you can watch on youtube – very good quality, but not completed. if you watch on http://www.mysoju.com then you will have complete 31 epi with eng subs. I have enjoyed the drama because i like both the actors.

I’m Asian too, so I understand. But I would love it more if she stands by her opinion even when challenged, and not be all mousey and all when her husband or mother-in-law shoots down her opinions. I guess looking deeper it brings up the issues of expectations on accepted behaviour for her as a mother, wife and daughter-in-law. Or maybe I would love it more if her character seemed to… err.. have more of a spine?

Oh I like the budding noona love story too. I think it’s sweet (though it might lead to nowhere).

Why do they have to use so much English? The can’t say “Eugen’s beauty secrets” using Korean words or what?

That’s, right the side storey line is more interesting

for kdramas beside the main plot. It also relate to the

reality of our life esp. in asian cultures. The scriptwriter know how

to enterntain us.

Yeah, that’s the thing. I’m one of the few people who prefers that storyline than the main one. It’s bitter and mean . . . just like real life. (also, I like the budding noona love story. This Belleza has a weakness for “noona is pretty” storylines. ) Also, I only warmed up to Yeo Jun after seeing how much he cared for and wanted to do right by his sister.

“The thing I can’t stand about her is that she is all fierce and what not at moments when she spouts off without thinking especially regarding Sang Eun”

See, I always found it interesting how other Creating Destiny viewers see his mom . . . because, well, that’s EXACTLY how most Asian moms are when you marry their sons.

It’s a good show, because it kinda reiterates how “political” marriages are in traditional Asian culture. You’re not only marrying him, your family is marrying their family.

Also, Sang Eung at times flirts with the “ignorant gyopo” stereotype. Thus, why the mom acts the way she does.

I found the Yun Hee & Hae Sung plot to be completely depressing and their arguments repetitive. Up until recently there was little progress in their storyline and I was seriously starting to pity the actor who played Hae Sung because he had to proclaim “She’s my child!” God knows how many times.

Lemoncat – re Yeo Jun’s mom… I KNOW, right? The thing I can’t stand about her is that she is all fierce and what not at moments when she spouts off without thinking especially regarding Sang Eun, but when called on that by others (e.g. the grandma or grandpa) she immediately goes all meek and contrite. At least stand by your opinion! I cannot understand why she seems to trust her supposed friend, who blabs off unthinkingly all the damn time, than her own family.

If I were to go on about the flaws about this show there would be many (e.g. how can there be nothing redeeming about Hye Rim, her stepmother and stepfather? Are they only capable of acting for their own selfish interests?!), but instead I just choose to focus on how cute Sang Eun/Eugene & Yeo Jun/Ki Tae Young are in this drama.

I can understand why you couldn’t get into it, because I couldn’t either at the beginning. How many episodes have you watched? I personally thought the first few were pretty slow going and kind of boring, but now that I’m past the early part, it’s ADORABLE. I think it started picking up around episodes 5-6 when Eugene and Ki Tae Young’s characters decided to work together to trick their elders rather than simply flailing at them. Like other people mentioned, it’s flawed and rather cliche, but dang it’s light, cute romantic-comedy fun, and the two leads are worth it.

LOL! The dads should just get together and hang out. Yeo Jun’s mother is one of the most irritatingly spineless characters ever. I’ve lost count of how many times she’s been manipulated by Hye Rim XD

“I tend to fast-forward the bits about the other side plot.”

You mean the bromance between their dads?
