Rule
I feel if it was a show with 12 or 14 episodes it would have been excellent show.
The acting was quite good but I found the ending not satisfying at all. I thought it was pointless after so much effort.
Well I would recomend it but it is definately not for the faint hearted as its quite deep and dark, I wish it had more romance to counter its heaviness.

I have seen Jun ki in other dramas and he had done a great job, here too he was good but not great (or maybe its his character here thats not so great)
Min Ah, I think was a better gumiho than the ghost Arang, although I liked her as a fiesty rebellous ghost in the begining, she got quite boring in the latter episodes.
The story was different but not gripping. The begining episodes were good and then as the drama progresses, the story slows down to a crawling pace making it slightly boring.
The love story is there but was quite mild and the chemistry quite lukewarm. So dont expect too much on that front. The romance of the other couple was more interesting than the leads.
The ending episodes are slightly better as the story picks up some pace and ties up all the loose ends, but sadly there is not much story there to carry it for 20 episodes.
Finally on an ending note, watch it if you are a Jun ki/Min Ah fan. They look great even if their characters are not that great, and dont expect too much, then you will be fine.

Now this is a typical family kdrama. What I liked about it was that it did not have so much of the typical cliches of kdrama love triangles, first loves etc. This mostly deals with the general life of these families. The family of SeoYoung and her brother, the family of Seoyoungs husband and the family of Sanja's wife.
the main story of SoeYoung started off really good and then it sort of got boring and later I felt I did not care for that character as she had too many insecurities and complexes which were mostly self created and gave too much pain to all the people around her.
The side stories especially the story of Seoyoung's brother was the best, I enjoyed it the most. I liked his character, the actor did a good job even though I think I saw him for the first time in drama.
His wife and Ujaeh Mom were my favs, both were pure, kind and so cute.
Verdict: I cant say I loved it, (like i loved Ojak brothers, Smile You) but it was not a bad drama. The story kept moving and there were not many irritating characters. I would say it is a mild drama, watch it in leisure but dont expect fireworks!!

This was quite a mediocre watch for me. There was hardly any story, although it had a few laughs it was not something that keeps you hooked.
Apart from that, like nearly everyone else the hairstyles and outfits of all the main actors were really wierd and distracting.
The main lead was such a cool guy in my girfriend is a gumiho, here he looks more like a girl than a guy. He had too much makeup and his clothes (especially the skinny tights type pants) were really funny, besides he was really really skinny himself, it looked horrible.
the girl with the nasal voice......ufff annoying but Ok i guess.
The blond was the best out of the lot, and if you look past the blondie, it gets better.
Finally the kiss at the end....hahahahhaha, really the worst kiss ever...the girls has a really wierd expression...I couldnt believe they okayed it.
what can i say, if you have nothing else to watch, give it a go otherwise skip it.

What I liked and made me stick with this drama was the interesting plot. The story is really good and the actors have played a wonderful role. Ji Sub is simply superb apart from the fact that he was an eye candy as well. The female lead had done a great job of potraying a naive loyal girl. The second lead does a good job too in playing an innocent childish and selfish character, who want to have everything.
What I didnt like were the many many many flashbacks...they were way too many of them and it gets annoying. The other thing was all the scenes moved so sloooowwww. if someone is walking they showed it for two minutes....and there were many scenes like that, you had to ff them to get to see what was happening.
Rewatch value for me is nil because I like to rewatch sweet happy romantic heartwarming dramas. Id rather not watch tragadies again and again, once is enough for me.

It surely gives you a lot of laughs and cheers you up. Lots of endearing romantic moments with good chemistry between the leads.
Mind you a lot of cliches too, not something you cant endure. It had melodrama at times but not long enough to make you sad.
It starts of a bit slow with hardly any story, just a lot of lighthearted stuff and hilarious moments. Then it gets a bit slow, but after ep 10 the story boosts up, and you find your self addicted to it. You start liking the leads and getting annoyed by the baddies.
Certainly its not a perfect drama, but if you feel down, just pick this one up, it will definately cheer you up, but dont expect it to be perfect, take it lightly and you will enjoy it.

It is long, sometimes slow but mostly interesting and addictive, you will want to keep watching and wanting more.
Why?
The story is interesting and enjoyable. Very adorable characters, each having their own personal story which is fun to watch yet so interactive.
The family bond is so cute with nice parents who are supportive and loving.
The Uncles and the inlays story was the least interesting, and sometimes I used to skip those parts. Sorry!
If you like family dramas, then don't miss this one
Overall: A great family show, fun enjoyable and feel good!

