This drama has started off with good ratings….hopefully this is one of a good family drama 😉
August 4th, 2014 at 12:35 pm
First couple episodes not bad, but this looks like a long series.
August 10th, 2014 at 1:49 am
cant wait ep.3
August 11th, 2014 at 8:12 pm
so far this one of the interesting drama I’am watching.. thumbs up 🙂
September 1st, 2014 at 9:08 pm
Guys! pls support Song Yoon Ah..for this drama..thanks!
September 2nd, 2014 at 3:56 pm
I love everything about this drama! I love Hong Jong Hyun, you are so good here HJH!
Can’t wait to see the next episodes!
September 3rd, 2014 at 2:26 am
I know this drama will have a sad ending, but I do not like how the MOM is doing that to her son she should be sincera with him that way later he will remember how happy he was with her, but that to make him hate her that is not good for him at all, I put my shoes on his and I will like to have happy moments to remember my mom
September 3rd, 2014 at 10:47 pm
I agree Carmen. A good parent will provide the wisdom their children needs to brace against the next onslaught life delivers. The child will remember with gratitude.
September 8th, 2014 at 12:48 am
this drama is heartwarming & the latest episode just made me cry! the leads are so good in their roles as well as the others! one of the best kdramas this year, it’s addictive & highly recommend this, 2 thumbs up! i can’t wait for the next epis!
September 9th, 2014 at 10:49 pm
Another thing I like about the Mom is that even that she is dieying, she shows how strong she is as a woman, even do she cry in hiding a lot
September 10th, 2014 at 12:23 am
The truth will come out anyway, why lie when it is only making the son resent her during their remaining days together. I would not be grateful for being deceived and deprived of the opportunity to express love and kindness to the one I love.
This drama is working too hard to jerk tears than making some sense.
September 11th, 2014 at 1:17 am
So sad while watching this drama. But I really appreciate SYA’s acting skill. It is very real and heart touching.
Want to see more loveline between HSH & Ji Sub. Can’t wait for next Sat
September 14th, 2014 at 11:24 pm
Dragging it on.
September 15th, 2014 at 1:34 pm
just finished the latest epis & Song Yoon ah is very good in her acting here! i can’t wait for nxt week! this drama is so good it shld air at least 3x a week!
September 22nd, 2014 at 10:56 am
I think I know the answer to this question but I keep wondering if the mom would actually die
September 22nd, 2014 at 2:06 pm
@merlin – i think i hv a strong feeling there’s a miracle & she won’t die! in the latest epis ji sub wants to marry i think bcoz he realizes that geu roo needs someone after she dies but i think she’s not going to die!
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:05 pm
Used to love this, but feel it’s dragging now… Could have ended with a Big Bang at 16 episodes, but it’s sooo boring now… What, it’s 24 episodes long… Never liked Jung Joon Ho, now even Song Yoon Ah is getting annoying too with that same bitter expression…
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:49 pm
Just started watching this drama, and I like it because for once, the woman who was “dumped” is not the victim here. She actually goes away and becomes independently wealthy. While, the woman who got married, and it seems unknowing that she was chosen because her family was rich, is the one who is not having such a great life, since her family went bankrupt.
There are some other good role reversals in this drama.
A good twist was having her husband’s “Ex” bail out the wife before she does nude pics to raise money for her debts.
Then the husband submits to doing sexual favors for a promotion. Usually it’s the woman who is written in that part.
I do agree that the sick mother should not try to push her son away, instead of making good memories for him to have after and if she dies.
September 22nd, 2014 at 10:47 pm
the story was so good I will recommend to all single mother like me with son I will recommend to please do watch this drama.
September 23rd, 2014 at 12:53 am
Unfortunately many of the characters were susceptible to disbelieving what is true, opting for what isn’t. Indeed throughout, misunderstandings played the lead in this drama.
September 25th, 2014 at 5:48 pm
High ratings!!! 🙂
September 25th, 2014 at 10:36 pm
Finally she told the kids father, she is dying….All she did, was not worthed, If she has spoken with the true from the start, she will not be in that position right now….Her friend really like her, but she handle it wrong….now her friend will suffer more, but what is done is done….Now is when the better part start….Love this drama a lot…..
September 27th, 2014 at 3:35 pm
M hoping miracle to happen and she end with d younger guy!❤👍
September 27th, 2014 at 7:24 pm
This is a very good drama. Highly recommended! Please prepare a box of tissue papers when watching the show.
The husband character was quite lame (I thought). Would have preferred someone who was more charismatic.
The younger male – while he likes her – thought that she’s learning of her son’s view by talking to him.
