I have been watching dramas for many years and I haven't been that moved since...I don't even recall. At the beginning it just looks like your typical funny/romantic/fantasy drama but, and this is a "BUT", it has so much more to offer. The topics that are covered are deeper than thought and anyone can relate to them, in the sense that it is a society issue. The outcome is just "dazzling", and could leave anyone speechless. To finish, the 3 main actors are also great and especially Kim Hye Ja, she completely deserved her award. Recommended 100%

I think it is too philosophical a drama for the intended audience and slow in the process but nothing is what it seems in at least the first 10 chapters, it has a plot twist from another world and it is not radiant, it is nostalgic but wonderful.

If you want typical romantic kdramas or that kind of fantasy ones, this drama is not for you. It has such a deep meanings and wonderful acting. The surprising ending is the best and you feel that the whole experience has been changed for awhile. I just love it. Watch it if you feel that something doesn't make sense, wait for the end.

One of best TV series I've ever watched... truly an emotional rollercoaster of how life can be surprising. I'm not going give any synopsis of this series and ruin the surprise your truly inn for.

If you're a Drama lover, this is the show for you. It takes you through the series of life's ups and downs. It's heartbreaking, you might bleed in tears but it sort of makes you realise many things about your loved ones done for you. And life is so fragile and passing so fast, we don't even realise it.

So take it easy, live your everyday to the fullest. Tomorrow can wait, past is gone, live your present completely devoted to happiness and things that matter

This drama series is not a typical romance / fantasy series... it's one that explores our lives and deeper experiences we take from them. One of the reviews mentioned that the comedy was 'odd', but I believe that these lighthearted moments were meant to be there... Despite challenges, the comedic aspects helped highlight that the lives of these characters wasn't all pain, but that they also had their moments of fun. In my opinion, the drama showed us how we wish it was either all dark or all comedy, but it isn't..because that's reality. In fact, it's what makes life so meaningful, so beautiful, and worth holding onto. It shows just how easy it is to dismiss our brighter moments. Beautifully written. I saw it a second time, knowing what to expect, which made me appreciate all the little scenes that was included in the drama. You can not call this drama 'slow', especially when it is only 12 episodes...it was all exquisitely made.

What an extraordinary telling of how someone's life can be told by so many different perceptions. I absolutely loved this story line. It was filled with so many emotions, from the stories being told of each character and than woven into a tapestry of a love story on so many different levels. I love the actors and actresses that used their talent to bring across to the audience the essence of what the writers wanted us to feel and understand regarding the central topic and how they wanted it portrayed and felt by those who watched this show. Tissues are needed especially for the last 2 episodes. One of my favorite shows.

Gayle Holdaway - Canada.

The curfews and police brutality were real. The fashions and hairstyles were real. It was almost shocking to see the gender roles so accurately portrayed - not according to today's stereotype but how they were in reality, back then.

I think I just marked myself as a bit older than the average KDrama viewer.

That puts me in a position to confirm the depicted ageism and snide comments as real and ongoing. The need for elders to be seen as still valuable and wanted. The callousness of grown children who, for decades, nurse their grievances and stubbornly refuse to see their parents as people, not just as their mommies and daddies - all of it, so true.

From a technical perspective, this was spot-on. The writing, the acting - OMG! The acting!, the camera angles and cinematography: all excellent.

The story: mind blowing. Stunning. Jaw-dropping. A must-see.

P. S.: bring lots of tissues.

The drama tried to catch emotion but only resulted average performance compared to many good dramas. The characters scene and story of the noodle shop lady with the brother were disasters and total failure nonsenses that wasted viewers precious time and wasted film. What on earth did the writer and the fool director were thinking?

The first episode was a good pickup but as you watch further, every episode deteriorated further. Episodes 10/12 and 11/12 were the worse that totally wasted viewers time. They tried to major catch sentiments in the last episode but still only average, nothing big deal. The last episode ahs some minor nonsenses but still able to swallow but episodes 10 and 11 were unable to swallow at all.

Overall this drama can be watched if no other dramas to watch because 12 episodes is a fast drama to finish. If this drama was above 20 episodes, I will not watch it.

This story had me crying my own trauma away. It is so beautiful, deep and it makes you think twice about how you address things, your family and the meaning and purpose of life in general. I wish I could hug everyone in the staff and cast. I am so grateful to them. The acting is just perfect, I don't know much about Korean history but it seems that the 70s were accurately portrayed, also the gender roles and the deep sense of responsibility wives have towards their husband's affairs and family. Even so, this is such a universal story. This is definitely not a typical drama but watch it and enjoy it at heart.

