Karma can be a bitch
First I have to give kudos to Lee Jin Wook. He’s one of my favorite actors. However, he was riveting in this drama.For me there was nothing better than watching the entitled 4 turn on each other and lose everything. The entitled 4 were so narcissistic. I hate to say it but I felt that Oh Tae Suk should’ve suffered the same demise as Kim Hak Bum. I kept wanting Kang In Ho to show at least an nth of remorse at least for his family. Of the four my heart went out to Seo Joon Hee - he seemed to be the only one who finally got it and was willing to pay for his crimes.
I was also moved by Geum Na Ra. It was bad enough how she learned about her husband’s affair but then to find out that he was responsible for the death of a 9 year old and wasn’t willing to accept responsibility. Sadly he got off too easily.
Choi Ja Hye’s scheme for revenge was perfection as the entitled 4 turn on each other and made her revenge scheme that much easier.

Took Me a while to get into it but then…
The first couple episodes were somewhat off putting because the oldest kids were off putting. I never did warm up to the selfish oldest son; his whiny wife or mother in law. However, if it weren’t for Kang Sim and Tae Ju I don’t know if I would have finished this drama. In the end, I’m glad I did watch all the episodes. Sure the In law Moms were somewhat meddlesome so I just FF’d through it if they were too ridiculous.A shame more time wasn’t given to Soon Bong and Bok Ja.
My favorites ended up being Tae Ju, Kang Sim and Eun Ho.
What I loved the most was Soon Bong’s mission to bring his kids back to realizing that being family and having fun was the most important.

Great Family Dynamic
It’s Beautiful Now was so refreshing that I was sorry to see it come to an end. I have to admit that it took me awhile to get into it because once I figured who was going to paired with whom, I kind of lost interest. Also, I have to admit that after I watched Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life with Oh Min Suk I decided to take a second look at It’s Beautiful Now. I’m glad I did.This drama was so refreshing because there were no real battles for inheritances or revenge schemes. The father son grandsons loving relationships was heartwarming. The brothers interaction was hilariously funny yet comforting.
Yoon shi Yoon’s and Seo Bum Jun’s performances broke my heart when their characters had broken up with their girlfriends. I found myself happy that I did not have to wait until the 50th episode to see them get back together.. Although I was kind of disappointed that Soo Ja and Yu Na were kept apart for so long. I thought they were the cutest couple of all three relationships.
Like I said, I’m sorry it’s over. However, I will watch again because it was such a feel good drama.

Season 3 was better than ever
Season 3 characters, especially the new characters, was not disappointing. I am more disappointed that I’ve watched all the episodes already.I just love how Master Kim can turn a difficult moment into a teachable and encouraging moment; and that his most loyal students had also in turn done the same thing with their juniors even when the seniors were still learning. They even gave Dr. Kang something to think about.
I hope there’s a season 4 because I would love to see Drs. Kang and Seo work together.

Gruesome
I’m not why I finished this drama because it was so gruesome. All I can think of why, is that it was the actors.All the family wanted was enough money for surgery for their sweet little son who bound them together. Even the once l, thought to be dead grandfather, became concerned about his son and his family.
The police and the thugs were so inhuman. I watched the ending to see what bad guys would end up dead. Sounds morbid, doesn’t it? Sadly not one good cop survived.
Money and power. What a horrible human race we can be.

Accentuated My Mistrust of MSM
I couldn’t really get into HUSH in the first episode but I am glad I hung in there.The premise of this drama really intrigued because I hoped that there are journalists like the 6 journalists that exposed the behind the scenes of mainstream media.
My biggest disappointment was that the Chief Na Sung Won really didn’t suffer any consequences even though he was the most evil.
That the six journalists left to start their own news outlet was what I was hoping for and was happy to see it come to fruition.

Started out good
I don’t know what happened but around episode 17 I was ready to call it quits.I’m still trying to understand why Mr. Choi and Mr. Hong were turned into villains with no consequences. Their side story was a waste of airtime. If Han Seung Joo was so valuable why didn’t the guy who offered her a position claiming his company needed her do something to keep her?
I also wondered why we were presented with two bratty younger siblings and that selfish mother.
The only side stories I enjoyed were the grandmothers worrying about Jak Doo and then taking in the young kid. The young kid’s Dad turning his son over to the bio dad made absolutely no sense, either.
I also just loved Cho Bong Sik. Thankful for the grandmothers and Bong Sik for providing humor.
The FL started out to be a favorite but by the 14th or 15th episode she started to irritate me. Unfortunately I never warmed up to her again, even after she married Jak Doo.
For me there was too many holes in storylines left unanswered.
I won’t rewatch it even though I loved both Kim Kang Woo’s and Jung Sang Hoon’s performances.

Overall I liked it because of the comedy. My favorites were:
Ms. Han and grandpa were hilarious. I missed Ms. Han when she gave up her disguise.
Jun Soo and Ah Ri made a cute couple.
The Dads were awful, especially Ah ri’s dad. He was so tiresome that I found myself hating him more than Bo Ra’s dad. I was so done with both of them at the end.
Meal time and podcast taping at Grandpa’s was always fun to watch.
Loved that the ex-wife and current wife teamed up against the husband.
