I am at episode 42 now and I find it hard to continue watching. The fake daughter story is really getting on my nerves. Yeojin tries to pretend she loves "her daughter" (but then reminds her of her actual deceased daughter when buying shoes together), and Hana keeps on being manipulated into thinking that she is Yujin. And of course Se Yeong who always has the upper hand to bully her.

The whole purpose of creating the "fake daughter" already doesn't make sense. If it's to protect Eun Chong, then why not adopt Hana instead, and let Hana adopt Eun Chong, so all 3 of them can "legally" become families together without the deceit and lies?

Feel bad for the ice cream at the end of episode 6. Such a waste. :)

Things get more complicated by the end of episode 79.

Have watched the last episode, and it felt bland, empty, and inconclusive. I felt it was a bit rushed, and while everyone has a happy ending, it's not clear how everyone will end up.

We know Taewoong and Charim will get married, but how about Gangju and Darim? I know they are back together but will they get married eventually, and will Gangju's mom approve it? It wasn't clear.

How about Chairman Ji, is he pursuing a relationship with Bong Hee after she leaves the prison, will they be going with the travel plan Chairman Ji has put up?

How about Mi Yeon, did she eventually end up with Gi Dong and get married? Are Shin and Bom finally becoming siblings? It was not clear.

How about Murim and Suji, do they get back together and continue with their marriage registration? Does Suji's mom, the police chief Mi Ok, approve?

So many unanswered questions. :)

This drama was excellent but despite the fast pace, bad writing in the last couple of episodes brought it down the drain. There are just so many nonsensical things.

- 90-year-old and 88-year-old elderlies being sentenced to prison.
- Chairman Ji and his son Tae Woong didn't do anything about what happened.
- The Iron Family is still being arrested despite fully recovering the money.
- The hate from the police chief towards the family, which is considered her in-laws.
- The greedy Baek Ji Yeon (Gangju's mom) who is as cruel as the police chief for not wanting to forgive the family (despite getting all the money back)
- Plus her stupidness for not wanting to hire police escorts while bringing her money from the police station to the bank.
- And last, but not least, our poor Gangju again have to sacrifice himself for whoever is around him (his mom, Darim, etc you name it). It seems the writer is not satisfied enough to torture Gangju all the way until the final episode. I was, what the heck???
- Why did Gangju have to step out of the car to confront the Love Capital thugs? He could've just sped up the car (run them over if needed) to get the money to safety.
- And which mother would want to leave her son to die so that she can save the money?

Too many nonsensical plots. It's a shame since this drama started very well for almost the first three-quarters of it.

I will still watch the final episode today, though. Although I already can guess how it will end based on the preview.

Based on the preview of episode 77, it seems that Gong Hee cancelled her wedding with Ming Gi.

Is the guest actress in the episode 8 preview: Kim Shin Rok (The Kidnapping Day, Hellbound, Sweet Home 2-3)?

Love episode 7. The fact that Jiyun was the first one who confessed to Eunho that she likes him, is really heartwarming. I'm so glad that they can finally express their feelings for each other.

No, I don't think so. If the two girls were switched at birth, that means Eun Chong is not the chairman's biological grandson.

I think eventually the chairman will adopt Hana, who will then adopt Eun Chong.

I must admit that the first 3 episodes are quite dull, but the 4th one is getting better. For those of you holding on or considering dropping after watching the first 2 or 3 episodes, I recommend you continue watching until the 4th episode and then decide whether you want to drop it.

Another issue is that this drama is not available in any legal streaming platforms such as Viu, Netflix etc (at least in my country). So it's not as popular as other dramas for the international viewers.

"It becomes Otel California".
"It's not motel? Otel?"

I kept on watching this because of Eun-seo, even though she only appears sparingly in flashbacks. The cute and talented child actress is always a delight to watch on screen. I'm so happy she has more screen time in the 4th episode.

Mix of Western and Asian.

I think he refers to the Seonju and Sang-ah's art entrance exam in the past, when Sang-ah put something on Seonju's drink or food (I can't remember) causing her to have stomach upset and couldn't take the exam.

He left both girls in the car for quite a long period. He was reckless. Both Yujin and Seyeong were only still little girls when Yujin disappeared.

Seeing Gang Ju smirking at his mom saying that he doesn't need to break up with Darim anymore since his mom's threat is powerless now... warms my heart.

I hope Gangju's mom and Murim's mother-in-law (the police chief) will rot in hell!

done. :)

No worries, she's not as overworked as Eun Seo (Motel California, Family By Choice, Love Next Door, Perfect Family, Hellbound 2) but Soyu still have lot of repertoire up her sleeve. They are of the same age (born in 2017).

Also, I can't get enough of watching Ki Soyu, the child actress portraying Byeol, on screen. I have been a fan of Soyu since she was very young—Our Blues, Unlock My Boss, The Good Bad Mother, O'PENing: 2:15—and we can see that her acting skills keep on improving as she grows up.

The cinematography is spectacular. The scene when Jiyun meets Eunho to watch the piano recital Is perfect, with the crowd, with some children holding balloons, bubbles flying, and the fountain in the background. Awesome.

I love this drama very very much.
