October 26th, 2016 at 7:41 pm
A fun drama to watch. Really interesting. A good drama to begin with after the ending of MDBC. KBS really pulling all stops for their year end drama. Kudos!
October 26th, 2016 at 9:37 pm
Hi @Marion could you let me know if in the webtoon, the “stepfather” and her actually get romantic, or if it’s just for the show?

Thank goodness Yoo Seung Ho & Yoon Shi Yoon declined the offer as lead actor. The reason i love watching this drama definitely because handsome yet cute Kim Young Kwang who really express the sweetness as the drama title. Ofcourse beside the interesting story line itself.
November 12th, 2016 at 1:05 pm
A sweet and pleasant drama. Good drama for relaxing after a hectic day.
November 13th, 2016 at 4:09 am
I am a fan of both Yoo Seung Ho and Yoon Shi Yoon but I am glad they declined the offer the role just seems perfect for Kim Young Kwang. I can’t wait to see Yoo Seung Ho’s next project.
November 15th, 2016 at 1:44 pm
Sweetest ever epi 7. Totally loving this drama.
November 15th, 2016 at 3:05 pm

Soo Ae really looks great in jean. The drama is wholesome and casting is great. Really enjoy watching.
November 22nd, 2016 at 3:18 pm
i just watched episode 9, so interesting to watch!
November 26th, 2016 at 4:31 pm
Na Ri and Yoo Joo looks great in jeans. I really enjoy watching this drama, Soo Ae is really a versatile actress one actress who can transform facial expression to acting.
November 29th, 2016 at 3:17 pm
Good drama! KYK fighting!
November 30th, 2016 at 3:03 pm
This is a very good drama with good actors and actresses. Keep up the good work!
December 1st, 2016 at 12:33 am
Soo Ae is as beautiful as ever. This drama is light, fun and sweet. The couple look good together.
December 5th, 2016 at 1:26 pm
I really love this drama..whatever about the rating..i really enjoyed watching this drama ^^
December 7th, 2016 at 2:54 pm
two more episodes and the issues will be resolved. i want to find out why kwon’s father gave the land to na ri’s mother when she was 15. i don’t know about competing dramas on mondays and tuesdays, but this series is good to watch – one of those that you don’t get flustered by the characters lives.
December 14th, 2016 at 3:33 pm
it’s interesting at the beginning but i found it become more boring at the middle episode i stopped watching it when episode 10.
December 14th, 2016 at 9:00 pm
with all the flashbacks, seems like the writers could not do anything more interesting, should have shortened the number of episodes to have an impact. the ratings are understandable. didn’t get the info i wanted to know, but that’s okay.
December 15th, 2016 at 1:09 am
I’m so glad it ended well. So hottie both KYK and LSH 🙂

Never liked Soo Ae in any drama till now. I’m on episode 2 . . . hilarious.
December 21st, 2016 at 1:10 am
The female actress Soo Ae not good for this drama coz she’s face names now a women not young women or girl. So not match for acting cute for her face. For 2 actor lead, she like mama, cant be girlfriend even here she’s older then them. Or maybe she can cover for her age with colour her hair or make curly or straight hair or more long so that audience not see her face but look how colour her hair, how shining her long hair with balck colour n bla.. Maybe difficult to find actress for mid level actor. Actually if Korea choose some models to be actress not choose from girls band, maybe handsome actor can be balance with how much they have pretty actress. As we know models have good looking also good for style.
December 24th, 2016 at 4:04 pm
One of the annoying things about this drama is how the leads sometimes talk to each other like they’re actors reading off their character’s lines. The writer(s) wrote a draft and did nothing more to it I guess.
January 7th, 2017 at 10:10 am
Don’t care what others think about this drama. I believe SWEET STRANGER AND ME is a grrrrreat drama! It’s certainly one that I’ll be seeing again and again. There may have been an age difference in the actors but as some special guy once quoted, “age ain’t nothing but a number, baby.” I loved the way everything was settled and how they got ready for the final episode to come to a close, which was the best! I hate when they try to rush the ending. CONGRATULATIONS cast and crew for a job well done!
January 18th, 2017 at 2:26 pm
I’m still watching this drama. And I really love it until now.. I wonder why the rating is declining.. The story line is a little bit unusual, it’s what made this drama interesting. Falling in love with your misterious young stepfather?? Hmmm…that’s why I want to know..
February 23rd, 2017 at 8:35 pm
it was good until ep 10 after that every episode is dragging…….
July 26th, 2017 at 2:45 pm
I am trying hard, but, I honestly cannot remember anything about this drama except the cute model was in it and he lived with the lead character’s mother. I doubt if I made it to 8 episodes.
March 25th, 2018 at 10:29 pm
like this drama.lead character i an ideal man next to lovers in paris.
March 26th, 2018 at 9:33 am
I LIKE IT.THE LEAD MALE CHARACTER IS MORE MATURE THAN THE OTHER LEAD MALE DRAMA

This was a really so-so drama for me. It started out really promising and had some great characters, but the story was so slow and felt like it never went anywhere. Just an okay watch.
