Let me start off by saying I loved the sitcom for exactly 125 episodes (I dramathoned it all when I should have been studying for exams, so that's saying something) but that last episode really made me feel as though I completely wasted the last 48 hours of my life I could have spent studying math <- which is just one of the subjects I can't stand, at all (sure would have gotten better grades if I had) but still... Let me start off by saying: The cast is amazing: I started watching this purely because of Yoon Shi Yoon and how he was breaking my heart by being the second lead in Prime Minister and I (second lead syndrom, again!) but I ended up loving all the characters, they grew on me, fast even Lee Soon Jae as the farting grandpa I was so happy seeing Kwangsoo on the show (my fave Running Man) and Hwang Jung Eum (who's been doing awesome dramas lately as well) There's also Daniel Choi who was great in Baby faced beauty (one of the best endings ever!!! completely the opposite from here) & I should totally mention GiKwang - him having a schoolboy crush on Hwang Jung Eum was hilarious, I almost didn't recognize him because he was so young (it took me a while to go- OMG! That's the guy from Me too, Flower-and from there on, oh... He's from Beast) One of the most heartbreaking moments for me was I think around ep 35 when Jung Il Woo made a guest appearance - I can honestly say I cried because of how sad his love story was - it left me feeling sad for a whole week whenever I thought of it (kind of like the ending of the Moon that embraces the sun). He will break your heart. The story: also pretty good - the actors grew (slowly , maybe) but they grew on you as you watched them do that, it was pretty good The whole two sisters from the country side moving into a household was very elaborate and I loved how Shin Se Kyung (never having been In high school - I think - started studying) and how the two brothers, especially Yoon Shi Yoon, took care of her (after 125 episodes I think I actually fangirled because of how much I was loving the show). Then. That. Happened. now why I gave this an overall of 3 (and I think that was me being gentle - this is the first time I've actually failed a drama and let me tell you there that is also saying something): There have been some bad endings. Some horrible endings, but I've never felt that it took away how amazing the drama was and at most I just passed it over because regardless I loved watching the drama. However... The ending. I can not describe properly how infuriated I was by the last 5 min of the show, it is possibly... no, it is absolutely THE worst ending to a sitcom (of all things!) I have ever seen. It got to a point where I wondered what the hell the scriptwriter was thinking when he actually did... that and how the producer could allow such a thing to happen If I leave out the tihng that absolutely tanked the show for me (since this is a no spoiler review, but trust me it is just too much and it's already getting me fired up even though it's been months- half a year- since I last saw it) there's more that made the ending horrible! The fact that the characters you've seen grow and develop, pretty much every character line is simply ignored, it's as though they went poof and nobody bothered explaining what happened to them If you watch 125 episodes, it's common decency (to me atleast) to at least do something about that, instead they went off and did that... Do I recommend it? No, absolutely not. I was so mad at them ending it like that that I actually wrote a whole blog post within 10 min of the show (after looking up online whether what I think happened actually happened). It really made me feel as though I wasted 48 hours of my life, even more so because I really loved watching the sitcom - but that ending really made me feel as though it had been a complete waste of time. If you do however end up watching it- I recommend NEVER watching the last episode - it will ruin and make those 125 episodes fade so much in the background you actually wonder why you wasted your time. Sorry for ranting but it's just so maddening that an amazing sitcom (which it truly was) was actually ruined by a simple 5 minutes at the end - I'm sure if they had done anything but that I would have given it a 9 or something because I really did love watching the show.
