Only KBS still makes weekend dramas.... all the other networks have discontinued theirs. It's just KBS that broadcasts two weekend dramas at a time - one revenge makjang and another family one. This falls under the family category. I think the current revenge makjang is Red Shoes.

Episode 13 OH MY GOODNESS I have been rolling around the couch squealing like a little pig because of how cute our main couple is!!!! I can't stop rewinding to the part where he's standing in fron of her, offering her that coffee... he's sooooo handsome and the height difference just KILLS me every single time!

I really should be hating the whole ahjumma arc and sometimes things are cringey but I am OBSESSED. Love how the writer didn't drag out the "let's torture FL using dementia as an excuse" arc didn't even last that long and both witches were put in their place FAIR AND SQUARE!

The more I watch, the more I feel so sorry for poor YG... that man has one HELL of a time managing that househol overflowing with crazy women! Whoever compared him to a Joseon king was a genius.... I can literally envision him in king's robes, looking at the out-of-control witches in his household 😂 Glad to see him talking to what seems to be a guy friend in the preview. I hope th friend isn't just a plot device and we can see him having a good friend and confidante.... same goes for DD. Wish the mc had some good friends to support them.

she is SO BEAUTIFUL! And I srsly love her character.... def one of my favorites!!

AMAZING movie! Makes you laugh and cry and then laugh and then cry all over again... love everything about it

Honestly, I'll take amnesia happily if it's done right. The only amnesia plot I've ever seen done right is Shopaholic Louis. And maybe 100 Days My Prince. This plot reminds me of the animated Italian/American series, Winx Club, I used to watch as a kid. The ML gets amnesia after he gets together with FL, and the mean girl makes him believe that he's engaged to her and not the FL. It sparks lots of sadness and other craziness, but I liked the way that plot was handled. It wasn't frustrating. It actually brought a new depth to the main relationship in the end.

This is a special type of drama, simply called a weekend drama. It airs only on weekends and is aimed at the older/family audiences. It's the equivalent of a soap opera or telenovela. The production quality won't be as good as the usual weekday/web dramas, and the pacing is usually slower and easy to follow. You'll see seasoned/veteran actors slightly exaggerate their acting or tone down on the intimacy because this is a different genre that is supposed to be very family-friendly/traditional.
There are two kinds of weekend dramas - melodramatic revenge(makjang) dramas and family dramas. This one falls under the "family" category.

LMAO IKR?!! I find myself swooning over absolutely nothing! I really might not be able to handle it if they kiss! Hyun Woo says he "tones down on the kissing in weekend dramas so older audiences don't feel uncomfortable" but I have a sneaky suspicion I won't be able to handle the toned-down version either!

Unlike you, the SR-DB couple is just getting boring and repetitive for me :(

Never Twice - it's about an inn-owner who treats the people who come to board as her own children. They're one big family. I liked almost all the arcs and it was a heartwarming, lovely drama. Bonus: KWAK DONG YEON(Moonlight Drawn By Clouds) as a CEO who falls in love with a young single mom. His interactions with the cute little baby made my heart explode 😍

There's also Five Enough, but I haven't watched it yet. The reviews are really good for that one.

so is it a happy ending? the two stay alive till the end?

It's ridiculous, it's a little funny, slapstick comedy. There are worse ways to waste time.

oh I always say that a fangirl never ages^^ I'm friends with a lot of amazing fangirls who have crossed their 60s and 70s!
I'm still in my teens, but I love this drama. It's so comfortable, light and relaxing... reminds me of the old-timey heartwarming kdramas 🥰

LOL I had the same reaction!

also, I love how DD is so real. She never pretends, like that two-faced witch, SR.

this is only a theory, but I find myself enjoying more dramas produced in even years (2016, 2018, 2020). The lineup for 2022 looks pretty interesting, with all my favorite older actors (Lee Joon Gi, So Ji Sub, Yoo Seung Ho, etc.).
However, I do agree... kdramas somehow just aren't the same these days. This drama still has some of what drew me to Kdramaland in the first place.

It comes every week so I'm hoping it's worth the time I'm investing into it. Till now, the story is quite fluffy, light, adorable and fun. It's perfect to keck back, relax, and enjoy. This is a weekend drama, so it comes with its flaws. The ahjummas are rather annoying, and if you haven't watched a weekend drama before, the production quality will seem weird to you sometimes. Take everything with a pinch of salt. It's the Korean equivalent of a soap opera/telenovela. The main couple and the children are SO adorable, they make me forget all the drama's flaws.

Agh, I really thought this was going to be a romantic comedy. I cried my eyes out. Such a beautiful movie. The main actors really acted the heck out of their roles. What a plot twist!

because it's an ADVERTISEMENT for Lotte Duty Free.

i can't waittttttttt... if this is what stopped D.O from appearing at SMTOWN Wonderland, IT BETTER BE GOOD.

I understand Korean age. But in this case, in relation to OP's post, 1 or 2 years makes no difference. You might as well just use whichever age system you want. I used only the age given in the drama to simplify things, since my main point was that ML won't remember even his first meeting with FL.

exactly! When I try to explain the story to someone, it feels flat and stupid... I can't really describe why or what makes this show soooooo addictive!
