It feels like I had invested so much of my time and love for this show and was slapped in the face for my hard effort and commitment. I felt that there was a lack of build up towards the ending and they struggled to tie together all the loose ends. <br /><br />Before I go on *spoilers* warning.<br /><br />Where was Director O and his people? What happened to them? Was it REALLY necessary for Hong to leave? Why was the DNA test negative? What was with the odd monologue about Science from Jin A at the end? Was that even relevant?<br /><br />It really felt like they had run out of budget and cut off production.<br /><br />But then I also wondered... was this really a story about romance? Or about Jin A and her mother learning lessons and getting back on their feet? It would have been slightly pointless if Jin A had, in the end, gotten together with one of the boys from the Noh family. She has a secured position in a company, was able to earn an income, had a roof over her head, was respected by her peers and directors, a better relationship with her mother, and lost her fear for the dark. In that way... I am sort of bitterly satisfied with the ending. <br /><br />But even then, it felt like Jin A had men leaving her life since she was small... and honestly, makes Hong leaving at the end even more cruel. The fact he wasn't the real son either was also odd and poorly explained. I also question the legitimacy of those results based on where the family pulled the DNA samples from. <br /><br />SPOILERS END<br /><br />Overall... a good k-drama. Probably won't invest 120 episode again until next exam block.

Sadly, I think it's only exclusive on the site so there's not many options outside of that.

Since the show airs 4 days a week I enjoy keeping up with it and now I'm hooked! Of course, like any sitcom, there are some great episodes (one of my personal favorites was episode 83) and some "meh" episodes. But there are some great moments and the actors are really good as well. Yeo Jin Goo, Ha Yeon Soo, Go Kyung Pyo, Lee Soon Jae, Jang Kiha...the list goes on. I've also really come to enjoy the breakout actress Seo Ye Ji as well!<br />Anyway, I look forward to my daily dose of Potato Star and the love line especially has me hanging. I live for the moments between Hongberg and Na Jin Ah!

I haven't had any previous experience with dailies either, so it's a bit hard to start. But I do think I might give it another chance someday, because...well, it has Yeo Jin Goo.
