Comments

Hanbok Sep 07 2020 6:35 am SooBak is the worst. Dumb and annoying. Not a single good quality. Stopped watching this drama because of that stupid woman.

toan Apr 08 2020 8:11 am Vietnam remade this drama in 2018. Name: Gạo nếp gạo tẻ

lrt Mar 06 2020 7:26 am Really, really hated to see this end. The last episode made me choke up... so good!!! The writer gave everyone a story where they overcame many obstacles and transitions in life which is never perfect. People change...situations change but she showed how family can make all the difference! Great cast. Just loved this piece.

LiteralLee Mar 20 2019 6:38 pm Good drama until ep 50. Stupid ending.

don Mar 19 2019 5:59 pm I see the drama that will be replacing "My Only One" on KBS will have Jang Yong and Kim Hae Sook in it.

Yongjung Mar 18 2019 10:53 am I feel very angry whenever this drama airs. I don't think it teaches moral lesson, it teaches anger and whatnot. So poor conflicts and solution doesn't make sense, moreover the annoying characters and the annoying personalities. Little character development. I hope no more drama like this in the future

don Mar 05 2019 7:44 pm I'm watching this at 5am on my DirectTV-I've gotten hooked on it all over again (I watched it first-run years ago). Well worth watching it again!

Kris Dec 07 2018 7:42 pm I have never seen so much abuse by family members in a Korean drama. Most plots didn’t make sense.

jiwon6626 Oct 13 2017 9:58 pm I cried and laugh many times in this drama. Many moral lesson makes them worth to watch :') Super reccomended !!

3211 Nov 21 2016 6:48 am This piece of crap got more and more retarded as it went on. Awful characters all around, so disgusting that it makes the entire show hard to watch. Why watch something when every minute of screentime is vomit inducing? And then of course you have the usual retarded korean culture - people screaming, passing out when they get angry, violence towards family and strangers pretty much for the entire show, the retarded hierarchy of mother in law, daughter in law and so on. 40 year olds treated like 5 year old children. Awful

3211 Nov 20 2016 4:06 pm sweet mother of god, the mother makes you want to skip every one of her scenes. How in gods name can they write such a disgusting character? And the pigglet actress that play her makes even more painful to watch. Jesus christ

pueo Oct 22 2015 6:56 am This is an older drama but is just now being aired on the local Korean broadcast station here in Hawaii. Strong cast with a surprising newcomer performance in Han Joo Wan...he and Lee Yoon Ji (one of my fav actress) have great on screen chemistry. LYJ has done remarkable supporting roles and I'm glad she has a major role here...her presence is always a scene stealer for me.

Credit veteran actress Kim Hae Sook for being able to make my blood boil. No doubt all characters will evolve, but at this point I'm most disappointed in the dad...despite his gentle wisdom, he's a pathetically weak husband who can't protect his daughter Ho Bak from his wife's terrible abuse.

Love Oh Hyun Kyung playing the spoiled bitch and her line "I was in the Miss Korea Pageant!"...who didn't make it past the preliminaries. lol. I thought it was cool that they used this in her character as OHK was actually the 1989 Miss Korea.

Since this drama dominated the ratings, I'm holding myself back from marathoning it and look forward to watching all the characters develop on air.

MEP Sep 11 2015 6:23 am The drama was really nice to watch. It tells a realistic yet exciting story about family life. There was a moral lesson on most of the episodes. I love it!

Pammo Aug 08 2015 6:32 am Wow-- this was really good. Marathon this drama over 3 days because I couldn't stop watching. A very good family drama with lessons to learn at every turn and episode. Enough individual and diverse story lines for each character for the viewer to enjoy. Loved the "fairy tale" ending. No spoilers here. A must watch (KBS World on you tube).

Dera Apr 19 2015 1:56 pm one of the best drama i have watched & every time i rember it i feel happy & satisfied love it so much everyone was amazing xoxo

K Aug 31 2014 1:19 am Hi guys, does someone know the name of the song in movie?

PMY Aug 28 2014 12:26 pm i really love loser and heo yeondal... They are super cute ^^

rskdrama Jul 04 2014 6:29 pm where did you watch this drama? give me the website?

Betsy Apr 19 2014 8:32 am One of the best enjoyable drama. Especially Sedal and Hobak storyline. Daebak and gf too. Salute the crew and cast. Only wish that they explore more about Haebak. Shintong totally look like Sandeul from B1A4.

Maria Mar 25 2014 7:58 pm Hello, I m a Hispanic female and I m hooked with some of your t.v. soap opera shows. If I had the time I would watch all the t.v. operas on the air. I just cant believe myself anxiously waiting for the weekend so I can watch the development of the show. It has been about 2 yrs that I got hooked and I ll keep watching. Thank you for translating into English so many people not Korean like me, get to enjoy your shows.

