Comments

tori Dec 30 2020 12:07 am This drama is so bad i had to leave a review, not much love or cuteness, and the title is incorrect. the actors are good but the storyline really sucked I agree with all the comment that the end was bad too, definitely point out that mothers who left their kids will get karma. really hate the stepmom lol, should have killed her off. anyways. would not recommend.

haha Mar 11 2018 7:20 am don't like the drama but i love the ost... this is one of the best k-drama ost so far

shin Jul 06 2017 3:27 am worst ending everrrrrrrrrrr

pipit May 30 2017 3:48 am well i don't care about the story...all i care is ha seok jin...just seeing his acting is everything for me...hahahahahha saranghae ha seok jun oppa...xixixixixi

suk2014 Dec 17 2015 9:13 am Well said JINJOO. I like the idea that literature need to be postive coz its the way to give people hope. But sometimes literature need to be realist to show to other what this world actually will be.

And people here deserve to mad for ending. Me too. I always has an afraid feeling when drama or movie come to end coz I afraid the ending not what I want to be. When it no suppose what I want, its hurt the most.

But, hurt is something that we suppose to deal. No people in this world always get happiness in their entire life.

tran Sep 27 2015 2:07 pm It's not fair when Song Chang Eui won award while he was filming often than Lee Ji Ah. Incomprehensible audience korean past discrimination with LJA while she completed filming process so outstanding excellence as Eun Soo.

Jomad Aug 16 2015 11:14 am I agree what the peep are saying, the ending is sucks no relevant whatsoever and the title itself doesn't reflect to the story line. Really disappointed. Whoever rate or review this drama are not experience enough. They should've be rated at all. The main reason I watched is because of Chang-Eui and Han Jin-Seok-Jin. The lead and supporting actresses aren't good either. So don't be fool...don't waste time you'll be sorry. Read all the comments it says it all.

letmebe Aug 08 2015 10:19 pm i just finished watching this n i still wished she didn't leave her first husband who was a better guy than the 2nd! not to spoil some who have not watched this but didn't quite like the ending! i dislike tae won's 2nd wife, she's a lunatic & that actress is a lousy actress! i only watched coz of song chang ui!

Sia Aug 06 2015 9:49 pm This drama was a bomb.. The actors were really great with their roles but this drama itself was a disaster(kudos for KSH since u've sucessfully ruined my time watching this)..

jinjoo Aug 05 2015 5:32 pm i started watching this drama & thot of coming here but the comments esp the ending is a spoiler, however i'll continue watching coz of Song chang ui & i guess any dramas/movies it's an individual's choice whether it's good or to your liking, one may not like it but one may find it interesting, it's like you got to try & if it's not to your liking that's the way it goes in any dramas or movies! i hope ppl won't post spoilers here please esp for someone like me who's still watching it! so far i'm finding it interesting! if someone didn't like the way the ending went, then sorry but we cannot always choose the endings we want! peace

ian May 06 2015 10:58 pm if you all notice that the rating for this drama was high in the end of story.. it must had a good ending., if you all conclusion about all comment here.. its just not fair

Iris Apr 30 2015 4:30 am I was about to watch this drama because of its title and the reunion of Uhm Ji Won & Han Seok Jin after Childless Comfort back in 2012 but i guess imma skip this one.. The first 10 episodes are good for me but since i read the ending for this drama was horrific,well giving it up is the best way or i'll die out of an ending depression LOL..Thanks for the comments XD

tricia Mar 11 2015 4:38 am i am looking for my next drama and i happened to read the synopsis, its quite interesting but after reading all the worst comments i drop this to my list...LOL! thanks to all the comments, it helps us not to waste our time for a not so good drama.

Elsa Dec 29 2014 6:34 pm Still, gave 100%... cause life is made by our choices and we can not all live our "fairytale".

Elsa Dec 29 2014 6:31 pm Saw this for Lee Ji-Ah... disappointed in the end.

dein Nov 18 2014 5:33 am the ending was the worst eversince

chii Nov 17 2014 6:02 am bored. what a sad ending . -,- really dissapointed.

yeh Aug 25 2014 8:30 pm Dissapointed 2...what a ending...not three times I remember she married 2x only...

cherlyn Jun 08 2014 12:19 am was excited for lee ji ah but the story was very disappointing..

