this series is worth watching not because of kim or eugenue but its all because of the little angel (shinbi) who has won the hearts of many viewers..

she's such a pretty sight to look at like a real life baby doll... with big round eyes, sweet small lip, flawless face, black curly hair, and sweet cute voice...

hope to see her more often in other series..

currently watching this show. it's funny and dramatic at the same time. funny because of the immature parents, but dramatic because the child had terminal disease.

I love the little girl, she's sooo adorable. I'm watching this drama because of her! haha

Hi! Where did you buy the vcd or dvd? Im kind a interested in the story Its kind a hard to find here in Manila. Thanks!

^ don't think it will be in cantonese yet since this series is recent..
this series is gooooood... omg the Shin-Bi is sooo CUTEE..! must watch people..

i just finished the series in 3 days ' anyways... its quite funny and the lil girl is SO adoarble. but for me the plot strongly resembled that of Full House and it started getting after their like hundredth somewhat pointless arguments. plus the final few episodes are very ... overall though its worth watching.

it begins with her getting very nauseous.
She thinks to herself: it cant be. no way. it cant be!

Seung Won's brother and sister in law are sitting down. they think for sure its a pregnancy.
Eugene freaks out and goes down to the computer lab. types in 'symptoms of pregnancy'.
-nausea.
-hunger.
-sensitivity.

lee jihoon's mom comes and visits him. tension. he calls hej. he feels like crap. he can hear her bf's voice.

eugene goes to the pharmacist in a red wig. wants to ask for a pregnancy tester, but cant because lee jihoon comes in. even after he leaves, she has a hard time asking for it.

lee jihoon recognizes her, but she cant reveal her identity b/c she's ashamed of the preg tester. she trips, and he grabs her pregnancy tester for her. and he persists that she is, and she finally gives in.

kjw and hej just finished watching their movie. she says shes sick and wants to leave early.
as she leaves she calls lee jihoon and says shes coming to his place.

eug sprained her ankle when she tripped but wont go to the doctor afraid the doc's going to confrim her pregnancy. lee jihoon gives her a piggy back ride b/c shes hurt and hej sees them. lee jihoon tells eug to not dress like this. he says she was cuter in singapore, like a baby chick.

hej recognizes eug and is now even more pissed but gives her a ride home at lee jihoon's request.

eug asks hej which boy she likes more. hej asks why she cares. eug says she wants to kjw as her husband and then hej pushes her to the floor.

later eug thinks back of kjw being mean to her for being mean to hej (episode 2). kjw is thinking the same thing. they both want to call each other... but hej calls kjw just as he was calling eug.

she calls him out and asks him if he still likes her and refreshes his memory of his devotion to only her.

eug tries the tester and one of hte lines come out blurry... so she cant really tell if its really a baby or not.

eug asks her sister about the tester.. saying it was wat her paper was on. her sister says of course you should go to the doctor, wat a dumb paper.

later the sister thinks... and puts the pieces together. eug is carrying kjws baby.

the sister goes to his school and looks for him. kjws friend and teh sister meet eyes... they fall for each other.

while waiting for his frend, kjw sees this big blue tank thing. dunno wat it is. all excited he runs to it, but then sees lee jihoon. kjw is disrespectful. lee jihoon knows kjw saw him in singapore and says, lets get along b/c i like you. kjw says hes not interested in men especially not men who think of dating as shopping. [which is actually wat hej said to lee jihoon.] lee jihoon laughs... and says he thinks of dating as cup ramens. easily conjured. easily thrown away. disposables. and tells kjw he doesnt want her anymore. that he can keep hej. kjw gets pissed that lee jihoon would talk that way bout his gf. lee jihoon warns him taht hej isnt the kind of girl he thinks she is.. and taht he cant handle her, to look for someone that better suits him.

later kjw and hej meet and he tells her. hej says eugene is a hussy. he stands up for her.

later. eug is at the hospital getting a sonogram. 9 weeks. the doctor says: please bring the baby's father. delivering a baby is a difficult thing not meant to be done alone.

she worries... wat does she say to kjw? lets marry? love me? she goes to school looking for him.

lee jihoon sees her waiting for him. and says he'll help her look for him. but she says no! no!!! she never wants to look for someone with someone she doesnt know well ever again.

they see kjw + hej.

kjw asks wat shes doing here, and she says she wasnt looking for him, but lee jihoon. he grabs her shoulders and leads her away. [mu shee ssuh. Right-click here to download pictures. To help protect your privacy, Outlook prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. wub.gif

lee jihoon asks her if she likes kjw. she says no.

as kjw is practicing, he keeps thinking of eugene and cant get her out of his mind.

eug is sick. at work, she keeps coughing and kjw cooks soft rice for her and asks about her relationship with lee jihoon. with a bit of hope in her eyes, she asks if he's jealous. of course, he says no... and says she shouldnt see him as his frnd.. and how he hates lee jihoon b/c he played hej. she asks him to spend some time with her tomo.

she drags him to an amusement park. trying to soften him up for the big new. he doesnt like roller coasters.

later that nite, he realizes its white day. [korean valentines day]. he runs into a candy store and asks eug which candies are pretty. she smiles...
and then he hopes aloud, his gf will like them.
eug is dissapointed.

later. they sit down and eat...
she says shes catholic. and he gets all cranky saying hes busy. and that he needs to drop the candy off at hej's house before 12 so he gives it to her for white day.

eug sees how much he loves her.
she tells him to just go to hej.. and ends up not telling him anything.
saying, i thought it was our problem.. but now that i think about it.. its just my problem.

later as he walks away.. he thinks maybe she liked him.

at night she goes to the priest. and cries. "i have to make a big decision, but no on will help me. will you help me, father. i wanted to ask God wat to do.. but i already know his answer. and alone... im too scared to make a decision. i had dreams once. i wanted a career. find love. marry the man i love. have his baby. but everythings out of order. im scared. i dont konw wat to do. i have no one to go to. someone please help me. you're like my dad. just today, will you please discipline me. will you please worry about me. be concerned about me. just today." and keeps crying. [this scene made me cry]

kjw worries abot eug liking him. loving her as a frnd.

his brothers family is not pregnant.

eug tells her mother shes goin to australia to study abroad for free as they are playing hwato. [korean card game.]

