Kathryn Houston Jun 03 2026 6:20 pm THIS STUPID STORY WENT ON TOOOOOOO LONG. I will check it out at number 117, I think it's on number 87 now. Hwa Young is just a whore.??

Dreamhigh Jun 03 2026 3:36 pm this drama should ended, the more confused the more episodes to watch

sf Jun 03 2026 10:28 am What the h**l is going on? It means both women had intimacy with their brother.

Why didn't Chae Hwa-Young think about this aspect? Anyway, this drama should end already. It was too long.

Duh Jun 02 2026 8:00 pm Ok thats it! I cant take watching this anymore! Cha Hwa Young is so powerful that she can control everything even the police! Wow amazing hahahahah. Will just wait for the ending episode for the closure I have been waiting for.

Jamse Jun 02 2026 5:52 pm I called it back on May 12th that

SPOILER

Hwa Young would pretend to be the Chairman's daughter, and even though he's suspicious would find a way to trick him (why he does all these things when she's eavesdropping or even in the room makes zero sense. but hey, this is a Kdrama after all)

All that's left now is (predictions)

-She'll try to off Jang Mi, Baek Ho, and Sook-Hee again. -Scum Manager Lee has an extra reason to go after Baek-Ho, or so he thinks -Hwa Young and Manager Lee will go through the typical flashback (Beatings! Life Attempts!) that they did to Baek Ho once they find out he's their son. -At some point the Chairman will become paralyzed, and Hwa Young will brag to him about all the evil things she's done, with Baek Ho and Jang Mi rescuing him -Jun Ho will be forgiven. And possibly even the awful mother and daughter -Jang Mi's real father will return, and Seo Rin (this is a stretch, because of twin ESP) may still be alive.

Ray Jun 02 2026 4:11 pm Considering that this is a major network's show, don't be surprised if the writer(s) win some prize(s) for this show when 26 awards are announced!

Duh Jun 01 2026 7:50 pm How stupid can the plot be? Now Cha Hwa Young will claim that she is the chairmans daughter? Just to make the story longer, the writer will just do eveb the stupidest plot!

Gb May 30 2026 10:35 am I didn't really watch this drama from beginning when sook hee and dong seok start there relationship. But impossible if dong seok will sleep with hwa young since dong seok love sook hee unless if hwa young do something fishy. Terrible story if jang me and baek hoo are blood related.

Gb May 30 2026 10:29 am @jamse you're right impossible if jung suk he is the lost daughter of the chairman then they are siblings with jang mi's father. So I think jang mi's father is not biological son of chairman. Then the father of baek ho must be manager Lee. Back ho and joon ho are real brothers. The drama gets confusing like so missed up with the plot now. Anyways there more coming eps.to follow we'll see how they manage on making it more sense. I like this drama

Jamse May 30 2026 1:43 am It was a stupid plot twist, but most likely Baek Ho’s father is Manager Lee, who may have abandoned him at birth believing he was Jang Mi’s father’s son.

Alfynn May 29 2026 11:12 pm What the actual f**k are the writers thinking? Can we please move on from the incest plot twists!!!!!

I genuinely enjoyed this series up until Jun Ho started getting obsessed with Jang Mi, and now it feels like the writers are actively punishing us for sticking around for so long....

Nick May 29 2026 10:02 pm This is the worst kdrama I ever watched. The writer is totally insane. Why Baek Ho & Jang Mi has to be sibling? Hello WRITER ... please change the ending .....

Jajajay78 May 29 2026 9:42 pm This is so convoluted and I only stayed to see Chae Hwa Young get her punishment. The actress who played Suk Hee was amazing at Seo Rin's death. I am disgusted and upset at how they just threw away her character. It was obvious that she was expendable as the writers refused to have an possible character growth. Also, Jun Ho is soooooo delusional. Can ANYONE tell me why NO ONE has filed a restraining order on him and asked for a psych consult?

