Beautiful, emotional, funny
It's a beautiful story of a child adapting her life to her new stepmother who is a workaholic.The story unfolds with a child Miyuki reluctantly trying to accept her new mother, Akiko.
Akiko's journey to motherhood of a workaholic career woman was a fun watch. I found it beautiful, how this woman gave up everything she was, to raise a child that was not her own. Her relations with her husband Ryoichi, who she had a contract with, bloomed into something so beautiful, that I bawled my eyes out when it ended :"(
And Ryoichi! I cannot stop praising his character! Such a ray of sunshine! Always smiling and trying to make everyone happy! People like him are a gem. I feel like his character will stay with me for a long time. <3
The story has a leap where the child grows into a young woman, entering adulthood. It is interesting to see her relationship with her stepmother who at this point is more dear to her than anyone else in the world.
This drama is a must-watch if you are looking for a light family drama that will stir your emotions. It's a beautiful mix of comedy, family love, a bit of romance and also deals with the loss of loved ones. Do give it a watch, you'll love it to the end!

A cosy watch
This drama is such a sweet watch! I laughed and cried along with the characters. While 50 episodes is a lot of commitment, you'll become so enthralled by the sory line that you'll want to keep watching.Really enjoyed how each of the characters grew and developed to become better versions of themselves, especially Woo Jung Woo and Park Pil Hong, these two character's developments were a delight to watch.
If you're lost and wondering if you should give this drama a go, then wonder no more! Give it a go! You'll definately enjoy it and and come to love this large family who reside in Samgwang Villa.

A Must Watch Family Drama
This drama is so good! I was a bit hessitant going into a 58 episode drama but in 3 to 4 episodes, it had me hooked! Enjoyed every moment of this drama. It was so well executed. It is rare to find a drama that hooks you in untill the very end.The love and respect the family has for each other is really heartwarming. I really liked how they did not streatch an issue for too long. Everyone had a story. Most of the caracters are loveable, especially our lead couple, Ja Eun and Tae He. It was a delight to watch both their characters and thier love grow! Tae He's character is too good! He is like a soft-angry-young man, if that makes any sense. And Ja Eun is like sunshine, sensible and caring for others. The second lead couple was really cute too! Watching Cha Soo Young and Tae Bom grow and mature as a couple was also really uplifiting. All the other cast members acted and carried out their roles to perfection.
Not only is it the best makjang drama, but really is one of the best dramas I have ever seen.
Even though its a 58 episode drama, I rearly skipped any scenes, and might even re-watch in a year. Truely, this drama is a gem and a must watch!

Cute romance with a bit of melodrama
I really liked this drama, especially with the ending! Never have I been THIS happy with how the drama ended. They really kept me guessing till the second last episode! Really enjoyed Bong Ki's antics. He is such a loveable character! Undoubtedly, one of Lee Min Ki's best roles <3However, I did feel that they did not tie up all the stories properly. They left the stories of some of the supporting characters hanging... Also, I was irritated with the FL at some points. Like GURL, GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!!
But overall, it was a nice drama.

A Classic!
This drama is so good that I dont even know where to start raving about it! The Characters are all so good and characteristic that you can't but love them all! The ML Halu is a star! Loved his personality, its so attractive! And FL truely is, as Halu put it, 'someone from the last century'. Such poise and elegance its rare in Charactersnowadays. I loved the passion they had for hockey and also how everyonehad each other's back's. It was beautiful to watch such a strong camaraderie. This drama was such a heart warming drama and so perfectin every aspect.Was this review helpful to you?
A must watch
Such a wonderful college life drama! Loved every minute of it!It was amazing how they were equally able to show the stories of all 4 girls. So it was like watching 4 stories and you could hardly skip much if anything at all (I can't sith through a drama and not skip small unnecessary scenes).
The 4 main characters were very written. Their friendship was beautiful, something we all yearn for. The fact that they were so different from each other yet came together so beautifully, was a treat to watch. Their love interests were also fun to watch.
Overall, their experience was so realistic. I couldn't help but laugh and cry along with these girls as they transformed from young college students to wonderful adults.
I would 100% recommend this college life drama as I thought it brought out many aspects of our growing years where we transform into adults.
Do watch this drama, you won't regret it!! It's so good!

Such a fun drama!
Really enjoyed this drama. It was pure comedy and so fun to watch!The FL is an airhead who takes life as it comes and is always enthusiastic. Her candid nature and empathy made her a great watch. Loved her hilarious mistakes and reactions.
The ML is the complete opposite of the FL: doesn't talk too much, is serious about life and isn't too enthusiastic. He has a strong dislike for the main lead; a great premise for a romantic relationship. However, I still can't believe that they made such a wonderful show with such great characters and did not have any romance between them! Not that I am complaining. It was a great watch nonetheless.
Here's hoping for another season where we watch our FL grow into a professional newscaster.