kjw goes to visis eug's house.. worried bout her as a frnd. the sister slams the door in his face angrily saying shes leaving to study abroad.

he runs into her in the street. and says not to leave just b/c of him thinking its b/c of her crush on him. she laughs.. and says dont worry about it. and says... yah. we're just frnds.

his father beats him. "so nothing happend with that girl in singapore?"
"something did happen but..."

hej is pissed and walks out. he cant explain. and she dumps him there.

hej calls lee jihoon and tells him everything that happened so far. he thinks shes brave for not erasing the baby.

kjw goes to the hospital for a blood test.

eug says he basically raped her.

they both fight. and the dad kicks both of them out.

outside they continue arguing.
kjw: who says you could have the baby without my permission? this is a crime.
eug: why do i have to ask anyones permission to have my baby!?
kjw: im not just an anyone. im the baby's father.
eug: so! you ran away that day. afriad to take responsibilty.
kjw: i didnt run away! and i already apologized for singapore. but this!? you should have told me you were pregnant when you found out. how can you do this to me? appear out of no where with a baby and stab me int he back.
eug: wat? stab you in the back?
kjw: look. you made me look stupid in front of my family. and! ive lost hte love of my life b/c of you now.

kjw: how are you going to raise her?
eug: ill go to school and... i guess thatll be hard. well ill work and... then who'll wtch her?
kjw: how can you have a baby without any plans?
eug: dont worry about me. ill take care of my life and my dauther's life. thank you.

inside. the dad wants the baby and says shinbi belongs to them as she is of their bloodline. and doesnt want eugene to be bogged down with the baby.
eug's mom is gettin pissed. who said the baby was bogging her down?
kjw's dad had planned to put the baby under kjw's older brother's name. that couple is surprised and walks out sadly.

eug's mom wants to take the baby back. but kjw's dad refuses.

kjw: my dad wotn allow that. he's going to put the baby under my brother's name.
eug: why is my baby going to your brothers??? this is none of their business.
kjw: hes my brother.
eug: she's not really your responsibility.
kjw: you didnt give me a chance to even know about it. you just had the baby on your own.
eug: and if i had told you the truth? would you have let me have the baby? you would have told me to have an abortion, right?? that's exactly why i have to raise shinbi. and... now without shinbi, I'LL DIE!

inside.
the mom argues that a mom cant live without her baby. and that they must raise shinbi. saying eug cant go on without shinbi.
kjw's dad says shinbi is a han [kjw's last name in teh drama]. and of their bloodline.

kjw is waiting outside hej's house.

kjw keeps calling her name. but is ignored.

ljh: so you're getting married? doesnt that mean you should stop coming here?
kjw: who says im gettin married?
lhj: no? the other party says differently.
kjw mumbles. he visits this side and that side. speaking directly to kjw. you cant live with just one girl? too boring?
ljh: you're not one to point fingers. neither you or i arent very diff from han cheyun. [hej]. dont make her cry[referring to eug]. even if it means i have to cry by myself, i dont make a girl cry.

kjw is at home begging his dad. saying he cant marry. hes only 23!! he has a whole life in front of him. wat about him?

kjw: that was a mistake. a one time thing. if i get married, itll be a life long mistake!

kjw. begs as he holds unto his dad's leg.
haha.
everyone leaves he is left alone with shinbi.
he is freaking out alone with her. and picks her up so they are face to face.
kjw: stop smiling. you'll grow on me.
shinbi: WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
kjw: ok. im sorry. this daddy is sorry. please stop crying!!

later he takes her to class.
[shinbi is SOOOOOOOO cute!]

[freakin cute kjw!!!!!!! Right-click here to download pictures. To help protect your privacy, Outlook prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. blush.gif ]

kjw: lets get married.
eug: wat??
kjw: lets get married. lets get married. LETS GET MARRIED RITE NOW!!!

Episode 5
it begins with her stalking away from him.
they argue because they'll be married, but not legally. the baby will go under his name, but she will raise shinbi.
so i guess she wont really have a right to shinbi??

wat exactly is the diff b/w 호닌싱고 & 결혼?
kinda confused too.. but ill try.

which is unfair for her. he says its because they both have lives ahead of them and shouldnt have to be bogged down by being legally bound to one another.
but for her, the baby is pretty much his, and she just raises her.
also. with his plan, his parents would have the right to see the baby whenever they wanted and as much as they wanted.

eugene: am i not good enough that i dont get a real marriage??
kjw: hey. its fair because you get to raise the baby but the baby goes under my name. we're both doing wat we want.
eugene: how is that fair??? she becomes rightfully yours while i just raise her. how is that a marriage?
kjw: so?? this way we'll both have clean slates. hey, im letting you put her under my name. [or... letting you borrow my last name]
eugene: letting me? shes YOUR daughter!!
kjw: exactly. she goes under my name and i marry you.
eug:hey! i have a last name too that she can go under!

kjw thinks he was doing her a big favor by even offering to marry her...

eug thinks he should be thankful he even has the oppurtunity to have such a beautiful wife and child.

at home, kjw gets kicked out because he gave away shinbi. he says he cant live wihout chaeyoung [hej. the gf.] and eug cant live without shinbi, so wat is there to do? his dad is pissed that he cant even take responsiblity of his own child.

at eugene's, the baby keeps crying and wont sleep which disturbs the residents who pay to live there. most of them are students and complain that they cant study due to the baby's cries.
she tries to quiet the baby unsuccessfully and leaves the house.
eug finally gets mad at shinbi to sleep saying that mommy's tired.
eug: shinbi, mommy wants to go back to college and start studying again one day.. but if you keep doing this, i cant do anything. do you want me to become stupid. please sleep... please sleep my baby.
all the while, kjw is looking on with a worried face.

walking around, he cant help but be faced with the decision, to either choose what he thinks is love and his own life [gf] or to be responsible for his actions [shinbi].

eug goes to visit kjw's dad at his construction company.
he called her.
he compliments her on how well she eats and she says: father, eat alot as well.
he pauses, father??
worried, she offended him, she apologizes saying that father in law seemed a little difficlut for her to say and he reassures her that it is fine and that he wanted a daughter of his own.
he lets her know that kjw's been missing and asks her if she's seen him.

