Comments

Lin Nov 02 2023 2:50 am I hate almost all the characters in this drama. It seems too much... As for acting, I really don't have a good impression of Yoon Da-Young and Kim Shi-Hoo... His expressions are too flat, and Kim Shi-Hoo can only act by frowning.

Leilei Sep 27 2023 6:07 am I discovered this drama during my vacations with KBS world, and I was completely hooked !! Great acting, great plot, and wish I was part of this family haha One of my best drama

HULAROCK Sep 26 2023 7:02 pm Wow unbelievable week , so intense and I actually saw other comments and well I thought it was touching and at times so sad. The story telling for the most of the time was great, acting was also outstanding how do you cry like that ? The villain, mother well I guess you got to have one otherwise its not a drama I just hope in real life one of the children is not overshadowed by another like this one. I don't think i could handle it if I was a child. However 10 years ? then having her daughter eat till she was sick for bone marrow? Well to wrap it up I looked forward to this daily drama and enjoyed it and wish for more.

OkkiDokki Sep 24 2023 3:00 am It appears all the relationship problems in this drama were caused by secrets and lies. This should be a lesson for all.

Kimmy Sep 18 2023 7:00 am The male lead is excessively coward, the dead wife is really a bully. Story should have ended when male and female leads got together and daughter accepted them. it already lost the charm of the story and title when it was extended to a nonsense, unconnected plot. This ruined my taste for korean dramas

Kristine Sep 17 2023 12:42 am Really not that hard to divorce someone you thought dead. Especially given the other relationship. She can be a bigomist? There was no attempt for the woman to undo the damage to the person who lost their job and reputation being adulterer. The abuse of the daughter trying to force feed her was too much. Too predictable the eventual donor would be. How can a woman kicked out be in the house so much? And the attempt of a forced abortion really made me mad. Watch some of the first and some of the end. It’s gosh awful. He was married when she was born. Presumed father unless another guy steps forward and proves it or he goes to court and proves he isn’t not wanting responsibility.

Mari Sep 15 2023 11:20 pm What I can’t understand is why Jandi’s dad is such a big coward. I know he is suppose to be a nice guy but goodness he does not defend his daughter or his girlfriend. He let’s the ex-wife walk all over them. He is portraying himself as a big coward. And how can the ex call the girlfriend an adulteress when that is what she is, she even remarried and had another child. Whoever wrote this drama watched too many b+ movies.

Diana Sep 15 2023 8:02 am As viewers we're thankful to be offered these dramas. But the plot of this one seems to be written with the sadistic intent to cause outrage, especially against women, as usual. The only good thing about it is that it's nearing its good ending. This one will be my very last thing from Korea.

The outrage is not about bad things happening or bad people: so are life and human nature. It's not about the excruciating slowness: so are long dramas. The outcry is about depicting a lawless society made of very weak and stupid gossipers, to no avail.

A lady carelessly abandons her kid for ten years, she appears dead, a funeral is held. Then she carelessly comes back from America (where all bad koreans seem to be dumped all the time) as an adulteress, with another kid. Yet she calls her abandoned husband's excessively naive fiancee an adulteress, bullies and abuses her plus her own daughter to no end, and nobody bats an eye? Nobody remembers what she did? Nobody is able to raise a finger? No restraining orders? Yet stupid others start bullying the fiancee as an adulteress as well?!?

The outcry here is about everybody looking more or less dumb and lacking any memory and common sense, making the viewer feel dumb and fooled for having chosen to watch this senseless thing.

William Sep 14 2023 8:25 am I really like this drama but there are times where it feels like a lot of things happen off screen so it gets confusing. While watching this drama, I think there were some similarities between this drama and Cheer Up Mr Kim which is another drama I enjoyed

Marilyn Sep 12 2023 3:56 pm I’m very disappointed that there are 2 more episodes and we are still dealing with the reappearance of the wife. She remarried in the states. What she did was illegal first of all. Then she comes back after 10 yrs Only to want the bone marrow of the child she abandoned. I really enjoyed this drama, but the writing are dragging this to the end making our lead actors break up. If they even get back together, it’s going to look stupid and fake. The writers will probably do a quick wedding. Still fake. Writers, you took the our best ending possible.

