Hi everyone
i just saw ep 27 and ep28 no sub he wants her to get married
but the sad thing her mom has brain tumor just my guess
it does not looks good. I think ep 30 she will be spent time with her in
hospital, ep 31 they will get married.
ys mom still oppose their marriage sad.
what you YS married to a guy never been married
why did people look in their shoes before judge other

Two more episodes are remaining. Viikii blocked the drama, citing a copyright dispute. So, I have to watch the episodes up to 29 in a Chinese website which does not streamline the drama reliably at all. I do not like Yeo Joon’s mom (of course, the scriptwriter made her that way). What a double standard she is applying to her son Yeo Joon and to her daughter Yoon Hee! She seemed to forget what Yoon Hee had gone through. Yoon Hee handles things well. I love her in the drama. She portrays an emotionally stable and mature single mom very well. To me, she is very pretty.
I do not agree with the scriptwriter’s subplot (or logic) on Gyu Hwan. Why does Gyu Hwan keep coming back to beg for Yoon Hee’s love, even though she has explained to him many times that she could not accept his love. Even he promised not to embarrass her but is doing the same thing over and over. I was annoyed of his role. Maybe love is like that.
The lead actor and actress are superb. Yeo Joon and Sang Eun are lovable. Hae Sung, Yoon Hee’s first love, is very charming, even though he dumped her. He regrets his stupidest mistake of abandoning Yoon Hee. He is determined to get her back. The way he talks shows his maturity and wisdom, somewhat belated though. I root for him. I hope that Hae Sung and Yoon Hee resolve old uneasy issues toward each other. Overall, this is a drama worth watching.

Thanks for the recap -creating destiny followers. We do appreciate you. I am so sad that they still did not resolve the copy wright issues. I really dying to watch it with sub. What are they doing to us fans here in US. They have to be fair. Why other current drama has subs and not this drama. Anyway, we will just wait by Feb but till then we will watch withous sub.

I wish they are a real couple! They admitted to being close and they seem awfully sweet off cam plus that there were rumors although as usual both of their management agencies denied this. But their body language in their interviews and NGs can’t be denied. Go Eugene! Go Ki Tae Young!
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:28 am
I was disappoint at the end
the drama start so good and high peak they should kiss more.
like they went to skii trip and there a moment on beach
to . I agee with you they do look good for each other
but it only drama
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:08 am

Diane, thanks for sharing. I was able to recap the episode 24-26. Your awesome.
January 23rd, 2010 at 3:57 am
you are welcome. have a nice weekend.
January 23rd, 2010 at 4:00 am
cloud
where did you find their story about their relationship.
I think among all the guy that she did the drama with
YS had more chemistry with her.
but you know what it only drama, I dont why the writer
did not put more effection on them after they got back together.
what is she afraid off
January 23rd, 2010 at 5:39 am
diane,
probably the writer has a crushed on YJ and afraid that SE will get close with YJ in real life so the writer and probably the director too has a crushed with SE so both of them afraid to put more affection to the couple. Unlike other drama, directors and writers are all out in pouring affection at the last episode. That is soooo sad. This drama is really good but lack of excitement at the ending. No romantic kisses and affection. I hope they will make it up on epi 31 which is a little bit late.
January 23rd, 2010 at 6:17 am
LOL you are so funny Joy. I love your thought…………..
i am still giggle about your comment
the writer and director did not want affection on
the couple that is so sad but the rate low due to the drama
is sinking. we does not want what is going on with her mother
we want them to be happy……………..crazy..
it kill the drama………………..dont you all agree
January 24th, 2010 at 2:37 am
I agree. It does kill the drama. I wonder who is is step brother who lives in the US.? Anyway, I still wonder how the story ends since this weekend is the last episode. Keep us posted..
January 24th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
seem like ys tell se that her mom is sick need operation
and he wants to tell both family that he wants to married se no matter what
rate getting low due to no compassion and affection between the two lead
sad.
January 25th, 2010 at 12:14 am
I was disappointed about thi drama. i know it is family. but they cut so short.
they should have the wedding party….i guess budget problem
they ending was nice but so short. i guess at the end every one is happy
but i wish they can drag to ep 37,…………’ ep 31 can only get a 9
not even 10
January 25th, 2010 at 5:19 am
The intertwining of families near the end was interesting, yet I agree about the lack of affection between SE and YJ would have made a huge difference.
January 25th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
nice ending…but they did not show how does the brother of mom’s yj got a wife as well…i like what they have done with yoon hee and jinju that they have stick with the real father… the ending was about the first love of arabuhji and grandma… hahaha….. they have destined to one another…
January 26th, 2010 at 12:34 am
I agree they should at least add one or two more episode and should include the wedding and refresh us with their memories how they get along and able to survive their past differences, culture and background. Its a good drama but lack of affection and romance. To all Eugene fans -see you in next drama, my guess next year or late this year. Diane, keep in touch. I copy some of your recipe. I am not a good cook but trying to be. My kids are picky eater and they always love their grandma recipe.
January 26th, 2010 at 2:15 am
Joy just email me what you want, also i have some very good recipe for children, my son same way.
dtknguyen@hotmail.com i have very good cup cake recipe too.

January 26th, 2010 at 2:50 am
Thanks Diane. My brother gave me last christmas a korean CD drama, Spring Waltz. I just finished watching it and my eyes are swollen from crying. This drama is one of the best 2nd to Save by the last dance of Ji Sung and Eugene. Korean has many talented actors and actresses. No wonder there is Korean drama are very popular to asean community. Most people I know here are fans with korean drama. I am not surprise why.
