Trailer:



It was quite slow in the beginning but for some reason it kept my interest the whole time. This drama is at half point now and I have to admit its picking up really well (At least for me). Is anyone else watching this?

Those of you who haven't tried this, don't get fooled by the trailer. The trailer gives off a sit-com vibe but its not. This is a family type of drama with a touch of melo. And the cast is really amazing :)

I'm loving this show so far, every week it's become better and better and the last 3 or 4 weeks I've been madly in love with it.... Ohh and joonho's love for soon shin is pretty great (too bad he can't express himself at all) but his actions and expressions regarding her are killer

I'm really loving this drama so far. What's interesting for me is that I'm on episode 24 and so far there are no character whom I absolutely hate. Usually my threshold for annoyance is pretty low so this is a big deal for me.I have to admit though, I feel like I'm probably going to end up hating the ex-girlfriend. She just seems so needy.

I'm dying to see more from the baker and the eldest sister. I swear they make the cutest couple. I hope that this show can keep up with the momentum it's created so far and can continue to churn out episodes worth watching.

i been wanting to know what everyone think about this drama, and how many ppl are actually keeping up with this like me lol. i was meaning to make this awhile back but was too lazy.

Ugh I just realized IU was in this... I really loved her in Dream High! Maybe I should indeed watch this for Jo Jung Sook and IU.

During her conflict over the last few episodes I would have found some shred of pity if through it all she wasn't so single-minded, selfish and self involved. I can't seem to muster anything but disgust. But of course, that is what she is written for.

I love everything else about this drama except her...and I'm supposed to hate her. At least I am pretty sure that is what the writers are aiming for. LOL

ahaha i dont like her as well and i'm sure we arent suppose to LOL

none of the main actor/actress are considered experience actors however they in my opinion are doing a really good job. i'm loving both JJS and IU in this, especially IU unlike some actress i know she actually show alot of different faces for different emotions ._.

I am also enjoying this one a lot. I love the sisters and their partners. This drama is my first 50-episode and family drama., I hope it stays good until the end. Just watching Jo Jung Suk and Soon Shin makes me smile, they are so cute! The same with Hye Shin and Jin Wook., Wu Joo-Jin Wook scenes are so funny-always!., my favorite so far was the english speaking session. hahahha..

I've heard or read on other sites that Soon Shin is supposed to be trained as a singer, not an actress., I dunno if it will be pursued on the future or not, but I would love to. **I mean Jun Ho is a former singer! And from his past, he gave up singing because of Yeon-Ah. Yay! Another thing, the resto manager also knows something about music.,** they will make a cute love triangle, haha! I am all for Soon Shin -Jun Ho, but I also like the resto manager,.he was so nice...

Spoiler: **I hope the real father is a newly-introduced character. I also don't believe it's the foster father., it doesn't add up to the chicken ajusshi as well. (I mean, Mi Ryung and him seemed no connection at all). I don't want Jun Ho'd father to be the biological parent.., Just no.**

love watching all 3 couple, all different with their own charm :)

at first i found the mothers interesting, but they stopped being interesting aobut 7 episodes ago, now i just fast forward through them.

Same here, somehow I still enjoy the drama. Maybe because it's the first one with more than ~20 episodes, so I really want to finish my first 50 epsiodes drama, haha.
But I'm watching the 2 new episodes every Tuesday and everytime I'm anticipating more romance, especially since I read an article at allkpop about a month ago, that quoted the PD: "It's true that our beginning was slow, so it's a little disappointing, but we're going to speed it up." Yeah... still waiting for that ;__; I think it's somehow really speeding up in all the other storylines, but not the romance.

However, I'll put my hopes up for the next 2 episodes, again. At least we have some more "jealousy" now. Perhaps and hopefully that'll leed to something more...?

Ah, since it reached the halfway point now, I should be starting it soon.