eug: i cant live i cant live b/c of you!! if you were'nt the father of our baby...
and the coke can she kicks in anger hits ljh on hte head. ARE YOU OK?
ljh: owwwwwwwwwww.
he says he needs to go get a CT skan... cus of hte can that hit him on the head. and she realizes he was only joking.

they go visit hej's school and the girls she was walking with cant stop complimenting ljh and his good looks.

eug came to ask if hej knew where he was and says hej didnt have to be so cold to kjw, esp after all these years.
hej defends herself asking eug how she would feel if her bf came to her with another womans' baby.
eug: nm. so i guess you dont know where he is either...
hej: can i give you a piece of advise. its b/c of girls like you that women in general get scorned at. if you're going to have a love affair, keep it clean. wat kind of young girl makes such a mess out of thigns?
ljh: han che young!
hej to ljh: wat are you doing?
ljh is stopped by hej from going after eug: if i knew you were going to be like this, i woundt have brought her to you.
hej: STOP! STOP RIGHT NOW!

ljh asks eug wat shes gonna do now. and she says shes just going to go look for kjw. he says they need structure or a plan to follow so they dont waste time looking for him. she smiles to herself because it sounds just like what she once said to kjw in singapore when he was looking for hej.

kjw comes to hej's school where the rest of them are and face them.
hej: seungwon. i told you not to come to my school anymore.
kjw drags eug to his side: im marrying her. i came here to tell you that. be.. happy, please. and sunbennim [talking to ljh], from now own, dontt meet my wife from now on.

outside, pissed eug throws off his arm saying hes going to ruin her future marriage plans with his talk of their marrying.
he laughs and says, wat could be worse than a baby for your future marriage.
she says thats talk of the dark ages.
kjw: well, isnt it better that the baby's father take care of her than someone else?
eug: so? you still dont want to legally be married to me, but want me to raise her, and want your parents have legal guardianship of her!
kjw: no. lets REALLY get married, legal and all. but! theres a deal to this.

at a cafe, he shows her the marriage contract.
1. after five years, when the child has a mind of her own, we split.
2.we'll let the baby decide who she wants to live with. [wat a horrid thing to do to a chid....]
3. we dotn interfere in each other's personal life.
4. but we have to equally share all the household responsibilites.
5. we will be respectful to each other's parents.
6. kjw: hey... this whole thing'll get a bit hard if thers another kid...
eug: excuse me? as long as your careful, thats not a problem at all.
kjw: dont worry. ill never look at you as a woman.
so! we will definitly be using seperate rooms.
7. and this will always be a secret to the adults.

kjw tells his family they are going to get married.

kjw's family women go to meet eug's family women. both mothers do their best to cut each other down saying, its not like hes an ideal son in law. and this is nothing to brag about, a wedding where an unmarried girl already had a baby.
they argue and cut each other down until both families say that they are going to marry them off with just a blanket and a bowl of water for a wedding ceremony....

kjw flips out. saying that this is ridiculous. he wants a wedding, a 3 bedroom apt, a car, full 4 year tuition for both of them, money to raise the baby, and double his allowance now!

the mothers meet again and kjw's mom wrote a ginormous list of all the things she wants eug's family to bring in her dowry.
eug's mom: if we buy all these thigns... there will be no room for them to live in.
kjw's mom: is it more than you can afford?
eug's mom: no! we can do it.

eug is pissed off at the list, knowing that they cant afford all this but her mom knows if she doesnt have a large dowry, kjw's family will scorn her forever.

instead, eug asks her mom for hte money, saying that they'll just buy watever they need with the money.

eug and kjw go over the list together and she begins to cross off all these unnecessary things like an LCD large flathead tv and a dishwasher and especially his request of a large diamond ring. hahaha.

kjw says screw the list! and lets just shop!!

they go to the mall to look at things and the first thing she goes for is the washing machine, but he drags her away begging her to buy videogame player. i think ps2... saying that they can buy tiny home appliances and spend money on things they want. kjw tries to win her over saying that his mom wont care wat kind of stuff they buy. and that her dowry isnt even important to his mom, as she isnt in the least bit superficial.

ljh wakls through his campus and all over the place are posters of kjw's oncoming wedding and a picture of him, eug, and shinbi. embarrased, he chases down his frnd, who is behind all the posters.

hej gets the wedding card. and inside kjw had written: im sorry. i loved you.

ljh goes over to his frnd's house b/c theres a woman working there. prbably his mom's unwanted doing. he decides to move in with his frnd and sell his own house. his frnd invites him to kjw's bachelor party thing.

thye do this whole traditionl korean wedding party thing which is hwere eug's sister tries to pay them to come inside and stuff. kind of like a bachelor party... krn style.

kjw's frinds all clap and shout for eug to sing so she gets up. kjw notices that ljh stares at eug.

later, eug goes over to her mom and says shes sorry that made all this work for her. she wonders if she'll be able raise shinbi as well as her mom raised her.
mom: why would you only raise her as well as i raised you? you had better raise her better than that! raise your daughter well.
eug: mom~
the mom takes her inside her room, and gives a large sum of money. the only money her dad left behind when he died. the mom insists she take it, saying that eug needed something to rely on, even if she was married. the mom knows that kjw is a bit immature for a husband and worries for her daughter.

outside, a very drunk kjw expresses his doubts of marrying. and wonders if hes doing the right thing. mumbling, he asks someone to stop him.

ljh goes outside and sees eug.
eug: are u leaving?
ljh: yeah.
eug: thank you for coming down here.
ljh: do you still need my help?
eug: excuse me?
ljh: remeber, you asked me to take your hand and run away.
eug: oh...
ljh: hey, its still not too late. if you need anything, just sos me and ill be there for you. but you know once you get married, i cant help you, right? that you have to live well by keeping your family, right? well, you've had the courage to raise shinbi well so far, so im sure you'll do well.
eug: thank you.
ljh: then i'll go...
eug: drive home safely.
ljh: you look very good in that dress..

kjw is all drunk and jealous~~~

eug: you scared me!
kjw: wat are yo doing? ur not even married yet and you're meeting other men already?
eug: i thought we werent' going to mess with each other's personal lives.
kjw looks all eh about that line...
eug: why? do you want to change it back so that we can interfere in each other's personal lives?
kjw: no... eesh~

the wedding finally takes place.
facing each other, they mutter at ech other to at least force a smile.

