I'll also say, even though you, Koo Hyun-Sook, weren't the casting director, the addition of Kim Young-Ae (in her final role) made this drama all the more special. Excellent Excellent writing. DSant Jan 29 2017 12:17 am Really disappointed in Ep 45 of Laurel Tailor, I hope you are not going the makjang route for this drama. I am not a big fan of drama extensions, cause it normally ruin the whole story. It was fun to watch the previous episodes and now you through a monkey wrench on us. elle Jan 03 2017 5:38 am Wow, I've never seen anyone get such low ratings on here. But I do have to admit that Hundred Year Inheritance was hmmmmm, what's the word? I remember watching it, but I don't remember watching it until the end. It got draggy and I couldn't watch it anymore; however, I just started watching The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop. I love it! I finished the full current 38 episodes in one week. Fifty episode scares me, but I'm so glad I gave into this drama. It's not the fast pace kind of drama (obviously at 50 episodes), but it keeps me interested. Kudos to The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop cast. They're all awesome! Carol Mar 07 2015 7:35 am This is truly one of the worst K-drama writers out there. Plot lines are dragged out unnecessarily, dead people brought back to live for no reason and noble idiocy is in every single drama she writes. All the standard K-drama cliche's only they're taken to a massive level of stupidity. Unless you enjoy major makjang and frustration, avoid this writers dramas at all costs. Asia C. Love May 19 2014 10:40 am I am addicted to this show! I'm on Episode 43. Although the story is really good, I have but one question, why is Min Chae Won so weak? Please, please, please hurry with Season 2. I love checking out the hot guys ( Lee Jung-Jin and Choi Won-Young) they are perks to this drama! :) Much thanks to you for the entertainment. Asia Asia C. Love May 19 2014 2:04 am I am addicted to this show! Please, please, please hurry with Season 2. I'm love checking out the hot guys, the drama is a perk! :) Tibo Jan 26 2014 12:51 am What??? Best screenplay? Omo, you must be kidding...hahahaha...I'm not enjoy your drama, it's just too, too long, with pathetic short story actually linda Jul 15 2013 8:20 pm I actually enjoyed very much the show Hundred Year Inheritance. It was very realistic and although many people are critizicing chae wons character, in reality I think her character was very honorable and brave. If only more young women could handle themselves in such a wayw hen they are not sure of their destiny and are going through serious issues. I am learning that many times life does not unfold at the speed we want. Therefore it is important to be cautious in all interactions and still be respectful and hold yourself as a lady because justice prevails eventually and you want to deserve your spot on the good side. Kari Jun 09 2013 3:25 pm I'm up to EP #46 of Hundred Year's Inheritance. CW is an unrealistic and pathetic character. At this point your writing makes me feel she deserved the treatment she received from her first set of in laws since she is so unbelievably spineless and pathetic. I even checked to see if you were one of the writers of the fiasco drama Fashion King. I'll tell you that you're work is not as bad as that, but you are running a close second. I have made a note to myself not to watch anymore of your dramas. latoya Jun 06 2013 5:38 pm Please as someone who is so dedicated to this show that I continue to watch the episodes over and over all week while waiting for the weekend with its new episodes to come. Please don't disappoint. Some miracle writing needs to happen for CW and SY to be together. Wedding must occur before 50th episode and before death of grandpa. All evil must be repaid not just for CW evil mother in law but also her evil apprentice JR. Bring happiness to CGs life maybe in the form of his 2nd exwife with baby? Whatever just please get him away from CW. I love this show plz give us all the ending that we want. Ray Ziebro May 06 2013 8:11 pm I find this series very entertaining and enjoy the characters and how well they play their roles, especially rooftop. I also find Madam Yang fascinating and am happy she ended up with utility pole. Len Sabater May 03 2013 5:11 pm I have been watching A Hundred Years Inheritance. Seems some of the viewers think that Lee See Yoon is related to Yang Choo-Hee, hoping that they are all wrong about it. Also, I have been waiting for Chae-Won to turn the noodle factory business into something extraordinary to show her ex-mother-in-law what's she's capable of. You have 16 episodes left. If possible, I would also like to see her and See Yoon have a family of their own. Inspite of the other comments, I still watch the show because I just adored Chae-Won and See Yoon. Juju R. Apr 03 2013 12:03 am I agree with the comment below... especially after watching episode 26, I've decided to stop watching 100 year inheritance. This drama doesn't leave me wanting to know more, it just makes me annoyed and not want to watch it and it seems I'm not the only one who feels this way! I will just wait until June to watch the last episode and save myself the grief from watching every episode. Lets at least hope for a good ending. Izza Ailell Mar 25 2013 6:35 am Hello Koo Hyun-Sook. I'll get straight to the point. It's about your work "Hundred Years Inheritance." Honestly and personally, I don't like where the story is going. Are you just making up all those stories for the weekend? How could you make Min Chae Won have no backbone at all? She has suffered much already. Please stop making her life miserable and give her some credit. Why do you have to take the only support system she has - Lee Sae Yoon? Is her character to be a martyr until the end? If so, then it's a failure. Since, women nowadays fight for their right but this drama portrays Min Chae Won the laughing stock of all women without power at all. You always make her look like a fool in every episode and you just basically leave her speechless whenever she is in a tight situation and she gets blamed for everything. She doesn't even get the chance to defend herself. Everyone just assumes everything, they confront her and then you let her look gulity for something she hasn't done. In my opinion, this drama isn't worth watching. Every episode is just a waste. Truthfully, I don't watch all of it. I skip a lot of parts. Why do you have to make Min Chae Won so pitiful and powerless? You should have titled the drama "Min Chae Won's Miserable Life," instead of "Hundred Years Inheritance." The storyline still isn't justifying the title. It's so unsatisfactory! Please do something about the story for this weekend. It's almost the 50th episode and no episode has satisified me or the majority of the audience. Otherwise, I daresay, I should stop watching it. Show the 4 previous comments...
