angksud510 Mar 03 2025 3:38 am 88/100 this is not a classic Korean drama

SKY☁️? May 23 2024 5:33 pm 10/10 drama, its really good, uk there are some drama that dont need to have 16 ep but they still have nd it becomes boring but then there r also dramas with only 12 ep which deserve 16 ep this was one of the drama wish they had 16 ep for more screen time for the jin hee and jae won, i wanted to see more of jae won character, he never really opened up wanted to know more abt his pov. This drama felt like home, exactly a drama i wanted to watch, no intense problems, no extra over acting, very much realistic. Well done all the actors <3 and the 1st ep clicked in nd i was into this drama

Fs Jan 08 2024 11:05 am Don’t like her mom. Its kinda direspect her daughter feeling while her daughter its trying hard to make her mom happy.

Fs Jan 08 2024 11:04 am Cannot with this kind of mom sometimes ??? ahhahaha

Ayesha Jan 01 2024 4:15 am i love Sooyoung acting. more series and movies pls. a romcom with Sung Hoon might click.

Ahran Lee Dec 29 2023 11:52 am I ship Jaewon with Jinhee the most, and kinda disappointed that they're not having more romantic scene. Hopefully there will be sequel soon. Pssttt I wish they're married in the sequel.

Happy Sep 21 2023 6:22 pm I really liked ittttt noo I loveeee ittt. I wish there will be season 2? i want them to continue the lovestory of jae won and jin hee.

CH Sep 01 2023 2:23 am I liked this drama, despite most characters being very annoying and selfish maybe because at times some characters feel so real, and not the usual stereotypes in kdramas it is funny how this drama actually helped me understand some of my family members and showed me some life lessons, despite being such a silly story and the ending is just like... ok, lets finish this in 10 minutes...

PD: I usually never comment on physical appearance but whatever Park Sung-Hoon is doing to his face, he needs to stop, please

Tulazi Aug 28 2023 3:47 pm Eun Jae Won = Eun Ji Won lolll I can't help but to keep mistaken the male name.

Anyway good drama, the acting all Great. Storyline wise, it is reality. Mom is not someone you can expect any attitude changes, because they old I guess, the don't change like kid.

Mother is selfish and clingy to the daughter. She wanna solo travel why the heck she following her. Tbh, if my mom do that, I'll just cancel everything.

DTS Aug 28 2023 6:14 am If jinSoo smile .OMG handsome man. But. Why jinsoo. Why .. i think many girls like you ????.

Rodney Aug 27 2023 11:12 am Great characters and good story, and then it just...ends. Quickly. Did not respect the characters it had gotten the audience to know.

Williane Santos Aug 23 2023 9:31 pm I loved all episodes, but didn't the final, but that's okay, it's still a good and funny drama

Cali Aug 22 2023 10:27 pm I love this drama. I want to watch side story of Jin soo with his bf..haha

Jlo Aug 22 2023 9:27 pm I really like this drama. The story is simple but not boring. I want to give 10/10 for rating. Relationship between daughter and mom is good idea story. For second time i want to give applause for sooyoung's drama project. Sooyoung you have to get another interesting drama in future

Aimen Aug 22 2023 12:01 pm A solid 10/10 series for me......I Absolutely loved it....I'll miss them smmm....ㅠㅠ....JinHee and EunMi hwaitingggggggggg.....!!!!

NGS Aug 21 2023 11:41 pm So, Kim Jin Soo exist to be real bestfriend here?!?! Not someobe that really like Jinhee? I also ship Jinhee and Jin So tbh hahaha.

Ahhh it will finished today, cant wait to see how they wrap this series

NUR MAISARAH BT MESRON Aug 21 2023 11:46 am This drama only 12 episode I am sad right now

Mary % Aug 19 2023 11:31 pm Can someone tell me the female artist´s name and the name of the song at the end of episode 10. It is beautiful.

