LOVING this drama so far!!! So intense & keeps you guessing. I was hooked since epi 1. The story/plot is great & all the actors/actresses are amazing!!! Looking forward to the next episodes.
November 4th, 2015 at 3:09 pm
So after 10 episodes, I have yet to see any of these so called government employees do any work. Eating, drinking, and lolling around the mansion must be tough! What a life to do nothing except be fixated on one of the hired workers. I don’t remember Eun Soo ever telling Hyeong Woo that she was getting calls from some man, but he mentioned it to her after putting the listening device on her phone, and she didn’t even blink or question him as to how he knew that. Anyway, 50 episodes is going to be a marathon with more than a few holes in the storyline.
November 5th, 2015 at 11:30 am
Yeah and if they showed them doing work, you’d call the show boring. Obviously the show is not ABOUT government work so why would they focus on it? And not showing alot of work scenes doesn’t mean none of them don’t work or else, they wouldn’t be where they are today.
Nothing wrong with criticism but I’m tired of petty complaints people like to bring up about kdramas these days. They are so many other dramas to watch if you don’t care for one.
November 5th, 2015 at 11:32 am
“I don’t remember Eun Soo ever telling Hyeong Woo that she was getting calls from some man”
Yes she specifically told him about the man calling her in episode 8 or 9 (I haven’t watched episode 10 yet) before he ever asked her about it…
November 6th, 2015 at 4:32 am
@Lulu I agree with you 100%, btw, ES did tell HW about the mystery caller in Episode 9.
November 9th, 2015 at 5:40 pm
What is Korea watching that the ratings are low on such good dramas
November 13th, 2015 at 3:47 pm
yessssss…. i can watch and see my Joo Sang Wook every week …i love ittttt!!!!
November 19th, 2015 at 2:53 am
Probably Koreans are already feed up with all these dramas with a evil jealous girl which destroys around her everyone life. If she didn’t put that pages in Eun Soo bag, probably nobody had to die and her life too could be much better.

Jin Hyeong Woo’s Family
November 24th, 2015 at 7:04 pm
@mml — Where I live Ep 1 just aired Monday night. Did you notice little Kal So-Won (Sa-Wol – from My Daughter Sa-Wol) is Eun Soo and Myung Ho’s daughter? She is cute. I don’t think I have seen her before, now two shows that I am watching she is in. Well – not in My Daughter Sa-Wol anymore.
I read everyone’s posts as I was somewhat confused – the Eun Soo’s husband may not be dead. I kind of thought he would not be dead, but….
And when Hyeong Woo appeared at Il Joo’s wedding, I thought he was an aspiration at first.
That evil witch from Queen of the Flower – who plays Kang Il Ran is in this show also. I was so happy I didn’t have to see her anymore and now I have to put up with her for another 50 episodes. I hope she won’t be in too many scenes.
December 2nd, 2015 at 6:12 pm
I saw Ep 4 tonight —
As soon as Il-Joo came into Hyung-Woo’s family she started trouble. She didn’t skip a beat. She ruined two families by stealing the documents from Hyung-Woo’s office and shafted Eun Soo just to get her hands on Hyung-Woo. She showed no remorse at all that a man killed himself which was senseless and the young man she wanted to steal from Eun Soo lost his father. And Eun Soo’s dad lost his job, their home, their life. And Young Ae finished the job by having Eun Soo kidnapped. No one figured out how strange after 10 years of Eun Soo’s family living next to the main house, all of a sudden something gets stolen from a locked drawer. I guess if it was me I would find it strange.
While Hyung-Woo figured out his mother had Eun Soo kidnapped. in Ep 4 when they were looking at the father’s documents Young-A said “that Suk-Hyun would kidnap Eun Soo for these documents”. While that is probably true, I wonder if Young A said that to indicate to her son it was not her that kidnapped Eun Soo. But are they not the documents Hyung-Woo and Young A gave to creepy Suk-Hyun????
Now Il-Joo will march to her own tune with the help of Hyung-Woo. I couldn’t believe Hyung-Woo kissed Il-Joo so soon after Eun Soo left and said “he would back her.” Geez..
Did he fall for her that fast????
Or is he just using her to get back at scary Suk-Hyun – her father? I would not have given Il-Joo the music box, now she puts more of the documents or the missing pages in it.
Is it true that Young Ae and Il-Joo’s mother’s are not related??? Or was Il-Joo lying again so Hyung-Woo would have no problem with them getting involved ????
I feel sorry for Kim Ho-Jin having to marry Il-Joo. Cha Ye Ryun was a mean person in Golden Rainbow also.
Who was taking the photographs of Eun Soo when she was working in the café??
December 18th, 2015 at 5:50 pm
In the short time that Eun Soo has been working at Kang Suk-Hyun’s house, she gotten into trouble several times or has caused trouble.
And within 24 hours or less several people found out Hyung-Woo stayed the night at Eun Soo’s house.
I have only seen 8 Episodes. I am always behind the rest of the people with the shows airing much later than in other areas.
December 19th, 2015 at 1:18 am
IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THE NEXT EPISODE………I FEEL BAD EUN SOO MARRIED THE PRIME MINISTER.. I WISH EUN SOO AND HYUNG WOO..STILL WILL END UP TOGETHER AT THE END…
December 19th, 2015 at 1:19 am
IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THE NEXT EPISODE………I FEEL BAD EUN SOO MARRIED THE PRIME MINISTER.. I WISH EUN SOO AND HYUNG WOO.. I WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE NEXT EPISODE…THE DRAMA IS GETTING MORE EXCITING
January 1st, 2016 at 6:56 am
This drama is really stupid to me and written in a vacuum. Although it was a romantic comedy, the political environment in All About my Romance was much more believable that this one. As a matter of fact i can name several dramas where it’s much more believable. How the female lead was brought into the center was ridiculous. Yes, I stopped watching!!
January 5th, 2016 at 11:28 pm
I rili love d movie!i jus hope dat eun soo will knw dat ii joo husband father is jus using her.bcos d man told her to call him if she find anyting strange abt d man.i jus wish eun soo and hyung get back 2geda.and her daughter a quick recovery!
January 14th, 2016 at 10:09 pm
Though this could be interesting, the plot is too Long winded and I feel that viewers’ intelligence is insulted. Get real!
January 22nd, 2016 at 1:34 pm
I love Joo Sang Wook
January 24th, 2016 at 10:31 am
@Bella I think you are more s*****, this drama is not a romantic comedy. It clearly says Romance, Melodrama. Please read before you make a comment.
Just saying…
January 27th, 2016 at 5:56 pm
I have a question – anyone —
When Mi-Rae fell off the stairs and hit her head…. and when Eun=Soo, Suk-Hyun and Il-Joo were looking at the tape of the accident, doesn’t it show how she fell?????? The evidence should be there if she just lost her balance with all the people looking at her. But the tape didn’t show how she fell.. When it showed Mi-Rae laying on the cement and Eun-Soo was getting upset, Suk-Hyun said to turn it off or whatever.
Didn’t any one of the 3 look to see how the accident happened?????? I has to be on that tape.
Is Young-Ae playing all her angles? Working with Kwon Soo-Myung, Moo-Hyuk’s father. Working against her son. And working and using Eun-Soo for her own evil schemes. Young-Ae is a witch and I don’t feel Hyung-Woo knows what his mother is doing behind his back.
I feel bad for Hyung-Woo – he has no one to support him and his mother convinced him to take revenge for his father’s death and the blame put on the dad for those papers Il-Joo stole and screwed everyone’s life.
January 27th, 2016 at 6:12 pm
Eun-Soo is too trusting of Kwo Soo-Myung Doesn’t she think it is strange he shows up twice at her house – like out of the blue. He supposedly grew up in that area where she takes him, but he says he can’t find it? And whatever he tells her, that she should not tell Suk-Hyun. She doesn’t find that strange. She is being used by several people and she does not know. Marrying Suk-Hyun will not solve all her problems.
Didn’t Eun-Soo find the papers in the yellow purse where Mi-Rae hid hem??????
January 29th, 2016 at 12:34 am
I love watching Joo Sang Wook in any drama, i dont mind which actress he might be paired as long as JSW is the lead, it must be a good one to watch. Love you JSW💋💗
February 13th, 2016 at 2:55 am
I real Enjoy this drama cos is the best and good i hope to finish 50 episode still waiting……!!!!!!!!
February 13th, 2016 at 1:18 pm
MORE COMMENTS ON THE LATEST EPISODE…37 PLEASE
February 21st, 2016 at 6:01 am
@Rose. that yellow purse keeps showing up, but no one seems to pay it any attension. it is like the elephant in the room. every one ignores it. eun-soo should at least notice it. I hope she is not as dense as she make out to be. I know in the end she will find the papers, but it is pissing me off that is taking so long to find them.

