April 1st, 2012 at 11:21 pm
its interesting?? wow ,…
April 2nd, 2012 at 12:05 pm
Finally… I wish there will be more photo’s about the casts, but I just can’t believe its 100+episodes.. wow… can I watch it all?
April 3rd, 2012 at 11:25 am
aw man…the 100+ episodes seem too much for me…thought it would be a regular 16-24 series…
April 3rd, 2012 at 12:08 pm
As much as I love Ryu Jin, I think 100+ episodes is too much for me 🙁
April 3rd, 2012 at 3:56 pm
Omo I love the cast already.
I don’t want to see such a long drama again but damn I cannot resist by such an awesome cast!!
Will watch it although this drama will kill my precious free time haha>:D

it’s a sitcom airing 3-5 episode a week. 23-45 minutes long per episode. taking about 6-7 months to finish. Kinda like the High Kick Series where this sitcom came from. I don’t know about this one. Yeah there’s alot of good faces here but no one of is a true comedian. Like the sitcom More Charming By The Day, i dont think it will be any close to High Kick 2&3. But let’s just hope for the best. Im not gonna watch it rigth away anyway. Wait until around june/july before I’ll start watching so there will be about 40-60 episode out.

Jung So Min, Nae Noona come backkkkkk yey… Cukkhae… Saranghae noona.
April 6th, 2012 at 10:34 pm
Would love to see another side of Ryu Jin, after all those serious n ill-fated husband 2nd lead roles he had. Love Siwan! This sure sounds a lot better than Hi Kick 3!
April 7th, 2012 at 9:45 pm
Jung so min i like ur acting.i hope this drama will be best for u.best of luck.
April 8th, 2012 at 6:53 am

April 12th, 2012 at 8:18 am
Don’t like it after two episodes. I think I am not made out for sitcoms.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:10 pm

April 18th, 2012 at 11:02 am

Some episodes are even subbed!
April 30th, 2012 at 8:23 pm
I’ll start watching this as soon as I Need a Fairy finishes its run. I’ll miss it, n will comfort myself by watch Siwon, Ryu Jin and Beanpole. 🙂
May 1st, 2012 at 5:40 pm
@KDaddict
You should def watch it!!! I watch I need a fairy always live so I have time to watch Standby in my free time.
It is really awesome and I always laugh my ass off!:D
May 2nd, 2012 at 11:18 am
@GHSforever,
Good to see u here. I was feeling a bit lonely on I need a Fairy. I’m rooting for Cha Se Joo n Fairygirl to end up together. I think her mom may find her clothes n go home, but I hope she stays after he proposes. Haha. Will join u here next week.
To ppl who worry abt its length:
This is Not a KD; it is a sit-com. Each ep is less than 30 mins., plus sit-coms go much more quickly n make for easy watching: no angst, no suspense, no torture.
May 2nd, 2012 at 9:04 pm
@KDaddictYes I really hope that they end up together. But I wish that her mother will stay too. I really like her too.
And yes I never get tired of sit-com. It is really easy too watch. It’s different than KD. I mean I am actually tired of Fashion King. I watched all the episodes till now and the characters are so plain stupid. The only reason I watch the drama is because of Shin Se Kyung and Lee Je Hoon. I’m kinda feel bad because of Lee Je Hoon. He took this role instead of the role of Prince Jae Ha in the King2hearts. I bet that he would have made an awesome Prince and King. But I am satisfied with Lee Seung gi so it does not matter. Okay I talked enough. See you then next week.:D

