Bok-soo (actress Kim Hye-sun) put her husband through medical school by earning a living as a fish seller but her husband does not feel grateful about it and looks down on her instead. She learns that her brother, who is married to her best friend Hwa-shin (actress Oh Hyun-gyung), is having an affair with another woman but she tries to cover it up. When she learns that her husband, Ki-jeok (actor Oh Dae-gyu) is having an affair with a former girlfriend, she finally empathizes with her friend’s plight. Her mother, who had to endure an unhappy marriage due to a cheating husband, joins Bok-soo’s and Hwa-shin’s plan to get revenge on their unfaithful husbands.

puhahah i had a good laugh with the character names. LOL> anyone from 'Seven Princess'..?

the same author. gotta give it to writer Nam.. she has the funniest character names..

Han Bok-Su [한복수] = 1 revenge

Han Won-su [한원수] = 1 grudge

Han Seon-su [한선수] = 1 player

Hyeon-shil [현실] = reality and Choi Hyeon-Shil [최현실] = very realistic

Gi-Jeok [기적] = miracle but Lee Gi-Jeok [이기적] = selfish

just to name a few. lol.. but man there's so much adultery going on in this drama..

but still i smell a HIT DRAMA>.. this is gonna do well.

and look! Deok-Chil and Chicken Man from 'seven princess' are playing siblings heh..

and Deok-Chil and Kim Hae-Sook are playing mother daughter again. so many of the same cast.

Yay there is a thread! I was wondering if i was the only one looking forward to this drama. It seemed like kdramas were leaning towards "government" or historical genres and had forgotten that some of us enjoy comedy too.

Dramaok i agree with you it seemed like there is going to be some good adultery fun in this one, if am correct the script will probably somewhat resemble the original American movie which is one of my classics.

Has anyone who understands Korean actually seen it, what do you guys think so far?

ahhahahah the names!! so funny!~ thanks for the trans dramaok!!

i think the chil sis writer is definitely in this!!

the cast similar too!

i wished i could see this subbed.

looks like fun!

oh wait the character in golden era is named lee bok-su.. does that have a double meaning too?

thanks for the info Dramaok! funny names, this is definitely writer Nam's drama...and seeing some of the cast from Chil Sisters as well...it's good to see a comedy or feel good drama with all the historical dramas around ^ ^ and good job for starting the thread huangsy!

I've been looking for a new drama to watch, and came across this one last week. Although I didn't think much of it at first, it's actually pretty good! But yeah, I agree - there's just way too much adultery going on.

dramaok - thnx for the background info! I didn't realize it was by the same person who did "Chil(Seven) Princesses" - actually thought it was just a fluke at first, with all of those funny names - but now it all makes sense. Although... isn't the patriarch's name 한심한 (Han Shim Han = pitiful; miserable; a disappointment)? I remember seeing that name next to their door outside their home (on that little plaque/name-plate thing).

Does anyone know how many episodes this is scheduled to be?

Does anyone know how many episodes this is scheduled to be?

50 episodes.

I wanna watch this because Yoo Hana from "My Lucky Star" is in it. I absolutely love this girl. She play Choi Hyun Sil. How her character in here? Where can i get more info about this drama?

HAHA I LOVE THIS DRAMA!

so random and hilarious but touching too!

Can anyone gives a short synopsis of what the drama is mainly about?

Watched episode 1, sorry to say didn't enjoy it. It seems every man on the show cheated on the wife, or their marriage falling apart. Too boring a subject.

god! the more i come to hate han won soo and lee gi juk, the more im drawn into this drama.

I'm liking this drama a lot but I'm kind of surprised that there isn't a lot of updates on it in here

i fell in love with this drama too...man...byun jung min's character....i could knock her out yo

i've been watching this drama with my mom and it's so sad i felt so bad for BS because she never thought her husband would cheat on her i wanted to punch na mi but now she wants to g back to herreal husband and her husband might die. I haven't watched the next episode yet to see what's gonna happen to the husband.

i want to smack ji wan and won soo they're so annoying i feel so bad for hwa jin. i can't believe won soo hit her like that.

it's a good drama as you keep watching it i didn't think it was when my mom first told me about it but it's gotten better

how many episodes are slated?

I'd check this out, but I can't find the episodes anywhere. Plus it seems no one is subbing it. I believe there are 50 episodes.

Does anyone know where I can download this raw?
