Comments

Emily Oct 22 2025 4:33 pm I'm quite disappointed how the the story just ended without conclusion on season 3 for Love ft. Marriage & Divorce. To be honest, I love the show but also quite thrown aback when it ended without a resolution. If the story would have continued, is there at least some relief or alleviation on the sad ending for Dong Ma and Pi-Young?

Ella Apr 05 2025 5:04 am Durian's Affair season 2 please!! Now I have a new favourite writer after the Hong Sisters. I'm so impatient of such a cliffhanger.

Renwa Dec 06 2023 11:59 pm Ditto relative to previous comments. We got so invested in the characters in LMD and just got left hanging. Clearly a multifaceted decision related to many factors but from the viewers perspective, we were abandoned. Not nice, irrrsponsible.

tanya elkafrawy Oct 27 2023 10:13 am please, please, please give us a season 4 please do not just leave it as is with grim reapers and these wonderful women in labor. those 2 ladies of the group deserve happiness. in our groups we talk about wanting to get an ending to the chapter of season 3 if u only gave us 8 pts to season 4? if they finalize what happens in these womens lives we will be satisfied. please dont leave us fans hanging.

Sofia Gakopoulos Aug 14 2023 7:50 am I absolutely beg of you for season two of the Durian Affair. You can’t have strung us along like that for 16 episodes only to leave us hanging like that!

Please God let there be a season two.

Lucky Aug 06 2023 8:02 pm Okay. I knew there was a connection with Love ft. marriage & divorce and looked it up to confirm that it is Bu the same writer. Please give us more seasons of Durian’s Affair! Praying for a season 2 so we can see more love development between Dan Meung and So Jeo and what will happen between DuRian and Chi Gam.

Please give us season 2 of DuRian’s Affair! Love the cast and I’ve grown attached to the this family!

N Jul 23 2023 8:05 am I knew it same writer durian drama n marriage and divorce drama.... I get the feeling and instinct.. and totally right after I checked in this web. Omg I totally love durian drama.. there something about your work writer pd nim.. omg.. line story so great, and something

Gina vc Jul 09 2023 11:26 am As i watch Durian's affair it reminds me of love marriage and divorce because of the long dialogue between the artists. And i was right you're the same writer. Kudos job well done.

March May 18 2023 11:29 am Dear Beloved Screen Writer, Please kindly write season 4 for love marriage and divorce because the plot was so playfull and awesome. Until this time, we still waiting for a new season. Please continued for the story. Maybe its hard to thinking about the plot in season 4 but takes the time. We just need the ending of this playfull story.. thank you..

Temmy Feb 24 2023 11:52 pm Dear writer please we need season 4 for closure and please do not kill Seo Ban please and please he deserve true happiness. I beg again nothing should happen to Seo Ban, you can find love in the 50s. I love Seo ban and si eun so much. Their love story is therapeutic. Please season 4 is needed please

Soda Jan 16 2023 12:04 pm Dear writer I do love -Love ft Marriage and Divorce all season. I wish to have season4 and please give them a happy ending and It necessary to have grim reaper in this kind of drama. For justice Dong Ma has nothing bad as Yu-Sin so please let him live and have a happy ending with his family . It will be no more interested drama if he ‘s dead. Love Dong Ma and Pi-Young the most ❤️

Jennifer Oct 17 2022 7:27 pm Please don't let Dong-ma die, Pi-young deserves a happy life, Ji-a and Dangdang as well. what Dong-ma did to Ga-bin was no where as bad as what she did to Si-eun and her children, then she dumped Park, Why can't the Seo men see her true colours. Ga-bin only cares for herself and what she wants, she had years to show Dong-ma she could be a goid wife and she failed. Doctor Shin well nothing nice to say about him he and the self centered Ga-bin would make a good pair. A mi, another one who only cares about herself, lazy and tries at every chance to make other women look bad. Shin once said she didn't have a big mouth, wrong she has a nasty big mouth...both she and Dictor need a good taste of karma......

Dianne May 12 2022 7:22 pm I am absolutely miserable that lfmd season has ended. Please hurry up with s4. I need DongMa to live and be happy with PiYoung. I need A Mi to get dumped and go back to the states. Yusin to still pine over PiYoung and his big mistake to cheat. Seo Ban and hold Seo family to be happy and healthy. Please hurry with s4. Bring Lee Tae Gon back as Yusin. Love this drama but please eliminate the ghost. Let all the dead ppl stay dead. ❤️

elirose May 11 2022 8:10 pm hello to our beloved screen writer of love ft marriage and divorce. i want to ask you if there is season 4 ? because there aremany scenes there areunfinished. like dong ma's accident , piyoung is giving birth to dangdang. please make season 4 we need closure to that drama. thank you..you are talented. take care always!!

ROSE May 06 2022 7:31 am Please soon season 4 And please bring back Lee Tae Gon be Yushin I can not wait so long for season 4 and so far i like your drama Love Marriage Divorce.