Song seung rae May 11 2014 1:01 pm Omg i thought it would have a nice ending but i decided not to continue to watch it . Because i read all of the comments about this movie all comments are very dissapointing so well i decided not to watch it , feel that im just wasting time . Ive watched this till midnight nahh i better to sleep.

Liza May 02 2014 4:02 pm The worst Drama I've ever seen in my whole entire life.

juan Apr 23 2014 2:04 pm The woman who wasted 40 h of my life lol...one of the worst kdrama

Theresa Apr 20 2014 11:16 pm The ending was too sad and unfair! I was very disappointed like other viewers. SBS, please don't make dramas like this anymore.

alice Apr 14 2014 5:24 pm Didn't she married 2 times ? I think she will back to jung tae . Very dissapointed with the ending T_T

cora Apr 07 2014 9:27 pm lovely drama that i looked forward watching

every episode.  Very disappointed with the ending.I was expecting Eun Soo and Joon Goo will end up with HAPPY ending together after the birth of their baby. Very sad, frustrating ending that even few days after this drama ended my heavy and sad feelings how it ended still exist. i cant erese from my heart and my head. SAAADDD......

Mai Apr 06 2014 8:40 pm I loved this show to start but the ending really killed it for me. It's a very bad way for this drama to end. I have been in love with korean dramas for the past 3 years but I am now so disenheartened that I haven't bothered to move on to any others. I think I'm done now, to much time invested into what turned out to be a stupid show.

VIVIIAN YEOW Apr 05 2014 4:39 am Good show but ending too slip shot. Enjoyed seeing this drama.

sisy Apr 04 2014 6:20 am most boring drama ever!

pang Apr 03 2014 11:42 pm lousy writer

kim shie Apr 02 2014 9:26 pm Didn't she married two times?

Linda Apr 02 2014 9:23 pm I was very disappointed in the ending. It didn't make any sense at all. I'm wondering what happened to the writer to write such a horrible ending. The scene with the father kicking the daughter didn't make sense. I don't know why they added it into the story if they were not going to elaborate on it. I don't know how the cheating husband ended up with the girlfriend and why the writers had his wife to give up her son. The ending was just an utter mess. I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone. So sad, so sad

elsie maraya Apr 02 2014 7:58 pm I feel very disapponted with the ending of the drama. True, people have choices bvut it seemed this drama condones the gratification of a woman who steals a husband, a mother who forsakes her own child because of an unforgiving heart , a husband who is so weak that cannot sustaina relationship, in-laws that interfere. Only the parents of the woman who married three times are commendable. This is just a drama but it does not set a good example about the value of human life. For me it is very disgusting. I hope this doesn/t happen in real life.

Reedie Apr 02 2014 3:13 pm Horrible, unrealistic ending! Hated the last few episodes!

kingston Apr 02 2014 3:46 am Great ending,we never know what life has to offer next.

Denislav Georgiev Apr 01 2014 11:58 pm The screenwriter is a dotard and the director and the producer are idiots! Another "victory" for the "correct" family values in Korea, that treat women as a second sort human beings. The moral censorship in the Korean TV stations won't allow a different end for this kind of dramas. Well, for the rest of the world this is 2014 but for Korea it's still 1914. Fucking idiots! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME TO WATCH THIS BULLSHIT!

Nathalie Apr 01 2014 6:22 pm This ending was horrible

wenda Apr 01 2014 4:10 pm UNBELIEVABLE! Did the writer go berserk? It should be titled the Woman Who didn't get to Marry Three Times!!! And it was an ABSOLUTE waste of time!!!