SosaHI Sep 09 2023 11:58 pm This is the best drama running right now. The episodes are short but the writers are weaving the story well.

Kfan Sep 09 2023 11:32 pm Just have to realize that if a problem arises in this episode it will not be resolved until the last 5 second of 50 episodes later. Why everyone want everything resolved so quickly just wait for 50 more episodes like a norml person.

Kristine Sep 09 2023 6:54 am These family dramas should be shorter. Her being married or not does not mean she isn’t her mother and can sign for the thing. I do not know why it’s so important to upheaval the man’s life. Adultery used to carry with it a civil penalty of fines and prison in addition to disadvantage in divorce settlement. If she brings up the other child to strangers it could shame the daughter. People will assume the child will also be that sort of person. It is ridiculous the hiding the woman has a younger child. I don’t know why the mom kept it secret. If she really wants him back she will see there is a sibling. Once the man found she had a child the divorce would be a done deal. Why leaving for 10 years would not be enough is only in the writers mind, can’t help wonder if some of these writer director slots are filled due to connections. If the drama was not 120 episodes and only 100 maybe the writer would not have to suspend all logic.

sf Sep 09 2023 2:03 am Suddenly, all the characters who come in contact with JD's mother are shrouded in a thick layer of fog, including the meddlesome Choi Soo-Ji. SJ dares to name MR adulterous, but no one asks SJ then what is she, who left her husband and daughter, married again and had another daughter, and came back only because she was forced by circumstance, adulterous, bigamist, opportunist, villain, liar? I was expecting from Choi Soo-Ji another reaction in front of SJ's impertinence. From KS I do not have any expectations anymore. If it were not for the actor who plays KS's character, I would abandone this drama long ago. This drama is full of frustration.

ORNELLA ACCASTO Sep 08 2023 12:18 pm I have been watching this drama since the beginning and, yes, it is stressful sometimes. Kang San is a walking green flag, his problem, however is the lack of "reaction". He should have rebelled long ago. The actor, though, not only is a very good one, he is extremely handsome. I think many people are watching the drama because of him, either young viewers or older ladies like me. (Lol)

Kristine Sep 08 2023 11:06 am I really can’t stand this drama. Watched some of the beginning and hated it. Watched some of the last one and hate it more.

bobbiejean101 Sep 07 2023 12:19 pm i am sad to see the story is ending. I love the Kang San and Mi Rae. Kang San is a caring and loving man. i feel he is trying his best to care for his love and his child. understand his daughter does not see the wrong in her birth mother. i wish the story could last like our soap opera here. there is a story for eveyone of the cast members. would love to see how Kyu Sun deal with her pregnancy. also Ye Ju and Ju Hyuk love life goes.

Jokesman Sep 07 2023 12:40 am It's funny how you are all forgetting Joo Hyuk also has a child with another women which Ye joo doesnt know about

nnana Sep 06 2023 2:32 pm gangsan and the family reactions are so fake and unrealistic. She cheated on him twice and had two babies with two different men.... and they're like whatever. real people would go insane ballistic LMAO

T Lyn Sep 06 2023 9:33 am How long are the writers going to drag out this plot with SJ now KS will be tested to see if he's a match how pathetic his character is he will feel really foolish when the truth is revealed, at this point I hope him and Mi-Rae do not end up together she deserves so much better than what KS has to offer. He's a coward!!

Pura Sep 06 2023 8:06 am Now I get it... Daughter JanDi got her attitude from her mother... Anyway the kdrama is ending soon. I'm wondering how they will deodorize the evil, weak and pathetic characters in this drama.

