1) The reason I watched this: I watched this drama because of my grandmother, I saw her watching the third episode and I became quickly invested in its events so I catched up and continued watching the drama with her. I have to point that my grandmother has a great taste (^_^) 2) Storyline/Plot: Generally speaking , this is a family drama wrapped up with romance and comedy which is an acceptable combination for most of viewers. Positive points: *This drama is one of those dramas that made me interested with only one episode, I felt good vibes ever since it started because the plot was set up in a good way. *Main Genres: --->Family: This drama is different from other family dramas because the plot was well written in order to make viewers deeply attracted, even the problems weren't the type that was written in order to fill the drama's time; it was well calculated to make everything about the family sound natural and important. The family element was appreciated so much within me and I am not even into family dramas. --->Humor: It was intense at the beginning but later on it didn't remain the same, not that it completely faded away but laughter moments weren't that present, let's say it was "humble". Epidode three and four were the funniest episodes in here. The comedy was accepted overall, It would've been more appreciated if it was much intense like it was at the beginning but anyway, it deserves a spot in the positive points column. Negative points: --->Romance: I had a lot of thoughts before mentioning it in the negative points column; it had its positives and its negatives yet I think that the negatives were "bigger". The romance wasn't satisfying, it wasn't light and "badly expressed" which made it one of the few bad point in this drama since it didn't feel enough. However, it wasn't completely Off, at least, it wasn't disappointing. Story: 8.5/10 3) Acting/Cast: *Choi Jung Won: I don't know this actress and even if i do, I don't believe that her previous roles were that remarkable since I dont remember any of them. Here, she portrayed her role in a good acceptable way. The character was interesting ever since the drama started, it's not an unusual or a special character though but the character's developement was captivating although it may get a little annoying at some points. Pal Gang was really clumsy and indifferent at the beginning then she changed in a good way. *Kim Ji Hoon: I'm not very familiar with him as an actor, all the memories that I have about him aren't that bad nor that great. Here, he wasn't any different, I felt that Choi Jung Won lead the drama yet I can't ignore his presence wich was somehow "nice" to watch. The character in one word "stiff", all what I can think about that it was really exagerated sometimes but that's how the storyline wanted it to be. There were mements were lawyer Won seemed "appealing" and "enjoyable" especially when he is with Pa Rang , I won't judge the character harshly because like I said earlier, it's drawned by the storyline. *The five Children: I have no idea about them as actors so I am not going to talk about that side, let's just mention that their acting convinced me and their roles were the best. Their characters were awesome, each and everyone of them was enjoyable; all the pranks, the attitudes and their thoughts were simply wonderful to see. The main reason that kept me interested until the last minute was the children's presence, if it wasn't for them, i think it would be another usual boring korean drama. The children were my favorite characters in this drama. *I really loved the second lead male at the beginning then his character development didn't seem right. *Appreciated character: Tae Kyun Was the funniest character in the drama, he wasn't that funny but his presence has always lightened the drama and made it enjoyable, I appreciated his presence a lot. *The second lead female had the usual boring personality that most of Korean second lead females has; that was always boring for me. *Other cast: No hard feelings for the remaining of the cast, I can't say that I liked them or disliked them , they weren't "that bad". *Relationships: --->Romance: It's really hard to talk about chemistry in this drama since the romance wasn't that "intense", even when the romance became serious, I don't think that the chemistry was that present or that deep. --->Family: The children's relationship with their big sister was really cool, even though some troubles may occure, I don't believe that it got any worse. The family relationships were warm and good to watch. --->The triangle: The usual triangle that you see in most of Korean dramas. Well, Tae Kyun added a good taste but beside that it was annoying. Cast: 7.5/10 Acting: 8.5/10 4) The ending: The ending was predictable but it was fun to watch. I liked the final scene ; It was a good closure. The ending: 7.5/10 5) My impression (How did it affect me): *I enjoyed this drama so much although I am not into this type of dramas, I don't believe I was bored because I never lost interest. *The main reason that made me attracted to this drama from the beginning till the end was the children's presence, I don't think I would've liked it if they were absent. *Is this drama memorable: Yes it is, most of the memories that would remain in my mind are the children's memories because beside that it was a normal usual Korean drama. My impression: 8.5/10 6) Overall: *If you like romatic comedies with family theme in it then you would like this. *If you like great children that would bring you entertainment then watch this. *If you're looking for a "romantic" drama, I wouldn't recommend this. Overall: 8.5/10.
