Seo Kang-Joo (Kim Jung-Hyun) is the son of the wealthiest family in the Cheongryeom neighborhood. He works as a senior director of the Jiseung Group. 8 years ago, Seo Kang-Joo and Lee Da-Rim attended the same university. Prior to enlisting in the military, he had an unforgettable experience with Lee Da-Rim.

Now, Seo Kang-Joo reunites with Lee Da-Rim and gets involved with her. Since she was in her teens, Lee Da-Rim's eyesight has deteriorated and she had limited vision.

Comments

seizy Oct 16 2025 12:14 am I just finished watching this, and i feel grateful for everyone who contribute to this drama because it is one of the excellent drama i ever watch. Thanks for your hardwork everyone, this is insanely great drama.

This drama is so entertaining and yet very heartwarming. I love the flow of this drama and also each of character growth is so amazing. It's well written and balance.

Would give a standing ovation for this drama.

Dan May 23 2025 3:43 am I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't miss the chemistry between the leads, although I would have liked them to have more romantic moments together because I feel like their charm together was a bit wasted. But I understand that was the tone of the show. Still, I'd like to congratulate the entire team responsible for it. Iron Family is a great, warm, and entertaining comedy, and every performance had me on the edge of my seat. Anyone who wants to see a long-running, heartwarming comedy shouldn't miss this show; it's brilliant!

Lihan May 03 2025 3:05 am They dated in real life or why did they look at each other with so much love?

California Feb 10 2025 1:32 am Just finished watching this drama and I agree with the previously posted positive statements about this drama and the stars from it. Here are my additional opinions.

All of the actors and actresses were excellent in their respective roles. The writer and director were both excellent in their production of this drama.

All of them deserve a toast for their performances, which cheerfully entertained us for several months. Definitely wished that the drama was longer.

Both Kim Jung-Hyun and Keum Sae-Rok were exquisitely superb and gave outstanding performances worthy of their individual and couples awards.

I would like to also give extra attention and credit to both Kim Young-Ok and Park In-Hwan, who gave magnificent performances, and who demonstrated an epitome of what grandmas and grandpas should be like (such as altruism, positive role models, patience and generosity).

For them, I would like to give them a standing ovation with a glass of champagne and cheer them on for their outstanding contributions. And, give them an honorary couples award. Bravos!

In various sports, coaches have a term, Impact Player, they used for a person who spreads exemplary performance on the selected sport, and who almost singlehandedly helps win games. I nominate Kim Hye-Eun as the "Impact Champion" in this drama. Although her role was to play a “just” nasty character, she performed marvelously switching from that unforgiving character to a remorseful person effortlessly and convincingly.

Without her outstanding portrayal of basically a blithely narcissist to her transformation into a somewhat reasonable person, this drama wouldn’t have a gaudy villainess to balance the goodness of the drama.

Looking forward to seeing the actresses and actors in more dramas in the future.

Daeun Feb 06 2025 12:32 pm I will miss this drama and the cast. I need this to be a 100 episodes drama but they gave us 36 but still the best!! The best long drama I've ever watched. Hoping for another gem like this in the future. Whoever the writer of this drama is a genius!!

lyhns00 Feb 03 2025 11:02 am I love this drama especially Seo Gangju. He and the grandparents totally carried this drama. I love the ending so much, at first I thought there's no way Baek Ji Yeon would get away with the money that easily when she's guilty of taxes evading. She finally gave up the money for Gangju.

I love the narrative that Jiyeon's father left the money for his daughter and she also gave up the money for her son. The grandparents at first stole the money to help their daughter inlaw made living. Ko Bong Hee also stole the money for Darim's eye surgery. This drama centered around the money but always them cared for others not their own.

Finally Jiyeon gave up the money for Gangju is the best closure for the drama but so far she only donated one and agreed for another one. I also think she will continue to do that. She's the best character I think, shameless yet realest.

Michele Feb 02 2025 10:07 pm One of the best KBS Saturday/Sunday dramas in a long time. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Cathy Jan 30 2025 10:18 pm One of the best dramas ever. The story was unique, I cannot fathom how someone thought of it. The acting was superb and the chemistry between characters was real. Every award won was well deserved.

