Park Min Mar 11 2023 2:43 pm Very typical makjang. It follows the exact formula without attempting anything new. They over done it for how much the baddies can get away with, there should be some balance. The cast didn't help either to keep the drama afloat. Some of the camera angles were too weird, the actors were looking point blank centered directly to the camera.

Anne Feb 26 2021 12:41 pm I actually watched this twice, once in real time on local TV, then a couple years later on YouTube! Why? For Oh Min Suk! He was so good in this. Lots of Korean actors cry pretty well, but he was exceptional in the way he showed his emotions as this character. The love, the angst, the anger, really impressed me. Plus he’s a good looking guy. Whenever I see him cast in a drama, I watch it. Big fan of this underrated actor. Plus this drama was a doozy, evil characters, couldn’t wait to see what happened next!

Alan Jul 20 2018 9:55 pm Do u need 100 episode to deal with a evil son in law and a slut who kidnapped other ppl child? The whole drama is a joke. Do u need to go on trial snd get witness to claim back ur child? This is ridiculous thing this drama has showcase. I will just report police and the villisn kidnappers will be apprehended and jailed. In SG this crime is death sentence mind u. So in Korea, thd kidnappers still can walk around freely threatening ppl as if nothing happened? Pls get the script writer to wake up. Hello This is 2018

Shar Apr 01 2018 6:56 pm I am just watching this now. I am getting tired of the long suffering faces and the extended crying and crying and crying. All K Dramas would be better if they streamlined the subplots. I am almost giving up.

Bella Sep 06 2017 5:59 am Wow the movie is superb.i luv kang ji-yoo courage.she neva allow chae seo-rin to defeat her.And d luv story btw yoo kang woo nd kang ji-yoo is amazing.nyc one

JAC Jan 03 2017 4:03 pm Really happy. that both leading actor and actress won awards!

Watcher Dec 23 2016 2:42 pm Is this drama worth to watch? 106 Ep?

Rosemary Dec 01 2016 7:52 pm Love all the cast! Very good drama by all the cast! Everyone played a superb role! I sincerely hope this drama wins 3 awards! Even 4 who knows! Bravo and good luck!!!

JAC Nov 26 2016 10:25 am Loved the ending to see the witch finally get hers was rewarding.

    KBS this was the BEST Drama inn 2016!

Thank you so much

Kori23 Nov 18 2016 10:12 pm KangWoo Isn't Yoo ManHo son? What a twist if that's the case! Now JiYoo & KangWoo can have a happy ending I hope

JAC Nov 17 2016 5:20 pm Min Sun Ho is not the Chairman Son? Why do their DNA match?

      I do not get it!

JAC Nov 08 2016 7:00 am Eps 92 was the best ever!

Thank you

Thank you KBS for Secreats of Women

Francisco Nov 07 2016 11:50 am Writer, why a lot of twisting in your story. just make it to the point, that's it. As the ending approaches, it's becoming boring unlike in the beginning it's full of thrill.

JAC Nov 02 2016 7:58 am No secrets of women today!

JAC Oct 31 2016 8:35 am Loss the ledger to witch wife and brother in law almost kill the old man.

What is next?

JAC Oct 31 2016 8:26 am Brother in law sits while the old man is dying.

Idioit Loss the Ledger to the witch wife.

        Up a creek .......right Now!

JAC Oct 26 2016 8:15 am Writer we all know who the child mother is. Why continue to let this child suffer?

Clearly money have screwed up the two families but the real devil is the brother in law and witch!

             What is next?

JAC Oct 25 2016 5:32 pm The Tall good looking son is better husband rather than the short spineless one.

Love love love this drama.

JAC Oct 24 2016 8:25 am Looking back at some top rated dramas Secrets of women is up there with them.

Now would you please cut Un Family short.

Thank you KBS for Secrets of Women it was and is the Best.

