The kiddo is so smart (and so cute), I expect that he proposed at the end of ep 6 that they use their straws for a DNA test :)

I am wondering how the kiddo actor knows all his lines? For a small actor like that, he says soooo many long lines... his role is very complex and demanding

Omg so the loser GR was doing laundry for the entire house... still!!!! and only HandsomeTwin sometimes ran the washer... Wowwwww GR the loser!!!! Dad in the house, GR acting as the big mom taking care of a bunch of kids... Wow GR the loser...

so ... I was even more (pleasantly) surprised when she cut off the Fox in ep 6. Yay go GR! Suddenly I turned into a fan of this drama. FL has enough spine to make it INTERESTING. I am seated and watching! Yay!

Omg the charmer dad in hot pursuit of a new woman, for such a long time... finally found her lmao where I least expected lol He managed to catch an iceberg - a land mine waiting to go off... How many years did she work hard and never had a man??? She is a goner already

It is hilarious ... and tragic. He is a trash man-child swindler. He is hot looking sexy middle aged charmer so he WILL catch her... and then... ? will that iceberg nazi general have what it takes to whip him into shape... ?

Oh is mid-ep 6 how GO decided he can be a gigolo... ??

QUESTION TO ALL WHO KNOW KOREAN CULTURE WELL: why did the gold-digger bio mom say that she could not take GR bc she is eldest daughter and could not take GO bc he is the only son. In mid of ep 6, scene with the Fox

I am sure she was talking about when she was just kicked out and not remarried yet, so what was the issue here?

Why do you think a 50-ep drama is him being denoted? Is the money so much less??

He really is a good actor so kudos for KBS to bring in someone skilled and SAVE their weekender reputation

Well said!!! 100% agree

here the romance is driven by more-good-than-bad girl HaRi. The ML is still a gangster. Until he willingly decides to give it up... there will be no progress. His romantic feelings for HR are all swept under the rug

100% agree he is an amazing actor, so expressive. I have never seen him before and am adding him to my fav actors list. Will check those 2 dramas you guys recommended

well how else could you have this many characters, relationships, families, side stories, and the DEPTH of so many relationships over such a long time?

THIS IS DEEP AND DETAILED, not some gloss over in a few quick episodes. If you want to watch how ppl really live and solve problems, the only way is many episodes

Oh yeah you are right that is entirely possible with that kind of a woman
Well she will be back even if she *is* their bio mom, as soon as the PrettyBoyTwin becomes famous :) or the family or Dad get any money

he has a loser mother :) I dislike GR as she is too much of a "standard" weekender FL, very stupid

I finally caught up with this drama, so...

OMG, KBS seems determined to produce better and better weekenders! I am so glad!
This drama started well... very makjangy... but has quickly progressed into a very decent drama. FL is still quite stupid and backwards... the dad still lives in her house!!!!!! we all said we are dropping if she brings him... ? Bc of that I waited to accumulate enough episodes to see if the drama will become a trashy soap or NOT. Luckily the drama panned out into a very decent drama.

FL is unfortunately still a rather backwards loser character... luckily less than before... and the actress is ok, nothing special in terms of acting skillZ and her role too is too flat, too one-dimensional ... as is typical. All KBS weekend dramas FLs are very stupid and flat.
ML and the kid are really fun. The kiddo is amazing :) The other characters are interesting too, The gigolo guy, the younger siblings and the Fox.... they are all very complex characters, very good scripts!!!! and the actors are very good actors. The Fox is very interesting!!!!! She is smart and immediately figures things out and is usually correct - but rude :) Well the gigolo is interesting too but is a lot less mature or smart... and ModelTwin is a rather complex character too... we will see more of him when his bio mom shows up when he starts making money and fame :)
The bio-mom and her husband are such a nice family... on the surface lol Mom is a professional gold digger wow.... and such a CRUEL person... wow... $10K for the life of her daughter... Not even asking once about any of the kids... At least her husband is a nice person
and ML's friend is fun, and the one-sided crush chick is pathetically unreal.
The dad is ... clearly makjang but the actor makes it real. Ppl like that are out there in real life, for real...
Ah the side dish shop owner and her son are amazing too. I ship him with the Fox. He is THE ONLY suitable guy for the Fox. The roles are complex and the actors are great.

I really like the acting of ML actor, he is so expressive and really makes ML look like a real person...
The actor imo is clearly some kind of a ... player or businessman or something in real life... ? I dont know the person but he looks and acts as someone who is used wheeling and dealing and finds this plot a little ... childish :) and it comes out in his acting...
But he is a great actor, so expressive. I really enjoy watching him.

Overall, this drama is really promising, this could be the next classic! Let's keep our fingers crossed. Recipe for Love started well and then was ruined by being stuck for most episodes in the SAME stupidly boring issue, instead of spending episodes to show HOW it was resolved. Well ok you can say the issue was so deep that it took them so long to resolve it... But no, so many episodes were wasted on NOT resolving it at all... Ok whatever - the drama did not use its time well and spent too much time on the issue instead of resolving it and moving on. It seemed like the writer just ran out of ideas. Everything got MAGICALLY resolved in the last episode or two... wich is a very lazy script copout. It just did not feel real at all.

So I hope this drama KEEPS THE PACE until the end. It is going well for now! Fighting!

I love MLsFriend actor, I saw him in My Father is Strange where I did not like his role :) but later I saw him in other dramas where he acted more fun characters, and also imo he acts better and better in time. At this point, I would say, with this drama, he has become one of my fav actors. His acting skills are very good and he makes this drama quite alive and dynamic

And as for the lady in the drama - ML's friend clearly likes her - but she is sooooo pathetic, it is cringe to watch her. I really hope she grows up soon enough, bc she is like nails on chalkboard on the screen, her behavior is so cringe.
and ML is soooo rotten to keep letting her. He is too much of a diva and used to this satellite

Oh someone in another drama said that this drama has a ROMANCE TAG. THAT IS A SCAM! there is no romance here!!!

The Husband was so sterile empty, there wasnt even a relationship between husband and wife, he was her eununch bodyguard and she was the client he protected. THere was NO FEELINGS whatsoever. Well I am exaggerating... there was like 2 minutes in all 12 episodes, only 2 short scenes where she cares for him while he has a cement face, and 3 seconds in the very last episode where they barely smile at each other. THAT DRAMA WAS A ROMANTIC DISASTER
Even when they meet again they are like two strangers accidentally bumping into each other at a subway stop. That entire drama showed such isolated people, it was icy cold and frustrating to watch

THE HUSBAND, IE THE ML, BEHAVED AS A PSYCHOPATIC DICKHEAD

Oooh that was the problem... ? that's all he does?

He acted like a psychopathic dickhead in this drama
NEVER as a loving husband

This drama is super romantic.

Yes ppl forget there is s.x, eros and love

They forget, eros is sexy :) and love is just pure warmth and shine and thus also conveys very strong romantic feelings by CONNECTION, or "belonging" or "loyalty"
