September 19th, 2012 at 6:02 am
this drama is not good without eun jung t-ara
i don’t like this drama n the management this drama…
September 19th, 2012 at 6:03 am
I must say that this drama is getting better in ep 9 & 10. I guess it’s because YJH is finally waking up and will revenge. I have the confidence that it’s going to grt better and better Also I like His new hair style much better. The previous one was so weird, it’s like from 1930″s.
September 19th, 2012 at 6:04 am
eun jung is the best
September 19th, 2012 at 11:43 am
Enjoying this drama very much. Young Ran is as evil as she can be and I love the chemistry between the cast. It’s dark alright in the Yoo household. On the surface, they seem like a loving family, mother and sons with plenty of hugs and touching but beneath it, there are layers of betrayals and back stabbing. On the other side of the town, Dami and her family, loving and cheerful at the beginning suffer the comsequences of being in contact with one member from the Yoo household. Looking forward to seeing JiHo rise to the challenge and betrayal. Love how Dami is like a beacon of light to the otherwise “dark” brothers and I hope she remains like that. I feel for In Ha because I pity him and so far, his only fault is wanting to be better than Jiho. I wonder what will happen to him once he finds out the truth about his mother’s involvement in so many evil deeds? At this point, I am on Dami/Inha’s ship because I think their chemistry is better

i watch first episode and i’m hesitate to continue it, i just feel like the story has much similarity with “baker king kim tak goo” the different is they try to achieve their dream to become pianist in baker king their dream is become the best bakery. Baker king Kim Tak Goo is one of my favorite drama all time

September 24th, 2012 at 3:56 am
she is acting so boring
September 24th, 2012 at 8:11 am
I like Jin Se Yun. She doesn’t look fake. Most importantly, she can act despite being a newcomer.
Jen Se Yun, FIGHTING! I really admired your acting in My Daughter The Flower. Don’t let “ugly words” put you down.
September 24th, 2012 at 5:37 pm
lol pathetic drama… I hope this drama will end very fast.. just a waste
September 24th, 2012 at 6:01 pm
I love how things are really heating up when there is so much more of the drama left. Now that Ji Ho is finding out more about what really happened the night he thought Young Ran intentionally saved him, I want to see how he handles this for more than just a couple of episodes.
When Five Fingers first started, I thought Ji Ho wouldn’t find out the truth until the last few episodes. That would have meant compressing the fallout into just a few shows. I hate when dramas do that.
So far, I’m enjoying this drama, I just wish the subs were faster.
September 25th, 2012 at 12:56 pm
@agave Yes, I agree with you. I am so excited about the next episode to see what happens next. The pace of the drama is good and we still have many episodes to go and so much more to be revealed. And we have yet to see Woo Jin and his boss carry out their revenge. Love the appropriate background music, lovely/romantic or suspense when the scene calls for it. Read that the OST is a hit in Korea when it was released.Can’t wait to see Episode 11 & 12 with subs. Looking forward to seeing JiHo kicking up a fuss too!!! Wish the subs were faster too but I don’t mind the waiting as long as it’s quality subs
September 26th, 2012 at 4:16 am
plzzz who can lead me to the Opening title of this drama ?
September 26th, 2012 at 6:12 am
@Jennie, I’m also looking forward to seeing JW get more involved in Young Ran’s life again. We know that Woo Jin is focused on revenge against Young Ran, but I’m curious about whether JW will find that he still has feelings for Young Ran. If he does, things could get really messy because Woo Jin is like a bullet that can’t be put back into the gun. There’s no way he’s going to allow anything to keep him from getting his revenge.
Regarding the OST, I’m not surprised it’s a hit because viewers have been begging for the OST since just after the first few episodes.
I’ve been trying to be patient about waiting for subs, but it’s hard. From reading the previews, JiHo’s blinders about Young Ran are slowly and painfully coming off. It’s going to be interesting to see him struggle with his love for her while he’s also forced to protect himself from her.
September 26th, 2012 at 7:56 am
Jin se yun the worst actress!! her face & acting so boring!!! i hope this is the last drama for you
September 27th, 2012 at 5:06 am
JJH is a good actor, I’d like to see him in a drama with YEH again. They have good chemistry together and both have certain acting qualities that gell.
September 27th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
@agave Not sure if I have missed out anything but I don’t understand why JW hates YR so much. It can’t be that she left him and married Yoo Manse because he was poor. I just finished watching Episode 11 and my, things are really getting heated up. I love the step grandma. I thought she was going to be such a pain but she turns out to be the wisest one of of them all and definitely Jiho’s guradian angel. The sweatshirt was a stroke of brilliance and I was so excited that Jiho caught on so quickly and connected the dots
Inha’s character is a disappointment though. I thought there’d be some brotherly love among them two and expected some inner struggle when he found out about his mum’s involvement but he turns out to be just an ordinary and predictable villian 
Hope the writer will give more thought for his character development. And the lyrics of the song is so beautiful. Love it! Can’t wait to listen to the second one by Homme. Love the songs by these two guys always

