The basis of this story was good, and if directed by someone different maybe it could have been more life filled, I liked the bonding between the women, they really stood up for each other and literally became each other's family. It was nice watching they bake, learn, and sing/dance together *song* 'Gen, gen, gen, gentlemenida' - I'd get a kick out of Yeong Ok (Yoko) whenever she'd belt out this song lol - As for the romance aspect of this drama, it was good but nothing spectacular. I loved the growth in character of Do Jin (Do Sang Woo) & I actually liked his story more than the leads :P I loved Woo Seok's (Ha Suk Jin) character/personality, he was smart, loyal and honest about his feelings & his daughter was adorable (even if she did look the same throughout the passing of the years lol) The 'Ma' family = drama drama and more drama... they were totally shameless (all except for Do Jin & Do Hyun). If you have a headache then you must have met the 'Ma' family. They deliver them in all sorts of ways... Honestly the first half of this drama was better than the second half - if it had been shorter it might have succeeded.
Rant----->*I decided to watch this drama for Han Ji Hye but honestly she disappointed me in this drama, I don't know what it was that was bothering me so much about her, but her acting just seemed to be really lacking compared to her previous drama, I don't know if if was b/c she doesn't play the "pitiful" role "weak woman" type character well or what but she was definitely off & lacking something. I kept wishing they'd fix her hair but they never did (besides the cameo hair change once in a long while) She doesn't look good with her hair parted down the center - it makes her face look so LONG. I think she needed more makeup too - at least around the eyes, lips & cheeks - she looked deathly most of the time.* *the settings were too fake & that bothered me a little too*
Music was pleasant to the ears and I have a couple songs saved to listen to again :)
I won't rewatch this -
