One of the worst family drama I ever watched. Most of the characters are troublemaker who add drama to drama, creating the same dynamics/cliché, for 70 long and draggy episodes. The story evolved arount one family, the parents and their three sons with the respective wife. The rest of the cast is there just to create trouble for each couple and consequently to the family.

The mother is selfish and treat like shit all of her daughter in law, and when things doesn't go like she want she throws tantrums. Her three childern are even worse, they are all spoiled brat/mama boy. The father is the only one to have common sense but he is one against four.

The eldest son is useless, he try hard to to the right thing but always end up in trouble, at some point it became almost comical to see such a character, I felt sorry for the actor. Of course his wife is the perfect troublemaker and the two of them are the perfect pair when it came to create drama.

The second son suffers from an inferiority complex, desperately looking for his mother's attention while treating her wife like shit. While her wife is a saint, she is the only character I cared about and I felt sorry she had to put up with such a family.

The third son is very immature and of course he end up marrying an immature spoil brat girl, the perfect couple, their story is based on misunderstanding and their back and forth became soon boring and repetitive.

This drama is the classic example of lazy writing. After 20-30 episodes it becomes clear that the drama has nothing to tell, the characters don't improve and the story is stuck in a loop.
Even the characters were written in pairs of two, the writer wrote the male version and then he copied it for the female. The troublemaking son marries a troublemaker, the immature son marries an immature, and the son with the inferiority complex marries a woman who doesn't respect herself but bears everything.

Overall is really a bad makjang about a family who suffers every kind of trouble, there are better family drama out there to waste 70 hours on this one. I really felt sorry for the cast, what a waste of talent.