Fangirlmama Apr 18 2022 12:46 pm Writer-nim!!! Thank you so much for Seo Dong Ma and Sa Pi Young love story!!! Please give them a happy ending with each other and Ji-a too..Thank you for Si Eun and Seo Ban too. The couple we didn't we needed,. Very healing! Please end s3 with not so may loose ends. (I will loose my mind waitign for S4! Hahaha.. Hoping that s4 will focus on Seo Brothers marriage life and the cheaters miserable life! But why did Bada's mom had to die? Their love story is great. Huhu...Thank you for a great series! More seasons please. I don't want it to end truly! Thank you! Sana all Sa Pi Young.. Sana all may Seo Dong Ma! Hahaha.. Love Sa Piyoung, Si Eun and Hyanggi's characters full of wisdom!

Dianne Apr 15 2022 6:37 am LFMD has been at the top of my all time favorite drama list. I was disappointed with season 2 ,episode 16 . Now in season 3 I feel the drama is getting back on track. Actually, I wouldn’t mind a season 4 if it focused on the Seo brothers marriage to PiYoung and Sieun and the destruction of Yusin and Professor Park. I hope the two ladies get the happiness they deserve starting out with pregnancies for both. I hope PiYoung tames DongMa and he continues to cherish her and Jia. Please give us justice by making Yusin continue to obsess over PiYoung. (That he so easily cheated on and disregarded his marriage). A spin-off of Love Marriage and Divorce would also be great focusing on the brothers families.

littlepinky Apr 14 2022 12:40 am dear screenwriter , wow!!! , 46 minutes less 37:10-38:11ep 6 of Season 3Love ft Marriage was all for PiYoung and DongMa. straightforward convincing scenes by DongMa.I wish i am in the shoes of Piyoung

Anh Minh Dec 17 2021 1:19 am I saw this film just because the chemistry of Rora and Mama but the writer turned the end into that way made me very angry and disappointed, I felt so so unequal for Mama too much, actually his situation was so poor, he lost his parents and had a very difficult childhood, despite living with his sis but it was not as good as living with parents, and I felt Mama's love and sympathy he paid to Rora clearly, he is kind of person want to be loved and live for love. Idk why the writer had to pay so much attention to Seol hee and supported him too much. Anyway Mama was the main cast, she should be towards to him and explore his character deeper. I felt very disappointed to this writer although I used to like her from New tales of Gisaeng

LZW Nov 02 2021 3:39 pm I hope you can make a show with all the actors and actresses from Apgujeong Midnight Sun and Princess Aurora with Kang Eun Tak , Park Ha Na , Baek Ok Dam , Hwang Jung Seo , Song Won Geum , Shim Hyung Tak , Kim Min Soo , Lee Hyo Young , Jeon So Min , Oh Chang Suk , Kim Jung Do , Jung Joo Yeon , Seo Ha Joon and Lee Hyun Wook! this will be double the fun!

Dianne’ Sep 11 2021 9:03 pm My favorite characters in LMD are Shin Yushin and Sa Pi young. I have several suggestions for season 3 for this couple. 1st Scenario Yusin still stalks Pi young and is drinking heavily whenever he can’t be around her and Jia. He is at her house morning and evening to spend time with Jia. Pi young is pregnant from Yushin from before they divorced but is just now finding out. Yushin thinks the pregnancy will soften her heart for taking him back, but it doesn’t. Yushin is very jealous of Mr Seo and thinks by him announcing to him that Pi young is pregnant that would stop any chance of a relationship developing between them. When Yusin asks Mr Seo. about his intentions towards Pi young he states that she is a desirable woman in any condition and that he loves children and he would be honored if she would have him. He has only known her to be an honorable lady that respected her spouse and has been deeply hurt by his betrayal.

Yushin moves out of Ms Kim’s home and back to his marital home. He has told Ami that they are finished and his family is his first priority. He continues to try and convince Pi young of his penance. Everything he owns financially he puts in her name and he buys her a huge diamond ring in hopes that she will remarry him soon. She finally agrees to reunite with him when he has a near fatal accident which reminds her of her unforgiveness towards her mom until it was too late and realized she still loves him. ( I have other scenarios and alternate endings for this couple) this is my therapy since I’m going to have to wait a whole year for season 3

Cynthia Lim Aug 09 2021 5:59 pm What is the meaning for the ending of Season 2? Totally out of this world!!! What were you thinking or not thinking? Absolutely disappointing!!!

qwerty12345 Aug 08 2021 10:34 am for your writing about love marriage divorce, season 1 was disgusting why the mistress didnt get their karma. season 2 becomes even worst. i hope if got season 3 show us that the mistresses got their karma. the season 2 finale sucks to be honest. improved your write ups please

Britt Feb 16 2021 11:18 am Hm, in Marriage and divorce I like the fact that you've picked 5 ladies at different ages. It's interesting that the 2 working together have husband problems showing that beauty/taking care of oneself doesn't necessarily guarantee a faithful husband. The 40Y old's husband Suyin, will fall 4 his stepmom, a female fatale, clear in ep3 already. What isn't logical is that she is 58, so how can she have kids as director mentioned? Also, if you're much younger wife soient call you ever by your guest name, she doesn't love you. It's so obvious.... She must have lied to the director! Hyerung mum in law is not being treated nicely/respectfully by her hubby who also desires this 58Y old. I find all men in this Kdrama fools, thinking w their dicks not brains. Writer, not all men are like this! Also, the whole story so far is so negative, so irritating, so disturbing, I can't sleep! I'm going to wait for the final ep 2 c if at least 2 out 5 women's marriages will end well ie at least find happiness with another bloke. Life isn't perfect. We all get to deal with some lemons/curve balls, but in the end we should be able to have a nice lemonade"!

