My Thoughts: At first, I have apprehensions of watching this drama because of the number of episodes to watch - there's 50 of them and I really wouldn't want to stay that long over one series because there were lots of other series that I wanna watch. But when I finally decided to get in, I find myself totally immersed in the story and just went on and on. This was my first time to watch a Lee Sang-yoon's series and I was totally taken by him. I felt like wishing to find a man that's someone like him LOL. He was just so gorgeous, well dressed and very dignified looking!
So I've read that My daughter, Seo-young hit big time with the highest rating in 2013! I'll be surprised if they didn't! I'm glad to have seen this series. It kept me awake till the wee hours of the morning for several days. There are dramas where I skipped a lot but this one never made me drag the episodes. It got me hooked from start to finish and I can say that this is one of the best I've seen by far!