N Sep 06 2023 6:55 am Yes, an illogical pathetic drama from when Jandi's mother turned up! Why can't the scriptwriter include Gangsan to just say to Jandi's mom that she ran away with another man to the US? Really illogical & made the hero Gangsan seemed really stupid. Already tired of watching all the unnecessary stretched episodes!... Yawn.

Brandon Sep 04 2023 10:00 am Kang San will finally be free of this evil woman. The only thing I hate is the lazy characters writing for this drama. Kang San is literally the the same person from the first episode but in a different situation. I don’t know why he put up with that toxic family (mother in law especially) for so long, even if it was for Jan Di he could have done things differently to have them a part of her life. He is still spineless but gets perceived as being kind and good natured. He should have accepted the chairman’s offer and build a himself up to be a man worthy for Mi Rae as he always alludes to. Jan Di is still the same kid with a bratty behavior, mother in law is a selfish old hag. I only like Sang Soo and Ye Ju in the drama. And appreciate Ju hyuks little character development.

Brandon Sep 04 2023 9:51 am We all know what’s going on. Hopefully things finally get resolved with the next turn of events (literally a few eps left). I’m not a big supporter of the Kang San and Mi Rae ship but we can all agree that San Ju presence is awful. I hope Jan Di and the family leave her and reject the operation. I can’t wait to see how this blows up on the mother’s face, she literally vouched for her selfish daughter all the way, even falling for the bs lies.

MR Sep 04 2023 8:25 am So the wife was unfaithful and lied to the Family. She only cared about herself from the beginning to end. Her mother is going to get egg on her face for defending her and the other daughter was right about her sister. She needed Kang back so she can get the approval for the operation, if he was married then that would interfere with her plans. His dad was right about her, since she had a daughter with someone else. She committed a crime of adultery, another child, fabricating evidence to deceive; if she gets busted Kang So will be taken care of Jan Di sister. I wonder if there is more about the money she is getting in the states. Another thing she said Jan Di was not his, so that tells us she is unfaithful to Kang So and used him for her selfishness

Susan Hurley Sep 02 2023 12:37 pm I love these dramas but get so annoyed when they go to previews or storyline, I would love to watch them all, thank you

sf Sep 01 2023 8:54 am I am sure that Jan-Di will soon have a big surprise materialised in a little sister or brother to whom she will give her medical support. Her mother's return to Korea was determined only by interest.

NoName Sep 01 2023 7:50 am Starting from ep 100 until now,...I can say that all the characters in this drama become dumb. The writer trying to make more dramatic and nonsense for the last couple of episodes but failed to maintain their character's development, all the character's progression so far has been ignored. Sometimes being too nice without stern and principle equally dumb to say.

Av Aug 31 2023 11:01 pm This is such a pathetic drama. Literally every single character is pathetic and spineless. GS is the most spineless - cannot stand up to anyone whether its his nasty mother in law, bratty daughter or evil ex wife. I thought a good character arc would have been to join the company and make something of himself with his talent but he keeps refusing. This itself should have been a red flag to not get Mi rae married to a man who cant stand on his own feet and remains tied to being a servant of her family and tied to his ex wife's family. and hes praised for being selfless. omg.

The previous drama 'Love in your eyes' was really nice. this was such a disappointment .

MR Aug 31 2023 1:32 pm Why do they wait until the last 2 episodes; it would be more interesting the ex trying to sabotage after they are married. If my ex took my daughters blood without telling me, that is a red flag. Also I would questioned her morality, she wasn’t a Nun and she did follow someone to the USA. The mother-in-law needs to B-Slap, believing everything she says and she will not call the older sister. KS should go to the hospital and to see why the blood was drawn and he will find out why she is trying to ruin his life for her selfish reason, like when she abandoned KS and Jan Di.

