Fiona May 15 2022 7:53 pm Tuning in to support Yoon Shi Yoon (2D1N!!!!!) and Min Suk (My ugly duckling!)

Kristian Lee May 14 2022 9:50 pm I really want to watch the show but the lead actress bugs me so much. She's a terrible actress! All she does is smile. Watch every scene even on the phone. She makes it a point to show off her teeth. So annoying! No layers to her character. I'm tired of seeing her teeth. One of the worst Korean actresses ever!

It's beautiful story.. I hope I can watch the 13th episode.. May 10 2022 5:04 am It's beautiful now story/drama amazed me lot hope it would have a second story tells what are they encounter when their got married and have their children, how they solve problem encountered in their married life and what their parents and grandparents..i love this drama series.. Love love

Drama dream May 10 2022 12:39 am Normally I don't watch this much long dramas. However I ended up watching this drama because, I love Oh Min suk, Bae Da bin and Shin Dong mi soooooo much. My favourite couple is Yoon jae and Hae joon. I love them sooooooooooo much.

Already it looks like there will be a love triangle for youngest couple Soo jae and Yoo na with Jung hu (Mi rae's brother/dongsaeng). I just feel so. Of course the drama is 50 eps long.. so I think all 3 main couples will go through various kinds of hardships/obstacles..

ABC May 08 2022 5:15 am My favorites go by their ages in this drama, YoonJae - HaeJoon couple the most. YoonJae is so dense, it's so cute. HyunJae second. And SooJae last.

I just don't like that SooJae is so inconsiderate to deceive his parents' saving for such a reckless investment.and he feels he's entitled.

And you who may not like Mirae, it's your preference. But to prefer that psycho manipulative cheating ex Young Eun, I don't get. Maybe it comes with age. Complicated women may seem interesting for young people, but kindness goes so far in real life.

Kdrama fanatic May 02 2022 8:09 am The other one who dont like Bae Da Bin well i respect your opinion.. i never knew her until i try to watch this one because of yoon Shi yoon..maybe because of her sweet character here she got my attention and i became a fan of her..i ended up watching her prev drama..she is so beautiful and her role here is so adorable kind of daughter..a typical owner of that business that u really want to visit anytime because she is accomadating..she is the sole reason why ep 50 episode this time is so short for me..

natapori May 02 2022 2:13 am Yeah,It rised to 25% again.I like Most Hyung Jae and Mirae couple but still like other couple too 555.I expected this couple must try to pass obstacle more than other couple>>Both relation between Real blood problem and Love Triangle of ExGirlfriend and New Girlfriend.Even Hyung Jae trying to avoid Mirae because he want to return with ExGirlfriend but he will accepted Mirae's feeling sure.

Shawn May 02 2022 12:02 am To Kdrama fan... why don't you like Mi Rae?! How could anyone not like her?! She's so adorable and sweet! Young Eun has hurt Hyun Jae in the past and will do so again. She seems very selfish and sly. I don't trust her intentions when it comes to Hyun Jae. It feels like he's her rebound after the mess with her husband. I suspect she cheated on Hyun Jae in the past. Mi Rae is a much better option for Hyun Jae.

Kdrama fan May 01 2022 9:35 am I like the story of the 2 brother, yoonjae and soo jae.. I dont like hyunjae and mirae's love story because i hate mirae's character.. i want him and young-eun.. hope there will be a twist tho young eun is not a main character.

Kdrama fanatic Apr 28 2022 7:01 am Im not a fan of 50 episode drama but this one is exception because of my love Bae Da Bin..

kl_wesli Apr 27 2022 1:29 am I think mirae's mom is the list daughter of the grandfather. If that's happen there will be a big conflict about the relationship of mirae and hyun jae. It's just a relief that the father of hyun jae is adopted.

Vee Apr 26 2022 6:33 am Enjoying it so far. I hope this turns out to be light and heartwarming. And not to have educated but gullible characters and toxic family members just to give the story the ugly twists

Kdrama lover Apr 25 2022 7:34 am I really love this drama. I keep getting this feeling that mirae's mom is the daughter that the Grandpa is looking for. Ah, so hard to wait for the next episode ?

