This is a special type of drama, simply called a weekend drama. It airs only on weekends and is aimed at the older/family audiences. It's the equivalent of a soap opera or telenovela. The production quality won't be as good as the usual weekday/web dramas, and the pacing is usually slower and easy to follow. You'll see seasoned/veteran actors slightly exaggerate their acting or tone down on the intimacy because this is a different genre that is supposed to be very family-friendly/traditional.
There are two kinds of weekend dramas - melodramatic revenge(makjang) dramas and family dramas. This one falls under the "family" category.

LMAO IKR?!! I find myself swooning over absolutely nothing! I really might not be able to handle it if they kiss! Hyun Woo says he "tones down on the kissing in weekend dramas so older audiences don't feel uncomfortable" but I have a sneaky suspicion I won't be able to handle the toned-down version either!

Unlike you, the SR-DB couple is just getting boring and repetitive for me :(

Never Twice - it's about an inn-owner who treats the people who come to board as her own children. They're one big family. I liked almost all the arcs and it was a heartwarming, lovely drama. Bonus: KWAK DONG YEON(Moonlight Drawn By Clouds) as a CEO who falls in love with a young single mom. His interactions with the cute little baby made my heart explode 😍

There's also Five Enough, but I haven't watched it yet. The reviews are really good for that one.

so is it a happy ending? the two stay alive till the end?

It's ridiculous, it's a little funny, slapstick comedy. There are worse ways to waste time.

oh I always say that a fangirl never ages^^ I'm friends with a lot of amazing fangirls who have crossed their 60s and 70s!
I'm still in my teens, but I love this drama. It's so comfortable, light and relaxing... reminds me of the old-timey heartwarming kdramas 🥰

LOL I had the same reaction!

also, I love how DD is so real. She never pretends, like that two-faced witch, SR.

this is only a theory, but I find myself enjoying more dramas produced in even years (2016, 2018, 2020). The lineup for 2022 looks pretty interesting, with all my favorite older actors (Lee Joon Gi, So Ji Sub, Yoo Seung Ho, etc.).
However, I do agree... kdramas somehow just aren't the same these days. This drama still has some of what drew me to Kdramaland in the first place.

It comes every week so I'm hoping it's worth the time I'm investing into it. Till now, the story is quite fluffy, light, adorable and fun. It's perfect to keck back, relax, and enjoy. This is a weekend drama, so it comes with its flaws. The ahjummas are rather annoying, and if you haven't watched a weekend drama before, the production quality will seem weird to you sometimes. Take everything with a pinch of salt. It's the Korean equivalent of a soap opera/telenovela. The main couple and the children are SO adorable, they make me forget all the drama's flaws.

Agh, I really thought this was going to be a romantic comedy. I cried my eyes out. Such a beautiful movie. The main actors really acted the heck out of their roles. What a plot twist!

because it's an ADVERTISEMENT for Lotte Duty Free.

i can't waittttttttt... if this is what stopped D.O from appearing at SMTOWN Wonderland, IT BETTER BE GOOD.

I understand Korean age. But in this case, in relation to OP's post, 1 or 2 years makes no difference. You might as well just use whichever age system you want. I used only the age given in the drama to simplify things, since my main point was that ML won't remember even his first meeting with FL.

exactly! When I try to explain the story to someone, it feels flat and stupid... I can't really describe why or what makes this show soooooo addictive!

They mentioned that FL is 27, so he should be 41.
So when he was 22, she was 8, but they met when she was 13. So that means he has no memory of her.

In every drama, there is this one scene that just stands out to me. In this one, I LOVED the scene where ML(the CEO) lets FL cry and show her grief. The way he just stops the car, takes the baby out of her hands, tells her the car is sound-proof, shuts the door and walks away... I honestly thought it was one of the most heart-melting scenes ever. I wanted to cry, too.

Just finished the drama and I AGREE. I hated hated HATED that arc so much... I initially liked Woo Jae, but I lost all respect for him and eventually started disliking him, too because of his stupid relationship with that spoilt idiot. Even the two witchlike daughters-in-law ended up paying for their wrongs and repenting and trying to change. I actually warmed up to the second daughter-in-law!

But Hae Ri? nooooooo she just continues being the same stupid rich spoilt whining jerk of a woman from start to end and Woo Jae just tolerates her the whole time! if it wasn't for Yeol Mu and Kwak Dong Yeon's absolute heartwarmingly ADORABLE wholesomeness, I really would have gone insane

I'm Not A Robot still stands as one of my favorite dramas ever so I'm waiting for this one with high expectations!
P.S: Was "Friday" inspired by Ironman? 😂

I just can’t stop a biiig smile from spreading across my face every time I see ML and FL together…. YOUNGDAN/Danguk supremacy!!!!
And I really lost it over that confession >< whyyyyy do they make it SO HARD to wait for new episodes?!!!!!