Yay…subtitle episode 11 and 12 in Viki: 100%
I’m enjoy this drama so much
September 29th, 2012 at 1:08 am
@Jennie, since you’re just finishing up episode 11, you’re close to finding out why JW hates YR so much. I’ll wait until after you’ve watched episode 12 before discussing it with you.
I love the step grandma too. I liked her from the beginning because her presence reminded YR that she shouldn’t get so comfortable with her schemes that she allowed her emotions to get the best of her. Unfortunately, YR didn’t or couldn’t listen, which is why things are backfiring on her so quickly.
However, as much as I enjoy the step grandma, we can’t forget that she’s honest enough to admit that her first priority is her and her future. She even told Ji Ho that he should never depend on her or anyone else to support him.
Ji Ho is definitely quick about grasping the truth. He was this way from the beginning. Even when he didn’t suspect YR, he still kept looking for the person responsible for setting him up and making his life miserable. It’s too bad it turned out the be the person he loved and trusted the most.
I’m also disappointed that we’re not seeing In Ha show JH any brotherly love. I’m also disappointed that YR doesn’t seem to have any love for JH. Before the show started, I was hoping that both YR and In Ha would have conflicted feeling about the way were treating Ji Ho.
However, I still hold out hope that we’ll see some signs that they care more about Ji Ho than they are willing to admit.
@Nora, finding out that episodes 11 and 12 are already subbed is a great surprise.
September 29th, 2012 at 11:47 am
@agave Hi, done with Ep 12 yesterday. Was really happy to know that subs came out faster this week. I hope it means that more are watching this, especially the subbers. As we go deeper into this drama, it’s getting very exciting for me. Ok, now I know why JW hates YR so much. If it was YR who ordered him to be killed, I can understand why. However, if that was the case why is she still “mooning” about him and reminiscing about their younger days? She looks like she still cares for him. Now I fear what will Woo Jin do if JW decide not to take revenge because he finds he still loves YR, just as you said or he finds out that it wasn’t YR who tried to kill him. Man Se had this love-hate obsession with YR so I will not be surprised if he was the one who attempted to kill JW. And step-grandma too had a role or rather was also against JW because he was poor but that’s just pure selfishness on her side. She’s crude and acidic but at least she’s honest about putting her self interest above all else and she says it as it is.
I find YR as a mother really suffocating and she is over protective over Inha. Inha has become a spoiled brat as a result and he is consumed with the thought that Jiho is taking everything from him including Dami. Really disappointing to see how his character is so weak as I was hoping that Ji Chang Wook would have selected a more challenging role. Well, it’s still early but I really hope the writer will do more with his character. I hope and want a stronger Inha – one that I can grow to love and appreciate, and one who is JH’s equal.
Dami’s mom is one who makes me worry the most. While I undersatnd her need to clear her husband’s name, but really, I wish she wouldn’t interfere and just let WJ handle the revenge. I’m always so afraid that she’ll mess everything up. With the latest development, I hope she doesn’t get killed by that attorney

the drama is quite interesting. fighting……
September 29th, 2012 at 1:45 pm
the drama is quite good n interesting. only the initial part the lead actor’s hair style a little bit weird. but i wondering how come the rating is not very high……
September 30th, 2012 at 6:54 am
@Jennie, I don’t believe YR tried to have him killed. Like you mentioned, I think it’s more likely that YR’s husband, Man Se and her stepmom, Gye Hwa, could have set it up to look like YR tried to kill JW to break them up. I think it’s also possible that they didn’t really want to kill. Instead, I think they may have set things up to make it look like someone wanted to kill him.
JW seems like a pretty determined guy and he and YR seemed to be very much in love, so I can’t see him just giving up if YR had broken up with him. That’s why I can believe that Man Se and Gye Hwa needed extra insurance to make sure JW didn’t try to stay in touch with YR. If this is true, then I wonder if YR later found out about this. I’m looking forward to getting more details about this to see if any of this could be possible.
I agree that Woo Jin could be a problem if JW changes his mind about taking revenge on YR. Woo Jin will see this through despite JW’s wishes, so this could get ugly for both of them.
YR has truly become a monster mother, not only because of the way she’s treating Ji Ho but also because, as you mentioned, she is too overprotective of In Ha. The closer she becomes to In Ha, the worse he becomes. When you compare In Ha’s relationship with Ji Ho before he forgave his mother, In Ha seemed to get along much better with Ji Ho. He also seemed to be a stronger person.
It appears that YR has lost her mind because she no longer seems rational. She seems to be fixated on two things. One, using Ji Ho as a surrogate for Man Se and making him pay because she wasted 10 years on Man Se only to have him give his fortune to Ji Ho. Two, she’s obsessed with trying to make it up to In Ha by making sure he gets whatever he wants, no matter how much this destroys him.
Like you, I was hoping that In Ha would be strong enough to retain at least a little bit of his dignity, but, he seems to have lost whatever core of decency he once had. Remember when he said wanted to beat Ji Ho fairly? That determined little boy seems to have disappeared because now he’s all about doing anything to win, including cheating.
Although I think In Ha is weak, I love what Ji Chang Wook is doing with this character. However, I agree with you about hoping the writer adds more texture to his character. I don’t want to see JCW having to play the same scenes over and over.
I’m concerned about Nam Joo too because she doesn’t think before she acts. I was stunned when she had Lawyer Choi’s safe broken into. Despite knowing how reckless she is I was also surprised when she told him what she had done and about YR’s part in Man Se’s death. You’re right that Choi may decide she’s too much of a loose cannon and get rid of her.
From one of the latest episodes, Choi proves, once again, that he has his own agenda. As YR mentioned earlier, Choi is not the type to go down alone. If he gets destroyed, he’ going to take anyone involved down with him. I can also see him getting rid of anyone who may threaten his plans. So, yes, I’m worried about Nam Joo.
