When Saeybok’s birth mom came into the drama, WHOAA, what a classy, beautiful lady! I loved the way she carried herself–confident, independent, determined, gorgeous wardrobe and the love and want for her daughter’s happiness. WHY was Saeybok resisting her sooo much?? I’d have fallen to the ground and kiss her feet. Fool! It broke my heart on last Friday’s episode that she died in Saeybok’s arms! WHY didn’t they have her live on and have THAT mother-in-law from HELL die of her lukemia?? I have two Asian friends who both have mother-in-laws from HELL !!!
ha .. ha ..ha
so funny >

LOL i have wasted so much time for this ridiculous drama!!!!!! at first i was so impressed by the character played by Yoona, because i love Yoona, but as the episodes was dragging so endlessly i’ve gradually lost all of my interest in this drama….i’m totally disappointed of Yoona’s character and the Husband Hose. They showed the weakness for not struggling enough for their happiness, keep enduring the Fucking Devil Mother-in-law with total consent!! What a nut case! And by the way i can’t get the stupidity of the Screenwriter who successfully brought hatred about Korean dramas in me! A fucking round of applause!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just can’t stand watching this drama anymore (about the episode 130, i just skipped to the final one cuz’ i wanna know the End ) thanks to all the Innocent of Seabyuk, the Stupidity of her so call Husband Hose and above all the HUMANITY of the WITCH MOTHER IN LAW!!!!
Like someone’s comment on this site, the plot should go like this:
Saebyuk and her Husband: Die somewhere on a cruise ship
The mother-in-law: being sent straight to HELL!
Yuri: Being forced along with her mother!
A happy End for the KIM family!
And the character that i love the most in this SO FUCKING WASTE OF TIME TO WATCH drama is Yoonhee! LOL
The Sreenwriter should have an award for his Cluless stupidity and be banned for the rest of his life from writting anything!

I have been watching the korean drams for 11 years now.They seem to get better and better.The one that is showing now is the road home.Another gem.Why cant we americans make any dramas as good as these.I will tell you why,the plots to the korean dramas are very tight,they dont have to make everything a sex game.These dramas make sense.The american T.V. stinks,oh you ask why?The actresses cant compare to the beauty of the korean woman.The contants are pathatically stupid.and i laugh my head off when they compare angelan jolie to Bette Davis.

Yoona is such a great actress!
The girl who plays Soobin is good too. She does look mean.

my conclusion for this drama is if you like you pure 19,you will love this,if you hate that you will hate this kdrama as well.

How much does that grandma get on your nerves? in most dramas the old person delivers a stable, wise character which has a purpose, and is generally helpful to the family… in this drama she is basically senile and has absolutely nothing of value to say, and she doesn’t even serve a real purpose… shes one of those characters that would be killed off in a remake… (sorry i’m on episode 83 and she is just making me nuts!!)

I’m watching those episode downloaded by Ku6.com as it is very slow and break very often. In regard to this drama, I’ve never seen a mother-in-law this evil even on her deathbed. Can someone fix episode 166, 167, 175, 176, 177 & 178 as it is broken. Thanks.

I’m disgusted and irritated by Hose mother “the hell devil”. Why the scriptwriter made her such an evil women. I really hated her from episode 1 till end. By the way, can someone please help to fix episode 166, 167, 176, 177 & 178 as it is broken. Thanks.

I am a true fan of this drama! I am in the states. when this drama went off I was so lost! I hope this drama is placed on dvd in english subtitles!

hose: a selfish charecter like his mother
seabak: she is every time sorry sorry to her mother in law, but very rude to her real mother. but appearing her real mother, focus on seabok goes down, the real mother shows the positive role towards seabak everytime.
seaback was wrong to give her bone marrow to her mother in law, instead her mother. I hate seabak.

darn, even here snsd anti fans abound. wh can’t they just appreciate this drama for what it is. a great drama. yoona’s acting is also pretty good for a first timer. haters probably never even tried watching this. they’re too afraid they might end up liking the show, the characters, yoona. i guess they love hating on others.

OMG, I came over this drama a few days ago and I’m on a fast start with the drama! I love it! Its a rarity that I would watch a drama for more then 15 episodes but with this one I’m enjoying it and there’s not much awkwardness that happens like in many other drama’s. I thought YoonAh was awesome in this drama, I know she’s in SNDS and I’m not quite a fan but I do find some of their songs pretty cool. Some people shouldn’t judge and actress because of what group they’re in or etc, if they act good and you’re entertain watching their drama, then you should judge them as an actor not whatever else the public thinks.
I have no means of offending people and I’m truly sorry but, I don’t see why some people are being so mean. Anyways, this drama is really good, it has a positive message for youngsters, try to over come your hardship and not give up.
Sorry again if I offended peopled but like the saying goes, “Each to their own”

i’ve watched this drama last year…on the fact that ji hoon is in it. but then i found it’s pretty good n enjoying…
At the time i watched the drama, i dun really know yoona dat well…n personally i think her acting skill is quite good…she’s a newcomer for god sake..
and for you haters…why being so emotional?? if u dun like this drama, dun watch it. why cuss the drama and all the cast? korean drama is sometimes exaggerating, but the plots are very interesting…i have to agree..american drama can’t compare to korean drama…
