Entertaining drama. Simple storyline yet very sweet and heartwarming. I must say that im a bit dissapointed with the ending but i fully understand why Chan Woo and Do Kyung can’t be together again. Things have changed in their 17 years apart. It was a very wise decision for Chan Woo to letting Do Kyung back to where she belongs to. A way of love that not anybody is able to do. Like he said, my way of loving her is to let her goes so that i can see her living her life full of hapiness. Very amazing. So everyone out there, try to understand what is the message that the writer is trying to deliver to audiences like us. Personally it’s worth watching and i will definately recommend to watch. Cheers….

I checked out a set of 8 episodes from the library and the last one was damaged about 1/4 of the way through. Now, I am dying to know what happens. Who does Do-kyung end up with? Her husband? Or the gorgeous guy? Or does she end up being a career woman? What about the other one, Gong – how does she end up? Does the husband ever grow up? What about the dance teacher – it seemed like something was going on with the sister in law?
December 18th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
nice story
December 20th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
hmff . . seems like chan woo and dogyeong will not end up together . . i really want them to end up together in the end . . but at the same time, i feel bad for the husband coz he always try to change for his family . . the only one i hate in this drama is that gongshim . . she’s a flirt . . she feels she’s so pretty . . she’s acting nice in front of chanwoo, but when he turn he’s back . . . hmmmm
