Introduction:
This drama involves three families.

The Han family:  Mr. Han lives with his second wife and four daughters.  Two of his daughters are from his first wife and the younger two daughters are from his second wife.

The Choi family has Mr. and Mrs. Choi plus two sons.

The Lee family has Mr. Lee plus two sons.

Factoid:
Son Hyun Joo (Min-ki) and Lee Ja Young (Keum-bong) won KBS Best Supporting Actor and Actress Awards in 2002 for their acting in this drama.   
Learn Korean:
joha (joh-a)= like
yeopi (yeop-i) = beside/next to
dangsin (dang-sin) = you
In English, to say "besides you," the preposition (besides) is placed before the object (you).  In Korean, the order is reversed.  The preposition (yeopi/beside) is placed after the object (dangsin/you).  Since the "preposition" in the Korean language is placed after the object, it is technically a postposition rather than a preposition.

Variations in Drama Name:
The Korean title of this drama translates to something like, "I like to stay next to you."  Drama titles used by KBFD-TV frequently are a simplified version of the English translation.  So even if you know the Korean title of a drama ahead of time, it is sometimes difficult to predict what KBFD-TV will use as the English title.
Other variations:
It's Nice Being Next to You

Writer:  Jung Sung Hee (Golden Era/Kukhee)
