The whole story is great,episode 34-36 was the most painful to watch his brother is just so evil,very irritating but it made the whole thing more interesting and worthy to watch for…
The cast is just superb,since ‘how to meet a perfect neighbor’ that’s when i liked Bae doo na…she cries sincerely and pretty hahah…and the others did justice to their own role…great couple indeed..
I like the part were all of them are living in a small apartment by the grandmother its very familial,thou not blood related but they share about everything,the pain ,the smiles and just everything under the sun..good idea there…
all thou my critic only, there are some parts that are unnecessary like going the same idea,if i would to air it,it could only be atleast 40 episodes…and the singing aspect of it is limited, i hope that it could have been more musi-cal!…
But all in all its a joy to watch,two thumbs-up,my fave so far for a long drama series…Job well done…i ♥ it

Lee Kyu Jin is too old and not good looking to play the lover of Kang Suk’s mother. What isbit with Asian men? They do ‘t look so good after they reach a certain age

Lee Ji Suknis a fat, insidious character with no morals. He is the epitome of disgusting. His mother is equally vile and desperate having no looks nor personality. No wonder her son is such a disgusting human being, he has her genes.

I sort of Like Bar Doo na but her stubby nose needs to go. That is what looks bad on her face. Her acting is good. Just saw her in an American film where they dubbed her voice

I am on episode 47 and if I hear one more Jin Jin this and Jin Jon that, I am going to puke. First of all, that girl seems entitled as if the whole world has to revolve around her. She keeps singing the same two songs and I guess is because the actress that plays Gloria can’t really sing. Second of all, ever since episode 40 these two sisters keep coming and going on the same places with nicer and nicer vlothes but they never show them in any real concerts. That means that there was a buget issue and since there were so many episodes, they were trying to stretch the story out.
I do not feel any compassion for Jin Jin. I do feel compassion for Lee Jin Kang who does everything in his power to make amends for his evil and heartless good for nothing brother. I cannot believe his family did not disown him already and send him to jail. I am glad that the story stops at 50 since all the people in the story have turned into nothing but supporting actors for the main character who I have no empathy for at all.

Lee Ji suk is too evil and Lee Kang Suk is too sympathetic but all in all the drama is good. I like that song Gloria although I don’t understand the language very wel
