My Golden Life

I'm surprised to see the relatively weak ratings of this series. The emotional intensity, the acting, the subtleties, the twists in the script etc. are absolutely brilliant. Yes it's not a 'quick fix' pleaser of the receptive senses, but that's exactly what makes it special. The casting is perfect, a stunning production in so many aspects.

This is a long series of 52 episodes and has more then it's fair share of crazy plots and coincidences that are common in most K dramas. Having said that the acting from all the cast, storyline and direction hold your attention and the excellent pacing means you look forward to where the story is going. The main drama is about a hard done by contract worker from a poor family becoming embroiled with the son of a chaebol, but there are plenty of other sub plots with the other characters that will have cheering, booing or being sad.

I've watched many Korean series and I just loved the storyline of this one!! My favourite series so far.

💞 from Australia.

This is a good watch. At first, I didn't get what the writer was trying to say in the story, but later, I found it so worthwhile and I.learned so much it.made me think better because the arguments that was presented here were pretty much challenging. The actors were great, they are all deserving of praise for a well-justified presentation of their characters. Park Si Hoo became a favorite of mine after this because I liked how he expresses the emotions of the character here. I am looking forward to his future projects.

Shin Hye-sun is already a favorite since Wok with Love and Thirty at Seventeen. Now I have started Angel's Last Mission.

Please rate fairly. Look first into the whole plot before judging.

This series is a very sensible one.

This is a remarkable series. It kept me glued for the whole of it's amazing 52 hour running time.

As so often, Shin Hye-sun is the most compelling reason to watch this. She invests all of her many emotional scenes with so much sincerity and truth that not once does she ring a false note. The same high praise cannot be extended to every one of her co-actors. However, some of those that appear to start weakly do become more compelling as the series progresses, perhaps because their character's challenges demand more of them as the plot thickens.

I am now faced with filling a "My Golden Life" sized hole in my viewing schedule! Only my faith in the strengths of K drama make me optimistic!
