The characters were lovable and cute, the acting was good overall. I was especially moved by little Ki Dong.
The movie had some really cheesy scenes I found a little overdone, but except of that the humor was really good.
It also had sad scenes, though and those were acted fantastically.
I recommend this to everyone who wants to see a light, heartwarming and cute movie once in a while. ;)

This film deals with family relationships, how they resolve their problems and their misfortune, how to hide their abnormals from the media and outsiders but most of all, it was about how to protect each other in front of many obstacles while following their dreams.
A three generations relationship with the most unusual story is what made me watch this and unexpectedly liking it.
You may want to give it a try as well.

It has comedy but also serious part. Happy moment and sad moment. Family and a little romance as well.
At first I thought it's mostly about family but it's turn out really well. I love how the story cause I think it's fun, light, and unique. But I hope it would be more touching rather than depressing..
I love the cast they play the role really well ! I can feel the emotion from the acting as well ! I think the cast deliver all the feelings really well. Great Job !
I love the music and I think it's really worth rewatch but still since I don't like to rewatch stuff so I can't give 10 XD
Overall I love this movie even it's not that perfect to me but still I like this a lot ! I really recommend this to everyone ~

The story is definitely not very original. But it works. It has some VERY funny moments, but what made it so good were the characters. The relationship between the three main characters was just so GREAT. I really liked the ending too.
The cast was part of what made the characters so good. Cha Tae Hyun is very convincing in his role, and Park Bo Young (who was also really good in A Werewolf Boy) was great. I loved her death stares. The kid, Wang Seok Hyeon was, to put it simply, delightful.
Music was a big part of the film, and the songs used in the film were pretty good. I'm not sure if Park Bo Young really sings the songs in the film, but if she does she's got an amazing voice.
It's a very funny film, and it's not very long so I'm sure I'll watch it again soon.
Overall, Scandal Makers is a very fun film, with some great characters and a really good cast. I highly recommend it.

The story is the bomb here and I would challenge anyone not to smile after seeing this ..This is an awesome family drama,showbiz comedy,teen inspirer rolled into one.
Park Bo young was so fresh and raw in this..The kid is superb ...
I have rewatched this 20 times and still love each scene.Cha Tae Hyun is superb in this and this should be his big movie not My Sassy girl ( which is more female lead centric)

Annoying male lead otherwise great
This movie is really cute, it has a lot of good lines, a pretty good message and amazing acting from a very young Park Bo Young.The kid is just adorable but the male lead was a self centered annoying #"#"¤"¤"4 that got on my nerves more than necessary for the story to be good.
But oh what an adorable kid as a lead and kids in the kindergarten, spreading sunshine and smiles on the screen...
Park Bo Young shows great range here, she is a cool, outspoken, funny and delivers everything one could ask for, considering she was only 18 when this was released that is pretty cool, talking about pretty sensitive subjects as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
All in all a decent watch, and do stay for the credits, to see a nice finishing touch... and just so you know: "Single mothers have dreams too"

Not Bad!
So nothing ground breaking here and nothing done to perfection but all in all some good cheesy fun.Park Bo Young is very good at playing a part that seems written to highlight her skills and all the rest of the cast put in good performances to back it up.
There's no real attempt to try anything different and to some extent that's a good thing, you can just relax and enjoy the fun.
The music isn't cringe worthy or memorable.
I might watch it again to fill some time but I'd be skipping past some of the scenes especially with the ex.

Cute family movie. Simple. Predictable. But not in a bad way.
8.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2008 Soith Korean comedy drama movie with a run time of 108 minutes.First I provide a unique synopsis then review
Synopsis
Nam Hyeon-soo (Cha Tae-hyun) is enjoying his 30 something life with some remaining fame from being a teen idol turned radio show host. He revels in his single bachelorhood. His talk show is enhanced by the story of a young woman named Hwang Jeong-nam (Park Bo-young) shares stories of her life as a young single mother who hopes to meet her biological father. Little does Hyeon-soo know that when he is encouraging the young mother to bravely meet her father that he’s encouraging her to meet him himself. It is all rebuild when Jeon-nam shows up at Hyeon-soo’s place with her young son, Ki-dong (Wang Seok-hyeon) in tow. Hyeon-soo at first vehemently denies she could be his daughter until Jeon-nam/Jae-in tells him her mother’s name and it turns out it was his first love and a woman he had intimate relationships with (Jae-in was originally using her deceased mother’s name but starts going by her own name). Despite her father at first discouraging her lest the scandal around her birth be revealed, Jae-in realizes her dream of becoming a singer. With public exposure, Ki-dong's father Park Sang-yoon (Im Ji-kyu) finds Jae-in. Hyeon-soo slowly realizes that he actually enjoys being a father and grandfather. Despite his early worries, when it is discovered he has a child and grandchild it does not have the career ending consequences he feared.
Review
If you’re looking for a quick watch, mostly feel good family drama, then this fits the bill. One of my favorite aspects of this is the relationship between the grandson and grandfather. There is no strong, romantic component to it. It’s good particularly if you take it within the context of the time frame it was produced. I would not seek it out to rewatch it, but I would watch it if somebody else had it on again. I recommend it for those that like any of the actors as it is enjoyable to see them acting at younger ages. It ends happy and is happy through most of the show..

I am such a fan of series. I am often to say with movies. It would’ve been better if it had been done in a series format there was so much that could’ve been into deeper. I would’ve liked to have seen more on the relationship that developed between the daughter and father, never portrayed them having a super relationship. He seem to grow to really like her, but they were never those warm fuzzy moments where they talked about how they felt about each other.
Spent a lot of the movie being frustrated with the mail lead because he was so concerned about optics. I know that’s the reality a lot of times when someone finds out they have a child they didn’t know about particularly after was verified. I was like dude you have an actual daughter and a grandson, it would’ve been best if he had found a way to bring it out to people and let them know a positive way
I also really wanted to see the daughters career takeoff even more than it did. It was like OK. You got to sing a little, but it didn’t really show her game thing or anything like that that would’ve made it even more enjoyable.
I love that there was some focus on the grandson and the grandfather‘s relationship because that was super cute. What was he probably my grandson to accept it it came out, but he never really touted it himself. That would’ve made it a level better.

I always been a huge fan of Park Bo Young so watching one of her earlier works from over a decade ago made me respect her even more. The story was unique for Korea.. Young Single unmarried mom who also have a child at young age while unmarried trying to connect with her father who doesnt even know of her existence. The tension flares and hearts get broken but in the end they become a happy family and you can feel the chemistry between them as the young grandpa learn whats important in life. The songs and singing were very engaging and i look forward to see more of her work as she mature. And must add the little kids was just adorable lol. You should really watch if u want a good family movie. Was this review helpful to you?
