I have always wanted to watch a drama with Uee inside since i've heard she acted very well. Really wanted to watch a romantic drama and found the synopsis on viki which made it sound appealing. I am putting this on my list to watch.

Has anyone watched it yet? Like or dislike?

ep 5

the old woman. She knew the company were illegally using a boat trawl yet she accuses others of being a gangster. Wicked witch. even worse she doesn't follow with her deal. after getting the evidence she breaks her promise and doesn't free the father. I'm glad her company is going bankrupt. unscrupulous businessmen don't have trust in society. backstabbing. How can the old woman call that backstabbing, she was the one who broke her deal first.

ep 11 how can that soninlaw be so selfish. the only thing Han Joo asked of him was to take care of his kids and in return he will take all the blame. However that soninlaw just decided to abandon  all the kids. Truly heartless. That's why people would never be placed in prison. Once they are in prison they don't have power to negotiate anymore.

ep 16 I feel the drama went downhill after they became adults. It was cute watching the kids but when they were grownups I just feel there were too much complications and nothing interesting going on.

ep 19 I am so bored out of my mind. almost want to quit this drama right now.

At the age of 12, Qin Qing, who grew up in a wealthy family, learned that she and another girl, Mi Li, who'd been brought up by a poor family, had actually been switched at birth. Their lives are then turned upside down when both families agree to switch the girls back to their rightful identities. Qin Qing and her former "brother" Qin Lang had always been very close. Even after 10 years of separation, neither was able to forget the other, and Qin Lang returns to find Qin Qing

Notes:

After watching a couple dramas with him (Let watch Meteor Shower,  The Queen of SOP, and recently Boss and Me) I don't feel that he is exceptionally good especially his stoic face from Boss and Me but I liked him in the first two dramas but I do feel that I am more comfortable seeing him and wanted to see more dramas from him. This is one of the dramas that I found that seemed to interest me and when I get a chance, I could watch it. The plot is awfully similar to the korean drama Autumn's Tale which I was obsessed with.

 Let me know of your thought on this drama

koala's playground basically told me this drama was horrible so i'm contemplating right now whether to watch it or not..

Rating 9/10

The rest may contain spoilers:

Some commenters have said that this drama was being dragged out for too long. However I didn't feel this way at all. Every week there was something new. I waited eagerly for this drama to be subbed every week. 

In this drama you get to see parental bond. You truly understand that a mother would do whatever she can to help her own daughter and an undying love of a child for their own parent. You see that a child will always stay still while being beaten by their parents. You see a young child's devoted love for her  mother when she runs away so that her mother can marry someone.

In the beginning I was addicted to Kim Ji-hoon's cuteness. The way he feel over heels for Bo Ri ( Jang Eun Bi's new name after she was adopted) warmed me up. After he left Bo Ri, due to circumstances that you will later find out, my love for him died but the cold hearted Yeon Min Jung became the center of my attention. She ruthlessly abandons her own mother in order be sponsored by Bo Ri's real family. She lies and cheats her way to become accepted and loved by her new family.

In this drama Lee Yo Ri played the evil Yeon Min Jung well. The way she sneers at her enemy, her uncaring attitude when others beg her, her alarmed face when she realizes her lies are about to be revealed, and her pitiful face when she begs others to give her a chance that immediately changes once she finds out she couldn't get what she wants are all portrayed so realistically. I think she should win a drama award for her role. It was revealed that while on set on the streets, a bus was driving pass and a passenger shouted b*tch at her. You can see the video here and the article on allkpop. That's shows how well she portrayed her evil character. Her acting seriously overpowers all the casts in this drama. I can claim that Yeon Min Jung is evilest, meanest, and ruthless villain in all the dramas I have seen so far. You should watch this drama just to see her acting.

The other little actor I want to give an applause to is Kim Ji Young who plays Bo Ri daughter. While other child stars are given only one or two line and look like they are reciting their lines, she almost had more lines and screen time than some of the veteran actors. She portrays her character also very naturally. Her eyes are filled with tears at the exact moment and her acting trying to please her new grandparents are all so natural that why I rejoiced when she won the child award at the 2014 Korean drama award. BTW, Oh Yeon Seo won the top excellence award for actress for her role in this drama. Read more about the 2014 Korean Drama award here.

For all these reason I would definitely recommend this drama. If you like dramas that has themes like switched at birth, parental love/bond, doing what it takes to succeed, you will like this drama.

 I give this drama a must watch and 9/10 rating.

thanks for reading,
