The beginning was kind of annoying with the fighting and yelling but it got better. Overall, this was worth watching. Good storyline... no repetitive scenes.

I wasn't immediately impressed, but this one has really grown on me! The plot thickens, the characters become more likable, and the pace is good. I just hope Gloria can keep it up until the end!

Sometimes the summary descriptions are misleading, making it difficult to decide to click for that 1st episode to play. Fortunately, this drama didn't bore me within the first 30 minutes of watching. I found the parents annoying and couldn't form any attachment to those characters. The perma-sneer on the brother's face was distasteful to me as well. Other than those particular dislikes, I found the story totally engaging. The friendships and loves didn't feel forced as I've seen in other dramas. I enjoyed the relationships of the "house" and how much fun the actors obviously had laughing at each other and joking around. I found myself grinning and giggling. There were some tears that just wouldn't stop. These actors went through a lot to put this together for us to enjoy. On a side note Why do most of the KDramas indoor scenes look like American daytime Soap operas? It's very consistent, obvious, and sometimes distracting.

i thought the drama was good over all but found the story between the second leads more interesting. there where times when the story line dropped to me but what kept me going was to see how the story played out between the second leads.

Most of the reviews are in favor of the drama. I watched all of the episodes but I personally felt the story was stretched too far. Also I didn't think there was good chemistry between the two main leads. The dialogue appeared forced and there was no body language or facial expressions. But this could be the directors fault. The brother's relationship had more emotions and was more interesting than the main leads.

I don't know what it is about this drama but I loved it! I cannot even tell you how many times I've watched it! It never gets boring considering its a 50 episode drama! It contains one of the most romantic scenes I've ever see (end of 32, beginning of 33)! Its not like the conventional dramas; I don't even see the usual format either. But the character development is really interesting. Its one of rare dramas that you are just as interested in the secondary characters and their relationships as well as the leads! I don't want to give anything away but its really, really interesting..The brother, crazy! One of the mother's, I just want to slap her for the way she treats her daughter! Can I say these are the worst parents ever! Grandma said it best, there are wretched parents in this world!!! This is definitely not about the music but more about family and how one decision can affect some many!

Great acting and a solid script. I know it requires pacing to get through 50 episodes, but really, it was good all the way through, introducing new themes as it goes forward. The large and varied supporting cast and mini plot lines keeps it from bogging down.

I would say that this is my 5th time watching this drama. The overall story was fantastic. People say thats its unrealistic, but thats why they are called DRAMAS. Thier supposed to get you all excitied and curious to keep you watching. They are some that are, and some that arent. Deal with it or dont watch it.
