I do know that at least 2 of the bachelors are living in Mom's boarding house, but not sure about the other two. I ADORE Lee Kyu Han though and wouldn't mind a quirky romance, so I was all set to watch this the minute I heard about it. :P Plus the trailers are just crazy. I really liked Lee Young Eun in most of the roles I've seen her in (particularly Once Upon a Time in Saengchori), so hopefully she'll make the oldest sister more interesting than she sounds as the quiet "mother figure" of the lot.

The boarding house thing makes more sense but not entirely - does she shove her daughters into their bedrooms as condition of the rent? There's a word for such establishments, but it's not usually 'boarding house' :P

I think it's a crime LKH has never had a leading role before this, and Yunho and Kim Hyun Joong and Changmin and a bunch of other idols, who are excellent at idolling but suck at acting, all already have. Bizarre.

I honestly think this sounds like some sort of a female Ojakgyo Brothers and should be a KBS family drama of 50 eps :)

LOL one day the daughters come home and Mom goes, "Sorry, dear, I've rented your rooms out! You're just going to have to share. :D Pick one!"

Actually, LKH's been a lead before! He was paired with Kim Won Hee in Love Needs a Miracle, a little-known SBS drama from 2005. From what I remember he was sporting horrible flowery shirts and flare pants at one point, LOL. I have the drama somewhere with terrible Chinglish subs.

I'm glad they're not turning it into a 50 ep family drama, though. :P The problem with those family dramas is that they always get so long, draggy and makjang. I'm definitely in the mood for something fast-paced, quirky and cute right now.

Miracle sounds awful - I think I've reached my LKH love limit - I am not trying it :)

50 might be too much (the only 50 ep drama that didn't drag for me was Gloria) but 16 is a bit too little for four separate stories. They should have split the baby and gone for 24 :)

This looks so cute. So after years of playing either creepers or secondary guys he finally gets a lead role yay! I've always been a fan of his acting and I'm glad the drama is 16 episodes and not 100 something like I was expecting.

I know, about time the man got a break!

[dangermousie]

Heeee, not a big Austen fan. More of a Bronte gal myself.

I was sort of looking at this with a weary eye as I really don't have time for one more drama in my roster. Why do they all have to start now?! Wae?

I'll probably end up giving it a go anyway. Sigh.

I love that I am watching 4 airing dramas, want to watch one more, would watch another if there were subs, and also this one.

I loved him in Que Sera Sera better than Eric Moon. I wanted him to end with the heroine

[dangermousie]

I loved his character too. I wanted Eric with the heroine but him with his stepsis.