hej cries in ljh's car as they drive home.
hej: you know.. i thought i wouldnt feel so betrayed to him. but, seeing him next to someone today, i felt so betrayed. i dont know y.
ljh: just wish them happiness.
hej: if they live happily, i think ill be miserable...

at the airport the newlywed couple argue.
eug argues that he doesnt respect her mom or her family. how he didnt smile when he was taking pictures with them, nor did he compliment her mom at least out of courtesy. also, he tried to avoid her.
kjw says he didnt. and apologized half heartedly.
eug is even more pissed at such an empty apology.
kjw: wat a huge mess this is, y'd i get into a marriage without love?
eug: a huge mess!?
pissed, they split, saying that they cant go on their honeymoon with each other, yelling that they cant stay married to each other any longer.

eug's mom brags to her frnds about how well her daughter married off, saying how when she goes over later to clean it, it'll take days cus its so big.

the newlyweds walk around and find they have nowehre to go.

they both go to their new home and fight to get in first, i guess trying to lock the other person out.

kjw's brother's family is trying to get it on... but the mother in law interrups saying, they should go over and help re arrang the furniture.

both of their parents come and see that the lights are on, and both think that its a theif or soemthing.

both get in, and kjw licks his lips as eug cooks herself the oen ramen she boought on the way. he ordered chinese though.

the doorbell rings.. happily, he runs over thinking its his dinner, but its both of their parents.

inside the closet, the newlyweds can hear the moms outside speaking.

kjw's mom is blatantly rude and patronizes eug's mother for not picking out their appliances herself and how eug didnt even buy anything worth stealing if a burglar had actually come. eug's mom has been busy working and said she trusted eug.
kjw's mom says that eug didnt really know wat she was doing, and anyways, they were too poor to afford much better.
this upsets eug's mom greatly.
kjw's mom tells her how kjw came to her begging her to not make the dowry and home stuff a big deal because they couldnt afford much. but still, how eug's family had really done too little.
eug's mom apologizes that she didnt pay more attnt to everything.
inside the closet, eug's heart breaks.

eug: wat?? your mom doesnt care about the dowry and stuff??
kjw: u see...
eug: how can you put my mom through all that?
kjw: it wasnt too big a deal.. i mean adults can have different opinions on stuff...
eug: wat? different opinions?? my mom was getting in trouble and apologizing! how is that merely a matter of different opinions? you said your mom didnt care just about money and stuff.. but look at how she ridiculed our family for not bringing alot.
kjw mutters to himself about how his mother overreacted.
eug: its you and i that made a mistake, but y is it that my mom is getting blamed and being yelled at. I DONT WANT TO LIVE WITH YOU!
kjw: wat?
eug half sobbing now: do you want me to repeat myself?
kjw: no...

eug goes inside her room to sob.

frustrated kjw kicks the boxes and when he does, the book eug gave him before she left falls, and so does the paper airplane.
inside it, it says: i would like you to remember this name, han shinbi.

she soon calls her mom, reasurring her that they arrived at their honeymoon safely and that shes too happy. she tells her mom that kjw was a better husband than she had given him credit for, and that hes really good to her.
eug: mom. are you glad that im happy? but wat should i do? i just keep thinking of you.
covering the phone piece, eug sobs as kjw looks on with a million dollar expression of regret and hurting for eug.

in the morning, he cooks her breakfast, a meal he had learned while working at that restaurant wit her.

kjw: im sorry. im really sorry about last night. im earnestly apologizing right now. after we eat, lets go visit motherinlaw [eug's mom] cus i have a gift i think she'd like. we'll go over there and tell her wat really happened, and then i'll apologize for last night. come on, sit down. i hope you like it.
eug: ... im sorry i got mad at you last night.
kjw: psh. sit down and eat.

later, hej goes over to ljh's and sees that he's moving. she had sacked a lunch for a picnic as a friend and is a bit sad that he didnt tell her he was moving.

ljh shows her his new house, and as they stand there admiring it, eug and kjw come squibbling out.

the four of them are face to face again.

kjw: che..cheyoung. [hej]

Episode 6
ok so the newlyweds come squibbling out and come face to face with ljh and hej who came to look at ljh's new house.
the frind comes out and says he did it on purpose. "SURPRISE!!!" and seeing as how he doesnt really know the relationships, he giggles about their 'first night' although not technically, seeing as how they had shinbi and all...
but wat about their honeymoon??? its not time for them to be back already...

the five of them go back to the new couple's house, and the jokes continue, but kjw tries to make it look less intimate infront of hej saying as how they are really just frnds, not really a couple, but eug kicks him painfully before he can really conitnue.
the frnd gets a call from 'flower deer' [eug's sister. hahahaha.] and leaves.

hej: earlier, the two of you looked good together. do you like being married?
eug, cuts him off before he can ssay much: yeah, we love it. we're reallybusy too, having to visit our relatives, right honey?
kjw, rudely: wats wrong with you?
ljh offers his hand to kjw, his new neighbor: lets be frnds...
kjw leaves him hanging, saying how his stomach hurts.
ljh: i thought hed change after he married.. but no.
hej breaks the awkward silence by saying they should leave to help him finish his own packing.

as ljh and hej walk off, ljh defines their relationship as only frnds, although hej seems to want to keep flirting.
hej: can i come over?
ljh: if i say no, will you stop coming?
hej: nope. ill keep coming.
ljh: i guess its ok, as long as ur not doing it to show off to someone.
hej: wat are u talkinga bout?
jlh: well~ think about it.

insisde eug cleans the blanket harshly infront of kjw out of frustration and jealousy b/c of hte way he acted infrotn of hej, and saying that their relationship is merely like frnds.

the two fo them are all drssd up to stop by kjw's family's house to get shinbi.
eug's family is preparing all this food for eug's new husband, han subang. they even closed the restaurant for a day to prepare food for the new couple.
in krn tradition, you have to stop by the girl's family first and spend the night there. very disrespectful to not do so.. and they prepare adn gossip while waiting for eug and her new husband.

at kjw's house, they make such a big deal that eug/kjw has a baby that his brother's family is hurt at their insensititvy, as how they cant have a baby.

