for director, please if you make a story or watch Korean films end of the story and think about the feelings of spectators who watched the drama, do not make mad
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:32 pm
toink!who wrote this drama? what a sad story until the end……..the story shows money is powerful than evrything:((((
September 4th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Must watch drama – Gumiho – Tale of a Fox child. – The picture look scary but actually the drama is not scary but exciting. The actors and actresses including the kids all acted very very well.
Jung Kyu & Yeon Yi met the 1st time & catching fire flies at the river side – so sweet

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (a comedy) – also very nice.

I had to watch this “Glass Castle”.
Got so involved with the episodes, especially
Minjoo & Jung Song. I was a bit surprised with it’s ending.
Since Minjoo & Jung Song blended well
on the screen. Will there be a part 2? By the way who is
the writer?
Thank you!

I got excited at first in teh movie…but then how sad is the ending….I still want them both together…they really look good…specially joon song..writer should also think of the feelings of those who watch…very frustarting….
September 17th, 2010 at 3:24 pm

September 27th, 2010 at 7:30 am
this drama was actually good. though I was disappointed with the ending. I wanted them to out win the manipulative father but they end up given in. I hope there’s a part where Minjoo and Joon song will have their second chance

i wish there will be a Glass Castle part 2..i love it but the ending is so sad, why they not back together????please have a part 2..please..
October 25th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
the drama is good..very well plot..but the ending well so sad that they didnt end together..it shows true love for both lead stars ..but they sacrificed it instead..perhaps theyre love was not meant to be..so just let it be…its an idealistic decision but emotionally stressfull..@ sigh..i hope and looking forward for a drama with a happy ending so i will watch it with a smile till the end..i like lee jin wok…ur charming…no wonder choi ji woo fell into u..
November 17th, 2010 at 5:47 pm

Glass castle is rich in characters….. However, the ending is soooo sad. I hope that there will be a Glass Castle part 2 soon, and it will have a happy ending.

February 21st, 2011 at 5:30 pm
i wish it was a happier ending…joon song should be with min-joo…why did they divorce…???that’s so sad…they really looked good…and then suk jin with joon-hee
February 24th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
The ending was so sad and heartbreaking.. The 2nd to the last episode was the most crying episode in Glass Castle (City Of Glass). When Min-Joo talked to Joon Song about their relationship, I was hoping that Joon Song agreed with Min-Joo that they gt back their relationship. This drama made me cry. Joon Song and Min-Joo should be back together, and Suk Jin with Joon-Hee as well.
February 24th, 2011 at 10:58 pm
i love this drama. one of many korean drama that made me cry. Ending was so sad. They should be together.
February 27th, 2011 at 5:52 pm
For me, I think the ending was most “realistic”. S

September 6th, 2011 at 1:05 am
unsatisfied with the ending.how does money overpower everything..and why the world is accepting that kind of a parent..give us a happier ending in glass castle2..
December 18th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
The plot was full of unexpected twists and suspense and emotionally-stirring situations until the very end, which was awful, in my opinion. I suppose the writers were aiming to really ingrain the harshness of reality into the viewers or to conjure a wholly surprising ending. I think the main couple had great potential to be married out of true love, but they divorced due to misunderstanding and unjustified familial devotions. In the end, money overpowered love. Depressing. Just not my taste.
December 28th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
it’s a really nice drama, except for the ending!!! i want lee jin wook to have a sweet ending!!!
February 1st, 2012 at 8:16 pm
Can anyone give me a plot for the ending????? :(( its seem a sad story, right?
February 22nd, 2012 at 6:01 pm
for those who had watched this drama, is there any kissing scene or romantic scene between yoon so yi and lee jin wook? please answer me.
March 5th, 2012 at 7:28 pm
The ending sucks the whole story which has already perfect and the sacrifices of kim jun sung. What’s the point of his sacrifices to min ju along the story? They are really love each other, but why, script writer? Dont they have rights to be a happy couple? The ending is making me dissapointed
May 24th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
i agreed to those request.i am also one of those fans of korean dramas
please grant our request. how can money win over true love if the 2 person involved really love each other?
please make part two