T Lyn Aug 31 2023 12:22 pm With only 11 episodes left, the ending for the ML/FL will be rushed. Also how is it that KS didn't have any character development and we are at episode 110, the writers must have given up on his character. He's still jumping through hoops to please his mean/nasty in-laws and pathetic ex-wife!! Jan-Di how quickly she forgot that her mother abandoned her for 10 years and is only back because she needs her for health reasons...Mi-Rae deserves better than KS who stutters/stumbles on his words can't/won't stick up for their love!! Mi-Rae was ready to leave her entire adoptive family for their love, I hope the writers keep KS with his miserable ex-wife and in-laws do a time skip and when KS finally realizes he's been duped come crawling back to Mi-Rae and she happily married with a child!!

Jack Aug 31 2023 6:52 am Now, 15 episodes before the end of this pathetic long drama, what do directors at KBS think they are gaining, by spiking the usual dull stereotypes and misoginy to the maximum? An evil, shameless rich woman with her filty, hypocrite mother; a completely spineless man supported by his useless, good-for-nothing father. It has got seriously annoying to watch, such congregation of weak, spineless, miserable human beings, crying and apologizing, completely unable to live and stand for themselves. If Koreans were such useless people, SK would not have got where it got. KBS is a disgraceful shame for its entire country by broadcasting worldwide such a pathetic depiction of its own country and people, all the time, one long drama after the other. They should be stopped from doing so. If I continued to watch this (which, by the way, I know it will stupidly again end well), I would end up to deeply despise Koreans and boycott each and every product coming from SK. Such an utterly and annoyingly frustrating waste of time.

Brandon Aug 30 2023 11:16 am Sun Ju really is a horrible person. She’s manipulating her daughter and deceiving her family in order to get what she wants. Now it turns out she’s needs a donor. It means she was living well off in the US but found out she was sick. since finding a donor takes long, she shamelessly goes back to Korea in order to get a family member to be a donor. That’s the only reason she came back. Also when Jan Di asked if Kang San is going to abandon them I literally laughed (angrily), did she not forget that her mom left her for a decade. Jan Di is awful, idc if she’s a kid, she’s old enough to kinda grasp the situation.

sf Aug 30 2023 12:48 am This drama is so frustrating that even the translator abandoned it.

Mag Aug 29 2023 5:50 pm @TDS...one of the worst actually

TDS Aug 29 2023 5:45 pm Let's be honest this is not the greatest Drama....on Korea T.V.?

    120 esp really.

Maggie Aug 26 2023 12:53 pm I hate it when they make a male lead to be this nice.. There is nobody this nice in the real world... People walk all over him but he still apologizes.. Hes frustrating to watch....the female lead is also very frustrating.. How can both the leads have the same frustrating character

January Aug 24 2023 9:38 pm I hope Kang San can be happy God knows he deserve to be happy and thriving. This lady comes back and wants to be demanding. I am with Kang san dad and his brother in law. He should have been honest with Mi Rae knowing what she dealt with.

Jokesman Aug 24 2023 8:51 pm Ye Joo deserves better. Hope people don't forget that Joo Hyuk abandoned his child from his cheating. This cannot be forgiven.

Brandon Aug 24 2023 8:48 am Bro now this is giving me the ick. She really comes back and now wants to get what’s hers. How shameless, she left for a decade and now wants to be a mother. I like how Ye Ju reacts and gets on her and the mom. It’s worst knowing that she only came back to Korea for a business trip. I hope Kang San gets to keep Jan Di because she may try to get custody ( don’t know how Korean law works) by using the fact that he’s not the biological father.

nahnah Aug 23 2023 2:03 pm Lol so silly. so if She ran away to the US... then the Korean govt would have a record of her leaving the country. So it would be easy for the family to know her location. Gangsan wouldn't be on the streets for years handing out flyers trying to find her. Lmao

Kathryn Aug 23 2023 4:19 am Is son ju the real wife/mother? Could she be the lady who was in the hospital in one of the earlier episode where jandi thought was her mother ? Hope so. Don’t the the main characters break up

airpizz6 Aug 22 2023 10:21 am Son Ju and Ye Ju are sisters and very attractive. However, they couldn’t look more different. Not very good casting.

seung-ri Aug 18 2023 12:33 am cannot let a day pass without watching this. Ep 100 is a big turning point. To think that 20 more episode left breaks my heart.

liemak Aug 11 2023 2:57 am Love these two supporting characters more than the female lead, Lee Ye-Joo is so spunky, and Dong Kyu Sun is truly a "modest and unpretentious" lady. Hope "Apple of My Eye" will give both these women a happy ending.