It is obvious what the plot twist they're trying to imply. Baekho is actually Chae Hwa Young's son and Manager Lee obviously felt bad about sending him to an orphanage so he stole one of the toads and placed it with him. So if Baekho marries Jang mi, she ends up marrying the son of the woman who murdered her father, kidnapped and murdered her sister, and forced her mother into this dissociative psychosis. I think it's a stupid plot twist because then it will come to "I can't marry you because you are my half-brother and son of Chae Hwa Young". I think I need to stop watching it because it could have wrapped up about 10-15 episodes ago. I'm sorry but there are so many plot holes that, in real life, would never actually happen. The police would already be involved in so many of these things. Plus, lying about who died is illegal and fraud and would put people in jail. So many plot holes I think I will stop now.

Ahjumma May 29 2026 6:57 pm What? Baekho is Jung Suk Hee’s son, so he is Junho’s brother hahahahha! How stupid the idea of the writer is just to make the story long. And what will happen to Oh Jang Mi? He is not Dongseok’s daughter? Oh common! Just end the story already. Many are watching this just because we are waiting for Cha Hwa Young’s punishment!

Hai May 29 2026 5:38 pm Baek Ho is a son of Hwa Young hahaha my goodness!!!! WTF, now I'm curious what's with that crest symbol related to Baek Ho

sf May 29 2026 4:53 am Baek-Ho is allergic to grapefruit, as Chae Hwa-Young is.

sf May 29 2026 3:34 am Episode 116 is very unrealistically conceived.

MrE May 28 2026 8:10 pm So...it looks like Baek Ho is blood related to Jang Mi and won't be able to marry her.

Ray May 26 2026 4:05 pm Of course this drama's writing is like glued pieces of thorn up script with no guidelines, but one thing keeps coming back. At every turn this so-called chairman who is more interested in his company's stock than his family (which in many cases is true in real world anyway), keeps screwing up and we're to believe a guy like that can manage to build a store front, let alone a corporation?!

Elaine May 23 2026 2:55 pm Wow! Wow!.... what great writer this drama have, keep letting Chae Hwa-Young get away with so much evil doing and to kill off Seo Rin, sure hope she is not dead, but I thought I saw the doctor do something before he insert the drug, may it is my hope that Seo Rin is alive and will release everything and where she hid that voice recorder in Chae Hwa-Young's room and for her delusional son get what is due to him also, he has gotten really creepy.

MrE May 22 2026 9:41 pm I am so upset they killed Seo Rin off. She was my favorite character and I was rooting for her as she was growing from a lazy selfish spoiled brat into someone with a good heart. I was hoping for a happy ending and now it won't. I used to think Jun Ho was simply an unlikeable jerk but he is every bit as evil as his birth parents Chae Hwa-Young and Lee Kang-Hyuk. Just despicable how he tricked Seo Rin into going for the "surgery" that Chae Hwa Young used to murder her. Chae Hwa-Young is a psychopath and serial killer. I am only going to continue to watch just to see her get the punishment she deserves.

Frankie Baby May 22 2026 4:43 am They should've stopped at 120 episodes because they just !%*>up this show. Unless they pull something out their behind and fake this death somehow !!!!!

June May 22 2026 3:10 am Seo Rin was so poorly used, I thought the writers would make her side with Jang Mi and stop the evil mother but no. They just kill her off. If I believe this is a fake out death, I'd watch it again. Otherwise I'm not bothering to finish this.

Ahjumma May 21 2026 6:31 pm The only thing thats keeping me watching this drama is im waiting what punushment they will have for Cha Hwa Young for all the evil things she had done. For all the people she killed without batting an eye! The writer should think of the most cruelest way to let her pay for all the sins she have done! And also, they should have not killed Seo Rin. She is the most pitiful in this drama. She should have lived and experience the true love she longed for.

extended May 21 2026 12:46 pm Wow, they extended this drama from 120 to 140 and they really killed Seo Rin, why? Or maybe the actress playing twins is tired haha, let's admit it's a lot of work to do to play twins. But again I really wish they didn't kill Seo Rin after she knew her mom's dark secret. So disappointed that Joon Ho ended up exactly like her mom, so evil.

I know Baek Ho has also story behind the stamp so when will they show it to us the Baek Ho story.

