I never watched a 100 episode maljang before. I am a bit scared. But...I did watched What is wrong woth my family and My husband's git a family mexican versions and If I have survived to that remade shit I think I can pull a Korean original through. Or at least I hope.
I started this drama because of a side character which was Lee Sung Yeol's character Officer Hung Cheol. But has not appeared in any episode after 20 someting because he had to leave the show for the INFINITE LIMITED EDITION Asian Tour. At the beginning I did not lnew who the leads where and when I saw Kim.Jung Hyun pne of my all time favorites AND Choi Tae Joon I literally screamed. I am sorry that Tae Joons potential in this drama was absolutely wasted and I belive he did not deserve the award he won. It should have been haraboji taking it since his character had more grouth , deapth and screen time.
As for Kim Jung Hyun he became the entire resaon why I fisinshed this series. Almost finished. I still have to watch the finale.

It was a bit hectic yes. But I would not call it depressing. More like releaving. The grannies and the mother even though imprisioned and end even though they were crying and thebcell mates could nòt stand them they managed to finally sleep well and stop javing nightmears. JinYeon started to finally melt in front of Gangju...Gangju stoped feeling gulity for her and confronted her about Da Rim and on a dyaly bases he would come to chat with his mom aboutvDa Rim rekecting him and how could he gain Da Rim back. And his mother was like "Shut up already", "I am not your mom", "I am not your best friend"...but she would always let him seat by her side and listen to him in the end. And yes...he got beaten up to save her life. But his plan was preatty good actually...he just head bad luck with the car of the theifs...you are going to see what I am talking about. Plus this sudden coma has moved Sueng Dong to the ground to the point he went to kick the ass of the men that almost killèd Gangju. Or at least that is wjat the preview shows. The atmosphere just detenes a bit with all the beating parts. I am not a fan o violence but that is how I felt after the episode. It was the first episode that did not provoke me a migrain or a tahicardia. And I mean it.

At least he understood now how Gangju felt when they buliied their beloved "nuisence". But yeah it was sad to see them imprisoned near really bad people. I keep saying that they do not belong in prison. They are 90 years old. One had a cancer operation, the other one a heart attack. They should have recieved home arrest or comunity service and a fine to pay. And Bong Hwi...she turned out to be a sadomasochist. She liked being punished by violnce appearently....why?

Well at least their neighbour the restaurant lady woke up and realised they were not actually a bunch of criminals but just poor and unlucky people that have stolen out of necesity.

That is true. I guess the scene was done this way so that Gangju would prove to his mom that he is still her son. Ji Yeon needed a hard slap on the face to realise that that money means nothing If she reamins alone. Plus how else was he going to convince his mom to approve of Da Rim and her family?

I hope so because unfortunatelly I heared some people here backlashing the actor beacause of hs failed relationship with a certain lady actress that they were keen on and they were judging him without even knowing that he proved legally and medicaly that he was the victim. Up to this day he still feels the need to apologize even If he did nothing wrong. What he did confrunting depression and major psichological ilnesses and overcoming the terrible korean industry and society is just amazing. His love for acting and music kept him alive. He could have terminated his life as many others yet he took time off to cure himself and returned more powerfull then ever. Just because things did not ended up well romantically between him and the actress It does mean he should be backlashed. It is not our buisness what happened between them. If they are fans of her it is ok be fans of her without the need to execute him on the spot. It is not fair. He worked his ass to be where he is and he proved with medical documents that he was the victim and not otherwise. Case closed and back to your lifes. If you do not like him at least do not ruin the plessure of others that love him for what he is. An extraordinary human being. And an extraodrinary actor. Do not like him...skip the drama....or his scnes if you can...
Jizz...why are human beings so mean to other human beings? its disgusting.

Agreed. But the drama also explained somehow why he could never call back. First it was the Military Service which back then was 3 years. Then it was the MBA he took oversees. And during the same time he also had to work so he's pay for his film studies which he did because it was their dream to create movies togheter. Then he had to work for daddy dearest so that his dad will not leave his mother. I guess It was never the time until he was car crashed on that crosswalk in front of her. I now....he should have called while in the army. But the situation was preatty akward. Because If you remember she wanted to cut all thies with him after the ons. Even If he had called while in the army back then he had nothing to offer to her. He could not help her regain her sight or help the family in need as he was just a young boy back then. This does not excuse him. But somehow explains him.

And Crash landing on you and Kokdu: season of diety.

friendly advice...Make sure you have migrain and heart pills nearby you.