Brenda Apr 24 2022 5:31 pm Love all the characters especially the brothers. Looking forward to seeing how they eventually find the one. Humor & enjoying back stories.

Mike Apr 24 2022 10:50 am I'm enjoying so far, it's been fun (5 episodes), love the 3 female leads: Haejoon is funny, Mirae is innocent and sweet, and Yoona is cute. The 3 male leads are good as well. The drum scene was hilarious. I just hope this doesn't turn dark, like the nastiness and evil characters often seen in kdramas.

Kess Apr 24 2022 9:05 am I agree with Maggie ,50 episodes...omg

Natapori Apr 24 2022 7:26 am I think part drama must make me cry a lot.And I’m sure to cry a lot with Hyunjae and Mirae.Yoon shi yoon must show excellent drama scene again.I can’t wait anymore

dee Apr 24 2022 2:56 am I usually don't watch dramas like this one but it's quiet refreshing to watch this because the plot is realistic and there's no over exaggerated scenes and characters. I'm enojying it so far :)

Maggie Apr 21 2022 1:13 am Im just curious to see how they are gonna get to 50 episodes.. Im enjoying it so far but i dont see how the storyline will make it to 50 episodes.

Me Apr 19 2022 4:21 pm While I'm glad that YSY is in this, I do hope that he will still be in "Drink Now, Work Later" Season 2.

Kdrama fanatic Apr 19 2022 8:47 am I love this one. Very light and fun drama..I love Bae Da bin here..i became her fan because of this drama..wish her more lead role in the future

LZW Apr 16 2022 8:57 pm Agree with @Van

xfer Apr 16 2022 1:28 pm probably a love triangle between Soo-Jae, Yoo-Na, and Jung-Hu. i kept wondering why Jung-Hu why getting air time.

Rey Apr 16 2022 7:56 am well, i think it will turn out that mirae's mom was the lost daughter of the grandfather. and then, mirae & hyun jae will inherit his land, while his older brother get the apartment and the youngest will get the inheritance from the father's biological parents.

iwanza Apr 14 2022 11:57 pm I already love this drama .... I love the youngest couple and yoon shi yoon character hehehe...

AB25 Apr 12 2022 12:26 am From eps4 and eps5 preview, its make sense that Mi Rae's mother (Soo Jung) is Lee Kyung Chul lost daughter (Eun Jung).

Lilsam Apr 11 2022 1:20 am Seriously 50 episodes its way too long am not that jobless

Lolju Apr 08 2022 8:30 am @potatochip hm no, Hyun Mi Rae is not meant to be a strong woman. She's supposed to be a little naive, soft and gentle and develops a strong resolve to fend for herself due to the lies of her "husband". It's only been 2 episodes but we see how even though her parents want to protect her, she's not simply agreeing with whatever they say, but making her own judgments because she can see that it will be tricky to deal with the "mother-in-law", "husband" and his ex. So I don't think there will be a problem with people relating to her, since we all have to step out of our comfort zones to face real world situations, and we grow through these :)

DJ25 Apr 06 2022 5:32 am Great drama, choi ye bin is so beautiful

Rj Apr 05 2022 6:04 am Broooo ysy and shin dong mi got a great chemistry. I love how their character interact (you can feel thath there's no awkwardness on their scenes) as sibling even tho they're not. Im looking forward for more

Potatochip Apr 04 2022 11:08 pm Is it just me, but for me, Hyun Mi-Rae as the Female Lead. Is strong woman. But the way i see, she seems to be a bit mommy's girl. I don't see as something as flaw or wrong with her. Im just curious if people can relate to her character in real life world?

Reee Apr 04 2022 9:07 am Looks promising to me,, the plot is quite interesting,, the acting is also great, looking forward to this drama,,

Cricket Lee Apr 04 2022 4:16 am The make up artist for this show needs to better match the casts’ skin tones - foundation way too light for actors.

Keb Apr 04 2022 1:40 am The first 2 episodes are really awesome, nice plot ,great acting... eager to wait for next episodes...this drama seems lots to offer in coming episodes with twist n plots ....

littlepinky Apr 03 2022 11:51 pm how many episodes will this take ?i like the main lead men(dentist and doctor) , the mom and the grampa(Navillera) i'm familiar with. It does not matter how many episodes.