Nimi Jan 28 2025 4:43 am Another of my favorite drama has ended. Thanks to all the casts and production team. A very great and fun drama

Janey Jan 27 2025 2:27 am I have never watched a long-running drama before Iron Family.. and these past 18 weekends have brought pure joy. Everything from the performance of the cast, cinematography, soundtrack - so beautiful and addicting. Top notch. I wish there would be a sequel - Iron Family 2 ❤❤❤ Thank you all production team for creating this awesome drama! Hope you can reunite for another great project!

Acriddrop Jan 26 2025 8:41 pm I really loved and enjoyed this one, but I wish they had made the ending more detailed. For almost two decades, I have been constantly bothered by it again and again, coz the series are often very detailed, many things happen, many main chars are introduced in the series, but towards the end everything is done very quickly and a lot is left out.

Everything always seems very rushed. Oh, f***, we're already in the last episode go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go!

Jillibean Jan 26 2025 6:12 pm Lots of awards for this family melodrama and if you watch it you'll know why. :)

Rosalie Jan 26 2025 5:53 pm Thank you for the best week-end drama Ever. Great writing and superb cast. Never smiled or laughed so much; thoroughly entertaining. Enjoyed the fact that it was just the right amount of episodes, I hope KBS gets the hint.

Ella Jan 26 2025 3:10 pm After so many dissappointing moments, at least its happy ending.. (Even though i wished to see more happy moment for gang ju)

@Totallytwisted hope the next drama will be more interesting, enjoyable..

Mbokne Sapi Jan 26 2025 3:05 pm @Thea @Kristine Agree!!!! I hate Ji Yeon the rich bit**, Yoon the chief, Hae Ja the maid, and sometimes Mr Ji too. I don't even like Gang Joo, Cha Rim, Moo Rim and Mi Yeon LOL. But i enjoy the story i watch this drama coz the eldery, Bong Hee and Tae Woong Why the eldery have to go to jail? Mr Ji and Tae Woong can't find good lawyer? They can have probation or something, right?!

Kristine, is Korean helooo, i think that's why most of genZ there don't want to married and having child anymore

Cleanwash Jan 26 2025 7:58 am Why is rich lady so upset when she got back her money. Her son worked hard to make up for the difference and came up with a plan to save both mothers. I hate police chief most...bad boss and lousy mom.

Totallytwisted Jan 25 2025 7:33 pm @Ella,Thank you I don't care for the Writer As Well.

   The Writer does a great injustice to the South Korean Legal system and social justice for elderly people.

    Next Drama.....

Ella Jan 25 2025 3:31 pm What a messssssss.. I hate the writer

Kristine Jan 25 2025 12:16 pm If laundry mom confessed before midnight to taking the money from the mountain they would have arrested loan shark daughter within the time frame. The son burying the money saved both moms by getting her a lawyer and burying the money.

Kristine Jan 23 2025 11:37 pm There is a statute of limitations on crimes. Which is why she waited until 1/1 to report the money missing. I don’t know why they don’t charge the family for lying to police about the theft.

If the lawyer had not stopped the laundry mom from confessing they could have arrested tax evader mom in the allotted time. Even found the money on her. She would have owed 13 million and gone to prison. Briefly. This is Korea after all. So the son helped her by no returning the money to her but to the mom.

Clearly they will get the love capital people in the end. So the laundry family off the hook and maybe even ex wife off the hook, or she will die in the process of it all.

Why is a woman divorced and a contract signed with him owning the house still in the house?

Chairman, stepson and elder grandparents awesome. Everyone else is okay or just unlikeable.

And the grandson at 12 expecting 2K a month tuition as if it is the one way to be a doctor and the food guy chastising mom over being real will the kid. I know it is Korea but seriously? Even ex husband has some reality going on. The country is nuts. You know a grade on a math test has nothing to do with how many answers are correct. It’s a rank system. Say there are 100 in the 10th grade. 4 student get rank 1. That is 100%. 7 students get rank 2 that is 96% and above. 12 student get rank 3. That is 95%. You could get an 80% and fail with a rank 7-9. If she just invested in Samsung for 10 years 24K each year of school then nothing in college by the time 30 would have enough hundreds of thousands.

