WAAAT? from what Janice said – I assume Joo-Young and Woo Bin did not end up together, if that’s the case – that’s a bummer!! tjey shoudl be together – they are not blood related anyway….. I haven’t finished watching the show yet, still on Episode 46.
……
February 7th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
somebody please tell me what about the ending??? its happy end or sad end???
February 7th, 2012 at 7:35 pm
yes, really waste my time watching this drama. I expect woobin and jooyoung will end up together romantically. But the ending seem vague, leaving the viewers to guess.
February 7th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
Bit of waste of my time watching. I guess they will be together as Woo Bin still keeps the wedding rings.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:45 am
So,Mr.Park Jung Ran ,where are those thousand kisses ? Did you lose them ? What a pity !
February 10th, 2012 at 11:10 am
I agree, the ending was so vague that you don’t know if they (1) became a romantic couple again or (2) just became comfortable seeing each other without “falling apart”.
Hey, Park Jung Ran, I will probably have to debate whether to give any time to a drama that has your name as the writer…
This was a really, big disappointment!
February 16th, 2012 at 9:11 pm
I just watched the 29th episode and i wonder why they cant be together? is it becoz the lovely aunt is Joo young’s mother? or becoz the dark past of joo Young’s mother………….and why Woo bin leaves her? Ohhh,,this drama is so complicated…i dont think i can watch the rest of the episodes…its too frustrating
February 17th, 2012 at 11:20 am
Hi all..I’m curious with this drama..initially I want to watch it..but seems the ending is very disappointed..but the initial episod is very good, right?
If I want to watch it, better I watch from episod 1 to what episod?
I just want to see the good part of this drama
Can anyone give suggestion?
February 18th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
This drama is very disappointing. But if u want to watch, just watch the 1st 35 episodes then jump to the last episodes. You wont miss much. Watching the rest of it is just too torturing. I am an anti fan to this drama.
February 19th, 2012 at 10:45 pm
This is one of the best acting from Woo Bin…very heart-rending expressions never seen from a guy actor before. Very good.
The ending is obvious…they met again and rekindle their deep love for each other. Of course I would have love to see a more obvious and happy ending then the last scene separated by a window display!
February 22nd, 2012 at 5:47 pm
WOW! Ok, not even giving this drama a chance…the first 10 comments are not positive. Thank you everyone for your feedback!
February 27th, 2012 at 10:10 am
I must say i agree with the commenters here. Disappointing and painful : I would save only the 12 firsts episodes for the cute courting of the main OTP. The rest is torture. I watched it when airing, and i will never do that again for a long drama. Now i will wait to see if the all thing is good. God, so many hours wasted….
February 28th, 2012 at 5:54 am
Gezzz… Is it an opened ending? I hate this ending.
March 8th, 2012 at 11:36 am
i have watched the final and i think joo young and woobin will end up together ..
March 19th, 2012 at 10:57 pm
i’ve been in love with korea dramas eversince and i never miss one drama unless my husband brings me out to dinner and that makes me sad n bored
March 22nd, 2012 at 2:45 pm
No good… and what’s with the repeat story line? Jinsu gets kicked out and disappears twice, and I feel like it’s the longest, most repetitive story EVER!!! I don’t care about the old couple. I’m watching it for the 1000 kisses… of which, there have been four.
No good (oh, I already said that…)! Seriously bad drama. I won’t make it to the end. Too lame. :/
April 22nd, 2012 at 8:58 pm
I finished episode 44 and am not happy reading comments that this has a vague ending. All the time invested. I like a good wrap-up ending like Secret Garden. I am willing to stop watching unless someone can convince otherwise. I’ll just imagine them happy together like in the promo pictures.
May 12th, 2012 at 5:52 am
i hate the end…..really bad
May 20th, 2012 at 9:33 pm
Of course they finally ended up together. Good series. Worth watching.
May 23rd, 2012 at 12:41 am
Love the story, young and old players do hope all will end up with who they want to be with, still asking can I get these storys on cd’s and where from HELP!!!!!!!!!
June 3rd, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Wanted to watch because there’s Kim so eun and Ryu jin(OMG THEY ARE ON THE SAME DRAMA AGAIN BUT LOVERS??!?!?!) but the comments made me not to watch it. Should i? O.O
July 26th, 2012 at 5:44 am
The evil one goes unpunished and having a wonderful life and the female lead had to go through lots of hardship. The male lead character is weak did nothing to protect his love. The ending is open ended with no indication that they get back together. If you love this kind of story, there is no harm watching it.
August 9th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
I am wondering why d guy can’t tell his mom h is former girl was fooling around after all she was torturing Woo young. I like the bad girls or boy get
slapped and kicked in the shin too, for being so mean. Woo Young ex -husband, something wrong with his nose.
August 28th, 2012 at 9:17 pm
can anyone please tell me if this kdrama is worth watching? coz this one is some of a long episodes and i dont want to waste my time and money (buying the original DVD of course)
please those who watched this kindly post if the ending is just good or so so///
KAaddict where were you i miz you on this site..

I watched episode 45 earlier where Woo Bin agreed to marry yoo kyung. Now I dont have the energy to watch Ep 46. i agree with most of the earlier comments on being frustrated with story plot. to continue watching it migt be a wasteful time and disappointing especially. I think we all wanted to watch dramas hoping to see happy ending. This story is too long to make the viewers suffer.
