tofu I am in 2nd episode. I came here to curse in middle of the episode. Good that I didn't do it. Episode ended beautifully with showing a couple love should be

Angel Zhou Yaaay It's fun to watch because it's so trivial!! and provide you many dad-jokes hahaha I find it funny in my age (I'm 23 y.o) XD XD

Sooo nice for a refreshing binge-watch. Anyway after Once Again (2020) and this Eccentric Daughter-in-Law, I think I will look forward dramas like this again. Those stories about family and married couples that are trivial and warm hahaha

btw that Kim Bo Yeon ommoni always plays a mother-in-law that is obsessed with her son! Is that her acting specialty? Hhahaha in Once Again (2020) she also is very obsessed with her 2 sons that her daughter-in-law asks for divorce....

And To My Surprise, Dasom Is That Great As A Main Actresssss. Furthermore she plays with a very experienced actor Ryu Soo Young. Woww Dasom you go girl!!!!

Michele Minick OMG Martha, your favorite? I just finished it, and it's one of the lamest K Dramas I've ever watched. I'm grateful it wasn't a long drama. The only good thing was it starred Ko Du-Shim as the mother.

Michele Just started watching this. Koreans sure love fart jokes. Very juvenile.

martha this is my favourite drama. love it more than boys over flowers!!

Eastender I have watched a lot of Kdramas and the CEO's mom is the worst, most immature mother-in-law I have seen. Other than the mother-in-law I am enjoying the show very much. It is lighthearted and funny. Also, Ryo Soo-Young sure is cute.

Kdrama Very cute drama. Great chemistry with the leads and cast all around were good too! Recommend if you're looking for sweet rom-com!

aqeela i enjoy this drama recomended for someone who looking funny drama without complicated story

durz I think the film is quite good, despite (to some people) looking like a cheap drama. I don't really know what is a cheap drama, but i think the acting in this drama is good enough and the plot is also good enough. it's better than having an unanswered plot-holes, to me.

Veineilhng It's really exciting to watch....... M happy about this drama the really acts cute ... Hahaha and her husband toooo.....lov u all Buuuuuttttt o just downloaded his movie summer time ........all my hopes goes down into the pit

saldagasaldaga I just finished watching this - and it's really good! :D I didn't actually have super high expectations when I started it, but it looked really fun and sweet in the trailer. And it was. Honestly!(: I'd definitely recommend seeing this; it's fun, cute and sweet. There is drama too (ofc. it's a kdrama after all!), but it's good too. I'm totally in love with the main couple; they have some sweet moments, and I feel like they were really good together (:

Fullheart5 This is the third time I have tried to write this and the website keeps having a problem, so I am cutting this short and sweet. I made it to episode 9, barely. And.....................I will stick it out to the end, but it is the last time I am going to watch a satire. Never, never, never. I only started because I like "Rohee's" daddy, Ki Tae-Young, but.......................I think I should find something else he is in.

A FAN This drama was refreshing. Different from another dramas. I got to be honest I decide to watch this drama just because of dasom. I new she was idol so I wanted to see if she she is a good actress. WELL damn girl. She is awesome actress. Her character was funny warm hearts. It was nice seeing everyone grow. The men in this drama were useless and so damn anooying exept math perverts (I love that name). But I gotta say the ending kinda was dissapointing. I was expecting a wow ending because because the beginning was pretty awesome and funny amd Different. But overall it was entertaining and funny. Ps. I notice thsi drama was full of tall men. The brother Dong Seok I really need to know him asap

senioryeargotmelike I decided to watch this drama after watching the latest eps of Oh My Venus (watch this drama its good XD) But the point is OMG so much dislike on the CEO's mom urghhh what took her so long to realize how selfish she was?! But then she raised a kid by herself so her reason was somewhat understable but really it was too much she was still Young-A's mother-in-law after all...LOL but it was sad that this drama only had 12 eps :( Wanted it to be 16-20 episodes like other dramas :( The ending wasn't that satisfying, Myoeng Seok should've knelt down and asked In-Young to marry him or something more cheesy and cringe-worthy. :/ XD Overall, it was a really cute drama about a perspective on family life because theres no place like home and there is no bigger and true support other than your family. ❤ I cried, laughed and smiled alot throughout this drama :)

