The lady Doc is a pistol. If she had been in the show from the beginning instead of Seryoeng, this might have been better

Agree, dodgerman - I finished ep 94 tonight - will try to do two a day so I finish by Monday. It does seem like Seunghye will end up back with Dojin - I'll take Yunho. Seunga and the oriental medicine doc are sort of a cute couple. What's the big deal that Daeho had an affair as a youth with Mija.....I can see that Dongsuk is very angry but it wasn't like he was unfaithful....it's sort of old news....

Because originally he was going to be Dojin's father OR Tea Lady was going to be Seunghye's mother, but they chickened out of these storylines, leading two orphans whose orphan status meant nothing, and an unmentioned dad for Dojin. Our new girl, Lee Sungshin is adopted. Who'd a thought! Too many storylines dropped. I haven't watched in a couple of days, I am not interested if they are going to be mean to coffee boy.

I just finished ep 97, when Seunghye changed her mind about going to the family meeting....doesn't look good for her and Yunho.....
Yes, poodlepal, it does seem like story lines were dropped/changed....I remember reading that some dramas were extended past their original storyline because of viewers/fans....not that this would happen with a daily...or maybe it would....
So what love happened on a rooftop? Does something happen in the last four eps?

Seunghye is not very likeable---she strung Yunho along all the time she was with pastry Boy.. She would see him, go places with him and even after he confessed his love for her and she told him she didnt love him, she still kept seeing him.she agrees to marry him even though she knows that she doesnt love him. I am up to ep 100 and there is no love on a rooftop. A lot of these shows have weird names that have little to do with the story lines

I have a problem with characters in general with men chasing after them. People usually like protagonists to be underdogs. In a case like Dojin and Eunhui before her, you have a character who is so irresistible to men that she becomes an overdog. She is not the nerdy writer in a high school movie, she is the popular cheerleader.
In a better drama, you might have a character with two love interests, but it is not the whole point of the drama (like in Samsaengi, it was really about Mr. Sa and his shenanigans, not Samsaeng and her two boyfriends). Or else it is not developed much, so it's pretty obvious who the boyfriend will ultimately be (as in Pure in Heart). These shows where a nice guy or girl strings along someone for episodes at a time don't do it for me too much.
Also, in the case of Eunhui and Seunghye, the draw seems to be that they have a pure look and dress conservatively, where as the bad girls are much sexier. However in the case of Eunhui and --spoiler alert--Seunghye--they come back at the end with a makeover so they look just as tough and hard as everyone else.
Onto the next one!

I finished this and when Seunghye comes back at the end, it thought it was her younger sis. Maybe it is a cultural thing but these passive, I am sorry girls dont do a thing for me. The whole story line of Seryeong and her father who liked Mija was just dropped. It would have been better with the Lady Doc from the start.

Well,after ten plus years of watching these dailies, I think it's time for a break.... I don't think Seunghye looked tough at the end....she just had a new hairstyle.... Yunho was a saint - even after she jilted him, he still looked out for Seunghae and got her the world tea tour....I hope he ends up with a nice woman... ;-) How did Granny know where Mija's mother was buried?