Negatives: Tended to drag on & on (four long DVDs). Confusing at times w/flashbacks. Difficult to follow who's who while also watching subtitling. Then there's going back in time - not possible at all, sorry, future yes. Although a watch as time travel tool is an easily understandable visual it just makes zero sense - but who cares. Positives: Good acting. Very philosophical about relations & aging. Death is quite real & personable.

This series started off well enough with a good sense of intrigue and humor. The characters were funny and likeable for the most part and there are some recognizable cast. Then the sudden "twist" and recalibration during the final chapter ruined it. I see what they were going for but I hated the last few episodes since everything before it was a lie. It was like having the rug pulled by the storytellers and I didn't find it at all clever nor heartwarming. Just plain lazy storytelling that some of these Korean dramas fall trap to. 12 episodes of wasted time and wasted effort of an otherwise good cast.

Do not watch this series if you are looking for a typical romance/fantasy kdrama for light entertainment. Coming into the show I knew there would be something unexpected and unconventional but it still took me by surprise.

I agree with another reviewer who said the comedy and much heavier and darker portions do not always blend well. Following the plot and time jumps is also not easy, resulting in frequent confusion in the storyline. However, the one constant throughout the entire show is the amazingly lovable character of the old lady and the fantastic performance of the actress Kim Hye-ja. If it were not for her, I probably would have dropped the show in the middle. I hanged on through the disappointments and sadness because I believe there must be light at the end of the tunnel and I desperately wanted to see her happy.

Without spoiling anything, the 'big twist' comes towards the last few episodes but not at the very end, so it has plenty of time to properly develop its storyline till the ending. In this sense, after going through all the misfortune of our heroine and her family, and having many questions with the plot line unanswered, everything suddenly came together in a natural and believable way. Not bad for a fantasy drama!

I'll conclude by saying it is not easy to rate this show. It is not light entertainment by any means so your level of enjoyment will greatly depend on your ability to appreciate a good story told in a very unconventional way, despite its flaws.

The light in your eyes is an odd, surprising drama. It is not what is seemed to be. The story started as a comedy, then it turned into a fantasy drama, and, eventually, it all made sense. The dramatic, melodrama element was really good and the family dynamics touching and strong. The comedy element, however, could have been a bit less, as the story was very dark and sometimes it didn't blend well with it. I also enjoyed the slice of life concept. But the highlight of the drama was the performances that were really good by everyone in the cast, though the younger version of the leading lady kind of didn't match with her older version. Finally, the twist in the ending was probably one of the best twists I've ever watched. So, 8 out of 10.

I found this drama surprising and it was worth watching just for the amazing performances that the entire cast delivered. Truly exquisite. I could not score it 10/10 because I think it's not flawless plot wise but it's most certainly worth the 12 plus hours I spent watching it. Some really beautiful moments that will remain with me, and performances I won't forget. Beautiful.

If you're looking for a sci-fi drama & romance - this one's for you, but be careful, it's not all it seems. Director Suk Yoon Kim also directed "My liberation Diary", which accounts for the truly excellent, sometimes astounding screenplay, particularly pertaining to Hye Ja-Kim the old lady, played brilliantly by Kim Hye Ja. This really is a quality production, and the first couple of episodes are guaranteed to have you hooked. The only possible bone of contention (hence the 7) is the plot, that eventually...... produces glaring story contradictions, that, at first appear unresolvable. A more skillful or apt script would have inserted some well placed "Easter Eggs" to avoid such confusion, e.g.... as in the movie The Prisoner of Azkerban, with details ingenuously and seamlessly sewn into the story. With the absence of "big" clues in this drama's early episodes there's a tendency for the viewers to feel a little bit led up the garden path by the final episodes in the separation of fantasy from reality.

The Light in Your Eyes was an odd show that had some really triumphant and amazing episodes and moments, but it failed in a lot of other episodes - it honestly felt like 3 different shows mashed up into one. As another reviewer accurately pointed out, it was a fantasy, a comedy, and a melodrama. Unfortunately, I didn't feel that these three elements were blended seamlessly, but rather it felt like 3 shows, or even 3 plot arcs that turned out to be rather disconnected. The ending episode where the viewer finally knows what is really going on had the best of the 3 plots, and I feel that this element would have worked well as a movie instead of a show. Once you know the ending, most of the show feels rather pointless. The twist at the end definitely had an impact, but I feel like that was more because the prefacing episodes didn't really make that much sense, rather than because of carefully laid plot points.

Overall I thought this was well acted, the soundtrack is enjoyable and beautiful, but ultimately I was left a bit disappointed. I don't think I would recommend this show.

A very good show with wonderful story. Acting of all 3 lead actors is amazing. It tells u about life and old age. It should be a highly watched show as its truly lovely Ps U will cry in last 2 episodes

I literally cried with it. it was really beautiful and heartwarming
