Comments

Veronica Nov 04 2025 4:41 am Norik BC I used to be sceptical too at first. And feeling uncomfortable with the homosexuality topic being pushed to Korean Dramas. But after you give this drama more episodes they barely mention about the homosexuality itself and more valuable life lesson is portrayed by some great characters like Dan Chi Gam and his nephew Dan Deung Myung.. ❤❤

Norik B. C. Oct 02 2025 9:00 pm Oops , it’s a no for me , first episode all looked good , but nope , this ain’t my bag , please bring back old true Korean dramas without homosexuality , I just want to watch wholesome normal time travel type show , why the homosexuality ? Why , of course it made in 2023 , bye bye

Durian Best Fruit Apr 12 2025 11:30 am Who ever wrote this story is... indeed a lunatic! This plot will not cross any similar kdrama plot in the mext 10000 years!! It's crazy how it starts and how it ends. You can never guess what happen next, but you just can't stop watching. The drama is insanely good and also ridiculous for some reasons. It's odd from the very beginning but if you keep watching, it just get really really good!! It starts with a secret of the oldest daughter in law being revealed when many sad things are happening back in ancient time. Shit gets real at the lunar eclipse. You will start to see the time lapses are getting mixed and everything becomes unclear. You won't be able to understand the order of the scenes. You feel like everything is so ambiguous and getting real messy. But thatbis the point, keep watching. You will start to see similar things from the past and modern story but somehow, it's not connected. Don't worry, because it will never be connected! Anyways, it's a good show. I wish it is 50 episodes long because the flow is so slow. Ending is so rush and the mystery remain unsolved, only if there is another season!

Bailaohu Jan 02 2025 2:14 pm Absolutely love it! Bravo to the entire cast. Kudos to the writer of this show. Totally unexpected in a Kdrama - bizarre but hilarious. Love the main modern day family, the interaction of the sons with their mother. Especially the youngest son's character. Felt a little bit sorry for him - in the previous life he was cuckolded and in the present modern day life he was also cuckolded as his girlfriend (later wife) was sleeping with someone else. Overall a very enjoyable show. My favourite character is the modern day mother, matriarch of the family and also the housekeeper (turned shaman). Also a special mention to the wife of the eldest son who is obsessed over her mother in law. Well done!

Lint Nov 05 2024 3:18 pm Speechless!!! Okay but it's so hilarious though.

Paris May 31 2024 12:07 pm I hope they'll make a part two, and a season 4 of Love Featuring Marriage and Divorce (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠). Lol

Park Min May 01 2024 1:39 pm I don't how I feel about the on-screen text. There's distinct level of absurdity and abnormality that's easily recognizable from a certain Korean writer, that is Im Sung Han. From writing the characters, constructing the narrative and story boarding, all felt quite familiar to her other shows, Apgujeong Midnight Sun (2014) & Miss Mermaid (2002) in particular. However, this drama is unfortunately one of her unsuccessful ones. I didn't like the direction she took with the drama. The women from Joseon were an interjection into the Dan's family, they were more like a support characters observing the surrounding and getting accustomed to living. The entire story was stagnant for 15 episodes after their initial introduction and only the last episode brought some change but it was too late. The story went through the bare minimum of characters exploration and made the Joseon women existence more useless. If anything, it reminded me of the bizarre storylines transitions and conclusion of Miss Mermaid (2002), really close when drawing parallels. On a second thought, although I'm a fan of the writer but I don't quite agree with how she writes the last few episodes of her projects.

chiz Apr 01 2024 10:41 pm Just finished watching this drama. I haven’t watched the writer’s other works so I got confused at first and took the storyline seriously. But then I kept watching and turns out this is a parody / dark comedy drama. Super hillarious and out of the box! Recommended.

Hassy Feb 17 2024 6:26 pm The ending wasn't really necessary. They should have made that ending into Durian's imagination as they've been doing in the drama.

Mayet Fabi Jan 14 2024 3:12 pm Season 2 pls. They're all good actors. Craving for some more Ep.'s. Seems unfinished?

Bubblyboo Jan 05 2024 11:43 pm This drama kinda like a parodi of makjang, the story is ridiculous but the acting is very good.... I laughed a lot when I watched this drama, very entertaining

Rina Oct 11 2023 2:48 am It’s seems that there is no ending - There definitely has to be season 2??

Gift Oct 08 2023 3:24 pm This series is interesting but the ending to be honest looked really rushed. I hope it gets another season because alot needs to be explained for people that don't understand the ending.. Hoping for season 2.