Windi Jan 23 2025 9:29 pm I love the story, and I even don't want it to stop at 36 hahahaha I want to see Da Rim Happy family I want to see all the happy faces like in Revolutionary Sisters

Nimi Jan 22 2025 2:23 am This is operation pack the whole family?? lmaoooo I can’t wait to finish this First time im following a drama this long

Thea Jan 20 2025 1:59 pm Wow! How can Ji Yeon tell Bong Hee and family to pack up and move because she do not want to see their face, who do she think she is (one spoil bit**), they did not know that the money they took from the mountain belong to her, she is a really angry bit**and is not their fault she being called out for not paying taxes on the money (which she should) and I hold the guy from the lending services get her really good, since she ratted him out to the bank he work with.

Monaliza Jan 20 2025 12:24 am It'll be weird for the drama to end w/o them being arrested & just getting away with it, I wonder what will be the verdict though, & the true ending, like idk, a time lapse after they paid for their crimes. So sad for Murim, coz even if the theft is pardon (money returned, or idk what other technicalities they pull), he can't be a cop anymore, his marriage is also ruined, while the rest of his siblings will be able to move on with their partners.

How about the tax evader? Will she really get Scot free besides the ostracized by the society, she will still not pay tax, still get away with a crime.

I think love capital will succeed in stealing the money, that'll probably be her true penalty. Also, I understand how she feels betrayed by his son, but she's not being criticized coz of his son & the theft family, but because she decided to keep the money & evade tax. If it was other thieves, she probably won't ever get the money back, coz she didn't report it sooner.

Anyways, the CEO & his bio son are useless characters in my opinion. They're frustrating outside all these plot around the money.

Scott Jan 19 2025 10:51 pm Finding money is not a crime. Maybe they should have reported it, but so what. The worse that should happen is paying taxes.

Ella Jan 19 2025 2:59 pm @sf.. Well said about gang su's mom.. She is the worst

sf Jan 19 2025 2:59 pm sequel: Lee Cha-Rim, most of the time, and Yoon Mi-Ok, always, other annoying characters. The drama had good parts too but for me the annoying parts were more. I'm glad that it ends soon and I hope the next drama will be more relaxing.

Ella Jan 19 2025 2:53 pm Super annoying chief police and gang su's mom.. What does the writer had on her mind, to make chaos in the last few episodes.. Arrrggghhhh, so upsetting.. Poor gang su, he is the victim from every aspects

sf Jan 19 2025 2:40 pm Because of Kim Jung-Hyun and Keum Sae-Rok, I watched this drama. At rest, most of the characters were too annoying starting with the two very old grandparents who should have been better on European vacations. At first, I considered Kang-Joo's mother silly but toward the end of the drama she demonstrated she was a bad and stupid person. I feel sorry for her husband who has tolerated her for many years. A negative aspect was the continuous presence of the little girl among the adults, most of them being strangers, listening to their conversation. It should be adults with adults and children with children. Lee Mi-Yeon character was Baek Ji-Yeon copy. Lee Cha-Rim, most of the time, and Yoon Mi-Ok,, allwais

WowDrama Jan 19 2025 12:50 pm 2 more esp and it has been entertaining and fun to watch a family drama in the New Year 2025.

The police Yoon Mi-Ok and her daughter both love their jobs more then having a man in their family. Strange story telling about money and Loan stark daughter and power.

  What did I learn about this drama and story, Education is a key to spiritual health and wealth.

Kristine Jan 19 2025 11:55 am The money thing should really be a misunderstanding cleared up quickly.

The son could not let the mother admit to finding and using the money on the mountain cause then they could charge his mom within the 15 year statue of limitation. And she could go to prison for that eventually. It basically stops the times up clock. So he was doing her a favor delaying the police finding out until after the statute of limitations up.

What is more important in Korea image or money?

They had a lot of other money besides this stash. Was it sentimental?

Kat Jan 18 2025 3:29 pm Better than Happy Marriage. The acting is better on this one and I love seeing Kim Young Ok in anything she's the cutest

Kristine Jan 17 2025 1:46 am I’m really getting irritated at Tae Woong’s character how can he punch Mu Rim? The writer did the actor wrong.

Kristine Jan 13 2025 11:42 am The mother is in possession of stolen money. Police chief doing her job.