Paul Mar 07 2014 1:10 am well it wasn't that bad watching a family with 3 daughter! (as i said in fist comment) xD was one of the best or actually best drama i've ever seen,thank you KBS and thank you Wang family. :-)

Laurie Mar 03 2014 4:43 pm Oh my goodness, I have waited for so long for the best ending. Thank you for the change in the storyline that Minjung went back to his love Sujeong. Thank you Subak for not being the witch at the very end. I just love the end. Thank you for such a good show, it was worth it right at the end.

Teena Mar 03 2014 4:38 pm I had just finished watching the end of Wangs family and I tell you, it was not a good waiting to find out, if Minjung was going back to his wife or remain with Sujeong. Thank you for giving us a good ending. It was such a twist of fate leading to the change of Subak and decided to let go of Minjung to be with the woman he really loves. Thank you staff, crew, directors and producers for giving us such a beautiful show and the ending was the best. I will never forget this show for a long time.

momo Mar 01 2014 2:29 am in love with this drama.its so sad it have to be end.......tnx for showing us this amazing storyline

Leslie Feb 26 2014 4:21 pm Love this drama! Thanks!

Mahdi Feb 22 2014 11:43 am Ariscell ! Thanks A LOT!

Ariscell Feb 19 2014 10:33 pm It's called "I'll turn to dust" lee kwang seok

Mahdi Feb 19 2014 4:09 am Great Drama!

Anyone Know the name of song in the end of episode 37 that Min-jung sang along at the river bank? please ...!!

Indian in Korea Feb 17 2014 7:55 am Well, I watched first episode and left it out until I saw the ratings creeping up crazily. Now I understand why - I myself got crazily hooked into this drama. Fantastic acting especially by Lee An-Geum, Ko Min-Jung, Wang Hobak and Heo Se-Dal. I liked these 4 characters. Kim Hae-Sook is like legendary actress with perfect execution. I have liked almost all of her dramas and she has been the pivot of the drama.

Thanks and I have learnt few things from this drama. Life is very unpredictable and this drama brings out that very well. Deservedly, hit nearly 50% ratings..

Aeri Feb 16 2014 3:46 pm KBS World TV has a channel on youtube.com where you can see the previous episodes. enjoy!

Anu Feb 13 2014 3:24 am i really like the show too much unfortunately i miss some episode but still love u all guys especially you choi sang-nam..

Salaah Feb 12 2014 4:24 pm Luv puppies couple! ^o^

Crack Feb 12 2014 4:13 pm Wang Soo-Bak after the all things she has done to her husband in end she pretend to be jealous with a woman who her exhusband going out with that was soo low!

Sissy Feb 07 2014 7:09 am I really like the love story of Ko Min-Joong and Oh Soon-Jung. Lots of love and respect for each other. Please let them be together till the end. Fighting!!!

caixxi Jan 29 2014 3:50 am can't get enough of this amazing drama! i'm gonna miss watching this when it ends!! ^^;;

Arati Jan 27 2014 7:31 am I m so much loving this drama n #fighting wang's members !!^__^

Mike UK Jan 26 2014 5:52 pm Love this Drama, don't want it to end

rhaunique Jan 19 2014 5:00 am oaaahhhh....... daebaakk... *stares at the ratings*.. how could it be... i think i'll watch this soon.. srsly

shiela from philippines Jan 18 2014 6:15 am Very touching scenarios, very realistic and can relates to all. Teaches a lot of lessons in life. I salute everyone for making this masterpiece, you deserve your awards and ratings.

Lex Jan 14 2014 9:06 am This is one of the best weekend dramas i've ever watched much better than Lee Soon Shin. At first, I was kinda hesitant to watch it but after watching the 1st episode, it made me make sure that I'll be able to follow it. Too bad, I've missed about 7-9 episodes so far because of hanging out in the mall,dinner parties, weddings, and vacations abroad. (revised)

Rukky Jan 03 2014 4:42 am Wang family is truly amazing tanks 2 d English sub lovin all d xters

Dema Jan 01 2014 12:24 am @Guest You only watched up to episode 2 and now you're whining why it's popular... What kind of drug are you taking? LOL :D

Guest Dec 30 2013 1:49 am The matriarch is always yelling... Just can't get pass episode 2... How come it's popular...

Thompson Dec 22 2013 8:37 pm I love this drama! I'm glad KBS World uploads it with subtitles on youtube, otherwise I wouldn't even know about it (I'm brazilian). I anticipate for the new episodes every weekend!

zult Dec 13 2013 12:51 pm In episode 25 there is this beautiful song sung by a female singer. it's at the scene when the two lovers meet at the lamp post when the first winter snow was falling. Can anyone tell me the name of the song and singer?

kapil Dec 13 2013 4:25 am being Indian, i dont miss to watch wang's family, i appreciate the casting director who has chosen right people and not the least the story writter who's done a remarkable job to make this series run successful. Lee Yoon-Ji is awesome, Jang Yong nice actor, saw him in my husbands got family, Lee Tae-Ran truly an talented actress and beautiful.......all the best to all you guys

MadRantings Dec 12 2013 8:07 pm Tampopo, I agree with everything you said. She is actually the only reason I keep tuning in to this drama.