DyingToKnowTheSong Sep 14 2023 9:20 am Hi, can someone pls tell me the name of the song where Dan Chi Jung danced infront of DuRiAn to apologize to her for mistakening about her being pregnant? Pls...plss

Liz Sep 13 2023 2:59 am I loved it. It is captivating and really hope there will be another season. I do not want to imagine the ending

Please give us season 2

April Suttles Aug 26 2023 5:45 pm I loved this drama! I would like a second season.

Ran Aug 26 2023 7:52 am This Drama is annoyingly good. I guess they wouldn't have season 2, its just an open ending, but maybe a little bit rush.

If in my opinion from the ending it seems Seo jo didn't end up with DM. On the award ceremony she have her seemingly 2/3 years old son gave her flower and DM was watching her from his car, crying (?). So I assume DM ends up with ayla.

The MIL got dementia because Chigam went missing with RiAhn to the past where they run away together (?), but it showed the Karmic for MIL due to her past sin killed Chigam. So now she misses him but won't be able to see him again, its worsen her health and cause stress she got dementia?? I mean, aside of because her husband went missing too. (This is big question mark for me. I mean is it because of him there will be season 2??? Since there is no reason whatsoever he needs to went back to the past too!!)

Anyway i hate the character of the first DIL so much. Selfish and hypocrite. Also Ayla. They make better pair of MIL and DIL together, I pity her husband and Deungmyeung for getting them as partner. Sighed.

8/10. Recommended.

Belita Aug 20 2023 9:27 pm I love it. Congratulations. I hope there is another season

Amira Aug 19 2023 8:03 am Hahaha! It’s the same weird sense of humour as Love ft. Marriage and Divorce. I understand the scene jumps and the rushed ending don’t make sense to a lot of people, but if you watched Love ft. Then you’ll get that this is just the writer’s style. I personally enjoyed this drama and feel they left the ending open for a possible season 2, depending on how much the audience asks for it.

peachblossom Aug 17 2023 4:37 pm it's soooo good! If I hadn't watched (and loved) Love ft. Marriage and Divorce by the same writer, I would have been very very confused lol. Her style is not for everyone, but I love it! Please Season 2 for this and Season 4 of LMD :)

mmeellxx Aug 17 2023 9:20 am Ok so I was just as confused as many of you - but this is not trash by any means. You do not need to always be spoon fed everything. There is an opportunity for season 2 - if that happens we will probably learn more about the females on the family. What I had a difficult time doing was slowing down when we were back on Joseon time. Life moved at a much slower pace than what we are used to. It will be interesting to see Dol Seo and Joo Nam adjust to that lifestyle.

Yasgirl Aug 16 2023 6:09 pm I loved this show but I don’t really get this ending they left everything vague are supposed to be guessing what actually happened I’ve never been this confused ever

Heyjay Aug 16 2023 9:54 am I have never watch an ending so confusing like this in my life. This drama is rubbish, I don’t recommend.

Wanda Floyd Aug 15 2023 9:53 pm Please have a season 2!

B00 Aug 15 2023 9:17 pm Okay is there going to be a season 2? I had no idea what happened, what a crappy ending. Until I read a comment from sf who explained it. Wow that was a terrible ending at least they showed the young couple.

Jane Aug 15 2023 8:42 pm please make season 2

Elsie Aug 15 2023 1:25 am Will there be a Season 2.

Need to have more drama on 3 of the cast disappearance.

Tks

sf Aug 15 2023 12:19 am SPOILER, SPOILER:

I understood this way: Dan Chi-Gam and Du Ri-An have gone to the past, thanks to the proper condition that was created with the eclipse and that rock, So-Jeo and her husband live a happy life in this world, Baek Do-Yi has received her punishment for her past life, same for Dan Chi-Jung, cursed to live without children. The rest of the characters are only to fill the story with craziness. End of story.

Belle Aug 14 2023 7:35 pm What happened to the ending? Leave us hanging? What's wrong with the writers mind?. I should've not watched it to begin with very disappointing.

Candyboogey Aug 14 2023 6:26 pm SPOILERS. The ending was about Karma, if you have hurt someone in the past it will come back. Ju Nam was casualty, for Jo Yi not deserving happiness. Her favorite son whom she killed in the past is gone. She is basically left with her son that she’s always protected. Seo jo and her husband live happily ever after, all the other characters in the end got what they deserved

khosieghozie Aug 14 2023 4:25 pm this drama ending so horrible and ridiculous. how come they don't explain many odds in the end.