Only in Kdramaland can a women who didn’t finish college, worked in a dry cleaners and sold juice become a secretary at a conglomerate but quit after a few months only to tell a MBA who worked in the field for many years he isn’t charging enough for a shirt or coat. Even after going against his instructions earlier resulted in disaster.

Why could she not say to his mom they are working together? There are boxes everywhere.

shiela Jan 11 2025 10:51 am Congratulations for winning in the 2024 KBS Drama Awards - Kim Jung-Hyun, Park Ji-Young, Shin Hyun-Joon, Keum Sae-Rok, Seo Sook-Hyang, Choi Tae-Joon and Kim Hye-Eun.

LB Jan 06 2025 4:38 pm I really was going to drop it after 23/24. Glad I stick to it and Glad auntie came to her senses. And I wished the whole cast would have communicated a bit more with each other. but anyways, cause the last episodes really got interesting. I hope they finish it up quick.

HULAROCK Jan 06 2025 1:48 am Its getting better and better.. yikes keep watching its great.

GreatWD Jan 05 2025 4:54 pm Great Christmas and New Year's Drama. Condolences for the South Korean families and people in the Airplane incident.

Where did the lawyer come from Great Idea, Mother will need protection from her in-law police Captain.

hooray for two men that are helping the family.

Debby wijaya Dec 30 2024 11:06 pm Of all the dramas I've seen, I think The Iron Family is the best and most enjoyable. Because this drama is not boring when it comes to family relationships and love stories. Actor Kim Jung-hyun delicately expressed a variety of emotions in the KBS2 Drama "Iron Family", leaving a deep impression on the heart of the audience. In particular, his acting skills, without any lines and using only his eyes and facial expressions to convey emotions, have been praised by many people.

Regarding sex in the story, please don't think too much about it. this is just a drama not reality

Kristine Dec 30 2024 9:56 pm Why do her grandparents and mother matter but not his mom and sudden disappearance of 6-10 million USD. Neither should have had..

The money is a burden not a blessing, after the surgery.

I like the grandparents. I like the ML and I like the chairman. Everyone else, no.

Why must that kid study at a pre med academy? Why does such a thing exist?

Kristine Dec 30 2024 9:54 pm Blind does not mean vulnerable.

They were studying together. He was leaving for a leave of absence for mandatory military. That is a 2-3 year commitment and then he would return to studies.

Bom? Just wondering?

Rostos Dec 30 2024 10:36 am @kb ml lead and fl knew each other. They were in the same club in college, both grown up men n female why it is such big deal for Em to sleep together. The fl Lead also want to slept with any man cause she want to fell it at least once. So blind woman cant sleep with normal guy, and normal Guy who sleep with blind woman is no moral and desprate. please rewatch it before talk,

Nimi Dec 30 2024 6:50 am @kb the ml and fl didn’t meet on street madam decency. they were in the same club in college and fl was a fan of his writing. She also said she wanted to have sex with just any man but she thinks he is a good person because his novels was warm and portrayed him well. And the fl always helped her cross whenever he meets her on the road. That was why she chooses him to have sex with.

Probably the Ml also thought she was not bad and that was why he agreed. No one took advantage of anyone.

Da rim might be blind but she was not an imbecile and she was old enough to know what she want.

Kiki Dec 30 2024 12:28 am Everyone's incriminated it's so stupidly funny. Even the police son, I know he's trying to protect the family but it will be very bad for him since he already knew and stalled. It was really stupid of them to do that w/o considering the son and what he said, like it's not common to sleep under a bed of money w/o guilt (or fear that the money is dirty & someone other the police will find it, w/c is dangerous)

But outside the stolen money, some other character are behaving poorly. I hate the CEO dad, I don't think he really cared for his step son. Also why is Cha Tae Woong shipping Bong Hee who's like her mom to his dad when he's clearly a bad partner, and still a bad dad, like what, I know they're trying to build a relationship but still, if he would assess his dad as a person, he wouldn't have ask him to date Bong Hee.

The girl child actress doesn't get screentime anymore, idk why. But the grandma is also unfair to think the son-in-law can't be in a relationship again. Is it only because she doesn't like her, or she wouldn't like any woman at all?

marimo Dec 28 2024 9:51 pm @KB im agree with you if the case was completely stranger, but theyre not. Theyre in the same year in college and know each other. And the FL somehow was a fan of ML writings and vise versa.