Yoona Apr 01 2014 3:45 pm I hate this show so much. I wish I never even started watching it. Like seriously this is it? The child abuser gets to live a happy life with Eun Soo's first husband. The home wrecker gets to live a happy life with Eun Soo's second husband, and Eun Soo never gets to see her son? Wow biggest waste of my time ever. They better make some alternate ending or something, because this ending sucked. Wow she marries herself, big whoop.

jorm Apr 01 2014 9:33 am Calling SBS I am an avid fan almost all of your dramas which i claim good but just a few not so good but this one OMG im calling your attention never just accept any scriptwriters who is just like playing the whole story.according to his/her imagination.It is a family oriented story and it is far from reality .Every episodes you should have reviewed it at least you can advise the writer what to do with the story.This story is waste of time and most of the viewers are disappointed.

Stunned Mar 31 2014 9:42 pm The biggest time waster of the 2013/2014. The last episodes make you wish you never started watching this drama. The so called famous screenwriter should have been fired the minute she submitted the script for the final episode. Totally asinine ending where a child abuser is "all better" after her father kicked her up and down in a driveway and a mother gives away a child to the rich grandparents never to see it again so she can "be free" to raise her first child she previously abandoned for years to live with the aforementioned rich in-laws! Chincha? Seriously? I would like a refund of my 40 weeks!!!

Brenda Mar 31 2014 8:33 pm I just finished the final ending and it sucks. The writers failed to deal with the issues of child abuse and then gave the baby to the cheating husband and homewrecker to raise. Really !!! Truly a waste of time

Cece Mar 31 2014 7:31 pm What a waste of time! The writer must run out of ideas!

Bella Mar 31 2014 4:48 pm Horrible ending! The writer owes the viewers an apology. What he should do is write another better ending or get fired!

Bella Mar 31 2014 4:41 pm I love watching Korean dramas and every week looked forward to watching this drama but now I wish I hadnt started watching it .The ending was the worst that I could ever imagine .To whoever wrote the finale should be fired ! :(

Sad Mar 31 2014 2:34 pm I REALLY _REALLY,,,,,,, Agree Terrible - Horrible STORY LINE! This Drama Is A BIG DISAPPOINTED, CREATED BY THIS STUPID WRITER! Ending was the WORST I ever came upon! Wasted My Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ETC.................

MT Mar 31 2014 9:50 am Horrible, horrible, horrible ending. I was loving this drama until it got ridiculous. This was such a disappointment. How could SBS let this happen?

cherrie Mar 31 2014 9:08 am Seriously!!! I dont get it Worst ending..what u feel guys is what i feel too.. I am verry dissapointed. Grrrrrrr.......

Betty Mar 31 2014 8:40 am The only part about this ending that I bought was Eun Soo winding up with herself. Everything else was ridiculous. Tae Won keeps the psychotic abusive Chae Rin and has a kid with her. Joon Goo winds up playing house with the alcoholic neurotic Da Mi while his mother takes care of his son. The end. Ugh. I am giving up on long dramas.

Helena Mar 31 2014 7:30 am I'll think again twice before watching another drama written by Kim Soo Hyun! Soo disappointing! Does the writer not know that the viewers expect happy endings in drama land? Where is the third marriage? Why is Eun Soo left alone in the end while her cheating ex enjoys life with Da Mi? Stupid ending!!

Agnes Mar 31 2014 6:53 am What a lousy writer

THESSA Mar 31 2014 4:17 am what is this??? theyre so weird

janet Mar 31 2014 12:46 am The worst finale I've ever watched in Kdrama! So disappointing! I wasted my time on this drama! WRITERS are DAMN!!!!!!

Sad Mar 29 2014 12:44 am I love this drama until episode 38. this drama is such a disappointment it just ruin my days of watching. Yap! I also thought she would miscarriage and back to first hubby! But seems like tae won falling for second wife! Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I never watch this drama. The writer has gone off her etc........................can't think of a stupid words to tell her, I'm just VERY ANGRY!

Betty Mar 28 2014 7:56 am There is something creepy about a man who treats his wife as a child. And how can the writer of this drama think that all someone who has become a child abuser after being abused herself needs is a little kindness and affection? Chae Rin is a ticking time bomb and needs INTENSIVE therapy. But will this drama end with Tae Won, Chae Rin and their children living happily ever after as if the abuse never happened? In reality these problems cannot be solved so easiy, although every abuse victim wishes they could. If the writers are going to take on such a difficult issue, then they should treat it as one. Perhaps Chae Rin will explode once again in the next two episodes. Then Tae Won will have to get her help.