Mentari Aug 18 2023 6:45 am I am on episode 10 now, and tbh after few episodes, I realize how selfish the mother character is. It doesn't get any better and her selfishness gets worse each episode. The daughter herself is much more mature and sensible in this case. Storyline could be better but some part is dragged to make it look ridiculous...too bad.

kdramalover Aug 16 2023 9:21 am try to watch until ep 10 before judging. This Kdama is fresh and new not typical but sort of... it deals with violence and a mother raising her child alone at a young age with nothing but only dedication. Appreciation to all the mothers out there,

Azeg Aug 15 2023 10:18 am Holly molly what a fresh family drama!! It mskes me wants to read the webtoon. Idk why everyone thinks this is a bad series. It has a fresh story, well written chracters (and complicated) and great casting, also the pacibg of the series is good, not too slow nor in a hurry. I too at first think that this is such a diffrent and uniqe mother daugther combo, obnocious? Not they are not, they just diferent, which is makes them way more interesting. Indeed the story line makes everything complicated, but i wish it all ends well. Esp these crazy mom and daugther. They deserve a happy ending. Its such a shame its only 12 episode. I want too see more of these lol. Seriously, this is such a fresh k drama!!!

O Aug 13 2023 2:36 pm Imagine having a mother who hides your panties after a fight, its not funny.

RimJi Aug 12 2023 10:25 pm I'm enjoying this drama so far. I love the chemistry of Sooyoung & Park Sung-Hoon. The slow burn of their romance is frustrating & exciting at the same time.

I didn't like her mom's & dad's characters, tho. I know this is mostly about mother-daughter dynamics but I feel like JinHee's mom gets to have more romantic moments than her daughter. I find the mom childish most of the time. Her actions & reasonings just scream obnoxious to me at times, especially when she was constantly bypassing her daughter's feelings about her father.

What irked me the most was when the mom tagged the father along JinHee's vacation plan without consulting her as the mom acting as if she didn't do anything wrong & even made JinHee feel guilty for not liking the idea.

But I really like JinHee-JaeWon tandem so I'm seeing this drama until the final episode even if that means tolerating JinHee's parents' cringey romantic moments. Lol

Kim Aug 12 2023 9:31 pm The most obnoxious Mother and Daughter combo, I really dislike this program because of them. The constant fighting, hitting each other and others, just not for me. One of the rare dramas I won’t finish

WowDrama Aug 08 2023 5:07 pm Now she knows about the other woman in timid mouse doctor life. He is being taken care of and has a son. Don't go into the other room it is messy with his other family pictures.

  This is why the mom and daughter didn't trust the Day/Doctor???????????????

Lu Aug 08 2023 2:17 pm The protagonists in this series are obnoxious, emotional & abusive women… no one really would like these qualities if they were of men but somehow it’s okay since it’s the women beating up the men… I hope part of the character development in this story is to grow them out of this

Ll Aug 08 2023 2:25 am Spoilers

Seriously so done with jinhee, her grabbing dad's collar and going off at him in 8 preview was excessive. Like honestly how is she even a cop? Firstly, lets accept it her mom jumps into every fight and gets physical, almost every 2days apart she has to visit police station where she was involved in some fight, it was a great thing saving the girl but at the same time getting into so many fights sadly puts her at risk, and both mom and daughter should know this and when she is attacked jinhee starts attcking her dad and that too assaulting him.

Overall jinhee is a terribly written character for a female lead, her emotional quotient is so low, she panics every other second, how can she function as a cop? She is mostly causing trouble for colleagues, doing things out of emotions, is always riding high morals horse looking down on others work ethics when she herself simply goes around suspecting anyone of stuff and starts assaulting them. If we look back even when she arrests underwear stealer she could have done it in profesisonal way but what does was so dangerous, which cop arrests a criminal by grabbing their underwear and screaming to call for help?

Jae won on contrast is very mature in how he deals with stuff.

Feel so bad for dad, he was kept in dark about his daughter which was so wrong and now when he has met then, he is needlessly getting mistreated. He is not even a bad person.

W Aug 05 2023 5:33 pm Every actor in the cast has lot of chemistry but sooyoung has no chemistry with anyone, neither mom, nor jae won and this is why not excited about her future scenes with her dad. Its not that she is acting bad, acting is fine but without any chemistry with costars.

Eun mi is actually lot of times very irritating and immature character but jeon hye jin has made her so likeable and fun and her chemistry with everyone even her ex bf is so good. Shes the reason watching the show.

Sunghoon has a very less screentime, he is wasted in thisbrole, dunno why he signed it after success in glory, hopefully he comes in a meaty role next time.

His chemistry is very strong with jin hees mom and the female officer at station, ship him with these two, all these 3 are playing their roles very naturally.

Amazing Aug 04 2023 11:30 am This is a great drama.

