Realy realy love woo jin and joo min. KSE i realy enjoy ur acting even u are the second main in this drama…

The writers are ruining this show that started out so beautifully. They had a winner and they’re turning it into a loser. They’ve completely changed Woo Bin’s character. He would never have done anything to hurt Joo Young, especially with his ex-girlfriend. He knew what she was and how she has and continues to treat Joo Young. Where do these people see Joo Young and Joo Mi’s Mother as such a great person. I just don’t get it. If she is the epitomy of a good mother, I wouldn’t want to be one. The best thing is for them to send Woo Bin, his ex-girlfriend, his mama and his sister to America. At least here, we could tell them where to go. Woo Bin doesn’t deserve Joo Young. Her love didn’t die like his did. He deserves to be in misery with his ex-girlfriend. Sorry for venting, but I’m just fed up.

@ janice ,
thank god someone thinks like me , i agree to every thing you say, i just can stand woo bin mother she drive me crazy and his ex girlfriend makes me sick she is a comlete loser, and woo bin sister just robs me the wrong way , u are right those 3 need to move to the us, am so frustated too with the crap, but then again i cant stop watching want see what happens at the end
January 16th, 2012 at 8:01 pm
I also agreed that woo bin’s character has changed. How could he just started a relation with his ex when he still thinks of jooyoung. What about his solid love for her in the beginning, even though they have broke up now. The scriptwriter has totally changed his character . I dont look so forward to watch this show like before because of the relationship that is going on between woobin and his ex girlfriend.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:13 am
well guys , am not giving up yet in fact am counting on the one night stand woo bin had with his girlfriend before they broke up , am sure she will be pregnant , that is my only hope now i hope the writer does not dissapiont me because to me that is the only way they can end up together because woo bin mother will never say yes to them other wise ,
January 19th, 2012 at 4:47 am
i agree with you torri! and am pretty will be happy if they (woo bin and joo young) will end up together, to think that they have an affair before they broke up. Hopefully the writer/director will make them up and make Joo Young pregnant in the end, hahahha it will be nice! and his Ex-friend what was her name? she’s so annoying and disgusting. . .

Hey guys, i watch ep 41/42 last night i think the guy in wheel chair will forgive his wife because it seem she id sick with all the nose bleeding i home she does die , i guess the writer is going to use this illness to make her husband realise how important she is to him and whats with the divoce , , that old man is mean , and his brat of a daught i cants stand that littel brat she talks down her sister/sister inlaw, if i was in her sister place i will bit the shit out of her considering she is partly responsible for the miscarriage after pushing her down the stairs, i just cant stand that little girl , and i love the short guy who wants woo bin sister i mean i like the fact that he trys to show off his good qualities and at the same make her feel ignorant and less smart , i like that , but i feel so bad for woo bin the guy is in pain , he cant stoping thinking about his ex , and he cant stand the present ex touching him , i feel his pain and his dad is the best tellinh him not to let his mother force into any thing except he is ready that is a realy dad

I’m so glad I found this site…and someone to agree with about this drama.
I was hooked after the first episode. [watching on MBC America channel]. I have traveled all over the internet following the most recent episodes—first raw and then subbed.
But OMG, it has become so painful to watch.
I agree with Janice, Jan 16th comments. Hey, writers! When I tune in for a “love story” I expect to see a couple—in love—together: fighting to get together and fighting to stay together. The constant in that scenario is that the couple is “together”. The writers have turned this great couple [Woobin and Juyoung] into the saddest two people on the planet. That was OK, for a while for dramatic effect—but now it is just painful to watch. Woobin has morphed into some pathetic creature that we can hardly recognize—manipulated by a selfish, dominating mother and a vindictive ex. If she was so in love with Woobin, why did it take her three years to go after him?
Why is the mother so wrapped up in her brother’s 20-year old affair? Without her hate, no one would even know. Hey, if they kill off Woobin’s mother…! I think it was Juyoung’s grandmother who remarked that that family had “weak men” that were so easily manipulated by women. I guess the sister [Woobin’s mother] got all the testosterone in that family.
..And those sisters. Woojin’s sister is 20 going on 12—and as selfish as a 2 year old. Woobin’s sister is obviously 30+ and the greatest example of “wasted space” I’ve seen. I was waiting for her to develop some kind of personality. I mean most sisters are loyal to their brothers—but not these two.
I also agree with Torri, Jan 11th comment, “for my own peace of mine I think I will just wait until the drama is complete that way I am not too frustrated with the characters”. Last episodes watched were 40 subbed and 44 raw. I’m afraid to watch any more.