Airpizz6 Aug 09 2023 7:59 pm Joo Hyuk now seems a lot more likeable. Hope the relationship with Ye Ju progresses so we can see more of her. Jan Di is in deep kimchi when caught with the ‘stolen’ lipstick. When will Joon Pyo come forward to save her?

Sachu Aug 09 2023 4:07 pm @arnob, kangsan married sunju (jandi's mother)when she is pregnant

Arnob Aug 08 2023 3:06 am Can someone tell me the story behind Gangsan not being the biological father of Jandi? I missed some earlier episodes so someone tell me please!

Susan Gervasi Jul 28 2023 12:24 pm Where are episode 87 and 88?

Quantum Nurse Jul 25 2023 9:45 am @Mina, I wonder if Kang San were the son of the Chairman's missing daughter, Kang San would be "first cousin" with Mi Rae, and Geum Sun Dal really impregnated" and "abandoned" the Chairman's missing daughter and their son, Kang San. It will be interesting to see how Kang Sang and Mi Rae' love life is affected since they are "first cousins" and also Jan Di interest in Ok Joon-Pyo" would affect Kang San's love life since Kang San always put the other people "want" above his own need. I like this make to believe "complicated" story. My two cents.

TDS Jul 20 2023 2:29 pm This is a long drama and slow, slow, and slow.

  Get to the point both father and son: Dong Joo-Hyuk/Dong Kyu-Cheol are cheaters and losers.

   Kim Doo-Ho take your daughter and find a better husband!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mina Jul 17 2023 12:59 am Does anyone else think Kang San might be the son of the Chairman's missing daughter?

Vanessa Jul 12 2023 12:54 pm I hate when the program is a day behind. Today's episode was actually yesterdays. I'm glad the Mi'rea's is beginning to realized that her fiancee is no good. Gang -San true feelings is coming out.

sf Jul 06 2023 8:05 am Usually, in dramas, you are annoyed by the negative character but here, on the contrary, I feel annoyed by the positive one. I cannot stand with Gang-San's stupidity anymore. This part of the plot is absurd and it makes your blood boil.

Angela Cross Jun 30 2023 8:30 am Has anyone noticed Jan Di And Jun Pyo

Imitation of Boys over flowers

Airpizz6 Jun 29 2023 2:40 pm Love this show. Waiting for a knock down fight between Kang San and Joo Hyuk. Love screaming at Sun Dal and Soo Ji, two of the most repulsive characters I’ve ever seen. And two thumbs up for Ye Joo. She is just sooo cute.

Mari Jun 28 2023 11:10 pm I can’t believe some of the comments about this drama, Kim Si-Eun is following the script and doing a great job. These dramas are not real and for entertainment purposes only. I enjoy this one because it makes me laugh and they always end up with a happy ending. Just enjoy and stop complaining.

Yun Jun 28 2023 9:08 pm Where is today's episode? The day is almost over! Aigooooo!!!!!

K Jun 28 2023 8:15 pm The little girl is to spoiled but I've watched so many Kdramas that I do not believe most Korean children act this way I have tried now up to 67 episodes but I can't watch anymore..my rating would be a 2. I hope the next show that takes this one's place is better

Kdee Jun 28 2023 4:48 pm Quantum Nurse, I agree with your plot alternative! I was also thinking of those pairings, except for the one regarding the baker duo. I thought Ok Mi Rae's biological father should somehow be paired up with her adoptive mother, the chaebol daughter! Can't wait for this drama to progress! Why isn't today's out yet?