Glad she's retired Feb 15 2020 10:54 pm This lady had too much power as a writer while being paid more than generously and did whatever she wanted. Writing off characters/actors for getting on her bad side, demanding more benefits/money while holding shows and actors hostage, introducing nonsensical plots or elements to series not in need of them. Oh or how about the forced nepotism she commits by giving her family members screen time.

I mean sheesh and that's not even the bad things that she's done in her personal life.

bright May 21 2016 2:01 am I really love his story, new tales of gisaeng... it is very nice... i start searching for him after watching this drama...

cysee Aug 25 2015 8:21 am To Im Sung Han a devoted fan wishes a happy birthday. My wish for this day is that you would become a teacher - one to whom we owe much. May you have the happiest day ever with more to follow.

Rose May 29 2015 12:16 am I found out who the actress is ---- Baek OK Dam --- she is the writer's niece.

She plays Sunji in Apgujeong Midnight Sun and was in Princess Aurora.

Rose May 28 2015 11:54 pm Drama Addict ---

What is the writer's daughter's name??

cyview May 21 2015 9:15 am So she has retired from writing for K-drama? May I respectfully suggest -- that by this change of direction, Ms. Im would give her energies to the task of becoming a teacher to pass along the skills and techniques that characterize her works. If you are reading this, Ms Im, please put my name at the head of the probable student list. I would like nothing better. I would consider myself to be the most fortunate of writers. Thank You.

Georgie May 12 2015 3:23 pm Ms. Im Sung Han, we like your stories... Very creative and intriguing... Please continue to write MORE... Look forward to seeing your next drama after the fascinating Apgujeong Midnight Sun ends...

dramADDICT Oct 17 2014 3:43 pm I liked most of Princess Aurora. I didn't like 25% of the main characters being written out or killed off including the pet dog! The screenwriter holds too much power in that drama dictating who was hired, like her stone faced daughter, and who was unceremoniously. The Soompi article "When Dramas Go Crazy..." sums up the Princess Aurora fiasco. Even 20,000 people signed petitions for MBC to get rid of the writer during the airing of Princess Aurora. Of course, the controversy drove up ratings and not the substance of the drama. Try finding an English subtitled version of Princess Aurora. The screenwriter got US$5 MILLION for Aurora, $30K per episode. She could do better. She has her daughter in the latest drama, Apgujeong Midnight Sun. Can't find an English sub on that either.

Gloria Stern Apr 16 2014 2:22 pm This is my application as #1 fan of Im Sung Han. My introduction to this lady was watching "Princess Aurora" at which performance I became a fanatic. I am dedicated to watch everything I can find with subs in English only because I cannot find a way to become a full fledged student and protege. If there were a prize for best screenwriter in the world, I would be the presenter. If you know her or can pass along a message, please tell her how much I appreciate her talent and skills. And to please keep on writing.

Mattie Jan 28 2014 11:15 am @Gloria Stern. That was a very nice tribute to the writer Im Sung-Han from a fellow writer. I too am a big fan of this writer and I loved everything that you wrote about her. Thank you.

Gloria Stern Dec 22 2013 12:18 pm MBS is to be congratulated for producing and airing Princess Aurora. Om Sung Han has written a remarkable story and elevated the art of dramatic narrative to a new high. I am also a writer and an unremittant fan. Ms Han has created a cast of unique and intriguing characters and carried them through episode after episode never dropping the ball. To hold ten major roles though so many episodes is in it self an unprecedented accomplishment. Thank you, Ms Han for offering your talent and skill to the world. Were I not limited linguistically, I would chose you for my teacher and mentor.

Dawn Dec 05 2013 12:33 pm I would agree with Mattie, this however, is the first time I've had the privilege to watch a drama "Princess Aurora" written by you. While the drama is a bit frustrating, I honestly can't bring myself to stop watching. I look foward to each episode. As a writer, I appreciate your direction and vision for the show is different from the viewers but I honestly hope the outcome is one that is not predictable but goes against the grain of all other dramas.

I do look foward to watching the other dramas you've worked on, and to see what comes from you in the future. Many career blessings to you.

Mattie Dec 04 2013 8:52 am I am happy to be the first to vote and leave a comment. I have now watched 3 dramas by this screenwriter "The Jewel Family", "New Tales of Gisaeng" and now currently watching "Princess Aurora" (at episode 116 here in NY). All have been impressive. I have read that Im Sung-Han is considered "controversial" in Korea but I have not found her to be so. I have found her to be a very interesting writer and look forward to seeing more dramas written by her in the future. I also want to find the earlier dramas that I have not yet viewed. Im Sung-Han please remain true to your vision, to your art. Thank you very much for your work.