so, eun-soo figured out the secret in the yellow bag. the thing is, that bag has been passed around so many times, it’s been opened so many times and no one has found the secret it contains. I did not see mi-rae took any effort to hide the “key” letters in any secret compartment.
I am waiting for tonight’s episode to see if she is going to let go of her daughter in law down the stairs. it’s going to piss me off if she save her by some noble deed. well in a few hours I will be totally pissed off or sleep well seeing the bitch break her neck tumbling down those stairs.

A complete waist of time. love all the actors but the script is sincerely poor. Man whom killed her first husband, daughter of the man who caused her fathers death and man who caused her hardship a a point ended up being her husband give me a break.

Hyung Woo (Joo Sang Wook) fighting !!!!!!
March 16th, 2016 at 6:19 pm
Jung Jin Young is the hottest man around. He makes the younger men look like silly children in this and other youth-centric series. Eun Soo should stick with him.
March 16th, 2016 at 6:22 pm
Jung Jin Young is the best. He mskes the younger male characters look like silly children in this and other uouth-centric series.

This was my first Korean Drama and I am totally hooked. I enjoy watching on MBC and so glad there are subtitles. I have become so sick of American tv and really appreciate modesty and respect Korean tv show have and the stories are very good. I am now learning the Korean language amd study about South Korean. I hope to go there one day.
May 11th, 2016 at 3:24 pm
I really enjoyed this show. Joo Song-Wook is an excellent actor. Every show I have seen him in, he has been great. So good looking and handles himself well in interviews.
This the 2nd time I have seen cute little Kal-So-Won (MiRae). I liked the story she wrote in the last episode and had her mother take her to the tree and cute HW was there.
Kang Il-Joo ruined everyone’s life. Eun Soo was her first friend and she stabbed her in the back to get her hands on HW. Glad she served time at the end, she deserved it.
And Kwon – he should serve time in prison for life – he was so evil. Kim Chang-Wan – he was very good though in his role.
This is the 2nd time I have seen Lee Jae-Yoon. I like him also.
I thought Kim Sae-Ron and Nam Joo-Hyuk were good in their roles as the young Eun Soo and Hyung Woo.
Good cast and great drama. The writers did a good job with this drama. Well done.
July 19th, 2016 at 2:54 am
Great cast, Great Drama, I felt sorry for PM (Jung Jin Young), really liked him. he was such a gentleman, he really loved Eun soo,
September 25th, 2016 at 6:29 pm
I can’t believe that Joo Sang Wook is in a relationship with Cha Ye Ryun. He is a very handsome man and has a lot going for him. I feel he can do much better. I am not keen on her at all.
