr 13 2014 12:23 am Just by looking @ the list of actors/actress. Ha Mi & that old bastard will have a kid together! Poor KYH..Dunno if JK will keep the child or have an abortion,miscarried, or put in adoption...Keeping fingers x . I hope nothing bad happened & that she kept the baby.. I have a feeling I'm going to hate JDH! She's annoying & acts like a slug bug. I wanna see more father figure in the vice principal & see him back off his younger brothers life. I smell the swindler is going to fall in love with CGS! Love the Korean victory cheer!!!!! Can't wait for the next episodes :)

rskdrama Apr 09 2014 5:52 pm I have a feeling vice principal's brother is actually his son, and not brother....

Lauren Apr 08 2014 6:07 pm I want to know the ost! What's the name of the song at the end of every episode!?!

miss_odun Apr 05 2014 10:21 am its my first time that starting to a long drama from beginning,generally i wait for the final and after watch, this is my exception. Actually i didn't expect that kind of romance it is so warm and good beside that, wow young actors and actress are so talented :D until september i have to wait every episode for every weekend, it'll be long but i think the young ones can play more episodes :D

dramaaddict123 Apr 03 2014 12:51 pm I really love this drama, but when i know it's 50 episodes, i got shocked and will re think again to watch this drama

Pirie Apr 02 2014 2:39 am Loved the beginning with the young couple, the young actors are soooo adorable... Then episode 4 concentrated on the cheating husband and the forlorned wife (typecasted actress). At 50 disappointing long episodes, looks like might have to fastforward most of the segments on the parents as the drama progresses. Otherwise this is so far an enjoyable drama with an unusual title.

Jackie Mar 30 2014 7:09 pm Jin-Yi ah! From Let's Eat

cvang010 Mar 26 2014 11:34 pm Lee Seo Yeon just got out of WGM and now Namgung Min is the new couple lol wat a coincidence huh

SBBBB Mar 26 2014 4:51 pm I liked the first 2 episodes but after I found out its 50 episodes???? Kinda hard to keep up with it.

ohho Mar 26 2014 9:27 am The first episode of this drama reminds me of Reply 1994 ~ Busan, the satoori,2002 worldcup..Now, I miss my NaJung and JaeJoon :p

Im not into 50 eps drama coz it is too long to follow but i feel like giving this drama a try after reading the synopsis...

Mjzzzzzzz Mar 26 2014 12:16 am I love this series so far! I kinda wish that the younger actors were the lead though. They are both so adorable;) Hopefully their roles are longer than 10 episodes lol...wishful I know.

Simone Mar 21 2014 2:03 pm @big, no that wasn't him that was Park Shi Hoo

Linda Feb 28 2014 1:41 am Hyoyoung!!! OMG, i must watch it i'm happy Hyoyoung will be on drama again :)