Anna Sucks Pretending youre a good and awesome judge of a bunch of Koreanovela.. Hah! Youre the only one hating on this Drama. So? How about us who loves this Drama? Were suck also because you said that this drama is not good?? Ive been watching Kdrama for almost 8 years.. And this drama is one of a kind, its not a cliche kdrama that a rich guy and a poor girl will fall in love with each other. A good knovela will give you a MORAL LESSON and a sweet vibes, and this drama is an example of that.. Tsk i guess Anna is just looking for a sweet kdrama and thats all. Youre the one who suck.

Hello @glasstera go youtube search for pocari sweat (beverage), it is a 31s commercial song

Shasha it's been 2 weeks i'm waiting for next episodes through online. Can't find any after #11. Can anyone tell me is there any delays for the drama to be played? I learnt that the drama is great since I watched the thriller

Elsa You were right about this drama. I am so stupid coz almost missed a great show thank you for recommanding me virtual bride sistar and dasom rocks. My love for this drama is endless ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ don't bother with trolls i used to be one i'm ashamed to admit it but it's never late to acknowledge it sorry for my wrong idea about virtual bride dasom sistar fighting become huge fan of both.

ito btw, again guys, this drama is amazing if you're so in love with SISTAR like me^^ I would protect them and terror other haters even though they never actually do something for an international fans like me:' and if you're new to dramas, you'll never realize this drama flaws at all. so pleaaaaaseeee, watch my lovely Dasom's new drama:)

ito Elsa ??....??? Anna is that you hahaha dasom acts good and she was praised for her role. Please who are you to say this drama doesn't deserve a page in asianwiki!!! Some do care about this drama and loves it its fine if you don't none tells you to watch it.

Elsa sorry for the bad grammar btw

Elsa I hated sistar. they all look so fake. I'm fine with the member personally, but only soyou that i favored. Dasom act sucks btw here. so sad to see Anna to be the only one critized. i don't think ppl care to much about this drama to open it on asianwiki or commented it.

ito @anna hahaha wrong again!!!! Coz no no no...not a sistar fan here.... you still feel the need to put down this drama with your crappy comments ○●~●○well keep trying harder hater bcoz no matter how much you want to spread hate for virtual bride you will never make your cheer up lol lol drama look better. With that being said you call this drama cheap with bad script and ratings!!!!! i'm going to laugh next week you will eat your words you will look more stupid once your typical boring school childish drama gets drawn out with bleh acting and low fiasco ratings...

Anna

  • actually *always

Anna i bet all the commentators here are a fan of sistar.. why? coz this drama is so not good. the drama itself actualluy look cheap. like a low budget kind of drama. the script was also written pretty bad. i don't know, but I alsways follow new drama like yongpal, twenty again, she was pretty, oh my ghost, mask, hello monster, and this............................ is not as good as those. maybe if this drama air in 2012 or 2013, i would love it.

glasstera anyone know what the song that playing in the drama? the lyric contain sha la la la....

Lenny I thought the drama was really good. Not great, but close to it. The beginning half of the drama is entertaining and funny. Towards the end though it became so sloppy, your average K-Drama plot-line where the mother of the main guy highly disapproves of the girl. There's a lot of annoying characters in this drama that REALLY get on your nerves. Overall I feel like if this wasn't a mini-series with just 12 episodes and maybe 14 or 16 everything wouldn't feel rushed. This drama is about family and no matter how much you don't get along, the many problems you have - that they are always going to be there and love you 100% at the end of the day. I can't say this is one of my favorite dramas or put on most liked list of 2015 but it IS a perfect follow up to 'Oh My Ghost' (My favorite drama of the year, still having withdrawals) if you want some more laughs.

Go Seuna Whoa , from the begginning of the story I loved the ' JY Parts ' or Junsu and Yeonga part in the drama . But everyone seems to liked the annoying couple that is Inyeong and Myeongseok . Until now , I still loved their ( Junsu / Yeonga ) parts . Well , the parts were short but I liked it cause it looked liked a real life . If Junsu and Yeonga were happy family , I thought might be bored soon but it doesnt mean I want to watch their broken family either . As I know , their part were like a real couple but was separated by a mother .