Luisito Gonzales Aug 14 2023 1:11 pm With this convoluted ending, a 2nd Season shoyld be expected.

Chessnut Aug 14 2023 11:02 am How about Joo Nam? What happen with him?

Sofia Gakopoulos Aug 14 2023 8:22 am To have been on the edge of my seat for each and every episode only for a very disappointing ending. Too many unanswered questions. Poorly done by the writer and based on my research of her, not at all surprising.

Who do that to us? we were left with no real closure and only more questions.

I would not have watched had I known how horrible the ending would be.

Ele Aug 14 2023 6:35 am Omg what a bad ending so disappointing like a waste of my time watching the 15 episodes !!!!!

Jenicel Aug 14 2023 5:46 am Can't wait for the Season 2!!!!!

N Aug 14 2023 5:22 am I really don't understand they totally rash the ending. Ju nam where is he... This he only area imagination I thank for winter not make like sea jo wake up for dream but if have season 2 Omo, there much something plot twist. Because the housekeeper also smirk Infront the lift. If we see the poster durian not wearing hanbok.. I don't want overthinking.. but if have really have season 2.. please.. the plot twist not make sea jo not happy ending.

Mary Aug 14 2023 4:34 am I'm not sure what to feel since i had high hopes to the ending. All episodes are moving very slowly then suddenly at the last part it became too fast! I anticipated chi jung's ending, the mother in law took me by surprised but considering of what happened it kinda make sense (2 important guys in her life suddenly vanished). Im not sure if theres gonna be a s2 since the ending was soo rush and already given away the characters karma but still we need to know what happened to other characters! This drama has so much potential. I just wish they stretch it until 20eps if ever they're not gonna make an s2. Still hoping that this cliffhanger ending is a premonition of s2

Karen Trevino Aug 13 2023 7:38 pm I hope there will be a Season 2. The show was so good but, the ending was too unclear..

Cindy Aug 13 2023 6:41 pm We need season 2? we need happy ending

Durian So Sedap!!! Aug 13 2023 5:59 pm I wonder what will happen to the housekeeper, after Durian broke her fans. :( Episode 16 actually revealed much about DY, DM, Chi Gam, Chi Gang, Chi Jung past lives. Relax...It's not the end yet. Highly likely there will be a S2 :) probably in 6 months time?? :D

Osmosis Aug 13 2023 5:52 pm Writer is funny. Seems season 2 is inevitable.

sf Aug 13 2023 4:32 pm The end makes sense and is clear, so a second season is unnecessary. It would have been an acceptable drama without those crazy things in it. The two braided pigtails at the end did justice for the past life and current life, so live a life without eccentricity, otherwise, you will end up braiding pigtails one day. Thanks to the actors, less to the scriptwriter.

Pop pop Aug 13 2023 4:01 pm Loved the drama but the ending was rushed and ended up making no sense

Lu Aug 13 2023 3:59 pm lol what was that ending please? Lol.,I was confused from episode 1 to 16 about the point of this series… the events are very haphazard lol. It’s like writer realized he had to wind up things in episode 16 and only realized halfway through the last episode that there wasn’t enough time to wrap up things cleanly . Lol….. lol… lolest…

Ayth Aug 13 2023 2:40 pm The ending, Lord What The Heck Was That???? The Biggest Cliffhanger In Kdrama. This drama was Way too rushed It should’ve at least had 20 episodes or Imma need season 2 right now im not patient

DurianSoJeo Aug 13 2023 12:42 pm Spoilers! Season2 maybe? Cuz what happen to Ju-Nam when he enter that pond? Are So-Jeo and Deung Myung married and had a son? Are So-Jeo aware of Du Ri An's dissapearance? How Ayla react to that? What about Eun Sung? Did she know her husband is missing? And mostly,the entire family (present) did not know the whole story that connected to the past... Dissapointing ending. The writter can make a good plot instead fill it with unimportant long dialouge in some eps.

Eriko English Aug 13 2023 11:44 am Season 1 is not enough. Please make season 2.

