I would really love to see the two spoiled brats (Hyun Ha and Moon Sik) end up together, after some bickering and confrontation! It would be much more interesting and funny than Sun Ha and Kyung Soo's boring and frustrating relationship... Lee Mi Yeon, meow, hwaiting!!!
That's why Greek philosopher Solon said:"μηδένα προ του τέλους μακάριζε", which can be interpreted as: don't regard anyone as blessed/happy, before you see his ending... What a waste of talent, what a waste of time, what a waste of our high expectations...
What a refreshing, funny, emotional, positive drama! The story was nothing new or impressive: just ordinary people with ordinary lives, with no evil characters and well balanced comic-romance-drama moments. Lee Yoo Bi as Woo Bo Yeong was simply delightful: funny, honest, hard-working, strong-minded... an excellent lead! Strongly recommended to watch between more 'heavy' and 'sophisticated' dramas of this season!
How ridiculous all of you are.I was ready to jump down that entitled widow's throat when she purred at the cook's…
"How ridiculous all of you are." Really??? Will you, please, stop insulting all of us who don't (and will never) have the same narrow-minded opinions of yours? You call us children (yes, I am indeed a child of my parents and I have two children of my own, so what's your point?), but YOU are the childish one... This is a drama, for heavens shake, and you're not an appointed MDL judge of our likes, dislikes and reasoning in our posts, so why do we have to justify to your stereotypical mindset everything we post? Even concerning this imaginary plot, why we must only empathize with the poor and ordinary and never with the rich and beautiful, is it a crime? When someone is self-battling with a divorce, does it always mean that he/she stopped loving and caring for their mate and family? [And don't forget that she never cheated, or even replied to the CEO's flirting, with whom you so strongly want to mate her!] Is it so natural and easy for everyone to sleep next to an unfamiliar body, knowing that it belonged to someone else's husband? Is it that easy for a woman and mother to cut off two children from their father and destroy their family, so as to save hers? I'm trying hard to put myself in this situation and it is very difficult, emotionally and ethically, to find the best solution, but for you, I guess it's only black or white... So, if this questioning seems ridiculous and disgusting to you, try to find some politeness inside you and express it in a more civilized manner like we do, or keep it to yourself!
Yes, she's driving Hyun Cheol away. In a way, I sympathize and understand her because she's insecure and scared…
Totally agree! She should be more understanding and not demanding... It's an unfathomed situation in which everyone involved is trying hard to become accustomed to, but she is behaving like nothing changed and nobody but her is hurting! On the other hand, Hye Jin approached her first, not only once, trying to find a common place for further action, or, at least, to understand her side!
If it wasn't for Ra Mi Ran, I would start feeling veeery uncomfortable with the selfish turn of Yeon Hwa's character... Hyun Cheol 's father and daughter are more understanding!
I hope this incident will finally alert k-entertainment industry so as to stop promoting the concept that drunk and arrogant behavior is manly and totally acceptable/forgivable when you are young, beautiful and rich! Fame and shallow character is always a bad combination, so let's see if that loss of fame will teach this ungrateful offender a lesson..
I believe that with this role IU re-established herself not as one of too many idols-turned-to-wanna-be-actresses, but as a professional 'grown-up' actress, ready to deliver any demanding role!
Another very realistic slice of (police) drama from writer Noh Hee Kyung, who once again managed to deliver a powerful story and melt our hearts with all the team members stories and hardships, as well as all the sensitive cases solved.
For me, the star of the show was definitely Bae Sung Woo (both in action and romance), but also Shin Dong Wook and Lee Soon Jae harabeoji left the strongest impression!
The only weakness of the drama was the romance aspect of Lee Kwang Soo's role and the forced and unnecessary love triangle. While Shin Dong Wook had all the charisma needed for a leading romantic role (and I really hope to see him in one very soon!), Lee Kwang Soo was rather miscast: he always seemed frowning, grouchy or angry and his flirting was blunt and pushy instead of charming.
Special kudos to the drama's OST - beautiful songs and music, especially the song Carry Me from Family of the Year!
Be still my beating heart! What a dilemma, what a heartbreak, what a performance -for all three main leads! What an innovative story, what a wonderful outcome -for all of us!
Beautiful short story of friends-turned-to-lovers, with two adorable main leads. Kim Sun Ho, after two scene-stealing support roles in "Two Cops" and "Strongest Deliveryman" he gets a deserving main role, even though it's in a short drama. Looking forward for more!
During the first episodes what I really-really enjoyed was the refreshing romance approach this drama introduced: their flirting, touching, kissing, looking and talking was what real couples in head-over-heals love do! No awkward/accidental cliché-type scenes, no dear-caught-by-the-lights-of-a-car-at-night looks while kissing... everything seemed not forced, but totally natural. But now, I don't know exactly what went downhill, as many comments also state... Maybe the melodrama and the frustration are unnecessary increased and the pace reduced? Perhaps there are too many annoying characters (some of them even not that necessary for so many episodes, like the ex-jerk or princess-syndrome coworker Se Young)? I also have the feeling that something is lacking, but I'm still watching ...
Very enjoyable and easy watchable drama! A bit exaggerated and frustrating sometimes, but funny and interesting enough to keep me hooked. Balancing between rom-com and melodrama, not too serious and not too realistic, it's really entertaining and you should give it a try!
Excellent survey, analysis and interpretation! How much of your time did you dedicate for this, I wonder...!
Personally, I've completed about 535 (maybe I forgot to add in my list some older ones) and dropped 27-mostly from Comedy-Romance genre, but I have to admit that, for a few completed dramas, I've skipped some 'boring' parts.
Before I start a completed drama, I visit its page on MDL and see the comments of fellow viewers with whom I have similar preferences, so almost every time I finish it successfully (dropped 15 until 2016). But when watching currently airing dramas (unfortunately Ι was tempted and it became a habit last year) things are more risky since the 'haters'-'lovers' battles are sometimes misleading, so my dropping ratio increased (dropped 12 from 2017).
Dropping a drama means that I lost interest or something in it really annoyed me, so I don't feel guilty and I move on to the next drama of my PTW list!

Unfortunately, there are only 4 (why?) episodes more to enjoy...
It would be much more interesting and funny than Sun Ha and Kyung Soo's boring and frustrating relationship...

Park Hyung Sik created a character of his own and it rocks!
And the main instrumental theme is sooo good...
What a dilemma, what a heartbreak, what a performance -for all three main leads!
What an innovative story, what a wonderful outcome -for all of us!
