Michele Feb 10 2021 11:49 am My 2nd all time favorite K Drama (after Crash Landing on You). I don't know why, but I just love elderly people love stories. Park Young Gyu was excellent. I cried my eyes out in the last episode.

Sanoe Feb 16 2020 12:59 am Can you list the artist and song played in the closing scenes. It was used extensively throughout the show and featured a guitar and ukulele strumming. Some times the song was sung by a Male and on this case a female...

Toni Sanoe Dela Cruz Feb 09 2020 5:24 pm Who is the female artist singing in episode 48/49? Where MinJi is crying to her guy pal about Nami vexing her at home earlier . The song is a simple song played with ukulele and one female singing. Its beautiful and I want to find the song!!!! please help!!

lrt Nov 28 2018 7:34 pm Good drama that made me think but too many story lines abandoned or abbreviated as if the writer was expecting to prepare for more episodes.

Queenmizellen May 12 2018 1:01 pm Please what is/are the music tracs that play during the drama?

KdramaNoona Apr 16 2017 4:41 pm I understand those who say they skip parts and that it is draggy.. When I watched the first episode I thought that it would be great drama. I am now at episode 13 and I am skipping parts since it is not interesting and draggy.. until now I am only watching it and looking forward for the scene of the mom and the president. And also Gang jae and Kong Soon. And I really dislike Se ryung..she reminds me of Yoona bad acting in K2

SML Feb 23 2017 10:41 am i love this drama.highly recommended..!! Ms. Cha Hwa Yeon is a great actress,she's such an inspiration. I love the chemistry between her and Park Young Gyu...This drama has a lot to offer and has a moral values.

Anxious Aug 01 2016 6:22 pm This is such a great drama - characters are so genuine & situations were so identifiable. True to nowadays reality.

How come this drama just ends at Episode 50 ? Is there a continuation soon? It's seems it's just in the middle of a whole story.

Can someone tell me please?

northerngirlt Feb 22 2016 9:25 am Great ending! Realistic but not depressing...

kdramalover Feb 10 2016 4:31 am Anyone know the name of Youngjae's superior and Minji's friend? They look familiar. I just can't put my finger on where I saw them.

mj Jan 16 2016 9:08 pm Kind of weird since the actor who plays eldest son and mom are only 12 years apart! Love the, the elder son could have been casted to a younger actor.

mj Jan 10 2016 8:58 pm Started out so great and now it's really just dragging and whining!!!

sophiagarcia Jan 09 2016 4:50 pm the name of young-jae's superior does not appear on the list. i wonder who she is. she looks georgeus.

Gina Jan 01 2016 4:12 pm This is one of many dramas that I could skip several episodes without missing much, dragging out the storyline (yawn.). Boring... Guess I'll wait til the very last episode when the screen appears "5 years later..."

sophiagarcia Dec 31 2015 7:24 pm well deserved awards especially for lee moon sik.

arizonagirl Dec 31 2015 1:33 am @ JinJoo --- here is the info you were wondering about ---

Shin Sung Woo as Ha Na’s bio father

Jinjoo Dec 24 2015 11:00 am i am really enjoying this drama & of late i noticed that yon hee's ex b/friend emerged but asianwiki doesn't even have a photo of this actor who i admire - he is very attractive & first time i've seen him in Kdrama! can someone perhaps post it here who that actor is? he's so charming & hope to see more of him! he's the biological father of ha na in this drama, anyone who has info about him wld be appreciated! i think he's got potential & good looks!

sophiagarcia Dec 24 2015 2:39 am i really like this drama and i am so happy for the cast that it has high ratings. the mom is so beautiful and a great actress. the role suits her perfectly. i like that other family where the old husband/wife are always arguing. they are so funny. i love the kids, especially the older one. i like the father/chaffeur ever since his queen seon duk days. he is a great actor. actually, everyone plays his/her role well. it looks the cast is having so much fun doing the drama. the story is very realistic and the characters are relatable.

fifi Dec 09 2015 3:13 am great drama! reminds me of Wang's family but without the father. The main actress Cha Hwa-Yeon is just beautiful!