HULAROCK Dec 28 2024 2:45 pm It's entertainment.

I have seen worst dramas. ..  with blood, abuse etc. I am watching till the end.

Geoff Dec 24 2024 11:29 pm @KB My wife and I are in total agreement with you! The lackadaisical attitude people have towards common decency and morals is concerning. We watched this drama unfold, the main male lead and the blind female lead did have sex, after meeting at a street corner crosswalk. The FL seemingly initiated it. But, as you suggested just because she asked, does it make it right that the ML seemingly without hesitation does have sex with her? From that episode on, this seemingly innocuous sexual encounter is treated lightly and without denigration from anyone. The male lead is feted with admiration and praise. My wife and I are in utter disbelief that a man would 'take advantage' of a desperate woman like this.

Tom Dec 23 2024 1:17 am Darims mom out on lipstick ? to throw herself to the chair but badmouthing his ex wife was so low of her, I hate how she and the grandparents are so self righteous yet they sleep on stolen money. At this rate I hope the writers have something up their sleeve cause the show is now annoying

Jani Dec 23 2024 12:29 am Is picking up (well, I guess digging up) money (an insane amount) considered stealing? I guess if they didn't know who owns it, but the grandparents knew who buried it there, and then knew he died. Is this going to be their loophole?

And will the mom eventually evade taxes and not get punished due to statute of limitations?

I know stealing money is bad, but if only the mother & grandparents didn't get greedy and took only the amount for the eye surgery, they wouldn't live anxiously since they took it & probably wouldn't be involved w/ the investigation (or not, they'll probably trace the money they paid in the hospital but still)

Greed is a scary thing

WowDrama Dec 22 2024 10:09 pm Oh My Goodness goody two shoes police son.....No no no are you really going to arrest you Mother.

What a A.....of a son.......??????

Iron fan Dec 22 2024 7:31 am @ brenda Ya it looks the same as Real Has Come which I gave up watching heheheh. I also checked and can confirm the house is exactly the same as that in Never Give Up.

Ana Dec 21 2024 10:42 pm I wonder how will the drama end because surely a lot of people did illegal things, different degrees but still, it's a crime + accessories to the crime.

And now the police son found out. When I was watching running man where they promoted, they were shocked by the plot especially it's a weekend family drama, so I don't think the thieves & tax evasion will be left unpunished, but how will they get there, plus get to the typical happy ending.

Of course I found the plot ridiculous so beside that, what annoys me more is the dad who's trying to be in good terms w/ his biological son, while casting out his other son (idk, was he formally adopted, probably not coz he didn't change his surname), bio son after being so proud, also just accepts the position. The company directors also accepting him (I thought he'll start from the ground since he doesn't have any previous related experience, or degree). And I'm not siding w/ anyone, but it's just so funny, the irony.

Also, if only the mom & grandparents knew why she's trying to sell the clothes left by previous customers, again, the irony of stealing someone else's money but taking pride of their clean work.

Kat Dec 21 2024 6:03 pm I'm glad she got caught but I can't deal with her for ever how many more episodes..in fact I will wait till the last three episodes to finish watching ?? i SO need a good drama for the weekends! PLEASE give us a good one

Lizi Dec 16 2024 11:31 pm I started watching because of the cast list. The first episode the story is interesting, but as the episodes progress I start to get tired of following the drama. The characters are very annoying, only Moorim's character is the best here. Especially Chae Rim's character is very bad and even worse Tae Wong still has feelings for Chae Rim. I've watched 24 episodes and I don't think I can continue anymore.

LB Dec 16 2024 3:28 pm This drama really gets on my last nerve it get more annoying as it proceeds. The Grandparents and the mother spending like crazy, darim being an spoiled brat and Charim who thinks the world revolve around her. And the mother of gang ju who is just like a whinny baby is cringe.

I usually don’t drop dramas, but this drama with them cringe and stubborn characters makes this drama almost unwatchable.

