@jedi
Have you watched Protect The Boss and Bachelor’s Vegetable Store? I used to dislike Wang Ji Hye too but began to accept her after watching the two dramas.
October 25th, 2012 at 7:56 am
@Micc,
Yes, I did
I watched her first time in personal taste, and I liked her in that drama, but after Protect The Boss and Bachelor I got annoyed with her acting … ^^`

This drama is very absurd. Especially, the character of Baek Gun Wook is strange. He can get the company of his former girl friend by marrying her. What a naive story plot it is! This Mr. Kim character is also very unrealistic. This daily show will continue more than 100 episodes? Come on, make the story move forward.
January 4th, 2013 at 5:14 pm
i like this drama
January 8th, 2013 at 8:39 pm
wow kimdong wan is so good here .. and i always watch shinwha broadcast because of him .. more power to your show
January 8th, 2013 at 8:40 pm
the ratings is very high congrats …
January 9th, 2013 at 10:09 am
i like this drama…although some people said the mr.kim character is unrealistics but i think it’s heartwarming…..of course each person has two side the good one and the bad one….but mr. kim choose more of the good side and i don’t think it’s unrealistics.
kim dong wan hwaitting!!!
January 9th, 2013 at 1:11 pm
im on my 15th episode .. my hanky is wet coz of tears .. im loving the story .. i was amazed how mr kim can endure all that is happening..
January 11th, 2013 at 3:48 pm
i love this series.. really a family man. he’ll be a very good father..hehhe..
January 15th, 2013 at 10:57 pm
i find this drama interesting. i dont see it to be unrealistic. mrkim grew up being nurtured and mentored by his brother. Growing up without parent’s love is a tragic but thats not an excuse. in the end of the day, there are two roads that he had to choose : abandon his nephew like his mother abandon him and his brother when he is still a baby or take care of his nephew and be a parent to her like his brother did to him. from there, his humanity prevailed. this is a story about a man who wanted to make a simple life with his adopted childrens.
January 21st, 2013 at 1:53 am
whwere can i watch the episodes of this dorama? please help me … I found it ..pretty interesting 😀
January 24th, 2013 at 9:48 am
People…. I know most of you read comments to see whether a drama is worth it or not, but please trust me… this is not like any other daily drama. You have to give it a chance…. it’s awesome with many small problems surrounding it but gets solved quickly. Now this is a family drama you can watch without regrets. I’m at Episode 32 right now and I’m ready for all the others. I guess I can come back to comment after this show ends 🙂 To show my commitment for this drama (haha) It tops many other dailies like Bride Of The Sun,Pure Pumpkin Flower and My Daughter The Flower.
January 26th, 2013 at 2:54 pm
Love the show
February 7th, 2013 at 2:50 pm
Marathoning this show: Ep 12 right now. Love, love, love it. They talk about a lot of social problems in SK right now but it’s not done with doom and gloom. A real feel good drama. The cast is excellent. I admit I had a bad image of the daily dramas, but here I have to change my mind. Hope it will stay that good until the end.

I like this drama, it is so heartwarming and the story is so nice.
I hope the main characters will be able to be together as both of them are so good together. Im on episode 84 at the moment and finally they get closer together!
March 5th, 2013 at 11:10 am
Baek Gun Wook character is strange. He is a scumbag in the drama. I hate this guy meddling with others’ life.

Really? A scene in Batangas, Philippines? I can’t wait to see it. We are only on Episode 70 here…. So, I shall wait…This particular drama has not really gained any momentum for me like others that have appeared on the 7:00 slot time. I am waiting for the drama with IU. Does anyone know anything about it?
March 28th, 2013 at 5:23 pm
I;m not comfortable on where the drama Mr Kim is heading.
It is now being implied that the rich daughter/ teacher is having feelings for Mr Kim, which is giving me goose pimples.
Mr Kim being paired with his friend and neighbour/ school nurse fits the scenario much better and the rich daughter to match with the rich son/ stepson Geonuk.
I can’t imagine Mr Kim and WuKyung together as a couple – it seems incestuous enough and would have been great if the storyline of them remaining great friends would continue.
April 2nd, 2013 at 3:22 am
This drama is very long. This should end already as the story does not make any sense at all.
April 3rd, 2013 at 5:27 pm
after BIRTH OF THE RICH . this is the first time i m enjoying any drama sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
April 4th, 2013 at 11:43 pm
So touching. Watch till episode 107. It’s a nice drama however, the romantic side is too less. Hope there is more romantic side to it. Other than that, its a inspiring drama with family bonds and moral story.
Too much hardship and tears. Hope for a better ending. Gonna end soon at EP124.

