Lee Seohwa Dec 18 2025 3:18 pm This Kdrama wouldn’t be popular without Tiffany for sure

Aiman basir Dec 13 2025 1:12 am Byeon yo han and Tiffany couple in real life

sone retiree Dec 13 2025 1:05 am im surprised with this marriage news.. probably tiffany and yohan get to know each other through this drama.. i didnt watch this drama but did both get to share the same screen on the drama?

Love Dec 13 2025 12:13 am Here after hearing the news. Happily ever after

Darey Oct 24 2024 3:15 am the kind of drama you can't miss every second of. because if you don't focus you won't understand the next scene.

episodes 10-16 are honestly a bit boring. many stories and scenes are repeated from the last episode. which the audience already understands without needing too many flashbacks.

but... this is of course a flashback drama between flashbacks.

Saman Sep 26 2024 8:54 am An Ki-Chul played by the brilliant Oh Seung-Hoon deserves a separate series of his own. His character is so mysterious that you wanna know more about him. How he thinks, feels, loves, hates. This show is a masterpiece but I couldn't help but wonder what made An Ki-Chul.

unknown Jun 23 2024 1:30 pm masterpiece

Nan May 22 2024 9:14 pm Amazing!

I know very little about Korean history but it's very well explain and easy to follow all characters and their personal or political interests.

Interesting plot, great characters, nice photography and narrative, of course we don't need to write about acting... I mean main actors are Song Kang Ho and Byun Yo han, they are superb.

5_ooo May 19 2024 10:11 am so f*ckin good, such elite actors in one drama is insane

charlene Apr 16 2024 10:18 am omg i love byun yohan and so excited for this drama!!!

Kdrama_stan Apr 09 2024 5:09 am Wow actor Song Kang Ho in a series. Been a fan of his acting. The casting looks great too. Looking forward to this.

Acee Apr 08 2024 10:39 pm Excited for Tiffany to be back in kdrama!

scire Mar 17 2024 6:07 am set in 1960s, God why dramas that are set in the past era looks so good? AM i born in a wrong timeline please set me back to 60s lmao

Aimen Dec 30 2023 1:51 pm I'm really excited because I haven't seen Byun YoHan in a lot of dramas...So, really looking forward to seeing him after a long time...♡♡♡♡

Goh Lay Hong Oct 07 2023 7:39 pm Can't wait release of Kang Ho 1st drama....must must watch

cia Aug 22 2023 9:48 am can't wait for byun yohan x jin kijoo pairing!

Sofia Sep 28 2022 8:07 am Yohan as Kim San ! YAY ♡

Baeha Aug 30 2022 11:13 am Omggg who will get the role of Kim San or let's say the best actor that would fit together with Kang Ho. A middle-aged bromance, a unique taste, I guess.

Apple Aug 29 2022 9:10 pm Of course I will watch!!(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
