My Golden Life

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!

Worth watching however the plot becomes so stupid in the end. Grandpa's company and influence are so powerful that nobody can do anything about it?!??? Main male character is a well skilled, executive. He studied abroad, got an MBA but cannot catch a break because of grandpa. He has friends in the US and Europe but still cannot catch a break because of grandpa. Main character is looking for investors but does not think to go to Grandpa's competitors??? Is grandpa god in Korea? Main character cannot find investors because of grandpa and does not think to leave the country??? Can't he just buy a ticket????