Hazee Dec 15 2024 11:38 pm I think ill stop watch until episod 23 its annoy me much ok Tq so much

Brenda Dec 15 2024 10:59 pm @ Iron Fan - i think the house was also used in The Real Has Come drama.

sf Dec 15 2024 11:39 am The only character who acted adequately in the situation was Nam Ki-Doong, who confronted his mother-in-law's stupidity regarding his relations with Lee Mi-Yeon. His gestures and words were on point. The rest of them acted foolish. Da Rim cried because a 90-year-old man, Seo Kang-Joo returned all the money, the big sister started to steal the money etc. I started to feel tired of all of them, especially of the grandparents.

Iron fan Dec 15 2024 7:48 am The Ji house looked familiar...was used in Never Give Up drama.

HULAROCK Dec 11 2024 3:58 am Wish they would show more of the grandparents and Mom. They are the hit of the show. If everything else makes you annoyed watch forthat. I guess that gal Darim has her sight back and she's stuck in time. Mom got stolen money which was stolen and she she calling everyone else a thief. Hahaha. Such craziness.

Nimi Dec 09 2024 12:42 pm It’s beginning to annoy me. Your parents stole money yet you don’t want it returned? The chairman and his son reuniting after everything gang ju did is so pathetic and not good at all. I don’t mind them reuniting but cutting gang ju off over what? Da rim is so stupid and gullible and it’s starting to annoy me. Cha rim is just so annoying from the beginning and tae woong will be a fool to accept her again. Overall I don’t think I can continue watching without fast forwarding it. I’m so upset everybody just Dey mumu.

moon Dec 04 2024 7:15 pm I have no idea why the author's portrayal of the male protagonist was so pathetic

Brenda Dec 02 2024 9:07 am I think the scenes where the grandpa, grandma and mother were handcuffed are just a dream.

I am Nov 29 2024 11:51 pm I give this drama ⭐⭐ At first few epis seems okay but I do not think I can finish the other episodes, Da rim attitude baby like annoys me so much. Why is she being so ignorant of all people around her. Not a good to watch for so.much a inconsistency stories that does not add up to the drama.

sf Nov 27 2024 3:46 am Yang Hye-Ji and her characters make me agitated. I didn't like her in "Bad Memory Erasure," where she intervened unexpectedly in others' conversations. Here, she is crazy for money and shows a very individualist attitude. I do not like her at all.

Kristine Nov 25 2024 1:27 pm I’m on episode 5 and no hint of amnesia. Could this be the next Five Children, My Golden Life, etc…!

Kristine Nov 24 2024 2:41 pm What does BIL giving wife’s SIL on her side 30M have anything to do with her receiving alimony?

Iron fan Nov 23 2024 7:19 am Episode 13: the police "escort" home scene was hilarious when the old folks' guilty conscience exploded.

Jamse Nov 18 2024 11:08 pm It’s refreshing how the greedy older sister does Not go for the rich love interest of the heroine, and instead seems to consider him to be some kind of annoying bug.

LSY Nov 18 2024 10:30 am Have like to watch her acting ever since the Fiery Priest and Youth of May.

Seun Nov 11 2024 1:57 am currently watching up to episode 10 and i eager to say that watching this drama brings back memories of old kind of family kdramas. i always loved watching kbs weekend family drama, with all the room studio, house studio, office studio and even street studio. and its been a while since i last watched this genre and i am glad that this drama came out.

but i dont like how quick the writer makes the mother and grandparents characters to quickly think the money are theirs. they have been showing an annoying attitude since they took all the money and acting bad to Seo Gang Ju for accidently burning down the laundry even thats the grandmother's fault at first.

additionally, the character Lee Da Rim also seems to be too childish despite her age is around Gang Ju.

but of all, the storyline has been quite ok and hopefully it wont drop down to be boring soon.

recommended!!!!!

Amy Nov 11 2024 12:24 am The rich guy tellingTaeung “I understand you’re my son,(throws down dna test results) there in is your moms phone number…tell her this changes nothing” and then walks away in slow motion was so cold but also jaw droppingly cool??? could never hate him, those lines made my day!

