When I first read the plot for this I was very unsure and ignored it for a long time. However I was very pleased when I eventually watched it as it is the perfect little drama for when you want a break from all the heavy action and romance that the very popular dramas contain.
A nice simple story with just enough surprises to keep you interested and a good cast of characters mean that you are left with a nice warm feeling at the end and not emotionally drained.
If you are unsure about this drama, I would recommend that you give it a chance as although it is mainly about family there is a small romance plot and a slightly disturbed character to keep people with all tastes happy.

Top of my drama list for a reason!!!
I had neither seen the anime or read the manga, therefore had to idea what to expect when I watched this. However after just two episodes I was hooked and it fast became one of thoses shows where you just have to watch the next episode no matter how late at night (or early in the moring) it is.
The great acting, music and script make it a must watch and since buying the DVD have found it is one of those rare masterpieces that you always end-up going back to, to rewatch when there is nothing on and never get tired of it!

As a movie you would watch again and again it has very little value. However the classic story combined with cheesy sets, cast and scenes make it a good film to add to your watch list when you are feeling depressed, simply because you will either giggle either at the outrageousness of the characters or laugh out loud at the strangeness of the film as a whole.

Although very excited to watch this movie when I first saw it (as I thought the drama drags a bit) the reviews sort of made me unsure and I wavered. However don't be put of as it is well worth a watch even if you are a fan of the drama.

Although only a 7 for the story as some scenes tend to jump which can be a little confusing, lovely music and fantastic acting by Kim Ha Neul and Jang Geun Seok more than make up for it. With emotional moments and hilarious pet scenes to keep you entertained through out the entire film and into the credits as well.

As a drama it is not something I would usually think to watch and only clicked on it as it had quite a few actors in it I like. But after just the one episode I was extreamely glad that I did, the powerful and full on story draws you in from the start and the great casting makes it so that there is a character in there for everyone. The small storylines that run in every episode along side the main plot keeps things interesting and an unexpected ending that leaves you satisfied long after it is over.

As drama addicts we watch hundreds of movies/dramas and probably read thousands of synopsis but it is always finding those few special, understated productions that keep us glued to the screen ready for the next one.

This is one of those hidden gems!

A simple though deep story, coupled with a small but fantastic cast prove that you don't need mind blowing special effects or glamorous locations to produce something outstanding.

I would recommend this film to anyone and know that it will be one I will be watching again.