@GHSforever,
Just typed a long message in response to #24, n it disappeared into cyberspace!
May 13th, 2012 at 9:59 am
Ep 1:
Oh, I just started it this morning.
Ryu Jin plays a bumbling idiot, who can’t do anything rt. He was hired as a broadcaster just for his looks. It’s gt to see them make fun of sb w good looks on tv. This is much funnier than Hi Kick.
There r plenty of familiar faces. Siwan is so pretty. Who is the girl who works in the convenience store? I know I’ve seen her recently, but in which drama?
May 13th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
I like the chars in this show.
The Ryu brothers r precious. Tho Ryn Jin’s char is incompetent, a cleanliness freak, he has a heart of gold. I wouldn’t have believed his fear of his father, except that I have a cousin who is the same way. As an adult, she is afraid to talk back to her mother, n would ask me to talk to her mother abt the smallest things on her behalf. The younger Ryu brother is so likable. I like how he is not afraid of his father. He is easy going, but has a mischievous side.
Talking abt mischievous, I remember now! That girl in the store is from Mischievous Kiss. No wonder she looks so familiar, as does every one else on the show. It feels like meeting up with a group of old friends! Ha!
May 13th, 2012 at 8:38 pm
Ep 6:
Ryu Jin Hwang IS a bumbling idiot alright! He thought Si Wan stole 1m won. I love that Si wan has so much air time. What a sensible young man his char is. N they keep making fun of Lee Ki Woo being as tall as a tree. Ha ha ha.
May 14th, 2012 at 4:16 pm
Ep 11:
Siwan dresses up as Heo Yeom in METS.
Ahhh! P-r-e-t-t-y!
May 20th, 2012 at 2:36 am
Why haven’t the episodes been subbed lately? =( I really want to catch up on this sitcom. BTW- can someone tell me if Ki Woo is supposed to be Jung So Min’s love interest in this show? They are so cute and funny together! =)
May 20th, 2012 at 12:52 pm
@intyce:
It doesn’t look like Ki Woo is Jung So Min’s love interest, at least no to date. She has a rush on Ryu Jin’s char since the day they met in univ.
May 22nd, 2012 at 3:27 pm
@intyce:
My mistake. I was thinking of So Hyun, you were talking abt So Ming. Their love line is still Unclear up to ep 30. They seemed to have made a good connection at first, but nothing has come it of it yet.
The love line between Daddy Ryu n the program director is entirely uninteresting.
May 23rd, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Thanks KDaddict! ^_^
May 27th, 2012 at 7:37 pm
Ep32:
I hate stupid chars, even in a sitcom! Ryu Jin’s char is so incompetent that he can’t even rent an apt properly. He got v upset when his father wanted to propose to his boss, so he wanted to move out, huffing n puffing. That char must be in his mid to late 30’s. I say, it is hi time he moves out with Siwan, so that Siwan wouldn’t have to suffer his dad’s ill-treatment. But in the process of ap-hunting, he got all his money cheated by a con artist! What grown man with years of working experience would be that stupid! That is not sb I can respect, even as a fictional char.
May 29th, 2012 at 11:47 pm
Ep 35:
Not too fond of this show right now, bc it is so focused on Father on his girlfriend. Siwan hasn’t been showing up much, nor So Ming. Lee Ki Woo is just a secondary char, n so is the girl next door, Soo Hyun. Not much story going on except Father’s courtship n wedding.
May 29th, 2012 at 11:48 pm
does anyone know what is the song appeared in Ep19 at 17:55 ????
please let me know the title…thankssssssss guyss <3
saranghae yeorobun!!
May 30th, 2012 at 12:31 am
@KDaddict where do you watch these episodes?
June 4th, 2012 at 1:50 am
@MJN,
I watch live on Korean tv.
June 30th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
I’ve watched up to Ep.40 and I guess Si Wan has a little crush on So Min. ^_^ I thought So Min would be matched up with Ki Woo but it looks like he and Soo Hyun have something going on.
July 7th, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Anyone know the song title in Ep19, at 18:00?
when ryun jin bring the queen to meet his dad at a dinner, it’s actually music only, not a song..
July 11th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
LEE KI WOOOOOOOOO so damn hot… <3 kyaaaaaa
July 14th, 2012 at 10:59 pm
