I found I'm Sorry, I Love You in 2006 and fell completely in love with it! The acting is sublime from all the thespians, leads and supporting cast. I first saw the Korean film A Tale Of Two Sisters on the recommendation of a friend and loved the performance of Su Jeong Im. I wanted to watch her in other projects she had completed so went looking for some and found I'm Sorry, I Love You ... and then fell in love with So Jisub next! Now in 2025 I have watched over 1400 Korean dramas! It's amazing how addictive most Korean dramas are. Don't miss the classics like this one.

I'm Sorry, I Love You is a maudlin story not balanced by uplifting qualities, in my opinion. Several times per episode you would have to endure one or more characters collapsing and being taken to hospital. Many scenes occur in hospital rooms. It's repetitive and a waste of your time because those characters will get up and walk around and even run around again to keep the story moving after the repetitive pauses. But the story doesn't move very far. I believe I could describe 16 episodes to you in a few sentences. Most of the time is taken up by the characters pushing and pulling one another, but like ships passing in the night rarely making meaningful contact. A perfect example is a scene in which most of the main characters are happily gathered for a joyful occasion completely unaware of their missing family member/friend's vulnerability and desolation. They should have known. It never gets better than that. Do you want to watch a program about that? On a different occasion another character finally says - I love you - over the phone! During 16 episodes a certain character might share only one or two thoughts with another that move the plot. You would wonder what took so long. I was intrigued by the pushing and pulling and I expected resolution - finally - but I was frustrated and not satisfied in the end.

This series is full of cliches but still somehow it tells a very special and realistic story that finds a way to touch your heart and God... hurts it! The acting, chemistry between the leads and the soundtrack (snow flower) was all so good!

The story takes you in and before you know, you are feeling that broken heart pain! In the last episodes I cried like crazy. I even asked myself "Why the hell am I doing this to myself?" But I couldn't stop watching it.

This is my favorite drama series so far!

Have you ever listened to a TV series intro which would make you cry even the series ended 15 years ago? I can tell you that this TV series was shown in 2004 but its audiences would still wet their eyes in 2019 when the theme song "Snow Flake" started.

Yes, I agreed that too much tears, sickness, coincidence and amnesia happened in South Korean TV series and made you feel déjà vu. But this one was exceptional because it starred by So Ji Sub.

So Ji Sub was one of the top actors in South Korean and all his works would move you just by his eye sight, his body movement or his voice. His character in this TV series was natural born tragedy. Audiences would feel for him no matter he was good or bad. When he laughed, we laughed. When he cried, we cried. This TV series was unofficially voted as fans' all time favorite. Want a good cry? You come to the right place.

Take a chance to watch this TV series and you will not regret for the time spent on it.

This is one of my all-time favorite Korean dramas (along with Padam Padam; Rooftop Prince; Missing You; Crash Landing on You; One Spring Night; and Goblin). If you are engrossed by sweetly acted, sad shows with some mystery, can suspend some disbelief to swallow the intriguing story lines, and want to cleanse out those old tear ducts, you will enjoy this show! If you haven't seen the others yet and are here because you liked this one, find them and watch!
