Just finished ‘What Happened to My Family’, and the previous one was ‘Ojakgyo Brothers’. I tried ‘One well raised daughter’, but ended up dropping it because I was literally one episode away from smashing my screen in to hit the villains. XD
What Happened to My Family Wow! 50 eps at 60+mins a pop. That’s seems intense. Looks like it got good reviews though, so maybe not so intense? And it has man of the moment Park Hyung Sik in it too!
Ojakgyo Brothers also looks like it was well received. Which one would you recommend above the other?
One Well Raised Daughter. Is it one of those dramas when the villains have a super teflon coating? From your description, I might need to buy myself a new computer if I watch it, especially given the commitment required. Your frustration reminds me of the C-Drama Across the Ocean to See You, albeit less commitment was required for that one–shorter episodes and run–and I ended up fast-forwarding through crap scenes.
‘What Happened to My Family’ was 53 episodes, and I mostly found it to be cute. It wasn’t huge or groundbreaking, and I’ll admit that I just mostly watched it passively, but it was still good. Park Hyung Sik was cute though. However, I think that in the end it just depends on what more goes for your taste.
‘Ojakgyo Brothers’ is the one I would recommend (58 episodes). It just fitted more of my taste, plus instead of a country girl going to the city, it was a city girl going to the country. Both of them had it’s pros and cons, but in the end it was Ojakgyo’s caramel macchiato that sold me.
‘One Well Raised Daughter’ has 122 episodes. I had to stop at around 34. I just… couldn’t. The villans were just getting away with everything, and it was at the point where I was just fast forwarding through every episode just to resist the urge to punch something. It was by no means well written, and the only reason I had got that far (I originally tuned in for the romance, and it had barley even started before I left) was because every time she bested the family, I just felt such a thrill that it kept me going for another 3 episodes. Truth be told, I just ended up skipping to the last episode.
If you are a person who is better at sticking to dramas than I (Most of the time I watch half of it than read the recaps on Dramabeans) just watch all of them. They each offer your own experience, and you leave with new knowledge. Like the fact that I had no idea I could take so much pleasure out of someones misery in ‘Well Raised Daughter’.
Just finished watching “What Happened to My Family”, and the previous completed one was “Ojakgyo Brothers”. In between the two of them I had tried watching “One Well-Raised Daughter”, but had to end up dropping it.

I’m not that into family dramas. Mostly because they take forever to watch, so I try to stay away from them…
But I just finished my second 50+ episode drama.
And I regret nothing.

And the next thing you know is that it’s three days later and you haven’t gotten any sleep, and you have work in 2 hours.