@HEN , hahahahahaha i love you comments every thing you said was well said about the characters in this drama especaily about woo bin mother and sister you just make laugh with all comments thanks i guess all will get better for woo bin

What started out as a beautiful drama dragged on to be just disappointing and frustrating. Do some parents in Korea, specially mothers, think they own their children? As if they are their possession? I hope it is just in the drama not in real life..
January 28th, 2012 at 8:49 am
I started and got addicted to this drama until the show started to dragged on. I decided to stopped watching it, wait until it is done, and then go back to the shows that I missed, fast forward on the boring scenes and just see how it ended. That is how much I am frustrated on how this drama turns out.

Hi… I fully agree… Why change Woo Bin character ?? Just don’t understand why ??
January 29th, 2012 at 12:53 am
Hi,
what about woo jin and joo mi? hows their relationship going? would appreciate if you could provide a quick update!! thankss
January 29th, 2012 at 11:50 am
WJ and JM are still going strong.. he loves her a lot and will not break up with her despite what the father wants.. they are still very happy but her mother is very sick so they’ve been very focus on her.
i love this couple.. they are so cute together.. ahjussi is one hot Ken doll.
January 29th, 2012 at 6:14 pm
This drama is so frustrating to watch. Woo Bin’s character is so weak. If he truly loves Joo Young, wouldnt he at least stayed faithful to their love instead of agreeing to marry his ex at such a hurry ? The last 10 episodes just centred around the mother’s sickness and the separation between the main couple is just too long.
If i knew the story would be written this way, after the broke up, i should have stopped watching and just jumped to the last episode when it ended because it is so draggy and no new interesting development.

Thanks, Lexi and Riki for the updates.
I still don’t have the stomach to watch any new episodes and from what you say the writers are dead [don't I wish]…set, that is, against appeasing the audience about the plight of [my] favorite couple, Woobin and Juyoung.
You know, in my opinion, even if he [Woobin] “bolts” at the very end, and returns to Juyoung–it’s too little—too late.
What could have been a great love story—is ruined….You see, it is my opinion, that the only thing they had to overcome as a couple was the “bad writers”.

I totally agree with Hen. As I am writing this, the Episode Ratings is shown up to Episode 46 and the ratings started dropping from Episode 44. It means there are less people watching as the drama continuous to Episode 46.

I loved the second main character because they were so cute together and so perfectly as a husband and wife…woo jin and joo min, fighting!!!

i liked this show so much in the begining, but now i just wanna pretend that when main couple got engaged this is the end and everybody happy, cause wht has happend after way too much on me, brrr
February 6th, 2012 at 3:56 am
I agree with amaar. I just watched the ending. The screenwriter, Park Jung Ran, destroyed what could’ve been the best drama of 2011/2012. The beginning was brilliant, but it is like she gave up in the last 20 episodes. The supporting cast got more air time than the leads. I will never watch anything written by her again. In the end, they put a better spin on Woo Bin’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend than they did with the main female lead. They at least hugged. It is awful what she did to the main couple. They had such a beautiful story.

@janice : hi jance i totally agree with you …. it started out i love this drama and now i hate this drama …. wasted my time to watch it !!
February 6th, 2012 at 3:09 pm
This drama is about the relationship between parents and their children instead of the romance relationship between the ages different…such a wasted!!!
