Yeah, It came out neither like those old dramas, neither like the modern 50+family dramas, rather a hodgepodge of both styles, and the music doesn't really sync with the scenes for some reason, also, that type of music just doesn't go with the cinematography presented in the show.
I really didn't like it, it felt like a spike that kept pinching me whenever I tried to focus on the scenes. Sometimes it just felt painful to really keep my attention to the drama. Anyway, that's how I felt. Still, Let's see. At least I would love the story to turn out great, if not anything else. It's still early.

Hmm, so, I would have really loved it if they had actually gone for 16 episodes instead of just 12, now, quite a few elements feels rushed, compared to the first half of the season. Anyway, Overall it's been a very fun and emotional ride altogether. Let's see how the last episode unfolds.

She is a veteran in Korean dramas, have always lover her. Her performance in Empress Ki was legendary.

I don't like this doppelganger look cause it's absolutely unrealistic, family members do share many traits but it doesn't make them look the same when it comes to ancestral traits. That part has always bothered me about Asian dramas that are of non-fantasy genre and deals with realistic and serious storyline.
Anyway, that may simply be my personal take on the matter, and other people may not mind it as much as I do.
As far as the ship scene goes, it bothered me too. It felt quite unrealistic, In order to ride the ship, you have to first get on a boat, then try getting on the ship from there.
There were quite a few scenes where I felt like they could have simply done better. And for some reason, I just can't find myself attached to the characters so far. The overall vibe alongside the cinematography with unorthodox camera work and angles, it's not something I expected when I started to watch this drama. It just feels, I don't know, Weird, if I had to explain it in a word.

Okay, really not a fan of the production quality, the cinematography feels odd. It's kinda a haphazard mixture of the old dramas and the new 50 episode dramas in terms of the cinematography. The brightness, the color, the effects, everything. The frames feel quite inconsistent, maybe not in terms of actual frames, but it's done in such a way that it feels like that. The camera movement from character to character during conversations feels, again, quite weird. Although, the camera movement has improved in the 2nd episode.

Anyway, I can still give this drama a solid try if the storyline is good. So far, the acting seems very much on point, but, the story's setup with identical characters from the past put into the present is something I have difficulty taking seriously, especially in a non-fantasy drama. I mean, the Granddaughter is the exact replica of the Grandmother, yeah, don't like that for this type of drama. Problem is, even without nitpicking, so many things can be pointed out as flaws in this show, so far at least.
Anyway, it's still early, just 2 episodes out. The ML and FL are two of my most favorites. Also, the Grandmother was the mother of Kang Ha Neul's character in "When the Camelia Blooms", loved mother-son chemistry. Also, Ha Ji Won, last time I saw her was on "Chocolate" in like 2 years ago. I will try my best to watch this show in good faith as I really like these 3 people.
For now, Let's wait and see.

I feel you. Her character was the most impactful to the story, very likable and authentic soul, and the most short lived, as it turned out.

I am watching this for sure. It's storyline seems to be quite different, something we don't see in dramas generally.

Such crazy fun, I really didn't think it would be such "bit comic scenes one after one nonstop" type of drama. Really enjoying the comedy.

The Comedic Elements in this show are just on point. Really loving this.

CONGRATS, one of my Most Favorite Actor out there. God bless.

Definitely, with a few exceptions. Reality is quite a bitch, unlike happy ending dramas. Even if two contrasting people like that want to be with each other, societal prejudice is quite a force that deter them from actually doing it, that's why we almost never see that happen.

I just wanna say that the Child Actor who played the part of Child Si-On, did unbelievable acting. Whenever I saw him in a scene, he just portrayed the character in such an unbelievable fashion.

Best of luck with the new life ahead.

See, that's the difference between Dramas and Reality. Pretty Actress and Poor Non-Celeb guy trope works only in dramas, maybe with a few exceptions.

Yoon Park is a good actor, with very good looks, yet I've never seen him playing the Main Male lead in any show. Hope this becomes a successful one. Problem is, it says that it's just 4 episodes, a span that I don't like and hardly found in good dramas, except a few like "You drive me Crazy".
Anyway, at least I hope the episodes themselves are at least 1 hour or longer. I will be deeply disappointed if the episodes themselves are like just 35 min, or even less. That will be a recipe for disaster, cause, really, it's not enough time to build anything meaningful. If it's like 4 hours or more in total, they can still make something great out of it.

I was quite heartbroken when It was confirmed that she won't be in The Good Detective S2. Her and Jang Seung Jo's unorthodox chemistry and their backstory and growth together was a very important part of the show. Anyway, hope she keeps getting Main Roles a lot more in the future. God knows she deserves it.

Certainly hope so, a talented actor, and quite underrated.

Dude is good looking, good natured and really sweet, as if he is made for Kdrama. I really hope he makes a good comeback with a main role in a drama quickly. If he doesn't get main roles in good dramas, honestly, that will be waste of talent.

Uh, I actually saw the show this month. It was decent, a bit too long for my preference. Anyway, He was the main male lead, was actually pretty good, but the show was multiple character centered, which in all fairness, was also part of it's charm. This looks like a 12 episode series, so probably will focus more on Him and the FL, which is great news.

Well, I just finished it and for the most part it was a joy to watch. The characters were portrayed pretty well, although at times the conversations were kept up for too long for my liking, and there were parts where it felt like overacting, but overall it was a very good watch. Out of those 3 I think I loved Jung Eun Ji's character most, her acting was quite phenomenal. Reserved, Strong, Vulnerable, Kind, Progressive, Pragmatic all in one character portrayed beautifully. Han Sun Hwa's characters was probably the most idiosyncratic one among all of them, the things this girl says, just wow!! Lee Sun Bin's character was just a rollercoaster to watch, her character probably showed the most character development in the show, so far in season 1.
I just can't get over Choi Si Won with his quirky character portrayed here. There was an episode where he said the famous Phrase "S*x Partner" (those of you who watched it would know the context, don't wanna spoil it), I just couldn't stop my earth shattering laughter with involuntary seizure accompanying it.