Mike Jun 28 2023 2:06 pm The apple of my eye is Mi Rae, it’s not Jan Di. I read something before the series started and I thought it was about his daughter, until I read the article.

sf Jun 28 2023 5:27 am In the eye of her father, Jandi is an apple, in the eye of the viewers she is a thorn. Stop making her the centre of the universe and her father such a humble man.

Quantum Nurse Jun 27 2023 9:33 am Love character Jang Ho-Sik that speaks his mind when Jan Di ruins the Academy of the Arts' reputation. Gang San has to be firm and reprimand Jan Di , his "adopted" daughter, even though Mi Rae is trying say positive things about Jan Di.

Quantum Nurse Jun 27 2023 9:25 am I cannot believe Jan Di is so spoilt, what is wrong with this indulgent family and giving free reign to Jan Di to run her "adopted" father's life? She would grow up to be a selfish woman unless the script writer miraculously turns her into an angel when she grows up. My two cents.

Alma Jun 27 2023 6:55 am The drama is show casing how poor Koreans raise their children. The elders permits the kids to manipulate them and let them have the upper hand. What kind of up bringing does korean kids have?

Hari Jun 20 2023 7:07 am Why there are so many annoying characters in this drama? Jandi for sure the most annoying one, follow by Soo Ji. I think the 2 of them can become mother and daughter!!

JokerSmith Jun 13 2023 3:42 am imagine your daughter telling you who you can and can't marry. Also waiting for your girlfriend who left you 11 years to have fun with other guys. What is the director smoking. At this rate it will be ep 100 before main couple get together.

Quantum Nurse Jun 12 2023 6:43 am I am a true believer in the motto “Behind every successful man, there is a strong woman.” If I were a scriptwriter, I would unite Geum Gang-San with his sister-in-law Lee Ye-Joo (they have a good onscreen chemistry) and their side dish store would become so well known. I also would pair-up Hwang Chan-Ran to Geum Sun-Dal, and Sun-Dal become a successful dance teacher that owns a reputable dance studio. Lastly, I would unite Dong Kyu-Sun with her baker Kim Doo-Ho, and own a reputable neighborhood bakery shop and eventually a franchisor couple. They look good together and have better on-screen chemistry than their "intended" (meant to be) onscreen persons. My two cents.

Quantum Nurse Jun 12 2023 6:01 am If I were the scriptwriter, I would introduce Hwang Chan-Ran to Geum Sun-Dal. I understand Sun-Dal is unemployed but he likes to teach dancing. It is his positive quality. Chan-Ran is a kind hearted person and only takes care of her family, i.e. her father and son & family. She deserves some fun; she could enjoy dancing and have some fun activities that stimulate her mind and body. Maybe, just maybe, if they are together, she could give financial help and open a dancing studio for Sun-Dal. By teaching dancing, Sun-Dal will not feel like a loser but a winner, earns some income and be a proud father and grandfather. I throw my two cents in. I do not see there is a good onscreen chemistry between Geum Gang-San and Ok Mi Rae, sorry for saying it.

liemak Jun 10 2023 7:24 am I just hope Choi Soo-Ji would learn three principles of etiquette: Respect, Consideration, and Honesty. She is one nosey person. I feel sorry for her husband, son and mother-in-law. I am glad her husband, Ok Jae-Hyun, and her son, Ok Joon-Pyo, have some DNAs from their kind hearted mother and grandmother,

liemak Jun 10 2023 7:04 am I just hope Choi Soo-Ji would learn the three principles of etiquette (consideration, respect, and honesty) from her kind hearted mother-in-law, Hwang Chan-Ran. I feel sorry for her husband, Ok Jae-Hyun, son, Ok Joon-Pyo and mother-in-law, Chan Ran. At least Jae-Hyun and Joon-Pyo have their mother/grandmother's kindhearted attitude and upbringing.