The story is very mediocre. No cliffhangers or thrills that want you to keep watching, just plain and simple entertainment, and all that eye candy, you don't mind watching.
The acting is also mediocre. The second lead was better than the lead and please don't make me talk about the leading lady...ufffff...pure torture. Im sorry to say that she was the most boring and unwatchable part of the show. No expression no acting and absolutely unlikable character. I am not sure it was the writing or her, I think it was both. The side love story was more entertaining with better acting. I wish they had shown more of that, rather than the main love story which was very annoying. When they try to make everyone fall in love with a character who is super boring, it is really annoying to watch.
the music was catchy and fun, although it was badly edited at times.
Overall it was not bad, but could only watch as there was no other drama to watch yet and I love a sageuk. Don't expect it to be like a sageuk (because they are really beautiful) then you will be ok.

Although a few episodes longer than the usual Kdrama format, never a dull moment.
Even though I don't like indescisive people, I found here the love triangle is handled very well.
It was a pleasant change that they took the serious elements and portrayed them in a positive and light way rather than turning a light fun watch into a melodrama.
I have to say I liked the second lead a lot, still I loved the spoilt brat of a hero, he portrays his character so well.
I have always liked this actress, and have seen nearly all her drama, here too she does a good job. The other thing is the skinship, done so naturally with someone you love.
No evil moms, no vamps creating misunderstandings, no annoying or heart burning moments.
It would have been better if all the side stories had been wrapped up well, the kids romance, the ajummas and the chef, but they were not given enough time to evolve and complete.
The main story was very well done.
overall a pleasant and enjoyable watch. Time well spent.

Im glad I did as its quite cute, with lots of romance and fuzzy moments. The cast is good and the story is quite sweet giving you the 9 end 2 vibes.
The cons, tooo long, although I really liked the main couple, their story drags a lots and boyfriends fill in the gaps which is quite annoying and boring.
I loved the end and the fact that it was not abrupt, it makes you saver their cute moments together. So I guess you could say the 1st 10 then the last 2 are the best episodes.
Verdict: if you feel like a cute fuzzy romance go for it, its worth it but be prepared for the long middle episodes.

Pretty much had everything. Suspense, excitement, comedy, romance, thrills and fights.
Although I do have to confess, it reminds me of many shows rolled into one, still I enjoyed it a lot. (Sorry to say but I am a little partial to the hero, I have liked all his dramas, as an innocent, sweet, loveable but strong character)
I liked all the character development. And welcomed that it did not have heart wrenching heart burning scenes and people. Pretty much had likeable characters, except for our good ol baddie who wasnt that hateful either.
all episodes had enough gripping power to avoid the FF button, each ending with a strong cliff hanger. ( I have decided to end an episode in the middle, as usually the ending makes you want to keep watching, and we all have to sleep and work!) I was a bit dissapointed with the rushed ending.
Overall an interesting watch, wont mind watching again sometimes.

It was kind of a cute show but not much of a story line here, the main actress's character is kind of boring, and its unlikely a guy who is supposed to be such a playboy, smart and popular to fall so badly for her, especially as shes pining for someone else.
The best couple was the Yoon with the cute MeARi. Atleast their romance was the cutest although I felt she was a bit young for him. It would have been better if they had more story about them.
The worst couple was the married one, their story was plain stupid.
Se Ra was another annoying charactor.
Overall it was a fun ride especially when they show the parts of the four friends amongst themselves in the begining of each episode. The bromance was the best here.

I agree with some reviewers the second lead story is better and more enjoyable than the leads.
sadly a very very frustrating and irritating watch.
Cannot suggest to anyone. Sorry

All the characters are likeable and had good chemistry with each other.
even the medical cases were interesting.
Teacher KIms character is very interesting, and his relationship with his students although different with each student is so nice.
The basic story revolves around him. There is little romance but its sweet.
Overall a good drama,

I loved it as it has no evil nasty ppl, the envy and jealousy are all so natural and cute.
The guy looks so cute as a girl, at first i could never imagine him being a girl and when he acts as a boy he looks just as cute as a boy too....
Try watching it when you want to feel young, careless and happy.