Dreamhigh May 21 2026 11:46 am Seo-rin killed? why? I think that drama unnecessary to keep longer then finished. I stop watching it.

Moon May 21 2026 5:03 am Why do you need to kill Seo-rin? I hoped that the ending would be beautiful. This is really annoying! It can’t get happy ending anymore! Sook hee protected her daughter was already enough to carzy. Seo-rin was killed, everything is meaningless to watch this movie.

Stephanie May 21 2026 2:03 am Way too much dragging out!!! What an evil woman …. She gets away with everything…not watching anymore…

Terrible script writer May 20 2026 10:03 pm How could a serial killer continue to be allowed to murder his own family? The old man with all the power he has down even know? Please be real writer! This terrible drama needs to end! Another 20 episodes? Whose rating are you following?

This should be the end of Kocowa if they allow this drama to drag as bad as it is.

Alfynn May 20 2026 8:32 pm Wtf??? What are the writers actually smoking?

There is absolutely no way any respectable writer would kill off a character like that!

We already know how evil Chae Hwa-Young is. Having her kill another character so late into the show serves no purpose other than pissing off the viewers who stuck around for Over 100 Episodes!

MrE May 20 2026 7:57 pm I don't like it that Seo Rin was killed. Chae Hwa Young is a serial killer

! May 20 2026 3:47 pm Why did they have to kill Seorin???!! It keeps getting worse but I can’t stop watching now. Give us the finale!!!

bella May 19 2026 3:39 pm Im so sick watching this drama. Its dragging, short episodes (duh) not worth waiting watching daily with no direction, the story is circling around, poor scriptwriting over 100 episodes for what? , if I can give zero rating I will. Its so annoying...

Ray May 19 2026 2:53 pm I was just watching episode 107. You know if one is trying to produce a drama to introduce the world to the Korean people and culture via export, I don't think hiring 3rd rate cheap writers to write every character to be a buffoon, but one scam artist with all the answers, would be the way to go!

Angela Cross May 18 2026 5:47 pm Let’s end this already. It’s getting so stupid Beck Ho was supposed to be in the oops but can’t beat his brother Suk he is always alone in the shop. What the hell is that? It’s this show is very annoying.

Ri May 18 2026 5:40 pm Looks like they were starting to write the episodes to end by 120 (which is 30 to 60 too many, the way it was written). Given that and with such a bad ratings, I wonder adding 20 more, is MBC filling a spot till next one is ready to come out!

brackley May 15 2026 8:25 pm Why do you have to add another 20 episodes when you can end it na , what kind of scriptwriter in this first man , to let that evil Cha Wong get her way always ?please let sook hee be in her normal sense na …. Gosh the episode is already 107 and still Sook hee is still abnormal .. you prolong the episodes. But this Cha Wong is sooooo bad , liar etc

Chingu May 15 2026 7:38 pm This is drama getting annoying. Everything is going again for Cha Hwa Young! Why can they just end the story with chairman Ma finding her real daughter Jung Suk Hee? Every episode is very stupid like how many time would Cha Hwa Young go to the side dish shop as she wishes and everytime she goes there theres only Jung Suk Hee alone.

MrE May 15 2026 2:07 pm So if Suk Hee is Chairman Ma's long lost daughter then Dong Seok was probably adopted(perhaps after he lost his daughter) and is not blood related to either Suk Hee or Chairman Ma.

Ahjumma May 13 2026 7:27 pm I have a feeling Cha Hwa Young will claim that she is the long lost daughter of Chairman Ma. This will make the story longer.

Coolie May 12 2026 5:32 pm I think the writer made all characters dumb and stupid. It's like none of them. All of them from the chairman to the villain daughter in law, yo the twins, to the scumbag affair of that villain. Junho and kang Baek like what's going on. Simple investigative could be resolved but oh no. I guess they want more ratings but the ratings are not going up, it's mediocre. Wow, no sense, too naive, too dumb even everyone have dumb look.??

