Outono em Meu Coração

GaolDong Hwa(Autumn Story) is a moving drama about love, family relationship and conflicting issues within a family. A tragic love story, moving and exceptionally crafted. The cinematography is very good and the acting prowess of the actors are at their best. Song Seung Hun, Song Hye Gyo, and Won Bin are very good!!!. The supporting casts are excellent. The musical score fits the very emotion of the film and its screenplay. This film can be compared to some of the best love story films ever made for television. Highly recommended and a must see love story!!!!!!!!!!

This series is excellent. In Korea it is known as "A Tale Of Autumn" or "Autumn's Fairy Tale" but when this TV drama was broadcast in Taiwan, the title was changed to "Endless Love". This moving TV series describes love in its various manifestations: love for family, unconditional love, and loving endlessly and is guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes. The lead female character faces life's misfortunes with steadfastness and optimism, demonstrating her strong character and true inner beauty. It is equally loved by audiences in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Beijing & even in the Philippines. This phenomenal series is very in demand here in the Philippines, actually it is still in broadcast. Now, it has a 3rd run on Philippine Television. Never in my life i ever seen such series. All the actors did a great job, they are all acting wise and considered famous not only in S.Korea but also in many parts of Asia. I truly adore Song Hye Kyo because she is so beautiful and well-suited for the role. I will say this endlessly that this series is perfect. No other series can compare.

i just love the girl... that's all :-)

The plot is not really unique, stories like that is very common here... although i still commend it for its thorough simplicity and no-twist plots. The actresses are very much reserved. From the beginning till the end of the series, you wont see anything from them except their face and hands unlike those from Mexican telenovelas. I guess some of Korea's culture and traits are notably and surprisingly similar with us. But the most astonishing thing about the story is its super simple plot. I can't help thinking 'is it the first time Korean's made such love stories'. In this modern story tellings, most dramas would contain so many add ons to complicate things for a series... mostly leads to ruining the entire plot... well well...

but i still love the girl...

This drama by Suk-ho Yoon was a hit not only in Korea, but throughout Asia. It was the center of the Korean Wave(a cultural craze for Korean TV, music and movies in East Asia) attracting many tourists to Korea as well as Korean actors to Taiwan and other countries.

It's not uncommon to see attractive young heroines in tragic situations, and tangled love situations, but it's more than that. It's about family, strength, and love that just cannot be. The ending is somewhat abrupt, but up to that part, it's mostly good.

Hye-gyo Song's lines such as "I forgive your sins," became a great hit, and the theme music "romance de amor," a Spanish folkmusic that appeared in the movie "Jeux Interdits" breaks your heart whenever it comes out.

The scenery, which takes mainly in the Kang-Won province in the mountainous eastern part of Korea, is wonderful - a trait of Yoon's dramas.

As the first part of the three season-themed dramas, the first part "Gaeul dong hwa" is the best and most original. Personally, the child actors should be highly acclaimed for their acting.

. . .to fast-forward through the countless flashbacks and slow (if beautiful) establishing shots. Expect a lot of repetition in themes and even plot events. There's heavy foreshadowing, and the final two episodes still come to a fantastically melodramatic finish.

The basic premise concerns two girls switched at birth, one being from a rich household, the other from a struggling, poor one. They're in grade school before the truth is discovered. In Korea blood-ties are extremely important, so despite the pain each family experiences, the girls are restored to their "rightful" places. Years later, the older brother from the rich family searches for the sister he knew as a child-- and the drama ensues from there.

The cast is extraordinarily attractive, and the acting is-- all right. Won Bin apparently made quite a name for himself with his part as a jaded-player-with-a-heart-of-gold.