Faye Oct 20 2016 3:44 pm What is wrong with you people exposing a child to all the abusiveness of the stupid adults. You can't be doing that in front of any child it's unhealthy. the poor kids will grow up all messed up in the brain. And Chae Seorin is one evil person she does not know how to stop her evil ways. Now she has a hold on the chairman and is taking over the entire property like her own. Can anybody sue her for murder, child stealing, kidnapping and fraud. What are they waiting for she's really getting out of hand with her sneering and happiness for getting the upperhand at this point. She's just sickening to watch I just want to lap her silly smile and kick her in the butt for all her evilness. And her bodyguard is the worst one. He's inlove with her but she does not give a hoot to him. Can't he get the message and just disappear and stop giving in to her evilness. This show is getting so unreal already with the villain getting all the upperhand and no one is able to kick her butt and make her stop. Hope her mother wrings her neck and maybe even shoot her in the legs to stop her from going to the house which she claims it's hers and yet, she's only a fake dotter inlaw. She's without shame and selfish to the bone. She has no respect for her mother which she pushes and slaps her around. What a shame.

JAC Oct 19 2016 8:39 am It is about time she let that spineless baby'father go.

What next Chairman?

JAC Oct 18 2016 5:30 am Thanks, the way the writer has mistreated the little boy is incredible.

This is why it is best not to extend the drama.

Park Oct 18 2016 3:17 am JAC, are you wishy washy, easily influenced, or have multiple personalities? You say extend, don't extend. Geez, make up your mind.

JAC Oct 17 2016 8:35 am Absolutely don't extend because like unusual family drama the writer letting The witch and old man (brother in law) destroy a little boy.

Could care less for the new Chairman?

He weak in the beginning and to the end. What a loser?

JAC Oct 15 2016 9:03 am True no extension.

It does not make any sense that a sick old man would make a decision based on his mistake.

He was not thinking about his grandson or son being around a wicked monster.

Stupid! Now what is next?

zensen Oct 14 2016 5:21 pm No need to extend, please..can't wait for the happy ending of this beautiful couple with their handsome boy...and also excited to learn the fall of the villains esp. the vicious woman...

Good Drama with Good Actors.... Thanks.

Mimi Oct 14 2016 7:31 am No need to extend.Cant wait to watch the ending. Cant wait to watch the fall of chae so rin

JAC Oct 13 2016 8:06 am KBS please extend Secrets of Women Drama to 150 ep .

Why Why Why did you give Unusual Depicables Family an extension it is the worst.

viduxu Oct 12 2016 11:55 am KBS, why you not extend this to 150 episodes? This is the drama which should be extended not that fake people's Unusual Family. DIssapointed about that drama but this drama is fantastic. Hope you give this a good ending. :")

JAC Oct 11 2016 7:56 am Secrets of Women Drama right now is the best day time entertainment.

KBS Thank you for giving the viewers a chance to experience quality cast,director, and story.

Please consider reviewing the disgusting and despicables cast and drama unusual family. Terrible!

JAC Oct 07 2016 8:31 am Right! The writer is saying a lot about how money and greed drives today society.

Today brother in law got hit by his father in law.

Still think Ms Park needs to be put away.

Best drama right!

Faye Oct 06 2016 6:54 pm These people are fighting and showing all their ugliness right in front of this innocent child. Can anyone put aside their evilness and focus on the little boy's mental state. What child cannot be traumatized by all this ugliness. This is enough to put a child in a mental institution if these adults don't stop it..Chae Sorin is so selfish and self absorbed that she is a mad woman using a child as a weapon to get what she wants. You want to be a mother, get rid of the poison in your body and do right by the little son. For the most part, the child needs his real mother not this crazy lunatic woman who stole this child. She's not fit to be a mother at all and hopefully when the custody case goes to trial, hope the judge will see this woman deserves to be put away for everyone's sake especially the boy.

JAC Oct 06 2016 5:15 pm KBS please extend this drama to 150 esp.

This drama is so much better than Unusual family.

Please!

vidxu Oct 06 2016 10:47 am The villains are not villians but just plainly dumb and the plot progressed really well, hope the writers will not make this like Unusual Family. Hope this drama will have a good ending for everyone except the two idiot villains.

JAC Oct 06 2016 8:23 am You are absolutely correct that it is only in Dramas.

Mrs.Park and her daughter have been parasites on this wealthy.

However it is a better written drama than unusual family.

Gina Oct 03 2016 11:09 am So...In reality who in the right mind leaves a child on same day almost kidnapped alone with a mentally unstable woman? Yes, only in DRAMAS, not well written ones but I still watch every 3rd episodes for comedic values, writers underestimated intelligence of many viewers.

JAC Oct 02 2016 11:44 am APAN Awards are out and Secrets of Women's best Drama!