Ra May 12 2026 5:25 pm I just happen to see episode 102 today. Besides the fact that the whole thing is written like old Japanese B movies, didn't they imply somewhere earlier in the drama that Kang Baek-Ho was in some sort of special forces when he served? Well the way his cook brother kicked his ass, he must have been the platoon dishwasher or something!

MrE May 12 2026 5:25 pm 104 episodes into this now here are some of my impressions:

I have watched KDramas for more than 15 years and Chae Hwa-Young is the most vile and despicable villain I have seen yet. Her son Jun Ho isn't evil like her but he is a jerk.

Professor Kang is a complete scumbag...cheating on his wife who is a good person with that vile monster Chae Hwa Young.

I don't think Suk Hee is the Chairman's long lost daughter this is a red herring. I am guessing Lawyer Han will turn out to be the Chairman's long lost daughter and the twins' Aunt.

Jamse May 12 2026 1:15 pm A whole new drama, and not for the better.

SPOILERS

-Jang Mi suddenly “Oh, everything is my fault.” Really? -Chae Won inevitably pretending to be the Chairman’s lost daughter, just like in a thousand dramas before. -Lawyer Han se ducing Secretary Lee for revenge. Why? Chae Won doesn’t give two hoots about him.

This drama has really lost its way.

Lulu May 10 2026 12:57 pm This is frustrating ...why would he do that to his brother's wedding??? And Jang MI can't get away, just being dragged like that....??? I can't believe this show was extended, so there's going to be more dragging ???? I was so ready for the finale

Alfynn May 09 2026 1:08 am We're officially at the point where logic and reasoning have gone completely out the window.....

I suppose they have to make every character act stupid or else the final arc would have been wrapped up in like 4 episodes

Greg May 07 2026 11:49 pm This drama has gotten to the point where the characters have to be unbelievably stupid just to make the story line work. I mean really, nobody’s as dumb as some of these characters. I guess if one or two of them display just a modicum of sense, the series would be over.

DMM May 07 2026 1:47 pm So Chae Hwa- Young couldn't access her slush fund and Lee Kang -Hyeok wouldn't let the love of his life stay with him, so she's hanging out in an abandoned building? Boo hoo for her. I hope she gets her comeuppance soon, she is beyond annoying!

Ray May 06 2026 4:13 pm So joon-ho is turning out to be his mother in a suit!

Jamse May 06 2026 1:58 pm This drama just took a creepy turn. I guess they had to insert a new story line since it unfortunately got boosted to 140 episodes, but it’s a shame they couldn’t have just stuck with the original focus.

Gb May 06 2026 1:22 am Just wondering who's chairman's ma's lost daughter as they mentioned.

Ahjumma May 05 2026 7:42 pm It is so satisfying to watch Cha Hwa Young being beaten up by lawyer Han Young Ja hahahahha The way she pulled her hair and slap her feels so good! Mistresses and bad people deserves to be treated this way. I just hope this drama ends with this, and no more things that will go in Cha Hwa Young’s side.

F May 04 2026 6:48 pm And the award of being the most pathetic and useless character goes tooo Kant Junho!!!

Jamse Apr 30 2026 2:58 am SPOILERS

This show has been humming, and now the cat’s out of the bag and everyone knows about the twins and what Hwa Young did. But now this drama has been extended to 140 episodes, and most likely what will happen is the twins will end up in competition for the hotel and love, with Seo Rin allying with her murderous fake mom. I hope not, then it just becomes like any other kdrama.

Sandra White Apr 29 2026 11:04 am Amazing I love that add some actress and actors i never seen great job to all hope to see moe shows

Nans Apr 26 2026 5:01 pm And the Crash Out of the century award goes to... Han Young Ja. Nothing but pure, raw, emotions in episode 91. I felt all of her anguish. I wasn't expecting it, but wow, she delivered!!

Ray Apr 25 2026 4:43 pm Just saw episode 89. I realize the last date seen in the park is a varied copy from the drama Lovers in Paris, but in this one is not like she can runaway and hide. He knows where she lives and where she works!

