After a 2 year absence, KBS has resurrected their TV Novels! Two differences I noted: TV Novels used to air on KBS1, now it is on KBS2. Episodes were only about 25min in length; it is now about 35min, and airs at a slightly later time than before. Mvibo.com lists the drama as only to be 58 episodes

I was wondering if anyone is able to confirm whether Bok Nam is Bok Hee's half-brother or step-brother. By the name I would have thought they are half-siblings and not step-siblings. Furthermore, after Bok Hee's parents divorced, she actually lived with her father. As pointed by the synopsis provided by AsiaMediaWiki, her father passed away. Her step-mom, I believe, has an affair with a married man and ran off with him, leaving Bok Hee and Bok Nam to themselves.

Bok Nam is indeed Bok Hee's half brother. Bok Hee's mother left because her husband was having an affair with Bok Nam's mom (the lady that ran off with the money) and got pregnant with Bok Nam.

Thank you for clarifying, christina. Oh, if you happen to watch EP 9, what was that all about in the house yard b/w Bok Hee, Geum Joo and Eun Joo? Did Bok Hee say something that offended the 2 sisters

And also, thank you semi-fly for the torrent files!

I think her very existence offends the sisters.

But in episode 9, they asked her when she was going to leave and she told them that she wasn't leaving. She said that she was going to stay. They asked her who said she could stay and Bokhee replied that the grandmother had okayed it.

I like very much this drama ! Anyway who is the main male lead ? Joon Mo or Yong Pyo ? Can't wait to see the love story between the Bok Hee and the male lead.

Just finished watching EP 14 live through able.kbs.co.kr. The preview for EP 15 shows Joon Mo running into Bok Hee at the school. Either next week or the week after we'll likely be moving into Bok Hee's adulthood? I'm actually quite enjoying the young adult stage though, so will definitely miss it when the story moves on.