Yes much better than the violent slapping crazy dramas like the others.

beng Sep 30 2016 3:18 am Casting for lead couple is effective as they look good together. They may get the Best Couple Award ( along with other drama couples this year).

Also like Kim Yoon Seo as she is a very good antagonist - saw her first in You're the Best Lee Soon Shin (YTBLSS) and she was nasty there. Just noticed that her eyes are unusually large and seem to be popping out when she's angry or antagonizing the other drama characters in the episodes. Did she have surgery to have her eyes opened up or is this sign of some deficiency as she is very very thin. I like her almond-shaped eyes the way they were in YTBLSS.

Can't wait to see the remaining episodes until the finale. Hope the writer(s) and Director will not disappoint the followers.

Jared Sep 29 2016 3:43 am Love watching this drama...Am really enjoying every episode...

JAC Sep 28 2016 8:49 pm Yes you are right about the witch is mentally ill. She really thinks that the boy is hers.

Which goes to show us all that crazy people do care about anyone, but herself.

Funny thought is crazy people alway try to kill themselves when can not control the situation.

Remember SinJin in the promise!

Kori023 Sep 28 2016 7:11 pm Soon Bok aka SeoRin needs to be put into a mental hospital. Now that SeoRin knows JiYoo & Kang Woo knows Ma Eum is their son she's still acting crazy! I don't think she cares about Ma Eum at all she just wants to hold onto Kang Woo. I feel bad for her mother. Losing her memory and hiding all of her daughters ugly secrets.

JAC Sep 28 2016 7:57 am Do JiYu know that the boy is her son?

JAC Sep 26 2016 8:06 am Why can't they understand that the witch and brother in law are criminals?

Does not make sense?

JAC Sep 16 2016 2:08 am What the witch got out of jail? No............,..money talks. Revenge!

JAC Sep 14 2016 6:09 am Now that is what I talking about the witch is caught! Best drama ever!

Thank you KBS

JAC Sep 12 2016 7:53 am Low low and low to replace her mum for money, but she is despicable. What we expect from the witch?

JAC Sep 09 2016 7:34 am Best day time drama this year. Perfect pacing of story and acting by all cast members is wonderful and entertaining.

Thank you so much KBS!

JAC Sep 07 2016 8:43 pm Finally the witch is on the ground.

Yes!

Kuye Belelai Sep 04 2016 1:19 am I truly like the actress So E-Hyun and actor Oh Min-Suk good couple and love the episodes I have seen so far. Great one!

l.n Aug 28 2016 6:15 pm I really think the writers must be asleep, because this drama is too long and boring for 100 episodes. It had all the typical features of makjang drama. For me, I'm only waiting for the revenge too begin.

JAC Aug 27 2016 12:23 pm See the witch is psychotic she pushed the mother to her death. It was the daughter mistake because the mother follow her.

JAC Aug 21 2016 12:31 pm Crazy sun Bok has tasted power and she is delusional where she is going for broke to compete with the brother in law. As crazy and dangerous she is the boy will be in danger. What a nut case?

JAC Aug 18 2016 7:42 am True and so true; however, the dramas like Freaky Family is worst. The scenes are much better, but the witch, her man w/the glove, and mother are all laughable. Over the top evil and can not act looks like a dumbie or mumi.

k Aug 18 2016 5:49 am the worst script ever...so unreal...so far away from reality ...full of exaggerate....looks like another korean dramas and womens of that house always slap jiyu and many ridiculous scenes

kelly b. Aug 17 2016 11:57 am I realized early on that Sunbok had stolen the baby from Ji-yoo since she had married the guy and slept with him and that is the reason her dad wanted her to save herself. Why should a drama that keep viewers upset last for 100 episodes. I love E-hyun, Min Suk and Jung Hun though.

c thompson Aug 16 2016 8:02 pm what is going on with the dramas .One day they are on the next day they don't show up. Is it because of the olympics? the drama is so frustrating. the writers need to start solving JY & KW's problems with the witch & brother-in law. It's just turning out sleazy/

Jared Aug 12 2016 5:28 am Why is it that this drama is not shown in it's time slot, (Aug 12 18:40)? What's being shown is a 2 episode of Unusual Family(ep 68-69). What happened? No more Secrets of Women?