Jamse Apr 24 2026 1:50 pm Jang Mi has been pretty sharp but

SPOILERS

Why can’t she figure out that the second she marries Jun Ho, Chae Won will do her in and replace her with the comatose Seo Rin? A really ridiculous turn of events.

Joongki Apr 24 2026 12:44 pm Guys, this drama is extended by 20 episodes. So it will end at roughly 140-142 episodes (if there will no more cancellations).

Meaning more fights, more dragging. We still have a lot to unpack: Baeky-ssi's parentage, Suk Hee (who could regain her memories), the possible return of Dong Seok, Jun Ho's biological dad, the mystery man who's watching every move of the Ma Family, Chairman Ma's secret investigation, the lipstick-USB, the wedding (will it push through), and Seo Rin finally waking up. I am sensing that she and Jang Mi are gonna clash.

Jamse Apr 16 2026 10:05 pm I know the villains will get their’s in the end, but I hope we’ll be treated to Baek Ho kicking the stuffing out of that sniveling lackey Manager Lee, who carried out every evil command including mur der without a qualm. He deserves some old fashioned punishment before he gets locked up.

Amazing Apr 13 2026 10:47 am Amazing love seeing new actress and actor

CarLeeMinHo Apr 12 2026 10:58 pm My gosh just barely starting episode 32 and i dont want to skip it but this is good character is such the great one.

Chris Apr 08 2026 10:28 pm Sssy what you will about the story, but it will be a crime if Oh Hyun Kyung doesn’t win an award.

Jamse Apr 08 2026 3:30 pm Ah, the logic of dramas. So Chae Won has

SPOILERS

someone take the rap for her mur der charge and walks out of prison? What about the kidnapping and attempted mur der of Jang Mi and her mother by Chae Won who made no attempt to hide the crimes, and with three witnesses and the loathsome mother and daughter complicit in the kidnapping? Plenty to build a case there.

Angela Cross Apr 07 2026 7:00 pm Well, the usual let’s find somebody to go to prison prison must be really sweet in South Korea. That’s the only place I see people trying to go to prison for somebody else. Well well well.

Jose J Apr 03 2026 3:55 pm Episode 76 wow no words people please speak up we need a group discussion!!

Yufa Apr 02 2026 12:20 am I like it so far.. better than the Pearl in red

Lookout Mar 28 2026 7:11 am Definitely a better drama to watch compared to The Woman who swallowed the Sun. I like Kang Jun-Ho in the recent episode after finding out who is her biological mother. He is good looking and good acting as well. I hope he has a good ending and will fall in love with the real Ma Seo Rin.

Jamse Mar 26 2026 4:22 pm At first this drama was dragged down by so many sub-plots, but once they got back to the main story and the twins found out about each other, it’s been an exciting ride. Hope it maintains through the end.

Mini Mar 16 2026 4:40 pm I think the Twins Biological father ( Chairman Son) maybe alive probably wants revenge

Matty Mar 01 2026 11:55 am I just want that POS husband to be caught! What a scumbag he is.

Qiqi Feb 27 2026 3:55 am She better not fight along she involving others will help her

sf Feb 27 2026 1:53 am The crazy woman character becomes annoying.

Lulu Feb 21 2026 2:15 pm It seems like it's only Seo-Rin and Chae Hwa-Young are the only ones that are thinking on their feet...putting pieces together fast...Professor hasn't been eating and basically doing nothing but think and drink and yet, he can't really figure out how coincidentally it was he was part of the accident and the call he had. And Jang- MI...don't even get me started????? Episode 45....and I got to say, first time I'm onto a very long episodes series and I actually want to finish. But the drag is a bit too much sometimes ?

Ahjumma Feb 18 2026 8:19 pm Why do I have a feeling they will kill Seo Rin instead of Jang Mi because they switched? Please dont kill Seo Rin character jebal.

Joe Feb 15 2026 8:26 pm Ma Seo Rin should learn to say Shit right, it's really annoying! Or better yet, just stop saying it.

Gian Louis Feb 14 2026 6:45 am I hope they don't kill Ma Seo Rin's character. I want a happy ending!

