I also finished ep 1 - yes, I agree - pretty peculiar but I did laugh a couple of times - at the younger boy being a smart a-- and when the HK turned the hose on the neighbor....will watch ep 2 tomorrow....

The temp agency manager is also pretty funny. At first I didn't quite recognize her, but it is Kim HaeSook who has been in almost every drama I have seen....lol....actually the first one I saw - Bizarre Bunch.... The Housekeeper, Choi JiWoo, was in First Love - the sister of the architect guy who liked HyoKung - and in one of the Four Seasons, Winter Sonata.... Saw ep 2 last night - I'm okay with it so far....

She shows some really good range in her acting to play a role like this. A bit of a difference from playing the standard mother/mother in law character.
This is more of a "dark" drama. It has some funny bits but the theme is a little more serious. It's a remake of a Japanese drama called "I'm Mita, Your Housekeeper".

Right, madman999, I didn't even recognize her at first - after seeing her in numerous dramas....I think she was the only actor who was in all four of the famous Four Season - Endless Love dramas.....Jeong DongHwan was only in three of them.... asianwiki.com/Jeong_Dong-Hwan

Watched the 3rd and 4th eps this weekend....I like this - it's different......good acting imo.....each character stands out - particularly the younger son. Sad about him being bullied but after the HK told him to work out his problem for himself - about cheating on the test - he did figure it out....same for the younger girl when she told the HK to 'kidnap' her. At the end older son got the note about HK being a murderer.....

This suspicious housekeeper is like a "bad Mary Poppins"!
Or maybe the "terminator" housekeeper.

yes, that's what dodgerman said earlier....don't know about the murderer issue but she seems to have some kind moments breaking through the strange lack of emotion....I wonder how she kept such a straight face....she was certainly different in the other dramas I've seen with her...

It is interesting. When the older girl was going to be kissed by her school mate, there was another boy who interrupted them. He looked like on of the crown princes in one of the historicals that we saw.

asianwiki.com/Park_Ji-BinNot sure if he is this actor or not.....he was next to the other kid in the cast listing....anyway he was in Iron Empress... But that kid definitely looked familiar to me as well - might not be the one I linked though...

So I watched eps 5 and 6 - this is strange but different and I like it. All the people are pretty much very sad and unhappy except the housekeeper agency head who is pretty nutty and strange herself.
And as I have said before there are quite a few humorous moments in each episode to cut the tragic and sad ones.
We know that the HK had a son who died. And what's up with the man that is following her....
