Yeah, totally correct. This is what the domestic audience wants and expects for a 'family drama' and KBS, being state-sponsored, will comply.

I wasn't expecting (but should have been) Dr. Han's cynical reaction to SeRi's concern regarding her health. What did she expect her to do? Break out in tears? Sheesh. No wonder her two kids suffered under her control-freak tendencies.

I loved how he initially told her he wanted to hear the baby's heartbeat....not letting on right away that he KNEW she was scamming him. Very clever writing!

Glad the phony-pregnancy arc was quickly crushed. But when Dong Suk said she would raise the baby, it REALLY threw me for a loop. WOW. Great writing!

This actress has been in more dramas than I can count - SuJi & YuRi; Bravo My Life; Iron Family off the top of my head. She, like the Uncle character is a KBS veteran and you know they'll always give a steady performance when called on.

Agreed on the hospital call scene, as I had the same situation here in the States when the pre-op nurse called to give me instructions for my operation 2 days prior - my sister answered the phone and the caller just identified her as being from the Hospital and told her to have me call her back at this number.

I guess rules may be different in So Korea?

ML younger sister. played by Yoon Seo Ah.

A huge shout-out to the actress playing EunBin. She was amazing in Ep 29.

Yup.

Well, at this point....what are the odds that Hyun Bin/Eun Bin's birth mother returns as well? Along with her daughter (giving EunBin yet another half-sister).

He had a great role in The Real Has Come as well. He always plays male characters with a challenge really well.

I'm really amazed she's gotten so much character development in the last few episodes. Good for the writers.

I watched this as a PMY fan, and I'm not sure what to make of this series. It was hard to follow exactly what was going on for the first few episodes and I didn't like the style of editing. Once I finally figured out her life, it was OK I guess, the last couple of episodes were good. But this was not as enjoyable as "Her Private Life" for instance.

So it's official: Kim Chang Wan IS the runaway Grandfather! I need to go back to Ep1 and rewatch the scene with his cameo to when he was confronted by the Grandmother.

(note: he appears in the 28 min mark of Ep 1. and appears to not recognize the Grandmother when she accosts him).

Frankly, both sets of parents are just terrible.

I really don't get the casting of Kim Seung Soo as the FL father. I appreciate that he wants to expand his roles from the serious characters he's played in Historical Dramas. And he did that well in 3 Bold Siblings. But the character of Gong JuAhn is so clueless and goofy (those lapses of sudden laughter really bug me) that I feel he's a terrible fit for that role. I think Lee Myung Ho (who played the VP in For Eagle Bros) would have been a better fit. Oh well, just my opinion.

She is so funny, a welcome departure from the character she played in SuJi & YuRi. The whole office side of the drama really clicks.

I couldn't agree more: Ep 24 was kind of all over the place, and still confirms my belief that this is actually an office rom-com grafted onto a family drama. Because as scattered as the family drama side was, the whole office scenario and cast was terrific and has been consistently from Ep 1.
And yeah, cancer story arc before the half-way point? Really????

I think we saw her in the series around the time they were thinking of moving as one of the pharmacy's customers. I remember the actress as she was terrific in "Korea-Khitan War" as the long-suffering wife of Kang Gam-Chan.

Well, this is interesting. Kim Chang Wan is credited as the missing Grandpa (Dr. Gong). He appeared in what seemed to be an uncredited cameo back at the beginning of Ep. 1. This would be quite the add to the cast!

Agreed. This was just so dumb. We saw it coming from miles away.

Now the FL's mom will grab onto this like a starving dog with a T-Bone steak and not let go.

And a shoutout to the production team for 2 little things: The use of Latin-American music in the background as the Leads & stand-in boyfriend drove to her parents house (that was REALLY funny). And the most poignant moment in the series to-date: When the ML tells his stepmom "I'm becoming more and more disappointed in you".....that really cut her to the quick. She deserved it, but even I cringed when he said it in such a sincere tone...OUCH