Jamse Feb 13 2026 1:37 pm I hope when Jang Mi inevitably takes Seo Rin’s place she doesn’t adopt her language. Getting tired of hearing s**t every 30 seconds.

Elaine Feb 13 2026 1:33 pm What kind of hospital that don't a team for those work to bring a person back to life, on Oh Bok Gl there was only the nurse and the doctor and there was no machine to shock him with, seems the writer needs to do more research on how a person is pronounced dead after they did nothing to really worked on them, very bad acting. and the mother, daughter team is a sad bit also, it's all about the taking over the company for all of them along with Hwa Young and lastly the professor how can he not see Hwa Young is using him and he need to think back to the questions she asked him when he was at the accident site and figure something was not right.

Ahjumma Feb 07 2026 2:15 am I am beginning to like this drama. The story is getting more interesting unlike the other drama(30mins weekdays) that I am watching - A Graceful Liar which the story is getting worser and worser everyday hehehehe.

JeanneBB Feb 04 2026 7:00 pm Episode 37 Feb 4: Does anyone know the song that the Professor was playing on his car stereo before he came up on Bok Gil? It reminds me of a John Barry movie theme like from some Kathleen Turner movie, but I can’t find it.

Jamse Jan 26 2026 8:37 pm The combination of mostly unpleasant characters and endless plot lines (it seems like everyone has a story arc, with the main ones having several), this show is really dragging. They need to tighten things up and get on with the main story. Plus constant repeats, how many times do we need to see attempts on Jang Mi’s life?

Fff Jan 18 2026 4:01 pm Am I the only who thinks one of the twins will die? I’m betting it’s SeoRin

Han Han Jan 15 2026 7:09 pm I think Kang Joon-Ho is Chad Hwa Young long lost son

Dawn M Mabe Jan 10 2026 8:31 pm What's the Professor's deal? I can't figure his game out yet? I have this thought gnawing on me that he is somehow tied to Ma Dong- Seok? I mean Dong-Seok just disappears after the first few episodes never to be heard from again? Maybe they're friends and the Peofessor is going to help him exact revenge? Any thoughts?

Un modeste admirateur Dec 28 2025 7:04 pm I'm watching "The First Man" with my family, and although we're only 4 or 5 episodes in, it's already our favorite drama of the moment, and--who knows? time will tell--our favorite drama of the year. Oh Hyun-Kyung's presence alone is a garantee that you should watch: I've never seen her play in anything but the best long-term dramas, like "Gloria", "The Legendary Witch", "Su-Ji and U-Ri", etc. In fact, in "Su-Ji and U-Ri", she was already paired with Ham Eun-Jung. Now that I think of it, I regret that in my comment to "Su-Ji and U-Ri" I didn't give enough praise to that 2024 drama, from which I have so many vivid memories still. More memories than from my own life in 2024. I wish there was a delete button to erase previous comments I'm not really proud of, but the problem is that I'll have to delete all of them in that case.

SosaHI Dec 28 2025 4:05 am Oh Hyun-Kyung very different role for her. The female lead is playing 2 parts. Glad it's 120 episodes Seems like a good start looking forward to see how this unfolds.

An Dec 27 2025 4:34 am Am so ready for 120 episodes. This is a bloody good kdrama gave me the same feels when I started watching CRASH LANDING ON YOU. The daughter in law is a brilliant actress. That part really suits her. I think a short episode a day suits me otherwise I could binge watch all day. Watching concurrently with IDOL I thought so much greasy KDrama. Am super intrigued how Korea churns great drama so frequently. Britain needs to pull up their socks.

Tybolt Dec 26 2025 2:20 pm In one of the very first Korean Dramas that I watched, the actress playing the twins' mother played little Jung Da Bin's mother, whose character had also suffered a brain injury. It was Eugene's drama called 'Really, Really Like You' aka 'Love Truly.' The saddest part of that drama was her character's struggle against the odds to care for both herself and her daughter while her husband was smitten with country girl in the big city, Kim Eugene. Speaking og whom, I'd really be happy to see Eugene return to acting!

Ginger Dec 20 2025 1:19 am I think this kdrama will have 120 episodes.