they get tied down at kjw's family b/c shinbi has a slight fever. and at the prodding of his parents, kjw offers to stay at his parents house, resulting in eug being upset once more.
eug: han seunwon, wats wrong with you? shouldnt we go down to my family today?
kjw: so? wat am i supposed to do? she has a fever?
eug: still! my mom is waiting all prepared for us!!
kjw: wat if shinbi gets sick?
eug: this is too much.
kjw: no. and come on, my parents just want to spend some time with shinbi~

later, eug is int he bathroom and calls her mom, telling her that shinbi hsa a fever. that shinbi shouldnt really go out much.. and that they wont be able to come down. although the mother had been waiting for them all day, she reassures eug that she was too busy all day to even worry about their coming. and that eug is now a part of kjw's family, not the mom's. the mom tells her to be patient and be good to hansubang , that'll itll reslut int he happiness of their family.

later kjw, eug, and shinbi lay down to sleep. kjw reasurres her that they'll surely go visit her mom tomorrow.
as eug kisses shinbi, kjw asks eug if she really likes shinbi that much? and that she must like him that much too, seeing as how shinbi looks just like him.
kjw worries about shinbi's future and says that he'll be hella pissed if shinbi grows up and brings home a guy like himself which makes eug smile.

kjw's dad peeks in and kjw jumps next to eug. kjw's mom drags the dad out, and kjw begings to get comfortable next to eug and on her pillow, but she kicks him away, telling him to go sleep on his side.

the next morning the newlyweds find out that raising the baby wont turn out like they planned. kjw had thought that they would just take the baby during the weekends, and that the mom would watch shinbi pretty much during the weekdays. but she argues saying that she has a life too. and that after all the money she's giving htem, they should be able to raise shinbi on their own. eug didnt know that their family was paying for all their tuition. they settle that the mom will watch shinbi on the weekends.

eug knows that she'll end up watching the baby most of the time. on top of studies and all. even after they go home, they argue b/c kjw wants her to watch the baby and do her school work.
eug: do u think raising a baby is that easy?
kjw: no one said it was easy, but still. other ppl hve 2/3 kids.
eug: shall i give you more kids???
kjw: hey. come one, everyone raises kids. stop making such a big deal of it.
eug: fine. you raise her all by yourself tonight. u'll see for yourself how hard it is to be a student parent~
kjw: so who told you to have a baby?
immediately sorry.. he looks away.
eug: dont every say things like that infront of our baby.
fine, she says and sets up a tent outside to study.

inside, kjw tries to put the bagy to sleep as well as do his hw.

the prankster that he is, kjw slips outside in revenge, to hwere eug is inside the tent, and locks her inside with a pin from outside.

she says fine!!!.. until she has to go to the bathroom really bad. ljh comes to save her but she thinks its kjw and slaps him immediatey. after apologizing, she runs into ljh's bathroom.

although she tries to sneak away from ljh out of embarrasment, he sees her. and she thanks him. also, she notices the groceries on his table, and helps him organize them, saying that leaving them out like that will cause them to go dry or rot. she tells him to eat more veggies. and that keeping the frig orgznized will be more helpful. ljh is surprised at how well she works in the kitchen.

back at the new couple's home, the baby cries and cries. the new dad doesnt know wat to do. he has a paper due tomorrow. and while trying to calm her, he warns her that all boys are bad too..


kjw finally goes outside to let eug out, but notices that shes not even in there. he sees eug come out of ljh's house and hides behind the tent. kjw gets a call from his bro, he received a notice from the govt for the army, and his brother picked it up before his parents did. the brother tells him to tell his wife... kjw tells his bro not to tell anyone.

eug: whered u go?
kjw: just out with shinbi...
eug: dont go ot with shinbi too much.
kjw: im sorry...
eug: why?
kjw: just. im just sorry.

in the morning, the baby cires and both kick each other to take care of hte baby. after eug steps on kjw, she looks back. sorry.. did i not hurt you? ^^


the next scenes are of a college couple struggling to raise a baby together, taking her to classes and stuff.

on another morning, they both find that they are busy in teh afternoon. eug has a test. and kjw has to go to the clinic for a govt army test thing. eug doesnt konw that cus kjw just says he has something imp to do.. eug tries to call everyone she knows, but no luck. so she goes to his school saying, "shinbi abba."
his frnds make fun of him. she drops shinbi off with kjw. kjw tries to get his frnd to watch the baby as well, but his frnd says no..
and so kjw says: fine. ill just drop shinbi off with the supermarket lady. eug's sister who was on a date with kjw's frnd, overhears. and pissed off, she goes to the supermarket to pick up the baby, saying that kjw shouldnt just leave shinbi wiht anybody like that.

over at the clinic, kjw meets a frnd and the frnd asks kjw if he still follows hej aruond like that. kjw reflects back to the past... when he was about to kiss hej for hte frist time. but he said: lets wait until i get back from the army, so you'll have something to look forward to.

ljh goes to the supermarket and buys a whole cart of just veggies b/c eug had said that he needed more veggies in passing.

ljh's stepmom goes to visit hej at work, and pretty much tells her that she's not good enough. that she found hej to tell her not to hang out with ljh anymore.
ljh's the youngest and precious in the family.
hej tells the stepmom, that she'll be good. and that ljh needs her.
the stepemom brushes her off.
upset, hej calls ljh first, but hangs up.
and then calls kjw.

as kjw comes out. he'll be leaving in like 2 months, and then goes to the supermarket where he left the baby. the lady said shinbi's mom hd come to pick her up and happily, kjw goes off to a computer place to write in his cyworld.

he writes a love letter to shinbi. how at first he wasnt really excited to hear about her. but that now he loves her so much and that he's so sorry to be leaving to the army after just having gotten to know her.
while he's typing, he gets a instant message from hej, saying that she thought of him alot today and that she's at the sauna they used to go to alot.

eug goes home and wonders where kjw and their baby's at.

his cell phones in the locker, so she merely leaves a message saying that shinbi's milk should be running low and to come home quickly. that she's waiting for them.

at the sauna, kjw overreacts to make hej feel better. not letting her hold anything and telling her she's like a beautiful flower. she says she feels a little bit better, so he gives her a back rub. he says he'll be there for her whenever she needs him. inside, he wants to tell her he's going to the army.

eug is worried. where are they? is the baby ok? the baby's out of food by now...

eug's sister and kjw's frnd takes the baby to a restaurant. the frnd worries kjw will flip out once he knows the kid disappeared. and the frnd tries to convince the sister that kjw isnt that bad of a guy. the sister says she hopes kjw learns his lesson.