1) Yet to find out tomorrow when it ends
2)They start dateing way to late in the drama but there romance start around ep 23 or 24 with baby steps. Very very lento....
3) Yes they do because they are threatened to.
4) Do not know....we hope tomorrow before THE END appeares on the screen....that If Gangju wakes up from coma.

Brace yourself....he will do even more....

Defenetlt the Xanax.

I cannot understand you....he even recieved the TOP EXCELLENCE AWARD for Gangju's role. His character was supposed to be like that and his character has growen up so much. He was given a lot of screen time because he is the ML and the character that connects all the other characters. I agree with Tae Joon's potemtial being wasted but his character was so useless in this drama that If you had taken him away the drama would still go the same. I also thought that he and Hae Ji had a great chemestry and that they should have been given more screen time insead of the histerical mother of Gangju, or the gringy chairmen with Bong Hwi. And I would have also wanted more romance between Gangju and Da Rim. But honestly the writernim seems to have hated Gangju....all that character was put through...If I were in his place I do not know how I would have portrated Gangju otherwise. It mght look like a silly and overacted role but it is actually a ver difficult character to portray. All of his co actros praised him for what he did and called him esential for this project to be what it is.

But e got car crashed in the first episode on a cross walk and beaten up to the point he ended up in a coma this last episode. So not that far.

Episode 19 is exactelly where hell begins....Gangju's hell...and Gangju's love for everybody. You thought the kimchi box scene was heartbreaking? Well that mental breakdown is nothing compared with what comes next...


SPOILER ALERT....he commited crimes to help Da Rim and the family, he turned himself in so that they would recive a lower sentence, he faced a trial with the entire family , he made up every single won they have stollen to give that back to his mom and then in order to protect his mom he got beaten beadly and ended up in coma. The writers really hate him. Oh...let 's not forget that when the story started he was literally car crashed on their magic crosswalk....and this last attack on him also happened on a crosswalk. It is almost poetic. Just brace yourself....pills required. For migrans and tahicardias.

Beacuse the only way to run with that money would have been runing over one of them with the car. They came prepared with a bat and everything. If Gangju was to just give them the money for their lives oit would have been sort of a secound treason.

About that...how on earth will Yun Hwa help her kill or imprison his own father? Su Ra cannot help withou a rang and power and Eun Ho apperently has to get engaged...does not look like her crew will help much except Eun Ho that works with Meol Hwa.

She has a plan behind it. She wants to do what Seol Mae Hwa did...meaning play his loyal servent so that she can actually get revange on him with facts. So she reveled her identity to make him believe she is on his side. And she mentioned Meol Hwa as the killer in order to luer him.into beliving she knows nothing about him planning to kill her and steal the key. Actually she is damn smart.

But I adore the cast as it is. Su Ra is a cutey. Eun Ho and Yun Hwa are to melt for...not just cutes but also comic. Amd Myeong Ho that was the salt and pepper of the first half of the drama. They are perfect as they are. With Eun Woo idk If we could have takennthe drama not serious and just laugh at it. Who would you have casted him as? Eun Ho that belives he is gay...Yun Hwa the lovey dovey? Myeong Ho the bad guy? Or meaby Go Su Ra the counsciousness if all? 😂 After seeing Cha Eun Woo in Wondefull world In such a serious role at least to me would be kind of difficult to pictire him as any of the 4 mentioned.

No he is not. He is there for fun and moral support. Have you not seen that he helped Deok Su hide her identity form Myeong Ho and the top row? He is the only friend of her that does not jave romantic intwntions and that has his head on his shoulders. Unlike the others he does not have a secret ramg so he works hard with what he can to help. He does not even know who is friends really are yet he is always there encourageing Deok Su in her adventures.
You can call him the concieousness of all the characters.

They did pissed us so much but I am rooting for Myeong Ho to mature a little bit and change...because we are talking about Hoya...he was the salt and pepper of the first half of the series. If he was not there the 4 protagonists would nkt be tested so much and would not be able to evolve so much. Plus we have seen that Myeong Ho is not even there because he wants but more because he is obligated to by his clan. He is freaked out of being uneployed so he attacks the conpetition meaning Deok Su. The problem with him is that he actually likes her. And I know it sound stupid but he looks like one of those ML in an enemies to lovers kind of tropue right now. However there is enough drama with Mr Eun Ho that cannot open his eyes wode open and Yun Hwa that does not know thatbher father wants to eather use or kill the women he loves...
So Myeong Ho does not have a place anymore on the love web. That would be way too much for an historical comedy/romance drama.

But I think it wluld have been more fun to see a love triangke with Myeong Ho involved rather then Yun Hwa. YunnHwa is cute but it just sucks seeing to such great friends rootong forbthe same lady. (Or manly men in Eun Ho's frustrating case).