About Myeongseok and Inyeong... I dont think so but I need to say then . Their parts were boring and so so so annoying ever ! I dont want to blame the director either them too . Jinjja ? Why does people loved it ? The more I hated was if they were making a sad face and I hated much if Myeongseok opened his glasses and there was his face . So please dont tease me if I blame you.

Now I hope the story will become more beautiful soon and will have their good family not happy ! Gomawo ~

bb I love ryu sooyoung & dasom...she so cuteee.....so funny dasom, ryu soo young I love u mmmuuuaaahhhh......

Nocturnalux I started so I will probably finish watching this but I find myself as annoyed as entertained. The main mother-in-law is so horrible that it surprises me how the daughter-in-law, who she treats horribly, has not poisoned the witch. It gets nothing short of spiteful when she decides that the daughter-in-law should not hold a job. Granted, I am sure many women are fine being housewives but if you studied hard to get a qualification to work outside the house then pressuring you to do housework (and extreme loads of it, too!) so that you won't be able to carry out a career is just dreadful.

As for Kang and his mother, the whole thing is plain disgusting and not even remotely amusing. Someone call Freud.

Ame I looked forward to this show each week. I really hate to see it end.

firenze I am having a nice time watching this drama. It's kind of irritating sometimes when the wicked mother-in-law (Jang Mi-Hee) gets into the story and the husband Kang Joon-Soo takes for granted his wife. Although the writer might think it's necessary to spice the story and high light the martyrdom of Cha Young-A. But what really rock is Ryu Soo-Young - he is so HOT !!!

iia fahria ahhh...btw watched this drama,make me feel like delusion about in young and prof cha,dunno why but they are so cute together..can I shipper about this couple,i know this is just drama,but look like real..kkkkkk \(^,^)/

iia fahria really like this drama,dasom so cute,the best comedy romantic drama in this year <3 <3

Plsherratt i haven't laughed so hard at a show in a really long time! Very sad that shows like this are cut short....I mean I could even go to 20 or 50 with this family!!! And then some that are so bad are getting better ratings? What the what?!!! The only other show that is this good right now is Twenty Aagain

Freshchille estores It's good drama! It's so sad to know that its already end.. :( i hope they will extend to episode 16.. !

Dez This is very good drama... But its too bad its only 12 episodes!!!! :( Doesn't matter if the rating is not good.. I enjoying watching and waiting. ^*^


I give 5 over 5 stars!!!!!

Clara im really enjoy watching this drama... too bad its only have 12 episodes :(

i dont know why the rating is not too good but for me this drama is so funny,refreshing and yet its also have good storyline which make me curious what will happen next. i cant stop watching right since the 1st episode. of course I love the main couple, they are so cute.... and also the mother Jang mi hee, she will annoyed you but in funny way :)) i think all the cast have done a great job !!

Mary ❤️❤️❤️❤️ This movie ❤️❤️❤️ So cute

Byul this drama is so good yet being so underated... i pity ppl who failed to enjoy it tho uhuu btw i ship inyoung and professor cha a lot theyre so cute together..

liana what a cute drama <3 high ratings doesn't necessarily reflect a shows quality

Keis I agree with ito. The drama is good, except Kang family which is too much for mother and son relationship. I love the act of Dasom, she can express and play her role very well. I don't think negative comments to end this drama is worth to read.

ito @anna pay attention to your words!!!!!! no need to insult a drama just to make yours look good go to cheer up page and cheer for your childish bias there!! This drama is good if you don't like it none is telling you to watch it so i suggest you to keep your negative words for yourself!! Who are you to insult actors and call them cheap!!!!!!????

Dev dasom act was not bad, but not good enough to be the main lead actor. what a waste of time. I'm hope this drama ends quickly, waiting so bad for cheer up. i miss eunji in action>.<

Konan Actually I like this drama and i waited it every week.. i dont really care about couple but i like to see how every characters react each other (also with their mother in law) and the comedy.. LOL I dislike ha ji -_- ugh, why writter-nim didn't explain how she felt in love beside make her terrible woman first.. And because of this drama i saw dasom clearly.. before, i just saw hyolin and bora.. xD

Anna PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE end quickly! I want to watch cheer up very soon. this is one cheap drama. from the setting, the dialog, the cinematography, everything... even the actors! CHEABAL just end already, it's not even ranked as the top 20 weekly!

