Nice drama. Too many repetitive conversations. Too many storylines that never got finished. Too many characters that were introduced didn’t seem to have a contribution to the main story plot. Had a disappointing end.
almost cried when the child dong chul can’t speak and just do their sign language of him and his father. A must see korean drama.
“Unlike most people, I think this drama could have had MORE eps.”
Are you kidding me?.Would you tell me the last 10 eps what was all about? Nothing related to the story line.I did painfully watched toward the end.Commercial kill the plots.
the main plot, i think, was too predictable. however, the subplots managed to change the flow of the story. The star of this drama is dong chul. The actresses and actors did a very excellent job even the young ones.
I started this drama completely excited and the beginning blew me away. The child actors were wonderful and I discovered the fantastic Kim Bum. He deserved to win a Baeksang for this role for sure. However, once all the outside production drama began to occur, you can see it translate on screen. I didn’t understand why they would waste a talent like Lee Da Hae. I hung on just for her, hope and praying that her character would grow, but it never did. And I just never got over that disappointment. I stopped before she left and began reading summaries instead. Then I even stopped that. It just seemed so disjointed and frustrating to me. I did get to see some great actors, I just don’t think this drama was well written. And 50 episodes was just too long. That was the first time I tried such a long drama and I probably will never do it again. That’s how turned off it is.
This 50+ drama is definitely the best drama i have ever see.
All those 50+ is more on talk but this drama really shows the brotherhood and the importance of a family.
I have watched the whole drama with my family and guess what. They all love it. All ages. With its family and revenge motive, i really can’t help watching every episode even there are a lot of talking.
But if you really pay attention to the the script, a lot of things is actually hint in their scripts.
Only one word about this dramatic, exciting drama.
…Anxious…
I had personally watched this drama 2 times and i still feel tense.
Try thinking…
What if your brother is actually your enemy’s son. What will you do?
I thought the drama was OK. Not bad, but not spectacular. It was a bit long IMHO and it felt like it dragged.
Also, I don’t know if it’s just me, but I didn’t think Song Seung Hun’s acting was all that great. His acting was unconvincing, and felt a bit forced. Sometimes, I just couldn’t stand the scenes in which he was crying. I thought Kim Bum did a much better job at portraying the young Lee Dong Chul.
There are already a lot of reviews on this drama so I’ll try to keep mine short and to the point.
1- This drama is toooooo long but you know that, there are gonna be a lot of fast forward but if you don’t mind that then go ahead, watch it. It isn’t all that bad. Why?
2- The plot was good, heavy and serious, dark tone.
3- I see some improvement in acting in some actors and outstanding performances from others (again 50 plus episodes so there are a lot of time for improvement.)
4- It was beautifully shot, at least for the first 10 episodes or so and hopefully the curiosity will hold you ’til the end.
It isn’t my cup of tea so I haven’t watched it for the second time but who knows, you may find some hidden gems in it.
Unlike most people, I think this drama could have had MORE eps.
For me, I would sit down to watch an episode before bed and then 5 hours later fall asleep while still watching it!
Warning though, this drama is VERY dramatic, and there are times when you may want to stop watching for a few days just to calm down and so that your TV doesn’t end up out the window in a fit of frustration over one of the character stubborn ways lol
Speaking of stubborn.. Yang Chun Hee (Lee Dong Chul/Dong Wook’s mother) would probably have to be the worst offender.. Completely severing ties with people and chasing them away from her sons just because they become related to the ‘enemy’ (enemy being everyone in her eyes.. I swear.. lol)
Onto the main character.. Lee Dong Chul the filial son, gangster, business man, nice guy, perfect man etc lol. I don’t know what to say really.. Song Seung Hun is an amazing actor and pulled of the role more than perfectly. Everything he did was with great conviction and determination, a man full of morals and compassion.
Overall, the drama is really well made and the characters all fit in really well together. Unlike other dramas, there is so much action going on in East of Eden that you completely forget about those little seeds planted at the beginning of the drama such as the identity of Dong Chul’s true brother.
My heart raced from start to finish of this drama (even though the first few eps were a little slow) and although it may sound a little corny, this drama had a great effect on me as a person..
If even a little, I wish I could be like Lee Dong Chul in the way that he was so outgoing and compassionate about everything, and ofcourse his awesome body and fighting skills haha

This drama could have been a lot better if they cut it into 20 episodes. The initial story and ended was great, the middle was stupid. The middle of the drama, well actually, the majority of each episode consist of someone being kidnapped. It was pathetic. 4/10
LONG DRAMA and I actually watch all 56 episodes compared to people who watched the beginning, middle and end. It was really an excellent drama. However, it did not have to be that long. There were constant business talks and reckless scenes that could have been cut out for the sake of viewing purposes. There are countless revenges which causes a frustration factor when you watch this, so if you do not want to get frustrated, do not watch this. There 2 triangle love line between the three main and supporting characters, which is awesome but makes things very complicated. So in the long run, if you have time, watch it since its really good. If not, then save it for later.
Hmmmm what can I say about this drama…………….I left long before Lee Da Hae left the drama….that pretty sums this drama up for me. It was so interesting at first (ofcourse because of Kim Bum’s acting) but I have to agree with bebecass that there are way too many story lines that were developed that never blossomed. I was too disappointed in the drama and roles of the people in the drama that I gave up on the drama. I think I expected too much from this drama and so I got hurt when it didn’t meet my expectations. If you watch this drama will an open mind, maybe you will like it.
Excelent drama honestly cant be compared to others out there. The acting is completely well done and there are some many times when you feel yourself glued to the edge of your seat. yes it may seem repetative but so was jumong and that was also another great drama. dont knock it till you see it. action is in my opion very well choregraphed and the storyline stays with the main plot. no crazy twist or turns here. if you haven’t seen this watch it now.
this 50 ep drama should have been cut down to 20 ep. Too much repetitive conversations and too many unfocused storylines. The action is completely illogical. Nothing is as slick as Iris I guess. The main characters (4 of them) are fantastic and charismatic. Can’t help but feel you wasted a lot of time watching all 50 ep of drama.
