i have 2 questions
1. If Seonyoung annually says prayers for her lost husband, why didn’t she do that for her lost daughter? Why didn’t she ask to see her daughter’s grave?
2. Why did Jisu’s grandmother, grandfather, uncle, and 2 aunts decide to keep her and not tell Seonyoung? That is the real crime, here.

I had the same thought. Seonyoung said that she thought that her daughter was dead. Since that is clearly not the case, who told her that Jisu was dead ? Who made the decision for the doctors to raise Jisu ? How was Seonyoung convinced that her daughter was dead ? The writers here have left a huge hole.
Oh yes, what ever happened to grandfathers friend ? She has completely vanished from the show.

I really, really love this show. I finally finished watching this drama… it’s really touching, especially so when Ji Soo finally called Seonyoung ‘mum’…and it’s wonderful to know that Hyeon Soo and Soo In finally have a happy ending after all this while… All I can say is…. Thank you for producing this show… it’s a refreshing change from the other korean dramas:)

I watch alot of korean drama,but have to give the trophy to YOU ARE MY DESTINY i just love it,but now i’m watching THE ROAD HOME,and it do have my attention. i kinda like it.I wish MY FATHER LIKES TROUBLE was longer than the few episodes they show . that was funny.

How many episodes are really there? I saw sites saying there are 120, but it looks like its only 110. So which is it?
August 20th, 2009 at 10:38 am
120 episodes. mysoju not yet upload the rest of the 10 episodes.

One hundred episodes of hatred, one of love. Is this a fair presentation of Korean family life? I pray not. This drama can be summed by the one word its characters so often spoke–sorry. Good riddance.

Is there anywhere I can purchase this series on line? I missed the first bunch of eposides and really got into it. Is is playing on TV anymore with english subtitles? I also love YOU are my destiny.

Have been watching on wat.tv, got up to episode 42, where I’m stuck because the rest won’t play. Any suggestions for sites where they do play?
Also, what on earth does the synopsis above have to do with the show? If I were writing it, this is what I’d say:
“Writer Han Suin (한수인) returns to Korea after an ugly divorce, determined to turn her life around. She meets soul mate Yu Hyeonsu (요현수), who wants her back. But Suin is carrying her ex-husband’s baby and wants to raise it as her own without telling the father.”
The theme of reunification of estranged family members occurs in several themes (hence the title), but I don’t see Miryeong’s child as central at all, at least in the first 40 eps.

Wince. I obviously meant to write “Yu Hyeonsu (유현수), … ”
죄송합니다.

I LOVE this show. I stay up late to see it but sometimes missed an episode. The Korean actors and stories are so much better than American TV. I believe I learn a great deal about the Korean culture as well. Just wish I could pick up some of the Korean language and not be so dependent on the subtitles….
So glad others love this show too. I will be looking for reruns so I can see the lost episodes.
