the drama is great..it is my first introduction to fabulous OH JI HO then i got addicted:i watched Couple or Trouble and Get Karl with english subtitles and i find hardtimes in getting Autumn Shower or Thank U life..which arenot avaliable in mysoju.com..
if anyone can recommend me a site for watching it online (ith english subtitles)i will be thankful..i just want to watch as much OH JI HO as i can..
i really hope he got awarded for this drama..it is a huge turn from comedy to tragedy..i laughed and cried..and in both i enjoyed..
the whole cast is great..and korean drama just rocks 🙂

I like the ending of the drama as there does not state the condition of the Poong -Ho after the surgery. It means the happiness is not rely on the result of surgery, but the love of the father to the son and son to the father.

Dear ZIO-Angels AMANY and DOJA, you are not going to like what I am saying here, but it’s something to “get off my chest”.
RE SINGLE PAPA
Because ZIO’s hairstyle in “King” of Housewives is the same as that in SINGLE PAPA, I decided to watch SINGLE PAPA again.
Much as I enjoy ZIO’s superb acting, expressions, actions, handsomeness and his lovely, adorable and cute “son”, unfortunately, I still do not know how to appreciate the leading lady, HEO YI JAI, who acted as Jeon Ha Ri — I still find her to be much too skinny, i.e. skinny arms and skinny legs – she reminded me of Olive Oyl, Popeye’s girlfriend!
The rest of the support casts didn’t “move” me either.

AMANY,
You’ll love this – a new ZIO-Angel from Chicago USA (originally from Michigan) joined the Soompi forum.
She said she came across Oh Ji Ho last summer when she moved into her new house and did not have cable for a few months. One night she was extremely bored and started watching the Korean channel (she thinks it was KBS) since it had subtitles and she was curious about other cultures. She started watching what she thought was a soap opera (it was SINGLE PAPA IN LOVE) and saw the most beautiful man she had ever seen in her life!
Lucky for her, she has a good guy friend who is Korean and demanded he tell her who that gorgeous man was. She’s been obsessed ever since! Thanks to mysoju.com she also watched ZIO in Get Karl, Oh Soo Jung (she says he was so dreamy), La Belle, and queen of housewives. She’s currently working her way through Super Rookie and next is Fantasy Couple. She says ZIO is such a great actor!

This is a a very touching story line. Zio’s looks and acting skills are always marvellous. His little son Kang San is also cute and very good little actor. The only thing I am not happy about this drama is that the main actress Heo Yi Jae is not that great. There is no chemistry between OJH and herself. I don’t know why she was chosen as the lead actress in this drama. Her acting skills are very bad and childish. She is not that pretty either. I found it very annoying when she was trying to make Pung Ho laugh by sniffing her nose into the water bottle. There was nothing funny about it. This drama is definitely worthed more if OJH was paired with another better leading actress. I like him a lot when he was paired with LDH in Slave Hunters. That was the best!

Single Dady In Love is the second Korean drama I followed faithfully. Unfortunately, I got disapointed the way the drama ended. Mr Director, what a waste???
March 2nd, 2011 at 10:47 am
i followed this drama eagerly but the ending is,,,,,,,?i assumed that pungho is doing his treatment but i need a not confusing ending
April 15th, 2011 at 11:06 pm
i just finished watching this, made me cry, the bonding of father & son was just fantastic, but yeah i agree the ending seems kinda hanging in the air, i can only assume he didn’t make it? overall, i just was surprised that it’s a good drama, i didn’t watch it while airing but since i saw O Ji ho in chuno i wanted to see how this one with him as well! the child actor was so good, convincing in his acting & he made me cry a lot! OJH was also great in this drama, i like him more now!
April 15th, 2011 at 11:11 pm
i meant to say also that the OST of this drama is really nice! i just wished they’ve extended this series showing OJH whether he made it or not! one thing with Kdramas sometimes the story gets you going but the ending spoils all the momentum! 🙁
September 22nd, 2011 at 11:10 am
very good movie not only the character but all the artist …i love this story..perfect … :D…
July 24th, 2012 at 10:19 am
I never like sad endings so I only aim for all happy endings series LOL
In life we go for and aim for happy endings..and I do not like crying for so many episodes cos the movies are sad like autumn in my heart and some others
