I must say this drama had me laughing on the first two episodes. When I see Yoo Joon Sang in a drama, I must watch because his
character is always the best. He cracked me up on Heard It Through The Grapevine. This drama will receive high ratings.

If anybody lived as poong san does, they wouldn’t just get sick, they would go barking mad.

Generally enjoying this drama. It’s been a long time seeing a kdrama with with a bunch of losers as leads. Refreshing : )

A drama that makes u frustrated. It’s not because it’s bad but ‘cus every characters seem won’t have a way out of their problems. *sigh*
Nb: i keep watching it patiently ‘cus it has 40 eps and happy ending waits at the end of the road. 😂

Good chemistry between the leads

this is a great drama. the family is so pathetic. with family like this who need enemies. Poong Sang is toooo nice for his own good

Lovely end. I love a good fairy tale.
These lovely veteran actors bring the drama to life. Otherwise might have been another same old same old

A very good drama, perfect. There are many times when I was so frustrated with Poong Sang’s family bcs they just twist things and dont understand him but on second thought, this is the reality. The behavior of each character is unique and really real. And yes, I hate the mother. How on earth would someone like that existed in this world. But it happens. I relate myself as first born so much with Poong Sang.
