This would have to go down as one of the worst k-dramas ever!
Overrated, over-acted, over-long, etc…
This drama has little appeal. There was a couple of nice moments but that only added up to a few minutes our of 28 episodes.
The romance was weak and unsatisfying, the actors for the most part boring and unconvincing. lee seung gi and han hyo joo both arent too bad, but the script is so weak, empty and boring that it is not really there fault.
From episode 1 you have to wait about 25 episodes for everything to resolve itself, the father re-appearing, finding the autistic brother, exposing the evil stepmother and daughter etc…
This appears to drag out beyond belief for the sole purpose of keeping the viewers watching from week to week.
Most of the characters are unlikeable and pathetic.
And what’s with the whole beef soup thing????
I dont even like beef soup, so I was offended and how many episodes did we have to sit through that was like watching the staff at mcdonalds work.
How could anyone out there possible sing this drama’s praises.
A complete waste of quality drama watching time…
-10/10.

ORIG: Christopher Cross
REMAKE: Kris Lawrence with Denise Laurel
boy: i was a man who always played around in love
so quick to take but so afraid to give enough
but now ive found the one and heaven will only know
what only my eyes can say and time cant take away
girl: i was a girl who trusted no one in my heart
and the dreams that young girls dream
were just vanishing in the dark
but now ive found the one and heaven will only know
what only my eyes can say… they say
both: that i will take you forever and
there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
and i will take you forever and there will never be anyone else but
you, anyone else but you…..
……I will take you Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever…..