Quantum Nurse Jun 10 2023 4:21 am Oh, my gosh, I cannot believe watching character Geum Gang-San holding a kitchen knife pointing at the Chairman Hwang Man-Seok in episode 55. Character Gang-San is "an experienced cook and care taker" in "Apple of my Eye", he should be holding a kitchen knife in a safe manner. The actor, Mr. Seo Jun-Young, should at least let the director and scriptwriters know that he would look "stupid" to be holding a cutting knife pointing at the Chairman. My two cents.

sf Jun 10 2023 12:01 am Who is the lady of the house, Mi-Rae's mother or Choi Soo-Ji? On

Choi Soo-Ji's face is written "full of stupidity combined with evilness", and I hope she will soon get a punch in her face. I can bear the evil in a drama but not stupidity.

Haru Jun 09 2023 9:50 pm Can they just remove Kang San's Father? He's so annoying honestly. Everytime he's on screen I want to punch his face. Same with his brother in law. Thay both irritating.

Quantum Nurse Jun 09 2023 5:37 am Love character Dong Kyu-Sun with her bright smile, when she smiles, her whole face lights up. Hope Kim Doo-Ho, the baker, would pay attention to her and starts to fall in love. They have good on-screen chemistry. They are the best promising "couple" so far.

linlin Jun 08 2023 8:06 pm can u make kang san father behave he is trouble...not human.he didnt n act like jerk.ur u cut the tie by making him bad guy who steal kang san.otherwise he is not raising kang san.hid grandma did.so he is not in depth with him.

Brenda Jun 07 2023 10:57 am The drama Apple of my eye is already on it's 53rd episode but I haven't seen Kang Eun-Tak appeared yet. This drama is included in his list of drama series. Will he really join the drama? If hope so. I see that this drama has 120 episodes so I hope he will appear soon.

Quantum Nurse Jun 03 2023 6:30 am It is so painful to watch Geum Jan-Di's bad attitude. She is so spoiled. I feel sorry for Lee Ye-Joo, the family makes a big deal when she spent money to make herself presentable at the interview (they seem to forget that Grandma Ma Hong-Do lost $10,000 for Jan-Di's "K-pop idol recruitment audition"). I hope Geum Gang-San could be attracted to Lee Ye-Joo instead of waiting for his "wife". The on-screen chemistry between Ye-Joo and Gang-San look better than Mi Rae and Gang-San, my two cents.

sf May 31 2023 4:03 am After 45 episodes, nothing notable has happened. All the scenes are moving among the patisserie, Grandma's little shop and the art academy. It becomes tedious. Sorry for the actor Seo Jun-Young who chose to play in this drama. He has less than 10% viewing time.

Kdrama Fan May 29 2023 10:00 pm I really like the feel of this KDrama - it's light and fun to watch. But the story is taking too long to develop. When is the story of the male leads going to start? Mi Rae and Gang San? Come on! It's almost 50 episodes and we're still at the part where Mi Rae is being deceived by Joo Hyuk. Joo Hyuk is a pain in the a**. And there's still no trail of the missing Mom/Wife as well as Cha Ran's Missing daughter. And Sang-Soo, the brother in law, is too painful to watch. He's a piss off!

Gail May 29 2023 6:52 am Jandi wasn't raise right. She is a brat and the family are not doing anything about it. She is a bad example to other teenage kids watching the show.

Mari May 26 2023 10:37 pm I wish Ma Hong Do would stop talking and chewing g with her mouth open, it grosses me out.

Barbieofborg May 24 2023 4:32 pm I'm gonna say the missing mom is the side chick. Wait til the mother-in-law finds her daughter has been alive in Korea for more than a minute.

thet May 22 2023 11:46 am I sometimes wonder why I am watching kbs world's drama? they have become boringgggggg, you can predict the ending on the very first episode!!!!