Julia Aug 13 2023 10:58 am I already finished all episodes but the ending not really interesting…. Just like that …. The ending is really disappointing

ella Aug 13 2023 10:38 am I love the drama, and of course another best acting for choi myung gil. Everything she does is superb, but I just hate Semi's storyline. I hate shows who gave a lesbian/gay storyline then don't pursue it at all, why gave it in the first place. It's like giving a kid a candy then take it back. And the kind of storyline that they gave Semi was too complicated something that people can't comprehend with, falling in love with her mother-in-law, giving her a bad image to the audiences. If they're giving a character a complicated story they need to partnered it with a bright quality to it but instead they're pushing all her buttons. ? so tired with this kind of thinking when it comes to lgbtq stories, too many broken stories.

Lemonpopp Aug 13 2023 9:57 am Such a great and interesting drama

Nam Aug 13 2023 3:18 am Hoping the director give us season 2 for this drama.. its absoulutey interesting and good drama....

Kdramajames Aug 12 2023 2:11 am Please let there be a second season!

Elba Aug 10 2023 11:41 pm I love this Drama. Love the actors, they are great. I am really enjoying every minute of it. I hope that we get a second season.

Eros Aug 10 2023 4:54 am Drama of the year 2023!! (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

Lymarh Aug 08 2023 5:35 pm I know it's crazy but I love this drama, I'm so engrossed and always looking forward. I think there's going to be a season 2 and I hope it won't be too long and will get better.

I just want to see So Jeo and Deung Myung end up together and also Du RI An and Chi Gam. Those duo are so lovely together. Ayla is so annoying and immature, desperate to be married and that hell of a wife Eun Sung who gives no attention to her husband and wants all of his love and attention like how does that work?!!!

Blessed Baby Aug 07 2023 1:56 pm Please give us a second season! I'm so in love with this drama. Cast is superb! I'm enjoying every bit of this drama.

Bluegunglorysadending Aug 07 2023 12:29 pm Call me crazy but I am enjoying this drama more than Kings the land! Surprisingly my fav couple is the granny and her 30yrs younger guy! It is comforting for me.

Yin Myat Aug 07 2023 8:29 am Love to see this drama and don't wanna finish. Sometime boring when Durian and her servant. The attractive screen are Do Yoon and So Yi, and Du Nam and Do Bo Yi.

Lucky Aug 06 2023 7:52 pm While Ju Nam and Do Yi in the drama have a 30 year age gap, in real life she’s only 22 years older. ? maybe that’s why it didn’t look too bad seeing them together.

Btw, I’m annoyed at how persistent Semi is with forcing her feelings onto Do Yi especially since she married her son and have a son together with him. Like it’s weird, I get that she can’t help how she feels but the feelings have to be mutual too..

Lucky Aug 06 2023 7:45 pm Omg, please give us another season! I am in love with the cast and do not want it to end yet! Would love to see DuRian and So Jeo get with their respective pairing while also enjoy seeing them together for another full season. We need more from their modern love story.

Also I love Ju Nam and Do Yi together. While she is 30 years older, it doesn’t feel that way just because of how mature they both are. Ju Nam is so sweet and I can’t be happier for for him. Man knows what he wants and went for it with a full heart. Do Yi has also lived her life by being a good person and deserves to be loved and not feel lonely. She was married once and was widowed for a long time. While yes, her kids are always around but it’s different from the love you receive from your husband or wife.

Would love to see more of Eon and So Jeo though. Clearly he feels the same as her and I hope that he will end things with Ayla before things get more complicated. Her character is getting more annoying each episode…

Please give us season 2!!!! Would love for this to go on for as long as Love feat. Marriage & Divorce!

Durian So Sedap!!! Aug 06 2023 2:19 pm This series definitely call for Season 2!!! :))

She must be a shaman in her past life. I was hoping the dog would put its paw on the fan!!! :/

I enjoyed the convo between JuNam and DoYi. They found comfort in each other despite the age gap. Ju Nam is such a gentleman. No wasting of time. That's the way it should be man!

I liked that they both decided not to know each other's background just yet :))

Can't imagine Se Mi going bonkers and be tearing her hair when Do Yi drops the bomb! Lol And JuNam will soon find out that he has hit the Jackpot :D

meybi Aug 06 2023 11:13 am maybe there will be season 2?

Durian So Sedap!!! Aug 04 2023 1:51 am Interesting drama/plot. Well written scripts. I've rewatched it 3 times!!! :)) Can't wait for the coming episodes :)) Curious to know what's up with the housekeeper, her red fans and the white fox.

The casts are doing such a great job. Daebak!

