Ohhh
I’ve started watching this drama and feel terrible sad when she lost her father and brother! Cried a lot 
Want to keep going until I reach something funny! Can’t take all this sadness! And tomorrow I’ll go back to school (I’m a teacher) after a long night watching this drama! I’m just unbelievably addicted!

At first it is a little sad. Don’t worry, the lead actress is strong. She can even change the attitude of the rich woman’ s grandson and they end up falling in love with each other and they live happily ever after.
a must watch drama
Lee Seung Gi can sing very well too. I love his song especially YANGPA – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBJpIAo_wEU

this drama moved every girl who watched this movie. just like cinderalla, she works hard for her survival and cares not just herself but also for other people… the guy from being arrogant tries to change himself for the better and be worthy for his love…
all characters are played very well… i love this movie… cheers!! ^_^

If not the best, this is one of the best Korean dramas I have ever seen. It does not dwell on romance alone but it talks much about the realities of life…this is so entertaining plus I love the sound track! I miss watching this. I am hoping for a new project together for the two lead stars.

Sorry , My comment is an incorrect .I should check it clearly either it is Gumiho or not .In my previous comment .CANCEL.

Man, watching the step mother and daughter makes me sick to the stomach. They’re a bunch of money stealing b!tches! I almost broke my MacBook’s screen because of this drama. But I do get annoyed of Eun Sung because she doesn’t admit to anything, she keeps it to herself.
