They wrapped it up nicely. Not the best but it was entertaining.

SPOILERS...

The last 2 episodes, I cried on some scenes. Specially those where Cha In Ha appeared (WARNING: Might be too sensitive so proceed with caution). Basically, he had a hard time coming out and committed suicide. His father was with him in the hospital and he's such a cool father when he said that he hopes the guy that Won Seok will introduce to him is more talkative than his son. And finally the alps photo was explained. Then the scene in Won Jae's work where the college guy handed him the photo and ripped it apart. Won Jae's words hit it hard. He said that he takes it as a sign that Won Seok wont attempt to take his life again because someone is thankful that he is living his life well. That scene...is just so sad. I wish Cha In Ha in real life was the one who found a purpose and reason to live. RIP.

What you said about Cha In Ha is beautiful. I wish the same.

I did not connect the character to the actor. I thought it was the dick college kid.

Now his relative absence from the last few episodes makes senses.

The poor man.

So it's been 6 years I haven't watched a kdrama and 8 years I haven't finished one. This one was cool and funny even if I agree it's not the best.
There were so many characters! Like, the counselor and Baek Jang Mi were not really necessary but I loved all of them. As someone said in the begining, the scenes at home were the best and the link between the siblings was great.

I loved Kun Oppa! His character was deeper than the appearance. I just wish the end was more explicit with his love story. Do you guys know a drama with a cool and rich girl and a gold digger? I was so fond of them that I want to watch more. Noona was so fierce!
2nd oppa was so wonderful as well but I felt so bad for Cha In ha every time we saw him. I'm happy they showed his scenes. I loved how he was proud of who he was and how he protected Ho Dol. I didn't expect a lovestory though.
The maknae was quite funny as well and brought some nice moments.
Kyung Min of course and even Park Hyun Soo was charming.

The main couple was boring at times but I like them a lot at the end. It was nice to not have a stupid 2nd female lead. I skipped the parts with the doctor though because there was not even a second when Joo Seo Yeon was interested in him so it was useless.
Well, it was a nice and entertaining drama with a lot of pretty boys.

You're right. The interaction at home between the sibs were heartwarming and lovely to watch.

For such a light-hearted drama, it sure did touch a lot of dark/heavy themes. It wasn't perfect but I loved a lot of parts of this drama. I loved the 2nd lead's approach, even though he had no shot, I loved that the Chaebol family is a bunch of bumbling fools save for a sharp daughter, I loved the way they portrayed homosexuality and even had a character's coming out-ish (actually, that part sucked but the aftermath was interesting). Cha Inha was my favourite in the drama, maybe because his role didn't have much slapsticky parts, his whole bit with Ho-Dol was effing adorable. Okay no, I lied. Cha Inha and Kim Seulgi are my favourites. I love Kim Seulgi. I want her in my pocket. She was SO cute in this drama.

Kim Seulgi is love! One of the reasons I stayed and watch til the end. Best BFF!