eug is still flipping out... and finally goes to ljh for help. they drive around looking for kjw. ljh tries to reasurre her saying that shinbi's dad will take good care of shinbi. but she says its way past time for shinbi to have her meal. at kjw's school, they run into a student who says he doesnt know where kjw is, but saw the baby at the school's supermarket earlier. they run over there, but the lady says she gave the baby to the baby's mom. eug really flips out.

they go to the police and she thinsk that somone kidnapped shinbi. she begs for somone to find her baby.

eug's mom goes home and sees the sister, shinbi, and the frind standing inftont of their house. the sister gets in trouble for playing sucha mean prank on them, and the sister forgot that eug doesnt know. they call her and eug comes running to her baby. the sister says its b/c she wanted to teach kjw a lesson, and the mom flips out too, beating the sister up.

ljh drives eugene home, and looks over at her... with a ... look in his eyes.

they get out after they park, and ljh looks up to see kjw and hej finally coming home in smiles.

pissed off, eug runs over to them. .

episode 8 summary

]the episode starts out with eugene calling shinbi to come to her in the tent, and then "time passes by," and an all grown up shinbi at age 5 pops out of the tent saying she's there, i think. jaewon is getting dressed quickly and shinbi is explaining to the viewers that that is her dad who attends plane school. eugene tells jaewon to put shinbi her school clothes on cause she's busy and he does so. then they go to the kitchen table for breakfast and shinbi says "today is my day to be the mom" and jaewon goes "your right" so he eats something and says it's good. shinbi questions "is it really good" and he does hand motions saying "its really really good." so shinbi calls jaewon by his name to eat alot and jaewon agrees. eugene pops her head from the kitchen and says "han shinbi, are you really going to do this everyday? your going to get in trouble!" and shinbi gets quite. shinbi's voice then talks in the background saying "this is my mother...." and something else, i don't know what. then eugene goes to the kitchen table and asks shinbi why she isn't eating. jaewon keeps on talking to shinbi calling her "mom" then shinbi says to jaewon "dad, stop. it ended" and jaewon is just speechless. jaewon smells somthing and it's bacon burning, then the two argue. shinbi is just sighing.

the two argues who is going to go and drop shinbi at school. eugene says that jaewon has to, unless if he wants to go and earn money. shinbi starts to question eugene and jaewon what some words ment. the only one that i got was when shinbi asked "what is a piolet" and jaewon explains that its someone who flies a plane. jaewon drops shinbi at her school and when her teacher asks her what her dad does, she says "he's a driver (i think)" when jaewon was hoping she said he was a piolet.

during class, i think the teacher asked who was married, i dont know something dealing with family maybe because after the teacher left, all of jaewon's classmates were singing "dad, be strong! shinbi is here for you!" after class, jaewon's classmates were planning something at 7, i dont know what, maybe a date thing. sorry... jaewon's friend gives him a piece of paper that has a time and place for a date meeting and tells him to go. jaewon refuses but eventually takes the offer.

eugene is going for a job interview and hears these two girls talking about some person that was having a hard time after having a kid. she's in the bathroom practicing her introduction. jaewon is preparing for his "date" which he finds out that the person was not a type he thought he was going to encounter. eugene explains during her interview why she wants to join the company. the interviewer seemed pleased until he found out that she was married. she explained that she is married for 3 years and has a child. then the interviewer went to the next applicant. meanwhile, jaewon went to his friends house to yell at him for setting him up with that girl who he met at the "date", who his friend didn't want to meet.

chae yeon looks around a room, i dont know which room that is. ji hoon is in his office, then gets a phone call from chae yeon, wondering when she came. she wanted to stop by where he was, but he said "let's just meet at work tomorrow." chae yeon hangs up, and finds a picture of her and jaewon, and thinks "seung won, a loveless marriage, are you happy?"

shinbi is watching tv and eugene and jaewon are grieving about the money problems they have. then the electricity goes out because the gas bill was a priority. shinbi wanted to watch tv, so eugene and jaewon entertained shinbi with lighters saying that they are playing with fire.

shinbi, jaewon, and eugene heads to jaewon's parents house to ask then for some money. jaewon told shinbi to rehearse what they went through before and shinbi goes "grandpa, i love you , i love you." in the house, eugene prepared jaewon's father's favorite food, and he liked it. everyone found out that they came for some money. shinbi heard something from jaewon's brother and said "#3, we will not touch each other," which was one of the agreements eugene and jaewon made before they got married. then jaewon's father asked shinbi what was #1 and #2, and she told them what they were. everyone got mad and jaewon's father starts yelling at the couple "is marriage a joke? marriage is a promise, do you know what you are doing? sae jin, im disappointed" and said more things that were kind of harsh.

jaewon and eugene walks home, with shinbi, and jaewon said "there is one last resort, why dont you ask your mom?" eugene rejects the idea, but heads there anyways. once she got there, she overhears her mom and her sister arguing about money and how her mom favors eugene more than her. her mom says that eugene never asks for money and is living perfectly fine without her help. eugene comes into the scene saying to her sister, "you should use english in the correct way, it's discussion, not dictionary," when her mom asks what are you doing here, eugene goes "why am i here again?" and didnt ask for money. her mom asks eugene to get a job(?) for her sister at this one restaurant place in a mall, i think.

ji hoon's aunt is surprised about ji hoon's and chae yeon's relationship, because they are just friends when it seemed like engaged couple when they left. they are now just friends and partners in work.

ji hoon's brother talks about something dealing with business, and something. i dont know what this part is about. sorry. something dealing with punishment(?). chae yeon says something afterwards... but i dont know what. at lunch, chae yeon and ji hoon starts talking about ji hoon's mom and how she and chae yeon are alike. chae yeon starts talking about how ji hoon's family is very unmannerful and that she might try to beat then in business. she starts talking about how she's going to succeed (?).

eugene and her sister starts to argue becuase her sister doesnt want to work in the place where her mom suggested. a guy named min comes out and recognizes eugene's sister. eugene's sister and min went out a long time ago. eugene's sister said that she'll work there, the reason is that min works there too.