SeoHee I don't want this drama to end just yet really.. It is a really great drama but i can't help feeling excited 4 eunji's upcoming drama Cheer Up! Ahh this is killing me like crazy.. I just love both idols.. They are so good at acting:)

Aya Have just watched episode 9 and my heart ached at the scene of In Young telling Myung Suk to let go of her hand ;A; Why you do this to us, scriptwriter-nim? ;A; @umbrass: She is the family's adopted daughter, I guess. I hate her, ugh.

umbrass I wonder what is Ha Ji relationship with this family... She does looks like Gong Hyojin

Anyway enjoying this drama too

acil i hate ceo Kang he always follow his mother spoil act and always take his mother side when the action of his mother is wrong. i hate that kind of son, people thing that ceo kang is dutiful son ...... and the story is best accept the ceo kang and his mother

Kiyomi I dibt want this series to end...

Tuty NR denotes not ranked within the Top 20 daily shows according to TNS Media Korea and AGB Nielson....but i still love this drama. simple & fun.

viola i love this couple, simple and sweet drama, i recommend this drama!!!

kdramalover Hahaha love the couple so much fun!!!! Good drama. A must watch!!!!

ouni The drama is the best.....dasom is so pretty.........

Lalala "NR denotes not ranked within the Top 20 daily shows according to TNS Media Korea and AGB Nielson"....but in my heart this drama always the first and the best ......yuhuuuuuu

Lalala I hope sistar eonni to be cameo in this drama.....espescially our sexiest eonni :::: hyolynnnnn eonni .....hehehe

Lalala This drama really good....so funny and fresh...luv it

Shiral After personal taste i think this drama can be considered as one of the Best Comedy drama i have ever watched,I am surprised with the ratings but i think it will be better in the future... :)

Camille W Although i really like this drama, i understand the ratings. It isn't flashy, overly dramatic nor necessarily different. But the domestic audience are missing a really entertaining show! This show goes into the list of underrated dramas in 2015 (and there were quite a few).

Camille W This show is quite good. It uses all the predictable and cliche tropes but they work. It's an entertaining watch if you can get over the in-laws.

Gayathri Chandrasiri Super drama... i enjoyed well. .. good luck with sisters. Professor cha is great too

nilu I liked the first episode the concept is refreshing too bad floreina...you are missing one of the funniest drama everr, the drama is good it gets better with new episodes plus the leads have great chemistry i like it a lot.

floreina I just saw the first ep! It wasn't so good, I liked just the end. It's a bit OK but I don't think it worth to wach it!

Will it be good in the future? Can someone tell me...

Diana Carballar love the mother in law

sann this drama soooo FUNNY awesomeee keep it guysss love dasomm very much Good job guys

Looove This show is so funny, I really like it. Oh In Young and professor is so cute together. Dasom is so cute and the story is smooth :)

Ishu This is the best korean comedy drama ever. Dasom's acting is very cute. so I LOVE THIS DRAMA VERY MUCH.

                  SO FUNNY!!!!!

From;Sri Lanka

marcel Nice Korean drama. Every episode is such a funny moment. This is the best Korean comedy drama in 2015. :)

Liyasha Can't wait for the next episode... Luv this drama..

kang i like this drama , but i don't like the role Cha Young-A mother in-law, why she like that and pretend she always right in front of her son. i wish her mother in law change a better way..hohoho

Chica I'm kinda not surprised to see low ratings. The concept is good but so many of the characters are horrible. The mother-in-laws are downright evil to their sweet daughter-in-laws for what seems like no reason. And, these girls are married to spineless men. That one guy is always criticizing his wife and he's always dressed in pajamas!!!! Does he even work? I'll continue to watch it cause I really hope karma gets those mother-in-laws.

Lockheart WTH with the rating! Can't understand though! But I really like this drama. It is cute, funny and refreshing. I like the concept and it is apart from the trend that most of K-drama follow.

bubbles cant wait for the next episode

Bonny Seen Dasom here remembrring me about Yoon Eun Hye when she's played in My Fair Lady.

