Kimcheed Radish Cubes

Hey Everyone!

So, I finished another drama just now, called Kimcheed Radish Cubes. I'm not quite sure why it's called this, but it was a nice (shorter than usual) family drama. It was very dramatic in its content, but I loved the family aspect of this drama. I primarily started watching it because Park Shin Hye (You're Beautiful) was in it, but turned out so was Lee Min Jung (Smine, You). I love dramas with Lee Min Jung because she's so bubbly, like in Smile, You. Anyways, this drama had three main families. Jang Sa Ya lived in a temple all her life, till she finally decided to go find her father after meeting Park Jae Woo. When she found her father at last, it turned out that he was ill (pretty much death bed). Before he died, her mother appeared and she was able to live with her because she felt indebted to SY's grandmother (who took her in), yet did not know SY is her daughter. Long ago, SY's mom loved SY's dad, but then suddenly (still not sure why or how) SY's dad married JW's mom. After that, both SY's mom and JW's mom had daughters, SY's grandmother lied to SY's mom and said her daughter died, in reality it was JW's mom's daughter. In spite, JW's mom told SY's grandmother to throw away the child (SY) and she left with all their money. In the present time, JW's mom is the owner of one of the best hotels around since she used the money to build her empire. However, JW and SY fall in love. This stirs up trouble, because not too long after, the truth starts to unveil. In the meantime, SY's mom has a family already, with two step-sons and one son. The eldest son, Jung Dong Jin, got divorced and has a little daughter Ha Som. He falls in love with Eun Ho (widow). However, Ji Hye (HS's mom) returns and stirs trouble (typical) between EH and DJ. Also, Jung Dong Shik falls for SY while SY lives with them, as does Lee Min Do for JW. They give up their love when they realize how much SY and JW love eachother. MD and DS were actually really good friends for years. The three families were connected because let's make a chart: DJ loves EH, EH is MD's sister-in-law, MD is JW's sister-in-law (since her brother married JW's sister). So, there is all these random connections between all three families. Either ways, in the end, though JW's mother tried to stop JW and SY from being together, in the end, she ended up being mugged and having a brain injury while trying to get away from her children (way she wanted to repent). DJ and EH get married, and HS still visited her mom once in a while. DS and MD get married and they live with MD's family while owning a restaurant (before was the hotel flower shop). Finally, JW and SY are married, however, though JW's mother woke up, she is now child-like, and cannot really recognize anyone other than SY. The drama ended with DJ's grandfather's birthday, and all the kids coming over. It was a really nice ending. I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because they made it realistic in the end. As in, JW's mother didn't just miraculously come out of her coma in a normal state. I think in real life, it's highly unlikely. So, overall, though it was 44 episodes long, it was not too melodramatic. I really liked this drama, where the suspense killed me enough, that I had to check the last episode to see who SY's mother was and who she ended up with! Definitely recommended if you have the time to watch it. That's all for now.

I'm off,
