This is the longest drama I have ever watched. I have a short attention span so that can tell you a lot about the quality and delivery of this 133 episode drama. The longest, I've ever seen was a 21 episodes. This drama, from start to finish, was gold. Sure it had its boring moments or ridiculous moments. Or, what-the-heck-now moments. But really, the relationships, the romance, it was fantastic. The drama knows how to space its angst. I really like that we don't have to wait forever for some resolution. The drama didn't draw out the crisis for longer than necessary. They introduce many interesting side plots and secrets and I liked being able to jump on board those and get curious about the answers to those problems. Jun Su's character. How can a person be so beautiful? I think on any other actor he would have been too goody-shoes for me. But the personality is so sincere and good-hearted. I was convinced that he was actually like that. Jun Su is such a sweetheart. He and his father are such a pair. They are both gentle, obliging and doing anything to please. Jun Su constantly works to prove his value and his new family becomes his sole goal in life. “You did not come into this family as a housewife.” Even the slightest acceptance makes him happy. He is very considerate of others. I like that he's a bit of an old man in a young boy's body the way he tells off his elders. He is very responsible. His purpose in life is to provide for his family so no matter what he's doing, if he's in pursuit of that, he's happy. There's the confidence the viewers have in Jun Su that he's going to be just fine because he's resourceful and works hard. I haven't wanted to cry for a drama for a long time. By episode 4...waaah. When they made the switch to adulthood, I thought my heart would burst with the feels. Jun Su is just like his childhood self. Generous and innocent and unassuming until you mess with his family. If you think Jun Su as a kid is adorable, he's even more cuter when he's old. How is that even possible? Oh the adorbs! It is really amazing how the drama comes up with a million different ways that Jun Su demonstrates how obsessed he is with his family. He is so old-fashioned the way his whole life is his family. Jun Su is the epitome of the Korean concept of sincerity. “Feels like he is from the country yet it also feels like he knows the city.” That is Jun Su. He is naive but he has a strong sense of justice and he's really smart so he doesn't get tricked into any kind of deception. The wonderful thing about Jun Su is he really knows what he wants to do with his life. He doesn't make mistakes and has no regrets for any of his decisions. I think one of my favourite sides to Jun Su was his salesman side. He's an impressive guy. He has the most perfect face when he's hurt but trying to hide it. I was quite amazed at how the siblings aggression towards Jun Su switched from anger to him to anger at themselves from the guilt of what they've done to him. It was strange how they accepted that their mother was his mother even as they maintained the lack of blood between them. Ahjussi was pretty boring but he had one great line. “Did this guy's personality just change so suddenly? He fails an exam and he suddenly turns into Marlon Brando.” Romance “I only have to look into your eyes and I am filled with confidence.” What a lovely way to describe it. Romance at its best. No matter how you see it, Im Jo Hwan is a beautiful man. I liked that the pair weren't childhood sweethearts. He has no wiles. It's charming to see Jun Su who is just the most simple and straightforward man you could ask for fall in love with a woman so twisted up in knots. Do Hui isn't simple and kind like Jun Su. She's much more real. But to Jun Su, she is a fairytale. It was sweet to see how gentle she could be with Jun Su. I was surprised to see that when they do start dating, Jun Su is more comfortable with her and so he starts speaking his mind about some things. So it's funny that he is kinder to her when they're not dating. But I loved seeing the delight on Do Hui's face when she laid eyes on Jun Su. Cheol Su I thought it was an interesting decision to have this sort of personality next to Jun Su. Cheol Su is a puppy. Adorable in a very shallow and immature way. Weird to think he is older than Hyeon Seok. When Jin Ju kicks this little puppy, he suddenly becomes a man. Do Hui “What game?” “Feels like you are seeing all the ways I can reject you.” She's a tough character but in the face of Jun Su's chivalrous naivete it's so great to see her get a bit melty. And because of his tight-lipped nature about his past she gets super curious. I like that even though she wasn't originally a bitch she became just that much softer from knowing Jun Su. Jin Ju “I am someone who doesn't deserve a dream.” Jun Su's new sister is very prickly and Jun Su does anything to keep her as non-aggressive as possible. While it made me sad to see him treated that way, his eagerness and diplomacy in maintaining the relationship makes me feel appeased. Jin Ju is the bad guy for a while. She really is the only problem in the beginning of the drama. As the drama continues, we get to know more of her thoughts and I liked understanding her better. I felt sorry for her. That she has lived such a sucky life but she is to blame. She just regrets her actions all the time. She is the opposite of Jun Su in every way, huh? Jin Ju is really hard on herself. The drama did such a good job of making her into a person. It's really interesting to see how bitterly she carries her burden of the family and how she herself struggles to keep them together. She is angry so often that it can be surprising when she shares her heart. And she really proves how much she loves Na Ri in an incredible way. I thought it was hilarious that they gave her such a quirky love interest. Ju Yeong This girl has the most beautiful expressive face. I like her diverse sides. She's loyal to her mother, really cute and often nice, even though she is immature. There were some moments that I was only watching the drama just for her. She is amazing actress with a lot of range and I found her compelling to watch. Hyeon Seok “My oppa, even on a deserted island with three people, criminals and a woman. He would only know to chase the criminals.” Despite his sister's words, Hyeon Seok knows how to kiss. Oh yes! I liked that Hyeon Seuk had to find his own identity apart from his sister and he had to know what he stood for. He becomes a very serious young man who doesn't like games. But he loves Na Ri still which is awesome. And how great was it when Jun Su came back around that he started coming out of his shell. I really like how Hyeon Seok can relax around Jun Su and really joke with him and share that special connection with his hyung. It's so amazing how the serious and immovable Hyeon Seok will listen to Jun Su. Because Jun Su is so non-judgmental. Always supporting. I love how he lets Hyeon Seok find himself and how he pays attention to what Hyeon Seok is really saying. Hyeon Seok says about Jun Su - “My brother is the one person in the world that I envy the most.” Na Ri Gong. Na. Ri. The biggest feels. “Big oppa, although by saying these words, small oppa will be jealous. Big oppa, to me, you are my mother, my father and you are my soul.” Boom. Redeemed. Jun Su gave his life for that girl. Her chemistry with her oppa was amazing. I did not have a lot of feeling for her but when they recapped her history with Jun Su, my heart broke all over again. I loved that she didn't want to let him down.
