i really want to see this series in subs!!! I saw the first 2 episodes and it's pretty good. I understand the vietnamese part but not the korean. Plus when the main actress spoke in vietnamese, I had a hard time understanding too so. But I think this series is great. I heard that it's 50 episode long.

[MzKranky]

I heard this drama has good ratings in Korea. I really enjoyed watching Hanoi's Bride because it's short and sweet, but dang...this serie is 50 episodes long??? I'm afraid it's too long for my taste because long drama seems to be very draggy.

ppl who've watched this...please let me know if this is worth a try...thanks...

[MzKranky]

ahh...guess not many ppl in this forum are interested this drama...

I've watched up to 12 episodes w/English sub...although I was really hesitated to start because of the 50 eps...but I really enjoyed it so far. The pace just seems right...not draggy at all...

One thing that bugged me is the lead actresses...sometimes I find the way she talked and act is really annoying...but it's understandable since they wanted her to be a Viet girl (which I don't think Viet girl actually acted that naive)...hopefully as the drama unfold...she will become confident and more feminine.....

[wsofia]

I like this drama too...I've watched till episode 14 with Eng subs, it's great seeing how she fought to be together with Ahjushi...
Can't wait to see what will happen next.

[earthling127]

I didn't even know the total episode was 50 when I started to watch it until after I got to like episode 10 or so. Then I was like oh crap 50 episodes?! I didn't stop though because I'm just curious of what would happen. I guess it's sort of reasonable to be 50 episodes.. since healing takes time.. especially when it comes to love and trusting others etc.

I'm on episode 17 and it's getting interesting.. it's starting to show the other evil girl's side of the story. Oh and I think she talks weird because in the drama she's not fluent in Korean yet and is still learning so the tone is a little off.

[simplyalways]

im currently watching this drama and i simply love the storyline..i cried almost in every episode..the actors and actresses did an awesome job at acting..this is a highly must watch drama..i recommend that everyone should watch this drama..it is sad that not alot of people are sharing their views in this topic...

Aww.. I'm not at the swimming pool scene yet >_<. They kissed?! I should hurry up and catch up.

[VLinh]

Wee! they are going to talk alitlebit in vietnamese too? how cool...Now there is something that i can understand too hehe...=P

[luvshe]

i haven't start watch this series yet..
coz it has lots episode...made me quite lazy to watch...
Is this series worth to watch?is it really that nice?

[cazzia]

So far, it's addictive. If you like Pure 19, you'll like Golden Bride too - as heartwarming and touching.

But there're criticisms abt the lead actress - a half Vietnamese, abt her acting though, that it's exaggerated. You'll find that both leads (Lee Young Ah and Song Chang Ui) aren't good-looking, unlike Koo Hye San and Suh Ji Suk in Pure 19, of course.

However, I find the intricating plot makes up for this. And I especially like the close relationship between the mother-in-law and Jin Joo. Also the earlier part, when Jin Joo was a pillar of support for Jun Woo and how she helped him overcome his phobia.

Now the drama is going to be extended from 50 to 70, and I'm anticipating what Ji Young is going to do to take vengeance.

[MadHatter]

omg i can't wait to watch this drama. omg from 50 to 70 episodes? T_T....i think im going to have to buy the box set if that is so much to dload! lol...

i feel that the main girl who plays the vietnamese girl is cute and pretty!

she though reminds me of someone on the AF forum though...RIZ XD haha...

unique storyline.

[ayamefan13]

I have uploaded (raw HQ) videos of Episodes 39-52 on my Golden Bride veoh channel: http://www.veoh.com/channels/gb2007

I update it to the latest episodes every week, so check it out! ^^~

It's a really good drama, even after so many episodes, I always want to watch the next one.