Season 2 please! :))

april Aug 02 2023 8:55 pm It's crazy cause I'm enjoying the story. Hahhaha we all know how crazy that writer is, the ultimate makjang writer. From Princess Aurora, she has cemented her reputation with crap but engaging stories, but look at me, I'm enjoying this than King The Land. I'm so twisted. ahhahaha

Red Jul 31 2023 6:54 pm Absolutely loving this show. It’s Original acting from everyone is great characters are likeable writing is done well. Wish all episodes would be released so I could binge it. It’s totally binge worthy.

sf Jul 30 2023 9:22 pm In fact, in this drama, nothing happened, zero stories. You would not have what to talk about, maybe only the interminable tea conversations, but it is full of crazy and ridiculous people. A grandmother who runs away from her age wanting to be forever young, a daughter-in-law who is in love with the grandmother, another daughter-in-law who has a questionable approach to her dog (yah), and three insipid males who are there to fill the screen. An idea has come to my mind while writing this. Maybe the writer wanted to put face to face the good sense of the past time with the craziness of our times.

jenzin Jul 30 2023 11:16 am i hope the drama gets extended.

TDS Jul 30 2023 8:49 am This drama was too left or Right field meaning can not understand what it is about???????????

N Jul 30 2023 6:58 am This drama only left 4 episode, hope so much writer don't make annyoing ending.. I hope so much Kim so jeo not coma and dreaming.. wake up and back to past.. please I hope there a happy ending even travel time.. omg I so stress full. I love so much this drama because the aura, elegant but the line story, emmmh hope the plot really blowing my mind.. not sad ending

Shubha Jul 29 2023 3:11 pm What unexpected drama, no one can predict what happens next. Different than usual romance k drama, this have suspence, affairs, comedy. Loved the story telling or presentation style , keeping few scenes to audience imagination making this drama more interesting. Loved the cast all are prefect for their role, hope next episodes will be more interesting.......

Muriel Jul 28 2023 6:00 am Man. I want to like this drama because the plot seems so interesting, but it's just...

I've watched the last 6 episodes on 1.3 speed and it's still unbearably uneventful. The whole monologue from dog mother to her husband was just everlasting. The daughter in law forcing herself on her mother-in-law in the hospital seemed to last hours. There's so many insignificant cutscenes (brother closing the toilet lid at his mother's house) that make everything feel even slower.

There are many inconsistencies too. Sometimes a scene is revealed as imagination, but then in the next episode another character remembers that same fantasy.

We're in episode 10 and the two leading ladies have barely progressed or adapted. In a way, they are genuinely just housekeepers to the story.

I'm most involved in the grandmother of the family. She is an amusing and heartwarming character and I'm curious to learn what caused the discrepancy between her now versus in the Joseon era. She is the only inconsistency so I hope the writers did that on purpose.

I hoped they'd start rounding up plotlines rather than adding new ones, but now it seems they're also adding dog mom's hospitalized mother.

Mody Chan Jul 27 2023 4:57 am Worth watching, unique and strong plot but too slow. I will continue watching for sure one of the most drama I like in this season.

Shayee Jul 25 2023 12:54 am fall in love couple of Baek Do-Yi and Jang Se-Mi

Fea Jul 23 2023 4:44 am Slow yet the end is nearing..

Sarchie Jul 23 2023 12:45 am I just want Kim So jeo to end up with a husband in the present…..don’t want him with that Ayla girl

Puna808 Jul 22 2023 11:34 pm I love this drama and love the time travelers and the distinction between past and present customs are done so well. I so loved seeing the cast members from Love, Marriage, Divorce reunited in this drama. Im enjoying the character’s. I’m hooked.

Totallytwisted Jul 22 2023 11:04 pm Wow what a strange drama with the time travelers.....present Korean women are depicted as Selfishness. But most spoiled people who are uneducated and educated act that way.

   Still don't get the Dog relationship????   Maid did suggest adoption. That made a lot of sense to help someone else in the world instead of a dog.

sf Jul 22 2023 3:19 pm I still do not see the link between the past and nowadays and what the writer tries to show us.

Lovethisdrama Jul 22 2023 3:06 pm I love this drama. One of the best this year for me. I hope happy ending for all. Fighting...

Angel Jul 19 2023 8:49 pm It's already ep.8 but still boring for me . I keep skipping every time.

ColdeFiction Jul 17 2023 9:52 pm This drama is weird af. Does the D.I.L. have Electra complex? And the connection of the 2 joseon woman? What's the deal with it? It's so confusing.

Yasgirl Jul 17 2023 5:44 pm It's basic time travelers show with a twist I love it it's interesting I can't wait to see what happens

TDS Jul 16 2023 10:21 am I'm must be missing the story and why it is interesting.....because two time travelers from the past is boring as ????

