I've just started watching this and so far it's really good. I'm still in the back-story episodes, but I'm really impressed with the acting of the children and the story has pulled me in. Has anyone seen this? Or is there anyone planning to see it?

I am spoiled for the ending...But So Ji Sub looks so good! ...someday... ♥

Oh my god! This couple makes me so angry. They are so selfish and evil. ** First they hit the girl with their truck and don't take her to the hospital for treatment.Then when they find out she can't remember who she is, they do nothing! And try to abandon her, when the police bring her back they lie about who she really is. They treat her like dirt, and run off with her in the middle of the night. Why couldn't they just leave her? Her sister and Grandfather are searching so desperately for her!** I hope they get found out and properly punished.

Omo! :O Sung Dong Il ahjussi is in this drama! ♥♥♥

Yay! I'll have someone to discuss with. :)

it's a good drama...i've watched it several years ago...it was aired in our local tv station..so i enjoyed it,being dubbed in my own language.

Episode 14 Oh no! **He got beaten pretty badly! I hope he'll be ok. I wonder if he's gonna propose to her with the ring he just bought.
Also, I find the whole relationship between Tae Hee and Jae Hyuk strange. They hardly knew each other when they were younger, and then they don't see each other for over 20 years. But Tae Hee waited for him the whole time? Sure he helped her out when they were young, but I still didn't feel a strong connection between them. Her getting jealous just because he was talking to another girl just seems ridiculous and juvenile. =__=**