Quantum Nurse May 18 2023 3:19 pm I really want my favorite character, Eomma Hwang Chan-Ran, to meet and eventually date (or engage?) the flamboyant character, Abeoji Geum Sun-Dal. I think they have a good on-screen chemistry. Eomma Chan-Ran needs someone that loves her and could loosen her up, so that she can be more relaxed and enjoys her life. President Dong Kyu-Cheol is so stiff and Eomma Chan-Ran is not really inclined to spend the rest of her life with Kyu-Cheol "Oppa", no? I also hope character Geum Gang-San could be more manly, assertive, and satisfies his needs instead of his daughter Geum Jan-Di's needs. I throw my two cents in.

sf May 11 2023 11:43 pm Does Gang-San want to ruin his life for his so-called daughter? What he thinks he is, a priest, a monk? His attitude towards his life is unhealthy and a bad example for the viewers. I expect to happen a change in the flow of the plot because the story has become boring. I understand the concept "to sacrifice" for someone or something, but not for somebody egoist who had run away from home and didn't show any sign of life for ten years.

Ben May 04 2023 11:34 am Is it really common in Korea that the son-in-law lives with the family of his wife even she is not there? the 2 sons-in-law are now living in one house and it is just obvious that the mother-in-law favors one over the other. Is it true that Jan-Di is not Gang-San's daughter? And yet they treat him like that after raising the child that is not his? Will Jan-Di's mom come back?

kdrama hunter May 02 2023 10:19 pm Just finished re-watching old kdrama "cheer up, mr kim!" and saw this new drama and thought probably gonna give it a try, since there seemed to be some similarity. but unfortunately getting tired after just a few episode. maybe revisit it someday towards the end.

oh my goodness Apr 19 2023 5:35 am this is 120 episodes not 15 you have a long way hahahahahaha

Mari Apr 17 2023 10:27 pm This drama is ok, but so happy it’s only 15 episodes. Can’t handle Choi Soo Ji character, so childish for a mother the way she acts. She totally ruined the the drama for me. Sure hope a better drama is next. A woman in a veil is even worse I can’t believe KBS ran that one, poorly written and acting even worse. Won’t watch it any longer.

Quantum Nurse Apr 13 2023 11:15 am "Apple of my Eye" leading male character 아빠 (appa) Geum Gang-San is a bit too young for a teenager's dad, but the actor Seo Jun-Young has a friendly facial expression that is pleasant with warmth and feel right at home.

Hashi Apr 12 2023 9:28 pm Apple of my eye...more a like pain in the @ss!

Malcolm Apr 12 2023 7:03 pm Seriously Geum Jan-Di??? so when do the F4 turn up....

Alissa Apr 11 2023 7:12 am Geum Jan Di’s character is a brat and so annoying. How come there are so many negative characters in this drama? Geum jandi, Her grandmother, the honorary chairman , their characters are all so abhorrent which make me dislike this kdrama.

Angie Apr 08 2023 4:42 am I see in Kang Eun-Tak's asianwiki that he is a part of this drama but his name is not on the cast list. His name in the drama is Geum Jung-San. Will he play as brother of Guem Gang-San? I hope he will join the series.

Cherryluv Apr 06 2023 7:45 am Geum Jan di character so annoying . Her voice is too loud. And for Long drama like this, I just pass it. The only reason I still watch until now because of voice of seo jun young..

AJ Mar 27 2023 8:31 pm @s: It fills the family-oriented daily drama timeslot in KBS1, so 120 episodes is common norm.

@anonymous: In KBS World's website, it is stated that this drama is about a single father who raised his daughter alone after his wife left home, and a woman who was adopted when she was young.

Skylove Mar 26 2023 11:18 pm I thought Bae. DA Bin is part of this show why I can't see her name here.. I'm excited for this because of her

Anonymous Mar 24 2023 5:38 am Anyone knows the plot synopsis?

s Mar 22 2023 9:10 am interesting. but 120 ep? cmonnnn