The only thing I don't like is being overly aggressive against the husband when he didn't know anything, but I think it was a Good idea Not to tell him. Why? bc he stopped and gave up on seeing her when his dad said that he would punish his GF if he kept acting up. If she told him about the baby, then the husband's dad would have stepped in and made her abort the baby. When he was young, the husband did not have the power to protect his gf or baby, so it was better than he did not know. Still, I don't think that's a valid reason to hit him and be mean to him. The husband seems down to earth and nice.

I also agree that the mom should have a lengthy convo with her daughter and explain everything about her dad. It's not like a random guy she's taking interest in... it's the daughter's dad, so she should know the details. At the end of the day, the mom should have the freedom to choose to be with the dad or not since the daughter is already old enough. So even if the mom explains to the daughter about the past, and the daughter doesn't accept, the mom should still do what she wants. I think that the daughter is overly sensitive bc her mom is being chased by the killer, so that's why she's over the top a bit with the new bf (who is the dad), since he was lurking around and was sus at first.

Sakaru Aug 02 2023 2:20 am gonna be terribly honest , I dislike Jin Hee's mom. She's truly selfish and neglects her daughter's feelings and opinions. It's clear Jin Hee doesn't want to associate with her stranger father, yet she is forcing her just cuz she wants to date her first love. How selfish.

Milkshake Aug 01 2023 8:56 pm I love Jinhee and Jinsoo's relationship. They're practically siblings at this point. I would ship them if Jaewon wasn't already there. I hope the writers don't form a loveline between them.

Gu Aug 01 2023 5:50 pm Spoiler

Schoolboy asking for the cap could be the 1.

Chibi Aug 01 2023 7:10 am Hwaiting soo young

Chibi Aug 01 2023 7:09 am Hwaiting soo young

Epping Aug 01 2023 7:08 am Soo young very good act... i hope take another drama

Poppy Jul 31 2023 5:51 pm Is jin hee a mental case? Why she jumps to arrest everyone and starts assaulting the suspect as well as her colleagues. Not 1 case since drama started she has handled it well. Very irritating character.

Staying around for massager mom only both for acting and character.

Also i dont know but how can strong man like jin hong get beat up by another old ahjumma.

kajja Jul 25 2023 10:05 am wowoowowowowo

Mao Jul 21 2023 8:54 pm For everyone asking, she got demoted not because she did anything wrong but to please the press/ media. They explained it in episode 1, try watching it again so you can understand better, I may not be right either. There was this problem in their station regarding nepotism and if I'm correct she got involved in one of the cases and the higher-ups didn't really like what she did.

Glory surprise Jul 21 2023 11:50 am I'm surprised no one commented on how two Glory actor/actress is in this show. When I saw her I was like, damn she looks familiar and I came here to look her up and there she is...

Kathy g Jul 18 2023 3:47 pm Spoilers

I agree the writers could have done a better job explaining her demotion. It appeared to be a PR thing, but they could have written it a bit tighter.

Lead actresses are doing a great job. Their portrayal of the two characters has me hooked.

Zoeyy Jul 18 2023 3:38 pm I love the mother and daughter vibe that they got going on, they are more like best friends which is fresh when it comes to k-dramas

Woahhhh Jul 17 2023 6:25 pm Okay so on 1st episode. My issue is with how jin hee's entire workplace thing is shown it is making no sense to a viewer. First there is an abduction case, then suddenly something happens at her work, why is she demoted, her issue with jae won shown so far wasn't detailed enough to feel convicned she should avoid him like a monster. Like atleast give more of the background forher to be afraid of him,but that is a small complaint, main complain is entire protrayal of everything hapoening at her workplace to even now the issues she has at her current station. It is as if either writers didn't write it well or the drama editor was sleep deprived so he edited an entire mess.

Now coming to rest of the show, i think the show is very good because actress playing mother is freaking and like freaking good she is making every moment of her scenes worth a watch.

Overall the show writing is fun from her mom masterbaiting to the horny old woman at massage centre, it is all fun humor.

It felt bad how a good show's few parts were messed up due to poor editing or writing or whatever, but leaving thay aside overall show is extremely good, really hope it stays true to itself. Does this show also have 8 episodes? 16 episodes are a must.

Aimen Jul 17 2023 9:05 am I'm soooo excited...

Devid Jun 23 2023 12:58 am Hwaiting nuna

Errica Lim Mar 15 2023 11:40 pm Can't wait for my man from glory, bad boy / heart throb Park Sung Hoon. Can't wait to see his charms in a different light.
