HULAROCK Jan 27 2024 4:31 pm I don't agree with some of the reviews on 8/20. I found this drama to be well written and kept me engaged until the last episode . It was delightful and really in a sense I could see all that occurred happen. The transgender was a good topic to bring up since that is the way things are. I just think that the two leads Kim Hae Sook and Cheon Ho Jin was priceless no matter if they are in their fifties they carried it out it was believable, Bong Sil had grown children in this drama why cant there be love again in their fifties which gives one hope I don't think they played it out as though they were in their twenties. . I count the dramas that have made me excited to watch this was one of the 20. I wish there was really a book that one could read . As for Park Won-Sook this role for her was great . I loved it loved it and Cheon Ho Jin is a very attractive man.

Park Min Aug 20 2023 4:09 pm The production seems to be as bare-bones as they could come from the 2000s. A drama can still be functional even with the roughest cuts if other aspects held up which, unfortunately, isn't the case here. The writing was a a big sloppy mess, incoherent, disconnected from reality and unbelievably corny, especially the older cast. The drama ended up with too many loose ends, these plot threads left untouched despite constantly building them up throughout the drama. For example, the story constantly hinted that Yoon Young and her husband were going to have marital problems and that was going to be their story but we never got to that point, making all the scenes including them leading up to that moment completely redundant. The writing definitely affected the cast's performance. You may have been excited to see the leads to be different from the typical young-blood dolled up faces but they don't bring much to this specific project, in fact, it's embarrassing to watch them here when you they're definitely more capable than that. They were in their 50s at the time but were acting like the typical shy 20s boy-girl for their romantic scenes. Speaking of cast members, I Always hated how Kim Hye Ok sounds when she screams or cries but this drama turned it up to 11. You may or may not develop tinnitus from the unbelievable intense screeching.

There was a transgender subplot and let's just say that the drama handled it as you would imagine Korean writers would do. The drama may seems promising from the surface but it's a big let down.

Chloe-USA Oct 10 2016 9:11 pm Kim Hae-Sook and Cheon Ho-Jin: You two must be Korea's most formidable and enigmatic, most beloved actors. You two are the best combination of talent that is rare and always give award-worthy performances no matter what the role is. I love watching you two in so many projects! Never disappointed! It;s a joy just watching the way you become your character and take your audiences on the most amazing emotional ride!!! Saving Mrs Go is proof that that. The full performance is excellently cast!!! Award-Worthy and outstanding performances from Jung Seong Woo (think I'm in love!) and Choi Han-Bit (Bravo! wishing you success) - definitely want to see much more of each of you!!!!

Luffy Sep 04 2016 1:24 pm Great drama so far. The youngest daughter is way too whiny and annoying and the older daughter is kind of mean and selfish, but most of the other characters are great and it's a very good.

ChaRang May 28 2016 12:17 pm I'm loving this show so far. The only two thing I'm not liking is the utter annoyance of the younger daughters crying. It's the worse, and the oldest daughters need to control everything.

jenn May 26 2016 4:05 pm Am I alone in that I can't stand the youngest daughter and all her whiny crying poor me hysterics? I just want to slap her!

Michael and Mai Gile Apr 20 2016 8:02 am We love it! Binge watching on Netflix

Dani Oct 16 2014 1:50 pm I don't care about Luna or Kim Kyu Jong but I absolutely love this drama. I cried so much towards the end.