eugene finds a poster, i think it says hiring people not sure, so she writes down the info in a journal. chae yeon and eugene meets and they realize each other and say hi. eugene accidently drops the journal and chae yeon sees what's written in there (chae yeon works in the same area, i think). they separate in their own ways but before they leave, chae yeon asks "how is seung won?"

jaewon gets a phone call from chae yeon while he's doing the dishes. she asks if he's alright. he says yes. she wants to meet him but he said that they shouldnt. chae yeon says that she wont eat him so they should meet. so they met at a cafe place. she starts off saying "it's been a while" and he agrees. eugene is playing an arcade game when you use a gun and shoot the people at the screen screaming "DIE DIE DIE WHY WONT YOU DIE?!" back to jaewon and chae yeon, chae yeon says "maybe because of the marriage, eugene looks more like an old lady(korean mother, ahjoomah), and you're becoming more like an old man(korean father, ah juh shee). she gives jaewon something, and then jaewon gets a phone call from shinbi's teacher.

eugene and jaewon met up at shinbi's school and the teacher says "it's nothing big, but shinbi...." and there is a scene during class where the teacher asked, "how are you born?" and when it got to shinbi's turn, shinbi's cousin, jaewon's brother's twins, said that shinbi was born because of a mistake... i dont know what they said. then there was another scene during school when she was playing with fire with a magnifying glass. the teacher asked what she was doing, and she said "im playing with fire." and the teacher said it was dangerous, but shinbi said "no it's not, my mom and dad plays with fire every night." eugene and jaewon asked where shinbi was now and the teacher said "at her grandfather's house." at shinbi's grandfather's house, eugene and jaewon went to pick up shinbi, but the grandpa wouldn't let the couple take shinbi back. so they left without shinbi.

jaewon's friend visits ji hoon at his office, then he meets chae yeon and they were all surprised to see each other. the three walk around the mall and jaewon's friend explains how eugene's sister can't live without him. then he sees eugene's sister flirting with min, and he gets angry. he questions her who this man was and she was startled. he questions "who is he, do i look that easy to play with..?" and other questions like that. she explains that that man was her first love. he walks away and she says "if you walk away, it's the end between us!" but he eventually walks away when she was daydreaming that he didnt.

chae yeon gets suspicioius of ji hoon because he suddenly moved back to his apartment, the place right next to where eugene and jaewon lives, when he was staying at the apartment.

eugene and jaewon are grieving of everything while drinking beer. ji hoon and chae yeon walks towards where jihoon lives, and jihoon sees eugene and jaewon drinking with candle lights on, he sighs and walks away to where he lives. eugene and jaewon talks about things they both agree on, i dont know what they are talking about, my korean isn't that good. they wonder why their lives are so bad when everyone is dating and they have a kid and went through marriage.

shinbi is crying in her grandparents room for her mom and dad. her cousins are making fun of her (i find them quite annoying). shinbi and her grandpa goes to the playground and on the swings. i think he tells her a story of how she was born when a bird dropped her off, and saying that she's special, so that when she gets made fun of, she could say that this bird dropped her off.

eugene and jaewon looks through pictures. jaewon says that shinbi has eugene's eyes. eugene says that shinbi has jaewon's nose. then they say that shinbi is really good looking.

eugene takes jaewon to a place where there's a piano. they start to play chopsticks. after they finished, eugene plays cats craddle. chae yeon and ji hoon are having a discussion at ji hoon's place. chae yeon says "im going to try to take him away." ji hoon asks "who?" chae yeon says "seungwon (jaewon)." ji hoon gets mad because she's trying to interferre in a marriage relationship. she said "i told you, if things are taken away from me, i'll get them back. it's better for the both of us. i get sueng won when you get se jin (eugene)." (i think that's what she said). ji hoon says that she's crazy and that he wont just stand there if she tries to do something stupid.

eugene plays a song (i've heard it before but i dont know what it's called) while singing it. jaewon looks at her with this "special" look. after she's done jaewon asks if she and him should start to date, i think. [COLOnoreferalsyellow]

end of episode 8

This was such a cute series!! I luved it so much!!!!And the little girl's sooooooo cute!!! I just wanna give her a hug!!! LOL

can u pls post the summary from epi 1-18 plsss...i cant wait tp watch this series here in phil.....

Yeh~ shinbi is SOOO sweet!!! awwwwwwwwww... when i grow up.. i want a daughter like her!! haha...

i finished this a while back but still like it very much. the lil kid was adorable and KJW was really cute in here. the scenes wit him and eugene were funny to watch too. i was glad that this series had a happi ending.

the kid in the seires is soooooooooo cute! It's funny in the beginning but sad later on. It has a happy ending tho

Oh , I really like Kim Jae Won , he has an angel smile ; Is this film successfull in korea ? I hope it would be a good drama series .

shinbi is so cute. I love her and she can act hella good too. Cant believe such a small kid knows how to act..better than most adult actors and actresses. This is such a cute drama, just cant get enough of shinbi.

i was done w/ this series a few weeks ago..man im still thinking abot kim jae won and eugene and SHINBI...ahhh shinbi is like the cutest thing on earth!! This series is really worth watching...kim jae won and eugene's chemistry is just great!! My god this is like the best korean series i watch..i think it can beat kim sam soon..hahha i noe pplz gonna kill me=/

yep... i also love this drama the only thing that i didn't like is that eugene didn't end up w/ lee ji hoon (the other guy) i'm soory if i'm going to offend kim jae won's fans out there, but he really doesn't appeal much to me. i think euhene and lee ji hoon has good chemistry together rather than that of eugene and kjr... hey, this is only my opinion okei, i don't mean to offend anybody... but over all it's very good. another much watch korean drama... i especially adore shin bi

Oh , I mean that this fim is really a break through of Kim Jae Won . I like his act skill , it actually is a sopt type . Does this fim under rates in korea ?
Oh , i can't believe , KJW and Eunge won the most favoirte couple . And this film mentions alot of trouble of our youth .
I also think that hardly to find a girl to match with KJW , he looks like a little boy . When I saw him in Singapor , he 's so cute , but he looks very young , he 's very polite and friendly . He has alot of fans not only because his smile , it ' s also because of his well in person . I belive he ' s a decent actor and a modest person ., although he 's very boyish.

i downloaded this drama becuase i had nuthing to do and just wanted any kind of entertainment. i wasnt expecting much from this drama... but i guess i was still touched by Shinbi's character. she was just too cute! over all the drama was kind of bleh. but Shinbi was GREAT!

