Poor job done regarding the main leads

It had a good start but it stumbled and fell on its face so damn hard which is unfortunate. It seems the writer was clueless and had no clear direction on what to do with the female lead, she always went through the worst possible path which led to the worst outcome amongst the other couples. I lost interest in her story after the divorce. They had a great set up to fully utilize the entire runtime to develop her story but they did such a poor job in that regard. The other characters/pairs were tolerable while Oh Yoon Ah being the only one to stand out. Another thing was too obvious is how poor the pacing was. It was tolerable at the beginning because there was a decent comedic fillers especially with ML's father but later on there was none of that.

Hmmm...

It had a good start but it stumbled and fell on its face so damn hard which is unfortunate. Two major things stuck out. it had the worst and lamest written antagonist I thought could be possible, specifically Sung Tae and Cho Won characters. What made it even worse are the incompetent actor and actress who played the roles, both can't act at all. Luckily there weren't around for the entire run but the left a stinky trail. The other thing that stuck out was the leads "love". The drama made a big mistake not justifying why their love is so great and worth fighting for. The lack of build up, backstory, depth, chemistry and romance between them, all of which made their case worse. I remain unconvinced of their efforts.

The drama had other problems as well. It seems the writer was clueless and had no clear direction on what to do with the side cast. For example Min Soo and his wife, the writer didn't know what to do with them at all. At the beginning they were set up as the married couple that would have marriage problems but they ended up just roaming around and being silly. The same thing can be said about the rest, they're just fillers and the focus remained on the leads. This is not good in a family focused drama since the objective is to actually include the family to have a proper familial vibes.

If only.....

It's very hard to make a good sports drama and this one definitely failed in making one. Kim Bum's childish character was irritating beyond belief. He single-handedly brought the drama down. You can make him a troubled youth/teen character without making him as a literal child throwing tantrums every 2 seconds.

Garbage!!!

Awful story, characters, writing, editing, production, score, dialogue, love square, development and conclusion. The last episodes was pure cancer. Literally garbage!

Nice concept, awful execution. Its low production and low quality almost made it unwatchable. Most matchmaking cases were boring and uninteresting. The same can be said about the characters' backstory. The cast performance was lackluster, half of them can't act!

....

Even if we disregarded the ending, I wouldn't recommend the drama. Sure it had some funny moments amongst the family members and there was good chemistry roaming around but the drama had serious issues in many different aspects. Despite having a good start, the problems started surfacing within 10 episodes only! Not a good sign!

I believe the writer became possessed by an old midget goblin demon soul as she was crafting this abomination of an ending. She must've really hated her job at the time or had a big conflict with the production company/staff. I refuse to believe she was normal while writing the ending. Despite the writer being known to have these kind of unhinged tendencies, stupidity and retardness shall not be forgiven!

Worst female lead out there!

The usual makjang route without anything new or interesting that would stand out. Aside from the repetitive nature of the genre, the drama had the bad kind of revenge. On the other hand, the female lead Soo Hyun was genuinely detestable and revolting from beginning to end with no exceptions.

No

I love Yoon So Yi but this is her worst project she picked up to date, even worse than "The Color of a Woman (2011)" or "Say You Love Me (2004)". Barely serviceable story and full of generic makjang characters. Unnecessarily long for such a scuffed story. They created a massive conflict in the last 2-3 episodes and then proceeded to brush it off within half an episode despite having a very relaxed 51 episodes of nothingness. There wasn't much chemistry between the leads. Both male lead sucked. All the relationships sucked, romantic and non-romantic one. Especially with the in-laws, it was exhausting and brain numbing. By the end, I couldn't care less who would end up with who and what happens to who.

Bad...

To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I came into this expecting something similar to "Giant (2010)" but ended up getting a flashy action and a lousy over-dramatic fuss. This the type of drama were you get 20 quick flashy shaky camera edits before an action is taken. Lackluster action despite having a massive budget. It seems the number of episodes was predetermined before finalizing the story/writing, this is why we got a handful of nothingness. What do you expect from the writing department when they had internal issues midway through. Even the lead actress dropped out halfway through. Even the other female lead had a significant screen time reduction.

The drama had one of the cringest last scene epilogue out there. The awkwardness as they were sitting around the table, I could feel it piercing through my bones. Can't help but feel this was a waste of big cast. Classic Korean society normalizing rape with no consequences, even more favorable for the rapist. My expectations and interest were nullified when that happened. All the relationships sucked, romantic and non-romantic ones. By the end, I couldn't care less what happens to who. One finale remark, if they want to commit to the route they choose, then there should've been more deaths!

Low saddness...

The cast did a great job but the story was handicapped from the very beginning. No amount of effort in the writing department would save it if the basis were this fragile. The most crucial part was to show how deep their love was but they failed to establish that, not even remotely close. This led to make all the subsequent events lukewarm and impractical. They didn't even dare to show a single kiss. The drama is padded with sad scenes to make us forget that fact and be drenched in the sadness instead.
I hated the ending. There was only one possible, reasonable and appropriate ending that is for both of them to die but the writer didn't allow that.

Rest in piece Lee Eon...

Good entertaining drama with a lot of fun but, unfortunately, the middle parts were kinda weak and uninteresting. The four leads played a nice dynamic with each other. There was no nasty and vicious love square. The romance in general wasn't the focus anyway, the family takes the bigger focus. I wish it will be available in glorious squeaky clean (no-upscale) 1080p one day.

Rest in piece Lee Eon.

Watchable

The drama biggest highlight was Seo Yoon & Joon Soo story. They had such a great chemistry. Even as individual characters, their chaotic energy was entertaining to watch. Unfortunately, their story almost concluded within the first half while the second half they barely had any screen-time. Which is also unfortunate because the other stories/couples couldn't carry the drama after that. I didn't like Sang Wook & Ji Suk story and Kang Suk & Ae Da story at all, nor I liked their chemistry. However, many characters had a decent and memorable characterization which helped padding the second half.