Amy Apr 03 2022 3:03 am I hope it will be good, I don't want a repeat of Young lady and a gentleman Amnesia fiasco.

Hana Apr 02 2022 1:13 pm Wow! It’s Beautiful Now next after series

young lady and gentleman drama series

Yoon Si Yoon New Drama Series ^^

I’ m waiting for the next episode.

Van Apr 01 2022 11:36 am @liv You should watch young lady and gentlemen Very good production with a mixture of both young and old cast.Including 3 lovely children who displayed excellent acting ...for their age. @lzw Loved watching Young lady,highly recommended drama,I too think that the recent dramas produced by KBS cannot be compared with Young lady.Stellar cast indeed...

Senses Apr 01 2022 1:02 am @kris they might get a student loan..we never know until we watch it.you know in Korea they can get that ..

Kris Mar 28 2022 8:22 am If they are a lawyer and dentist can’t they afford their own apartment? Why make rich people look like they need to live off parents and grandparents?

LZW Mar 28 2022 4:43 am Looks like story is not attractive even though the casts are good actors. Most probably lower ratings than Young Lady and Gentlemen

Mia Mar 28 2022 1:54 am Yoon shi yoon so totally handsome with that hairstyle omg!!

Livv Mar 25 2022 11:16 am Hopefully can be as par as Once Again. I didn't watch any weekend drama after Once Again.

Makne-chan Mar 24 2022 3:06 pm Father and brothers are so cute lol

iwanz Mar 20 2022 12:02 pm The new first Poster is seems fun. I really hope this will be fun and warmth family drama like 'five enough' since it was so funny back then in 2016. Ah, Choi ye bin is here as main actress in new poster, rise to the top girl

Nana Mar 17 2022 11:26 pm Seems interesting.. Love this kind of family drama

Family's fam Mar 13 2022 7:36 am Been waiting for this.since I stop watch weekend dramas gentleman and young lady. Super excited for this..please come soon. Why did they extend gentleman and younglady.its no...no...for me.

MOHAMAD FIRDAUS BIN MAT Mar 12 2022 5:45 pm @H I don't think that he would win Daesang for the second time with the same drama that he has won for the previous year.It's either Yoon Shi Yoon or the male lead of any other drama that would gain huge popularity this year. I hope an actress would win for Daesang this year instead although that might not be that possible.

Iwi Mar 12 2022 12:20 am Yeay Choi yebin is here hoho

Kube Mar 11 2022 10:13 pm I promised myself that I would never watch a too long kdrama series again. B-but Shiyoon is calling me...

aYOONiverse ♥ Feb 24 2022 7:25 pm the one and only reason why i will definitely watch this.. "Yoon Shi-Yoon" ♥♥

CyanRingo Feb 08 2022 11:21 am The premise seems fun! And it has Yoon shi yoon in it. Definitely in my watchlist. Can't waitttt

Keb Jan 03 2022 6:49 am Seeing the cast n story plot....this drama is gonna be best ....worth to see this drama.... hope this drama break record like yoon shi-yoon best k drama rating like kim tak gau(love bread n dreams)

H Jan 01 2022 7:57 am This drama will air after young lady and gentleman. If this drama surpassed the ratings of young lady and gentleman, then the male lead will obviously win the GRAND PRIZE or DAESANG on year-end award 2022. I can foreseen it. Lol but if this drama couldn't surpassed the ratings of Young Lady and gentleman, then the male lead of young lady and gentleman will win grand prize for the second time at year end awards 2022

H Jan 01 2022 7:55 am This drama will air after young lady and gentleman. If this drama surpassed the ratings of young lady and gentleman, then the male lead will obviously win the GRAND PRIZE or DAESANG on year-end award 2022. I can foreseen it. Lol

Kaiyee Jan 01 2022 5:07 am Choi Yebin , my favourite from Penthouse. I hope she is playing a good character in that drama

Anthony Banatao Dec 31 2021 1:32 am Great cast! I don't normally watch weekend dramas, but I will definitely check this one out!