I liked the series a lot... Thought it was a more fresher idea of a series.... Actually sorta gives you a scene of what would happen if you have an accident with someone and have a baby.. Sorta scary what you'll go through but then when the 5-year old Shin-Bi comes out makes me want a daughter like her.

I was really hoping that Eugene would get with LJH

He's so handsome.. and so nice to her..

Dont think KJW is cute ..

Hated HEJ's character

and I loved Shinbi !!!

lolssss i just finished watching this series like last week or so? iono i forgot but yeah this drama is worth watching! shin bi is soooo adorable when she did that i love you sign!
eugene was reallyyy pretty and funny at first but when she cutted her hair it was like WHOAAA!! but as the drama went her hair was quite pretty ! lols
LJH was HOOTTTT!! no doubt ahahaha

i got intrigued that Eugene and Lee Ji Hoon were a couple when this series was aired....

have to find out about this... have to watch it.... when will this series be shown in ABS-CBN?

i totally agree...shinbi is sooooooo cute...did u know...that they were going to kill shinbi off?? but then the people in the forum (i think it's da MBS forum) were like don't kill her off!!! and so she's saved...lolz...

i've watched wonderful life from start to finish and i really, really love this tv series.It's really a fell good tv series it can make you laugh and make you cry especially on their scenes with Shin Bi. At first i've watched the drama because it stars my fave Eugene ang Lee Ji Hon. But it's now one of my faves not because my favorite stars are in the drama but because of the story. I relate on the story because there were so scenes that's really happening i my life...IRENE

This serie is starting on indosiar in Indonesia at 5 pm on the 13th of september monday to friday. Im so looking forward to watching this!!!!!

Wonderful life is now released with English subs on yesasia.com.
But it's really expensive! Sigh~

But it is well worth watching!



Here is a cute pic of the cast ^__^

credits: ses4ever

the little girl shinbi is so so so good and cute. her eyes are so big and the hair style is very cute. suits her very well. sometimes i find her more mature than the parents.

i was so suprised to find out that Lee Ji Hoon and Eugene once had a relationship...i only know about Park Yong Ha's relationship with her when Loving You was aired here in the Philippines...but i think Lee Ji Hoon and Eugene look good together than Yong Ha sorry guys!

Yes i was also surprised!I already finished the series...it still isn't being aired in the philippines but you could buy the cd at divisoria...hehe

I watched this tv series last month. It's so good. I really like it. It is the best one among the tv series i have watched in this year. It is one of my favourite kdramas. All of family acted very well. Kim Jea Won, Eugene and their little girl "Shin-bi", they all are cute. It's really "Wonderful Life".

wonderful life came after save the last dance? really? i'm surprised because eugene looks older in save the last dance for me...it one of the most exciting movies for me...i loved save the last dance for me...i thought that both the mains were wonderful and they do have chemistry together...i haven't watch wonderful life yet, but i starting to really like eugene...

I am up to chapter 14 and am really addicted to this! it starts off happy and now its reaching a turning point. i waited forever to see eugene and Kim Jae Won get together i find it quite similar to Full House (which I loved, maybe more than this one as Full House was really fresh and original when I saw it)

Similarites include:
- both main chars met on a plane, sat next to each other while travelling to another country
- the lead female bumps into the other handsome rich guy in awkward circumstances
- forced marriage with prenuptials
- handsome rich guy likes female lead
- hubby (Kim Jae Won and Rain) both like another girl who happens to be gorgeous
- the gorgeous other girl likes BOTH guys and cant decide which one she wants

theres more im sure but just cant think at the moment!

Oh , i like Wonderful life alot , In my opinion , it really better than Full House . Not because i like Kim Jae Won . When I saw this film , I become more mature . I know that my parent love me alot , although sometime they complain me with my grand parents . Thanks Jae Won , thanks eugene , and thanks shinbi . All of you make me love my family more and more .

yes i agreed with u, lee ji hoon and eugene the perfect match, i love lee ji hoon , he's so handsome, and gentle, i like his body language gentle and kind, it just melt my heart, i wish he has a lots of chances for being actor in many series coming to our screen, to satify my needs. good luck eugene and lee ji hoon.

This is a interesting story, Kim Jae Won is so beautiful and sweet, and Shinbi is sooooo cutie, you'll never feel bored if watching Shinbi acted.

SHINBIIIIIIIIIIII ... I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOUuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!!!!!! SHES soooooooooooooooooo cute!

man but those scenes where she was getting her treatment were hardcore =( n that scene where her chick died was intolerable =(((((((((((((((((

Oh , I don't think Lee Ji Hoon and Eugene the perfect match . In the WL , he is a good person , he 's very nice to eugene because it's the character of him in this film . Ha ha...I always like KJW , and wen i saw this film , i love him more and more . Wen see him in Wonderful life as a child-father . and in his CF HANGTEN , he looks like a good , a sweet , and a funny father . I hope that the future baby of him will be look like Shinbi . Jae Won , ShinBi , and Eugene actually a funny family .

i really liked this drama..well maybe bcos of shinbi's presence. but KJW n eugene were also great in the drama.. esp KJW! i think his character matured a lot n i think the story of this series reflects lreality .

Watched this one in one marathon sitting. Cried buckets when Shinbi was having a hard time with the treatment. I like this series. Kind of different , more realistic. ANd there are lessons to be learned about love, responsibility and the reality of having a child. It is worth it to watch this one.

This series was great. Eugene and Kim Jae Won made a great couple. The plot touched on a sensitive subject matter and I like that. A show that had some reality. At times, I just wanted to murder KJW's character. Such a great actor, I must say. Oh, Shinbi was just so adorable. My tears ran dry when Shinbi had to go through all that treatment. Thank goodness it was a happy ending.

i love the girl in this drama...her acting was so good..it's amazing how she can act like this when she's so little

OMG i just finished watching the movie and a like Shinbi a lot...........
wuah she's so cute......
anibodi can tell me what her real name is.......
and do hyun wuah.....his lips are sexy...such a sexy..sexy man hahahahha......

Hehehe~ I think Han Seung Wan is nicer than Do Hyun~ although~ Do Hyun is a very sweet guy~~ ^__^

Shinbi is adorable!