Two characters probably a lot of us don't like too much: Ok Ji Young and Mr.Kim

[s_and_y]

simplyalways: thanks for the cute photos ^^
MadHatter: i agree with you~ lee young ah is pretty and the fact shes korean and not viet, i can still understand her viet ~ and her viet writing is pretty good as well~

[they have uploaded around 50 eps already] but the ep15 part 4 isnt working so i cant watch it yet =\ and im capped already from watching other dramas and cant even load a 4 minute video '' have to wait till next month but ppl should watch! even tho its .. like 70 episodes... its really good ^^ although i dont relaly like the ji young and young min bits, i love jinjoo&junwoo ^^ so cute~
even if it takes me months to finish this series, ill still watch =D & now that ive seen little previews of ep 17 and 18, i want to watch more and more!

Spoiler

^ Actually, the WITHS2 has subbed up until episode 54 now. You can check d-addicts and download the softsubs.

[tatjana]

this drama sounds interesting, could anyone tell me if its a more humorous or rather serious drama, worth watching??

[YingYi]

ah i just have to say i love this drama. I didn't watch it for the main character but hee chul and yeo woon makes such a cute couple. I got so mad that hee chul left and didn't even call once in four years. T-T This was such an amazing drama!

[mela]

loved the series from the first time i heard about it till i finished the last episode which is episode 64, i still find it enjoyable and also the ost is superb!!!

[:~: Summer :~:]

i find golden bride a really nice drama, it was well-balanced.. cast exposure, lines, character developments were superb hearing how it is 64-episodes long may sound boring.. but i assure you that it is worth every episode

loved it! XD

[Puffins]

Thks for the info.

I had wanted to watch this after seeing the storyline but then m still waiting for the complete
serial to be made available on VCD/DVD.

after seeing the comments posted, I m really looking forward to seeing this show.

I love Pure 19 but I don't like golden bride. I think their chemistry are not there. I agree that the two main lead are not good looking at all. I have watched till episode 20 but I don't think I will continue watching further because the storyline seems to be a bit stupid (sorry for those who love golden bride but I just don't like it)

[Puffins]

I saw some scenes at the video rental shop and am really intrigued by the storyline....

Its different from other K-dramas which i had came across...
Umm.... the main leads may not have very outstanding looks but after watching them for a while, i actually thin they are good looking T.T

btw, which episode was the swimming scene?

[ruthy_1]

i think it's on episode 18...
i am currently watching this series in TV 5 every saturday and sunday 7pm here in philippines love it!

[joano]

Golden Bride won an award at the recent 2008 Korean Drama Festival

Congratulations to SCU and LYA and the rest of the cast

[Puffins]

glad to hear that.

Congratulations to the team for all the hard work.

I had finished watching this as well. I must say it gets even more interesting as the story goes on. I do eny the scenes betw the 2 leads, thin their chemistry is good

[joano]

Once again congratulations to the team GB won the excellent drama award at the recent International Drama Festival in Tokyo Well done LYA & SCU

I had enjoyed this drama & thought of re-watching some parts

Would be good if they release the DVD version of this drama as well.

VCD seems too cumbersome for storage lol....

I liked those photo shots which was shown after each episode. Some are real-life photos i think but i m not sure if they are related to the crew or just shots which the crew had gathered @the filming sites.

Hope they can release some documentaries on those behind the scenes as well....

[kyung-jin aoi]

wow so many watchers of golden bride! that's good!

i've seen it first in a local channel here in the philippines and my dad, my brother and sister and i are very hooked on the drama. it has a two-days schedule of airing sat and sun.

[IKAAA.is.da.neym.]

woowooooww! this drama is really nice.. at first, i only watched it because there's a KIM HEECHUL on it..



but as i keep on watching it, i started getting obsess with it.

the story is really amazing or sorta TOUCHING.. however, i didn't finish it because it's quite long and i left my country when the drama is still aired in the middle-line of the story.. so its kinda annoying.. ANYWAY, heenim's acting skill is really good!!! EVERYBODY's acting skills is really really nice no bad or poor at all..

[sUshi_masterx3]

Pretty good, I'm viet, so my mom was so into it when we watched this, and she commented on all the mistakes on the viet part. I didn't care, thought it was touching.

[qtbell]

This drama was good, but it was kinda dragging a little bit toward the end, but it really worth watching.

[luna_2007]

I really love this drama series. Especially for Lee Young Ah and Song Chang Ui. Love Hee Chul also