JAC Aug 10 2016 11:31 pm Min Sun Ho said the chairman is his father. Make sense why the two sons should compete for JiYon. Unfortunately witch is so psychotic she may lose or kill the boy. The drama is funny and sick.

Eng Aug 10 2016 1:38 pm I missed the connection between young chaeseorin n the tattoo guy n the wicked son in law. please tell me how the 3 got involved n started their evil plans.

Aug 09 2016 12:33 am OH my god I feel sorry for jiYon

JAC Aug 08 2016 10:45 am Now I get who is behind all the evil that got JiYon in a mess with her son. It is the brother in law, dark, gangster buddy. This is why the chairman son is an idiot. Any smart person can see through the lies ad tricks.

JAC Aug 08 2016 7:27 am She has a birthmark and the boy has a birthmark like his real mother. This is the proof that they are related.

Imz Aug 07 2016 5:55 am Chairman son should have gotten a DNA test to be sure, but the thing unlike finding the real dad in most other dramas, here the witch woman only bought the baby after stealing him from his mother and unless and accident or something happens to the little boy and he needs blood donation or some organ something and if she tests and results are incompatible then only the others will really start to suspect the witch and they will be surprised when Jiyu is compatible. I think something like that will happen soon. But the family reuniting thing is not impossible neither possible because this a drama and because here anything can happen.

JAC Aug 05 2016 9:19 pm This drama is so over the top evil that it is difficult to watch. Really find h witch and her tall ganger to be overwhelmed with evil.

Hello Aug 04 2016 9:05 pm Does anyone know the BG music, I desperately want it

JAC Aug 02 2016 9:09 pm Secrets of women is only at ep 27 so why is it so difficult to leave the evil dark woman. Clearly she is psychotic and dangerous. Jiyou mother said the boy's father had a lot of women. I am going to go back review this drama as to how this crazy woman took over the other wioman life and got close to the chairman.

JAC Jul 30 2016 10:47 pm Right the evil dark wicked witch took her son and nailed the chairman son by saying they had sex/they have a son together. This is why I don't like the chairman son because he is an idiot. Why did he get a DNA test to find out if she was the mother of the child?

Grace Jul 29 2016 5:33 pm Aahh~ I know it Maeum is Jiyu's son

qiqsy Jul 27 2016 11:39 am Is it just me or do they have the wrong actress listed for the part of Byun Mi-Rae. It's linked to Janey(Byeon Seung-Mi), but its certainly doesn't look like her. Or sound like her either. She has a very cute, raspy voice like Girls' Day's Minah.

JAC Jul 25 2016 9:16 pm Looking forward to the revenge where lead actress can get her child back. Not really interested in her reunited with the father because he seems to be not able to get the upper hand and kick the wicked witch into darkness where she came from.

JAC Jul 19 2016 9:13 am Love this drama because it has excellent scenes, music, and actors. The little boy is just beautiful. Fighting

Faye Jul 14 2016 4:46 pm We all know about poor and rich don't mix and good and evil is the center of Korean tv drama. I believe if we all learn to enjoy or not enjoy these stories, then we will all end up mad, frustrate and angry like a mad dogs. When the story is good, we all become mellow, emotional and downright inlove with the characters. Therefore, I will not comment anymore.

JAC Jul 14 2016 10:46 am I enjoyed Oh Min-Suk acting in All About My Mom. Will continue to catch up with this drama. However, it is difficult to watch a drama with so much hardship and evil doing by the witch.

I will watch it because it is better than The Unusual Family Drama.

JAC Jul 13 2016 7:45 am The gap between rich and poor seems to be story Korean Drama writers like a lot. However this evil witch desires a life of dark deception. Money Power Evil does not work in the end.

shaikha Jul 03 2016 6:20 pm same all same all ,so many drama like tempatation of wife WTF, NO BRAIN TO WRITE NEW STORIES, i love oh min suk why did he get the bad role just why ?he is handsome and better than those idols who can't act.and other seceond male lead is not handsome first time saw him in this drama

Rosemary Ong Jul 03 2016 4:38 pm Very good drama! I am enjoying this drama! Can't wait for Ep 6!

saleh Jun 18 2016 7:41 pm excellent !! I like revenge dramas

Dan Jun 14 2016 7:00 pm looks interesting looking forward for it,watching 'The Promise' currently
