No, she's not his mom. ML's mom was the late father's first wife. In ep 3 or 4, the housekeeper/cook tells FL that the mistress isn't the real mother of ML and that's why she didn't care when he married his first wife who wasn't from an influential family.

exactly. I was calculating that, too. ML's wife died at 37, and it's been 2 years since she died. So if she was living, she'd be 39. The drama says Dan Dan is in her 20s. ML is in his 40s. The age gap between her and ML is 14 years.

So Park Dan Dan can't be less than 27 years old. If she is 27, her 39-year-old mom would have given birth to her when she was 12 years old 😂

ikr I was going to drop it if both that house manager and Guk Hee kept pursuing him. I wish she had done the confession while he wasn't drunk and when it wasn't his wife's death anniversary, but still. Props to her for being brave about it.

Is this ever going to air 😭😭😭😭

I don't know about a love triangle but there's no doubt about romance... every single photo seems to scream "MELODRAMATIC ROMANCE!" to me 😅

the plot is so Sound of Music and the kids are real brats, so I'm getting the same vibes. other than the absolutely annoying moms, it's a pretty good show

dramacool subbed
it's on Viki but not in my region so I don't know the subbing status
KBS World YT channel - it'll premiere with subs on the 5th. I think the episodes will arrive one week later than when they're aired on TV.

Episode 20 ML pretends he's drunk... so he kissed her on purpose??!!! Goodness what a jerk

yeah

I don't really think it deserves 7.8... more like an 8.2 or 8.3
It's very very cutesy. Forgetting some extremely stupid moments, the rest of the drama is pure fluff. It has some great moments I'd definitely re-watch. It's one of those dramas that have to be enjoyed with your brain completely off. I had a great time.

I have the hugest crush on this guy he's so talented and handsome!!

I love the marriage genre, so I've watched other dramas like 18 Again, Flower of Evil, Familiar Wife, Go Back Couple, and Emergency Couple. In my opinion, 18 Again and Tomorrow With You were the best in terms of character development and resolving problems. All these dramas made me think, but FoE and Tomorrow With You had added sizzling chemistry.

I feel like they're really highlighting what happens when people get married too fast without really loving or getting to know each other. I usually detest lack of communication, but over here, I feel it's justified. Both want to look good for the other, he wants to protect her but doesn't really love her at first(and that's why he doesn't understand wHY he should tell her stuff), he's stubborn and knows she'll stop him if he tells her... I feel these are all very realistic problems faced by two people who get married too fast.

I love the way they resolve their problems, though. That's what kept me stuck to this one.

wait so the leads don't remain alive in Always??!!

Every minute of the drama I watch, I keep wishing and hoping and PLEADING for Seub and LukPat to end up together. They have WAY more chemistry and ML just crossed every line in the history of Dramaland.

"That" scene is the one everyone is talking about and calling it "grooming" or "pedophilia." It's a scene where the young ML(who is 14 years older than FL) meets the child FL while she's trying to run away from home. I saw no problems with the scene, except that it was kinda unnecessary to add a childhood fate plotline. There were zero romantic hints and the only people who think it's "grooming" are the ones with dirty minds.

From the two episodes I watched:
Ups:
- I like the ML. Right now, the only reason I want to watch is for the ML. He's a good actor, too.
- I like the plot's general direction. I can't wait for her to straighten out the kids. The first two are brats. The third is a cute little guy.
- FL is... nice. Slightly delusional, but nice. FL's dad is an angel.

Downs:
- ML lives in a big house with a housekeeper, his mom, his kids, and a house manager. The house manager is actively pursuing him. The house manager's mom is also trying to set her up with him, but they aren't working together. He has a best friend who is a woman, and the woman's mom is hell bent on setting them up(think Strong Woman DBS' mom). I hate such moms, they literally don't care at all about their daughters... would any sane mother try to force her daughter to get a rich man drunk and sleep with him so he has to marry her?!
His mom is a narcissistic idiot. So right now, it feels like he's surrounded by a swarm of rich, idiotic women with only one goal in mind. IDK how he's sane.

- Remember Do Bong Soon's brother? He's a lazy idiot in this one. He seems to be naive, but he goes to a club, gets drunk, and has a one-night stand with the ML's sister. Suddenly, they both are in love the next morning. He wants to work to earn his living, but the sister convinces him not to because she's rich 🙄

- The oldest daughter is ANNOYING. I would never let my child mouth off like that, whether or not she has a mother. But I guess writers are trying to show how bad the kids are before FL comes and changes everything. Like Sound of Music... those kids were terrible at first, too.

It's good, from a family weekend drama perspective. Don't expect it to be like a mainstream kdrama :)

Just finished Ep 1. I think ML is the only character I like so far, he seems the most normal. Why are so many women and their moms swarming around him, though? I can't keep track of all the people after him 😳 And two of the kids are brats. I wonder when things start taking a turn for good.

more than "that scene" y'all are talking about, I hate the way these moms push their daughters to "cross the line"... do you not care about them at all??!
also, the drunk sleeping together scene... absolutely no freaking out, suddenly two strangers are in love... wth is going on?!

EXACTLY! There was absolutely nothing wrong with that scene!
