Very cute---the best scene was in the airport. I liked that they covered the O & R in Korean Air on the signs---like no one could figure that one out

The long-haired guy was in Scarlet Ryeo - he definitely looked familiar to me but ten years older is a difference.....the other two main actors I don't know.... The older generation actors are all familiar...the man who was painting chairs outside is Ahn SukHwan....in everything... ;-) asianwiki.com/Ahn_Suk-Hwan_(1959)

Ep. 4--how many times have we seen Girl # 1 breaks boy's heart to get married, go the The States, play tennis, follow a career etc. Boy gets better and meets Girl # 2. As soon as Girl #1 comes back on the scene, Boy runs to her every time she gets hurt, drunk, hit by a car etc. --- leaving # 2 in an amusement park, movies, restaurant, park etc.

This drama was one of the ones that started the genre. This one has birth secrets, love triangles, inheritance issues, disapproving in-laws, etc....I think they got the timing and suspense right in this one.

You left out rich family, poor family....that seems to be very common in kdramas as well. I think there are a couple of older ones that I've seen - First Love (1996) which was the last 'weekend' drama that we saw on WMBC before it stopped showing dramas and Autumn in My Heart (2000) which also are in the early years of kdrama..... Supposedly First Love was the highest rated drama (by episode) of all times. Here's an interesting blog article from 6 years ago: blue1004.wordpress.com/2010/12/08/highest-rated-dramas-of-all-time/Then again, how many dramas were on at the same time back in the late 1990's. ;-)

I remember First Love---Two brothers, one is an artist and falls for the rich girl. Her father's henchmen beat him up and leave him lame. The younger brother works in a casino and becomes a lawyer. The girl, Hokey Pokey goes to France with the older boy who tutors her.

episode 6---I know he is her father but every time she bails him out it just enables his bad behavior. She has to just let him rot in jail for a while and maybe he would straighten out

I don't know about his previous misdeeds but in the part they showed the other employee kicked the guy's car and then both dad and he started running....the car owner fell - to me that wasn't dad's fault at all. But obviously the Korean justice system is different - so many times we have seen people detained/arrested until there is a cash settlement....

Meant to add that I really like the music of this - looked online and don't see any reference to the musicians/composers - might look further when I have time. It reminds me of the Eternal Love quartet music somewhat....

"Never Say Goodbye" by Mario and Nesty is the main song. The orchestra rift is really cool.