Kim Dong Wan is very GOOD actor! and he is so nice in this drama… I like this drama very much 🙂
April 10th, 2013 at 7:27 pm
Kdrama_fan , I think only you and me are not 100% fan of this drama. Kim Dong Wan is handsome but his expressions of anger, sadness, confusion are all same. However, since he was awarded, my view may be wrong. Teenage girl might fall on handsome housekeeper or worker. But 30 years old adult is more mature to think of possibilities. On the whole this drama gives lesson on possitive thinking, to be humble, forgiveness, honesty and so on, which is good.
April 12th, 2013 at 2:41 am
@kel it was a family drama, so definitely it will not focused on romantic side 🙂
April 22nd, 2013 at 11:07 am
I watched a few eps over the weekend. I agree with @Ponunae, the lead has such a short range. He’s like someone who just started acting lessons at the local community school. He might get a part as a Vulcan extra in the next Star Trek movie..haha. It must frustrate other actors having to work opposite someone like that.
Choi Jung Yoon is an actress I like. Both she and Ji Hye was working hard to strike-up some chemistry with the lead, but it’s just not there. Not even a wee bit. Yea I realize the character has had no romantic relations in his life, but still he is human.
That said, I applaud the producers, writers and directors who hold to traditional values. Perhaps the Korean culture demands it of them. It made a worthwhile experience for me.
April 24th, 2013 at 8:27 pm
The plot has gone from bad to worse. It was good at first then eventually the story became absurd.
It started when the rich teacher started chasing the lead actor. I still think that she is selfish and had no regard for mr Kim at all.
April 24th, 2013 at 9:35 pm
I totally agree with you syrena. I also realized the longer this drama goes on ,the more ridiculous it gets! There isn’t a lot of romance between the two leads. When will bad things happen to Bgw and his father?? I watched up to ep120 today and was wondering if it ends at 124 is it enough episodes to show us a happy ending.?
May 15th, 2013 at 12:05 am
Stupid ass drama!! Don’t watch this drama!! It’s a waste of time.
May 19th, 2013 at 8:32 pm
I do enjoy watching some of the k dramas but does anyone realise that in most k dramas, the actor and actress can stare each other without anything being said for a good 10 seconds? To combat the silence, there’s exhaustive yelling … must they yell at each other to get their point across? Some of the actors and actresses have such wooden expression, you cannot tell whether they are happy or sad.
May 23rd, 2013 at 8:43 pm
I’ve been watching it whenever my time allows.
However, I find the relationship between Huirae and Hogyeong disturbing.
I am not Korean and no matter how I see it, I am interpreting it the wrong way. Perhaps it won’t be as bad if Huirae was of age but presumably in this drama she is still in her early high sschool age and is underage as against Hogyeong who must be in his mid-to late 30’s.
Sorry, but the way it is being presented shows poor taste. It is not only me. I was watching it with a British colleague and he did even say to me- what is it with those two?
As for the rest of the cast – they are doing very well. I love the kids and the grandma’s and not to forget the neighbours downstairs.
May 23rd, 2013 at 8:48 pm
As for Ugyeong – My thoughts of her as selfish remains.
She was more concerned on how Tapyeong and the kids felt than her own family, more so to her brother and Dad. Didn’t consider on what the Grandmas would feel. As per the episode I’ve watched, the Grandmas dont know yet. Far too many secrets.
There again, this is only a drama.
June 6th, 2013 at 8:29 am
I’ve watched every episode and thought this was a somewhat entertaining drama…
I just watched episode 121 and find that this drama has gone from somewhat entertaining to absolutely ABSURD…. Only 3 more episodes to go, I wonder how this mess will end.
I’ve been watching dramas for years, but here lately they all seem to be mediocre. My have to find a new pastime.
