My Golden Life

Deeply profound portrayal of family dynamics, particularly between Parents and children. The story spell bindingly appeals to my heart. My golden life is like SIX FEET UNDER Drama where you get to see amazing character building and in depth insights of family life. You need a mature taste to enjoy this. I am someone who has seen wonderful STILL 17, so I like rom coms. But my beautiful life absorbs you in a whole different feeling. This drama is not as sweet as an ice cream , but as healthy as an apple for your heart, yes it has a nice tangy taste to it as well.

You need to appreciate the unbelievable AMAZING acting by Shin Hye-Sun who plays Jian. In fact she is the main reason I started to watch this, after watching incredibly funny and emotional STILL 17. what an actress.. Wow. She deserves the highest recognition among Korean actresses. The actor who plays Jian's dad is another magical actress who speaks thousands words just by using his eyes.

Watch it. This is a gem.

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.

Binge watched 52 episodes. Lots of insights into Korean way of life and charming characters No one in the world does soap better than korea

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!

This show has everything... laugh out loud moments, cringe moments, spit out your coffee moments and moments where you'll demolish a box of tissues. I have given it a 9/10, the only reason it misses a point is for the fact it's 52+ hours long, and some of the sets are very cheap and nasty (like the supposedly rich peoples' house where the wallpaper pattern is so mismatched you can't unsee it, and they strangely all drive Nissans).

The story really does show the divide between the mega rich and the struggling and just how awful and judgemental people can be without even realising it. It also shows unimaginable hardship and successes and truly is a joy to watch, even for the absurd bits.

If you have almost 2.5 days of your life to spare (when you put it altogether), watch this.