I don't get it,,,daughter in law likes mother in law, dog and rich woman fantasy???

 Fighting for the two ghosts!!!!!

Chantel Jul 16 2023 9:55 am At the beginning it looks boring but as the drama progress it was super interesting I can't wait for the love triangle drama to beginning things will start getting messy as from ep 8

lucia constantin Jul 16 2023 8:02 am imi place!!!!ciao!!!!

Norma Mcquait Jul 15 2023 8:03 pm Love this drama it’s unique and good

Yani reyes Jul 15 2023 8:57 am Im loving it! The plot is no ordinary the reason why im always curious for what will happen next. Im waiting for episode 7.?

Han tue Jul 11 2023 5:50 pm First 3 episod drama is slow.. and boring. I keep skipping the time

deana Jul 11 2023 8:53 am i'm loving this drama! it's very underrated :( at first, it's quite confusing to understand the storyline. you need to at least watch two times and then you'll understand.

this is my first time watching a historical people time travel to the future. usually, time travel always went to the past. even the title itself is very unique!

i'm hoping this drama will not give us a sad ending. i've been loving durian's affair! it's worth my time watching this drama.

Mitch Jul 10 2023 2:49 pm This series is worth watching for. In my own opinion, if you are really into literature you will understand the plot of the story well. The writer is very imaginative and realistic. The acting we're also great! What I hate the most is waiting for the next episode hahaha.

Durian So Sedap!!! Jul 10 2023 4:48 am I'm a big fan of Time Travel dramas/movies.

The first three episodes was a drag and too many repetitive flashbacks which was such a waste of screen time! I almost dropped this drama but decided to continue...episode 4, 5, 6 was !!!

Can't wait for what's to come next!

Tyra Jul 08 2023 12:40 pm What a drama❤ I'm so eager to know what's next... I'm giving it 75%, for beginner.

GreatWD Jul 08 2023 11:20 am Wow what is the writer thinking a conversation about a rich woman in love with her dog??????

taehaa Jul 04 2023 8:00 pm the first two episode just nice to watch but they keep draging i dont know how to watch till the end

tehee Jul 02 2023 11:59 pm It's ridiculous but I can't stop watching!!!

Eyoo Jun 30 2023 11:33 pm Just watch ep1. While watching it, I keep thinking about love ft marriage and divorce ?. Search about it, nah they are from same script writer. Hopefully this drama won't make my emotions turn up and down. Even though confession scene make me like what?! That's your mother in law! Crazy!!

Aileen Jun 30 2023 6:45 am Love marriage & divorce 4 reincarnation :D :D there are several casts from the drama Love Marriage Divorce... With same writer-min (^.^)""

jona Jun 27 2023 1:14 pm that 1st episode was just insane ...i mean the audacity she had to confess her feelings to her MIL infront of her family

barbara Jun 25 2023 7:00 am what a disappointment. One word to describe this drama Horrible

Prince Jun 25 2023 12:42 am I'm gonna ignore all the other weekend dramas on right now and watch this one, because what was that episode 1!! ;-D! Lol!!

Bona Jun 24 2023 7:53 pm I started the first episode not bad there is one scene there I don't why the writer put more attention on but it doesn't make sense in my point of view the conversation for that particular topic it last for more than 20mins I think its ok to brush it but too focus on it there are some funny scenes that it made me laugh hopefully it will progress the story

Dinuka Jun 24 2023 1:16 pm We have durian fruits in our country.. I am Sri Lankan

Dr Sunshine Jun 22 2023 9:40 am Durian….is that durian- musang king?!….i’ll give it a watch then..,

Cheryl88 Jun 08 2023 1:43 am I read it 3 times '"durian"! , I thought this drama about king of fruit "durian" :⁠-⁠D, then I talk to myself do Korean have durian? :⁠-⁠D , Then I read the cast name Aaaaaa the main cast named du ri an :⁠-⁠D:⁠-⁠D:⁠-⁠D

Ryunami Jun 07 2023 12:44 pm The title reminds me of the Musang King I had yesterday ? some says its stinky but most of the citizen love it!

Shairli May 31 2023 2:32 am Why Durian? It's the King of Fruits in my country. Even reading the synopsis to check whether Durian (fruit) is involved :D

Kai May 20 2023 11:06 am Durian is fruit in my country

Hapong May 19 2023 4:03 pm The name same like durian fruit from south east Asian country
