Re: Watched the 1st episode. Same ol' same ol'. Already decided this one is not for me. As soon as that little lazy girl grabbed the $30 from her aunt, then later wore her brand new heels and ruined them, I just decided I didn't want to go through another idiotic drama. Seriously, the girl does nothing. She won't help in the house. They have a farm and she refuses to help there. But she demands money from other family members? Not one for me!!
Re: Doesn`t look promising,but I`ll wait until the rivals start working in Seoul.I`ve sort of left the dailies,or maybe they have left me because of story lines and length.
Re: K-Drama: 별난 가족 (Extraordinary Family / Unusual Family / Strange Family) When I was creating this front page, I thought: OMG! Not another bad girl takes advantage of nice girl. Everything shown in the first episode was so predictable (and boring). When Good Girl was swooning over the beautiful shoes her boyfriend had given her, didn't you just know for sure that Bad Girl was going to take them? The ONLY thing that's different about this drama is that both girls are from the same farm.
I don't think "farm" is interesting enough to keep me watching this one. Unless there are some mighty big changes in this story line, I cannot take weeks upon weeks of seeing Good Girl tormented by her very spoiled and rude niece, Bad Girl.
Re: Well you just knew that, that thieving cat of a niece Samwol was going to steal that watch and then pawn it off for a pittance of its value. And how are they going to explain to us how Dani came to this family of misfits! Is she her late father's niece? Or love-child?