Tampopo Dec 04 2013 11:19 am I'm so happy to see that Lee Yoon-ji is in another long running drama that is at the top of the ratings! By the way, although this is a remarkable ensemble cast, Yoon-ji is clearly the main character, and, by rights, her picture should be the first one shown. In all of her years in supporting roles, she has always made a huge impact with her expressive, large eyes and pretty smile, but I think also that her acting chops are near, or at, the very top of all actresses in her age group. Some may not immediately know her when they tune into a drama, but she quickly begins to avert one's attention to her and her character's presence. This drama, of course, is no exception to that rule.

faye Nov 21 2013 8:45 pm Hobak's mom is a poor excuse for a mother. She only loves 2 kids, he oldest one and the youngest one. How can a mother be this way when she has so many kids to divide her love with. I just wanted to smack her in the mouth. She talks to much, and her opinions are so selfish and she is one selfish, mom...I wish her husband would just give her a big slap right between her teeth. ad loser, what a poor excuse for a real man and he's got a big mouth too. a nd the oldest daughter, her Miss Korea is getting real old and her attitude stinks to the max. i like uncle he defends his niece to the bone. Grandma is crazy she has her own psycho agenda i kinda don't like her silliness. now the middle daugher, she's hysterical seeking advise from a child. is this for real, well, atleast the litle girl reads a lot maybe that is why she's so knowledgeable. I like gwanbak's boyfriend i'm glad he got rid of that ditzy head girl.....

aznative Nov 13 2013 11:01 am Yay it's on YouTube on KBS World TV with English and Chinese subtitles.

mia Nov 11 2013 5:33 am seriously. this drama is totally awesome and great. han jo wan and lee yoon ji deabak !

sweet96 Nov 02 2013 11:47 pm i love this drama start from the first episode! really a touching drama ever. love all the actor and the actress! can't wait for the next episode hehe :D

jugal ramnani Oct 27 2013 2:33 am this drama is so realistic, whatever is happening in this drama is the same i've seen hapenning in other's families, i am very much impressed . this also shows how hard directors and writers are working, this drama will surely gain above 40% ratings, actors are acting great, especially those who are protagonist of this story and some dialouges have become my favorite like "egh,hyo,hyo,hyo korean was nothing compared to this" heeh heeh! i am surely going to watch the whole series.

Aakriti Oct 25 2013 2:22 am this drama is so heart touching... I often cry watching it .. the entire star casts r very good actors..

Nat Oct 23 2013 11:04 am This is far different from Lee Soon Shin is the Best. It also has a good story line that will keep you hooked. I just LOVE SANGNAM-GWANGBAK tandem, they add spice to the drama and I always look forward to their scenes. I don't regret watching it..so far. ^-^

gado Oct 20 2013 12:59 pm I wish the Dad would punch Soobak's greedy two-faced Mom in the face already! Twice for each face!

maxene Oct 14 2013 9:04 am amazing drama! great actors to boot! highly recommended. watching this makes my blood boil most of the time but that just show how much effective the actors are. thumbs up to jo sung ha for his great acting! i'm looking forward to episode 11 onwards.

Paul Oct 14 2013 3:19 am awesome drama, a good show to watch with your family. i'm in awe after jo sung ha crying scenes...specially that scene at school.he proved he's a veteran actor,lee yoon ji and han joo wan couple is so funny and lee tae ran gorgeous like always! <3 keep up the good work everyone FIGHTING!!!

Larashati Putri Sep 28 2013 7:04 am I love Choi Sang Nam here :D It's interesting to see Sang nam and Gwang bak. Love this couple!

ohho Sep 23 2013 8:16 am Just watched 2 episodes and i think this drama has potential..it has interesting storyline but the things that i couldnt bear to watch was the useless and looser husband and uncle the family have.how could the wife bear with such husband?luckily she has strong character..i just hope they will changed but pls dont make them changed at the end of the episodes..lol Anyway,anyone knows the 1st ost of this drama?i love the ost but until now im not able to find the title..

Ran Sep 22 2013 8:19 pm Wow!!! the rating is very high, the highest ever in all dramas I have watched. Until this episode, can't stand with the character of Soo Bak and her mother, very annoying.

Tanglefoot Sep 05 2013 1:55 pm Rest assured, Paul, our two ladies (LTR and LYJ are two of my very favorites, too!) will make this (as they do in all of their other dramas) worth investing your time in. As far as absurdly cute, feisty, and spicy comedic acting goes, it's hard to top Lee Yoon Ji... :)

nana Aug 27 2013 3:55 am i don't mind watching another drama about a family with 3 daughters, i am sure it would be different in some way. I guess will see. Hopefully is great, i know the cast is.
