This drama has been on my PTW list for a while, like since the trailer came out. I kept putting it on hold because the rating just kept getting lower and lower and I didn't think it was worth the watch. Glad I finally watched it though. It was so cute! I do love a good rom-com, Kdrama style! While there is certainly nothing new and mind-blowing about this drama, it hit all the right feels for me, even though it was frustrating to get all the way through.
Story: BE WARNED- if you're not a fan of the overbearing and manipulating in-law theme, then don't even bother with this drama. The entire plot is based around the mother-and-daughter-in-law relationship. While it was funny and a bit annoying to watch in the beginning it just became downright disappointing to watch the daughter-in-laws get treated as badly as they do and take it, while the sons are easily let off the hook. I will say that it all works out in the end for all of the story lines and the mothers learn their lessons (kinda) but boy was it a LONG 12 episodes to sit through and watch because of it. It helped that In Yeong helps check everyone from time to time, but the relationship between Kang Jun Su's mom and wife was just sad and unbearable.
Acting/Cast: Awesome. I can say that because I really believed in Ryu Soo Young's nerdy but lovable character Myeong Seok (which is saying a lot since I'm used to him being the bad guy from other dramas). And even though I hated some characters my heart still melted when they found forgiveness ;-)
Music: Cute and on trend. Especially for whenever Oh In Yeong was supposed to perform. Hilarious, catchy and cute.
Rewatch Value: Go for it! My favorite part to rewatch about a rom-com is the falling-in-love part. I'd happily skip over the overbearing mothers-in-law. (I mean seriously?! Right up until the last episode....)
Overall: You have to be in the right mood to appreciate this one (a happy, love-dovey, cheesy mood). At 12 episodes its perfect for a weekend drama-thon.
