Amie Nov 02 2022 10:27 am Too bad there are too many holes in this drama the director did not bring the best emoticons and too much space for the scenes that are not necessary ....

Kiran Oct 07 2020 9:32 am What was the ending can any one explain

JJJ Feb 19 2019 4:18 am I watched this drama when it was first run in USA. It was my first time watching a Korean drama as I do not speak Korean. I liked it well enough that I now seek out Korean dramas to watch. I am hooked. Thank God for subtitles.

abnormal anthony Feb 28 2017 12:23 am I have to admit that I have watched the show more than twice, but I still can't get over the ending. I'd give the writer props for trying to make the story original but there were far too many foreseen outcome for him to have chosen the worst out of the lot. Other than that I have to say, I was pretty shocked as to how good the show was. The character development was quite nice and they had it set up so that it was easy to remember the cast. Also, the music was quite enjoyable. There were points where I started crying even after watching that same part more than twice, over all it was splendid.

s May 27 2016 9:58 am For a daily kdrama, this is a decent one. Good enough to leave it on and do multi-task. There are few things that's very irritating, seen them in all kdrama but more noticeable in this drama - maybe because this has over 120 eps. 1) Don't people lock their doors anymore? People just walk right in - even at so call mansions. This is S. Korea where NOBODY leaves their house unlock. 2) Can Koreans live without the use of cellphone for 5 minutes? This drama really shows how prevalent the cellphones are in Korea - every 2 minutes someone's phone is ringing. 2.5) Do Smartphones still have way of ripping them apart to take out the battery very easily? Why can users simply turnoff the power if they don't want to answer a call? So dramatic - wait, it is a drama. 3) How much tea/coffee/juice do Koreans drink daily? It seems like every time a conversation needs to take a place, bang! There it is - tea/coffee/juice front of them. and finally, it seem like all secrets are spilled by someone overhearing them - why aren't people more aware of their surroundings? Are Koreans wearing shoes with very soft sole?

kinggofing Feb 27 2016 1:40 am Guys don't complain that the drama was too long and was just dragged out. If you know your korean dramas, you should know that this one was a daily (mon to fri) drama, basically it was there to fill up a time slot. Daily drama's for broadcasting stations doesn't really have to be at the same caliber as a twice per week drama, although i do agree that the show could have been written better.

Suraya Abadi Jun 15 2015 11:08 pm In the beginning it was nice, but the way it is going, I guess the writer running of ideas. Stupid character development, it is just a story yes, but should be a little realistic. I don't understand why developing a bad character for Goenuk. lukewarm Ms Lee should end up with strong determine Goenuk, not Mr.Kim as he is already strong, should stay with fragile mind Ji Young following her father generosity catering for abandoned children and just watching ep 84, I cannot stand it anymore, it is not what I want. Spoiling Mr. Kim character. The children are all very good. Mr. Baek and the family is more realistic., so is the bro in wheel chair. And if this end with Mr. Kim & Ms. Lee, it must been the silliest and stupid drama that I am watching. What a disappointment. Then too much of the cruelmother soap opera, it should be revolve more on Mr. Kim & the kids and Mr. Baek family. If I am the one in power, I will never hire the writer again, ever for writing stupid story. If the ending is different from what is going on now, my thousand apologies. Will see just the last ep. 124. The in between before ending does not worth my time - developing love intrest between Mr.Kim & Ms. Lee is not realistic at all for me. Hahahahaha my 20 million won worth of opinion

Pilar Aug 17 2014 5:55 pm The ending could have been done a lot better since this was a drama of 124 episodes. Feel cheated

Suong Suong Aug 05 2014 9:54 pm Where is YOO YEON JI????

htike May 31 2014 3:47 am like almost all plots especially children

Julie Jun 04 2013 7:23 pm too bad Ji-yeong got "demoted" ...since she is a nurse hope they have her get together with Lee Ho kyung

Captain Obvious Jun 01 2013 2:03 pm I like this show and the kids are great, but whomever the "genius" was who hired on Choi Yung-joon ('Ji-young') and then demoted her character to second string needs to turn in their union card! :( Mr. Kim already had the perfect girl for him. The one who had loved him for years and is also pretty, kind and played by a fine actress. She appears very quickly in the opening credits, but has been 'persona non-grata' for the last thirty episodes...

Nadia May 23 2013 2:10 pm Kim Dong-Wan Oppa l0o0o00o0o00o0o0ove Ya! ^___________^

Emma Apr 27 2013 7:27 am Its cool, we luv it. Very touchin, buh short tho

jay Apr 25 2013 10:03 pm This drama is too long and writers just made up stories to prolong the series. It is becoming boring and needs to end the drama.

anonymous Apr 25 2013 6:22 pm i likee it very funnny the kids fighting is cool i like because suspensefull but funnhy

lobita Apr 24 2013 5:00 pm I love this drama thou at tyms i jst want to reach out in to the screen and shake some sence into some of the cast lyk ms.lee why cant she she how manipulative. Geonuk is?she always runs to give him a shoulder to cry on...silly gal..but still love her lots and her father..what can i say seems the mail " guide to parenthood" got lost on its way cause it clearly states ur offsprings are noy an extention of u( then again all parents never got thers).Mr.Kim is such a heartwarming story u jst got to love ko joo sung..the boy is just so funny.

Peacewon Apr 21 2013 3:57 am @drafan, Mr. Kim has no ex... nuff said.... It is a great comedy drama romance. It is nearing the grand finale!! I cannot wait to wrap up all the loose ends.

lara Apr 11 2013 4:25 pm @drafan this is why the genre is family its combination of comedy/drama/romance.. you talk bullsh*t.. yet you do not know that its always the no. 1 drama in its time slot.. stop blaming others, there must be something in your head or you must be some kind of mentally ill person that can't appreciate a good drama..

whiteangel Apr 10 2013 4:32 am Totally Hooked!

drafan Mar 28 2013 3:29 am A total waste of great actors! Why?? The introduction expressed a Comedy. This guy ringing the Doorbell, He checks out the girls pantie, A hot tempered P.E. teacher gets pissed off, Two airheads Fighting over a cup. Now it's getting to be like a Melo Drama, His Ex a gold digger shows up, All is Serious now, Oh who is his Mom. This so-called ???? Really Tanks!!!! Producers, Director, Sreenwriters/Scripwriters, Go find another job, Or Go Back to Entertainment 101!!!!!!!

Dan Mar 22 2013 11:14 pm Great show, wish I knew Korean so I don't have to read the subtitles. Oh well, what can I do?

Hanshal Mar 08 2013 2:03 pm I always catch an episode before leaving for college . . :D Just can't start the day without watching this show . . XD

Michelle Feb 14 2013 6:06 am I'm hooked! I always hurry home from work so that I won't miss an episode on KBS world.