September 28th, 2014 at 2:42 pm
Wow that crazy wife is really getting in my nerves she’s such an idiot and she’s making GR suffer so much and making his mom’s health get worse I really hate her right now she’s acting so childish 😤 there are so many different thoughts going through my head right now because ep 18 seems sad because the wife apparently ruins the painting that GR’s mom made for him but also the handsome guy asks her to marry him ❤️I ship them so much I really hope they’ll end up together and with GR too, that would be my own perfect ending 💕 omg this drama always manages to make me cry
September 28th, 2014 at 9:36 pm
Geuroo’s mum is incapable of seeing the misery she’s putting others through, all because of her secret. Her rationale: she doesn’t want to be pitied. Duh!
September 28th, 2014 at 9:49 pm
Bo Nah’s mum would not be in such a state if she knew the “awful” secret, that Geuroo’s mum is dying and it is the only reason she sought them out. A perfectly mundane information the writer decided is a critical breach of ethics if it got out. Aish.
September 29th, 2014 at 1:01 pm
this drama is super good, can’t wait for epi 19! geo roo & his ooma made me cry big time! their acting are both convincing! i hope they take home the best acting awards! 2 thumb sup waaaaaaaay up! too bad it’s such a short drama – i hope it gets extended! 🙂
@mummybee – jung joon ho is a good actor but he’s just playing the role he’s asked to do….yeah maybe lame but that’s his charac here but he’s good in the dramas i’ve seen of him!
October 1st, 2014 at 4:41 am
I really feel sorry for the mom. She was just trying so hard to make things right for her son when she died. I really hate her friend destroyed her work that she prepared for her son. She has gone to far in trying to hurt people and in the end will only be hurting herself. I hope the mom receives the new medicine and heads backs to Canada with her son and young husband. . . lol
October 5th, 2014 at 8:31 am
just watched ep19. so good of son and mum. so touching.
since the son needs the mom please give her more times
October 6th, 2014 at 12:23 pm
Bona’s mom finally found out!!!
October 6th, 2014 at 11:52 pm
Since they met Bona’s mom with Geuros mom, Bona’s was like soooooo dummmm, and stuped, yes stuped, how in the world you will go to a place to take picture of your self and run…OMG why do it ….and now that she find out the geouru is her husband son, acting so bad, with the kid…and she do not let people talk to her..is all what she think, and anyway that was before she maried that guy, she should be mas at him more that mad at her friend….past is past….now she will suffer for all she did to her friend….

Why this has good ratings? It is the pits. A sadists haven. If packed into a canister it’ll make for an effective weapon against terrorism. Jihadists will keel over and die on contact!
October 14th, 2014 at 4:58 am
This is a very good drama and a real tear Jerker. Highly recommended! Be sure to have a box of tissue papers when watching the show. I just finished watching episode 22 – I’ve never cried so much while watching a drama. I’m so happy she finally told her son about her illness. I love this drama
October 15th, 2014 at 1:30 am
Two more episodes are left. Im going to miss this drama. I hope Stella han and Jisub will eventually get married and at the same time she will be able to combat her fight against cancer. I hope its going to be a happy ending. Im sure that Ms. Song Yoon Ah, Hong Jong Hyun, Yoon Chan Young will get a nomination/awards for this drama. Kudos to the screenwriter and actors /actresses and staff. This is one good drama.
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:59 pm
this is such an awesome drama!! you should watch this, not drama with idols does’nt know how to act. HAHAHA!
October 25th, 2014 at 9:37 pm
It’s worth watching! I’m glad to see Song Yoon Ah again in a drama.
November 19th, 2014 at 5:26 pm
I don’t know if anyone is still watching this show As I just saw Episode 4 — as always behind everyone else
But Hong Jong Hyun is on the reality show — Pretending to Get Married – his partner is Yura – from Girl’s Day K-Pop Group.
December 1st, 2014 at 4:54 pm
I am enjoying this program. I like the characters. It is not as crazy as some of the other programs with all the yelling, and parents saying who they should marry, and all the nastiness.
December 9th, 2014 at 5:43 pm
Some of the story lines in the drama’s are stupid. Rae Yun- the mistress when she was sick and she called Taejoo and he didn’t go to her, she either drove herself or took a cab to their company, why couldn’t she just not go to the doctor’s instead of the company? And the elevator doors open with her in it and it just happens that Taejoo is there. That was stupid.
But when Stella Hahn and Ji Sub got to the doctor/hospital, and they met Taejoo, I thought Stella would see he was with Rae Yun again, but that did not happen. They should have made Stella somehow see Rae Yun. Stupid.
