what’s it about
Meet Kwon Obok:
She’s a young aspiring graphic designer/illustrator who finds herself without money or home when her father runs off and disappears with the deposit for their rental. Taking fate’s cruel turn as an impetus to charge after her dreams, she heads to Seoul and meets a crazy guy named Jang MinGuk on the first day there under extreme circumstances; MinGuk is played by cutie Lee HyunJin:
Through him and through some cosmic buffoonery, Obok gets more deeply entangled in the affairs of the Jang family, including MinGuk’s older brother Jang DaeHan (the brothers both very patriotic in their names as together Daehan Minguk means the Republic of Korea):
Yes, the story follows lovable Kim SoEun as Kwon Obok, but really she’s the bridge to the real purpose of this show, which is a family affair and that central family is the Jang household. The windy and overly long drama follows the love lives and career trials of all the Jang siblings—Minguk, DaeHan and sister ManSe—
—and all the other players in the show are merely planets that gravitate around one of these attractive suns.
commitment
A lifetime, or that’s what it felt like anyway. Translated into tv-metric-speak, that roughly amounts to about 173 episodes, or something like that…

KBS
wildcard factor
How much patience do you have? Do you enjoy endless miles of open fields instead of the dramatic ups and downs of mountain ranges? If so, this may be just the type of flat-footed and non-turbulent and loooong road trip for you.
first impressions
An airy daily drama with a lovable young cast lead by Kim SoEun, Lee HyunJin (MinGuk) and Jin YiHan (DaeHan), the men being rather tall glasses of handsome. I was especially a fan of Lee HyunJin who had such a convincing air of lovable troublemaker about him. The quintessential puppy that chews on your slippers then looks at you with big innocent eyes, pleading, “Did I do something wrong?” He was that type of frustrating adorable. In fact, the entire cast appeared to be casually likable in the most inoffensive way. I found everyone charming and couldn’t wait to see how all the couples would fall into place. What’s the downside? I saw the potential for this drama to drag a little. Dare I worry, even become a tad boring. I don’t know if there’s enough material available or enough conflict in this kind of a story to hold my attention for so many episodes…if possible, could this show end up being too harmless? We shall see…