Afrobeauty Mar 24 2014 5:26 pm Sonja, I soooo agree with you !!!

Rosa Mar 24 2014 5:12 pm I really disappointed that tae won is accepting his new wife because of her family issue. I thought Eun soo will miscarriage and love happy with tae won since both if them break up because of his mother. Now his mother learn her lesson and think she is good, they should get back as true love. But what is this? Then true didn't exist in thus world ? So disappointed I shouldn't watch

Sonja Mar 23 2014 10:45 am This drama is wrapping up to be a big disappointment...seriously Tae Won falls for his new wife because of the abuse she suffered that she used as an excuse to inflict on Seuk Gi..abuse is abyss...send her away and get her some help!!..if this drama us about forgiveness then it could have ended several episodes ago...dragging it out is making it less appealing...I'm totally disappointed...

ben Mar 18 2014 6:02 am If she thinks nothing about divorce as you said. What about those who thought nothing of marriage first... it came to this point because they first messed up. Who would want to divorce if they all in the first place lived up to their word. For better or worst? you might say , what about the promise they made to cherish and love only one single person until death torn them apart.

Minka Feb 23 2014 10:33 pm When is HS going to stop this verbal and physical abuse of GM? Is this her idea of showing affection for someone she has loved for 15 years? If so, she needs to join that nutcase DM, and that child in a woman's body, CR, in the psycho ward. Actually, most of these characters are mentally challenged.

Chick Feb 11 2014 11:12 pm Yeah, it's time to pull the plug on this one. I thought 50 was way too many episodes. I'm sick of seeing SE's sour puss, her child's unhappiness, and her husband's weak character. My prediction is that SE will miscarry when she finds out about her stupid husband. SE has already started thinking about her ex husband so it's a matter of time before they meet up.

doula Feb 11 2014 1:03 pm this is really weird.... initally 50 episodes now 32?? whats this poor rating?

Chick Jan 26 2014 8:37 pm Ok, now this is starting to get interesting. Half way through the drama and things are starting to break big time. Pregnancy, trying for pregnancy, parents talking about former in laws in a nice, reminiscing way, broken promises, talks of marriage--or not, motherly interest in a weak man. Looking forward to resolutions in all this. However, where there once was an attraction towards Gwang Mo, I now see him as a silly man. He's got the looks, and the body but his mannerisms are childish. I'm hoping that's his interpretation of the character and not his true self.

Ann Jan 20 2014 11:23 am Someone gotta explain to me the ending of ep 18 ? Please.. Thank you in advance :)

Chick Jan 03 2014 8:16 pm I can't believe this drama is 50 episodes. By ep. 15, things are already beginning to break. ES's marriage is on the rocks, GM has declared his love for HS, the little girl is not happy with the custody arrangement, TH is not fond of her new sister-in-law, who, is also on the outs with the maid, and TW's mom has shown signs of ill health. I just don't see the necessity for 35 more episodes. Let's wrap this up in 24!

toye o Dec 18 2013 10:38 am @chick i think so. let's hope the writers does not release a red alert. looking forward to the next episodes.

Chick Dec 17 2013 6:41 pm It seems more interesting, the relationship of GM and HS. How they are to come together despite their years of bickering and disinterest as a couple. HS is frustrated, for sure. She does have an attraction but doesn't want to become one of GM's castaways. It will be interesting to see how the roommate will take their inevitable relationship. Also, JG was very astute in sizing DM up. She looks to be a future trouble maker.

hendra Nov 30 2013 1:27 am can anyone tell me what's the name of the song at the end just before the preview? tried shazam but no result. :s

Kay Nov 23 2013 4:05 pm You know ES will remarry TW. He has never fallen out of love with her. JG may love ES, but not enough to stay away from the actress. So that will be his downfall. The love for the little girl is the tie that binds ES and TW. Now we will just have to wait for all the mess to clear up before she marries him again. And, either TW's family changes, or they go off on their own to live happily ever after. (The bridal industry will be sorry to lose ES as a customer).