Amy Nov 11 2024 12:20 am The male lead is always in well written epic dramas, I’m currently rewatching High School 2017 and it still feels so refreshing. Can’t wait for the next episode of IronFamily..so well written and the actors are amazing, nice story line❤️

Quinn Ma Eum Nov 06 2024 1:03 pm I think this is my first morning drama ever that I can't wait for the next episodes. I love the story, the actors, the soundtrack. And I can't describe how I was so nervous about how the grandparents' decided to brought the money bag home, finally. And how Darim got operation for her eyes. Love how their chemistry's built up, actually I Miss Kim Jung Hyun in a good drama. Still remember his last drama with Im Soo Hyang, that was good but not good enough, kinda boring. But this one is excelent. Can't wait for the end of story.

Scott Oct 27 2024 11:54 pm Watched the first few episodes and my wife and I are in love with the older couple. It is nice that they call each other their other half. They only make us hope that when we reach their age we will be just like them.

Aside from them the mother is a stand out character. While we aren’t sure about Park Shin-A’s husband, we wonder his background in the drama. Why is he working at the dry cleaners? He apparently owns a building.

Kristine Oct 27 2024 11:48 am Watched part of first episode. Like some of the actors, not all in other things. I am guessing the dad had vision loss as well as was too depressed or afraid to share and they kept pummeling money into him? Then he died. Suicide maybe? ‘Illness’ may have been a cover. Please tell me no amnesia..

samjay Oct 26 2024 2:00 pm OK this drama seems to be interesting can't wait for the next Episode

Nimi Oct 24 2024 6:34 am This show always makes me laugh,first time I’m watching a show as long as this while it’s still running

BUHALLA Oct 23 2024 5:41 am The Elders are a trip! They make it. Also Mom Ko I could feel her pain and anxiety. Great so far. I.am hooked

Day Oct 22 2024 10:47 pm It's a long-term drama i found interesting after once again

Hadey Oct 21 2024 12:15 pm The old couples are killing it ? lmaoooo Their chemistry is giving Ngl for real

Princess James Oct 21 2024 9:51 am Boring, boring , boring Dragging, dragging, dragging

Nquintela Oct 20 2024 9:44 pm I like the main couple, specially the ML. However, so far, he hasn’t been seeing much. There is too much dialogue from the grandparents, which is getting boring. Also don’t care much for the secondary actors and their stories. I hope this changes and we start seeing more of the main couple.

I was looking forward having them goin to the movies in episode 7, but it was ruined by inserting the third wheel. It was disappointed and a bit stupid.

Am I a lone in thinking that the guy that plays the Chairman is a bit weird? Just find him spooky!

Dmm Oct 17 2024 6:09 pm Da Rim's siblings sure are self centered snobs!

Nelly Oct 14 2024 3:19 am Why did the big guy suddenly die ? Did I miss anything ?

Steve Oct 13 2024 8:51 pm Two noticeable problems with this drama after a few episodes: 1) it has a soapy, melodramatic feel; and 2) and the characters are too frequently yelling at each other

sf Oct 13 2024 12:46 am Until now the FL character has been pretty annoying.

GreatWD Oct 12 2024 2:28 pm Everyone taking it out on the Blind sister and mother. WWow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Es elle Oct 10 2024 1:47 pm I am on the first episode and this drama is already tugging on my heart strings. I have a feeling this will be a good one…! There are wholesome moments along with some comedy.

YEETMANIA Oct 08 2024 9:45 pm maybe this one will become GOAT series of KBS2 in 2024 -2025

Teta Mica Oct 06 2024 6:29 pm This Kdrama Is A New Classic In The Making it has amazing characters and acting and is filmed in an amazing way

it is truely a great piece of art

The twists, the comedy, the contrasts, ... is So Good, and dialogues and self talk, so we can see how the characters honestly try to go through their day and so it is love warmth fun as well as grief sadness danger .... and lots of comedy..... lots :) and the music matches action, in a comical way...

and it is visually appealing as costuming is superb

the main female lead is blind so yeah she is physically helpless and she is also poor but she is also very powerful as a person, very strong, and very graceful and warm, and the actress is extremely beautiful. The main male lead is handsome rich business person but also a good person and a confused clumzy young male who does try to be honest and good, and he is super comical character too

Overall - this kdrama is 10 stars as an amazing creative rich artwork

GreatWD Sep 28 2024 8:48 pm 36 esp Great and Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anything is better than the last Drama. Let's get it Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