Susan Omg, I fell in love with drama it's super cute and funny. This drama deserve better rating...

Spotlezz When the movie started i did not put special intrest in it but later when they repeat the movie i then started watching and saw hw funy and interesting it is... i love love the movie so much

Malak this drama is funny , do not care about its low rating

it deserves watching when you want to laugh ^_^

nilu I don't care about ratings they don't reflect the quality of the drama!!!

love this drama the concept is refreshing, dasom is fun i ship our cute funny OTP also Ost at the end of episode is super duper awesome

Jieun wtf with the ratings? ok i don't care tbh, entertaining drama, funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ally Love this drama so refreshing cute funny, I cant help to comment as I really enjoy watching it.....

marcel Nice drama.so funny.I love how they act.looks very natural.your ratings will become no. 1. This shows really move your heart..

ch jnr kwak hee sung...he looked like jeejong while he acted as bodyguard in hyde jekyll and me..cant racognise him..omg..and i like Ryu Soo-Young

Miro Ryu Soo-Youn again as the main male character? No wonder that the drama is so low Raiting ...

cool Too bad the ratings are low :( this drama is so fun the couple are very romantic hope it picks up because i love this mini drama very much.

tree anyone feels that kim yun seo looks a little like jin se yeon?

Gaayesna This drama is sooo funny and romantic .love this drama.hope this drama was aired every day.best of luck for this drama.

Jc dasom is really funny ..i thought she didn't know how to act but she's doing good in this drama ..good drama ..fun to watch .i just don't like the mother in laws character ..the mama's boy ..

dong Mean selfish self-centered controlling n scheming mother-in-laws plus weak mama's boy husbands urghhhhh

nilu Such a funny light drama. Dasom is hilarious i like her and the nerd!! they are amazingly cute together, love how unconsciously they're falling for each other ♥

denyse yet another drama with horrible mother-in-laws. these korean women are like bane of all that is good and holy.

DRR The funniest drama I've seen in years!! I'm loving it the characters are really good!! Totally recommended!

Jieunnah watching till ep 2, the virtual bride is funny, i like it

neea it's only ep 1 & 2 now, are most Korean mother-in-laws that mean and horrible? such witches

itsm3 First episode seems fun to watch .. hope it picks up good till the end. Excited to see both of them again back together from Melody of Love girl Dasom of Sistah, and Kwak Hee Sung ... good luck ... FIGHTING!

Pia So excited for this drama.. Saw the drama's trailer and i think it'll be a really great drama:) Can't wait for this Monday

melon I think that Ryu Soo-Young is the scripted husband. And Ki Tae-Young is a son of Ko Du-Shim/ I hope it will be as funny as i think.

Parkji Will be watching this drama solely for Ryu Soo Young :) This guy is amazingly talented. Glad that he is getting the male lead!

All the best for the drama! Hwaiting!

Chang Dasom Daebak, she's certainly one of the bringers of the light.

Ja-9 I know Dasom is an adult now but isn't having her play a 37 year old's wife.

비밀 In-Young (Dasom) is a former idol. She belonged to a popular 4 member girl group, could it be SISTAR?

Angel Zhou uwaaaah Dasom Unnie!! Happy that a drama is made solely with her as the background <3 <3 Please bring your sistars as cameo for some episodes, I reaaallllyyy want to see Hyorin Unnie's acting! XD

Hwaiting!! You can nail the drama ;) <3

Firdaus I hope it'll be a very good drama.. I love Dasom in Melody Of Love & SHE CAN ACT OK.. She may have a lot more to learn but at least she's not like some idol actors who obviously lacking in many ways in term of acting.. Idk about the male lead but i'll just watch it just for my dasom hihi

Nox Really don't understand why they cast an idol who can't act.

byulbit I love that Dasom pic tbh lol

Corrector @aznative: 36 years age difference? You must be kidding, right? Otherwise, you must be very bad at math. Actualy it's just 13 years age difference.

aznative Wow, there's a 36 year difference in age between Ryu Soo-young and Dasom. Maybe he will be cast as the father-in-law?
