I saw only two episodes of this show and laughed my ass off, it was so weak. It copies the American and Western European soaps in everything, the only thing missing is the annoying laugh machine after every line that the creators wanted to be funny. The only positive thing I can say about the show is that it's still better than the so-called reality shows. I'm not sure whether it's better than the South American soaps we had to endure in the past years. The show also proves that some airheads in Budapest don't know anything about their own country, in one of the two episodes I've seen one of the scenes was set in a village and an old lady was wearing a folk dress that was probably last worn in the 18th century. It was damn funny.

I don't really get what people like about it... It is just terrible and boring.

The actors wouldn't be that bad, if it wasn't for the poor story-line. Maybe it was worth watching some years ago but they can't come up with anything new nowadays. Furthermore, I can't understand why it has to be so unnatural. Probably one of the worst series I have seen....(or looked into)

Don't watch it! Don't waste 30 minutes of your life even on one episode of such a far-fetched series ! Yes, better than reality shows, but I reckon it doesn't deserve much attention.

For all god's sake, who were those that let this trash on the screen?! The stupid and sorry thing is the fact, that nowadays this is the most popular TV-transmission in Hungary. Millions gaze it every eve, and fan for the so-called 'stars'. Acting performance? Nowhere. Dramaturgy? Even the basic logic is missing, so stupid the storyline, which is similar to a chewing gum - although somehow they have to fill that terrible 30 minutes every night, don't they?

Now that it's over after 23 years, i can give it a 2...

Although there are no Academy Award level performances in this local Hungarian program (not that there are in any soap opera anywhere), still this show manages to catch the attention of over 6 million viewers across the country every evening. The plot lines are situations that can and do arise in daily life, and I find myself looking forward to each succeeding episode. In september of 2003, I was fortunate enough to meet two of the show's stars, Otto Kinizsi and Anita Deutsch. I watch it every evening and enjoy it a great deal. I hope that this show remains on air for many seasons to come! A great watch and if anyone is curious you should check it out!
