My friend recommend this drama to me or i will not watch it. The female lead is not pretty is only the 2nd lead in secret garden. Male lead is a bit too fat. But turn out the male lead's acting is superb. Second male lead act equally good. To be a false and handicapped husband, his look is not kind of typical villian, but is a sick man that will arouse your sympatby. The 2 marks is deducted because i do not appreciate very much acting of female lead. Seems she is of the same expression for most of the time.

But overall it is still a splendid drama. The plot is creative and is not illogical. Once you begin you cannot stop seeing it.

I found this series on Netflix and it is re titled "This Is My Love". I enjoyed the 16 episodes a lot. The male lead, Ju Jin Mo, is a great actor who is able to convey his emotions very well. The scenes portraying the hero and heroines in their youth and as young adults were wonderful too.

Giving 9 stars because I really enjoyed it. I usually avoid watching dramas that involve children paternity rights however when I started this I didn't realize it had that element in the theme or I wouldn't have watched it. I watched the whole drama anyway once I found out since I was already into it and it was bothering me the whole time that our main male lead got robbed of raising his own son for 10 years. It is such a sad, sad unfortunate story but was glad to see how things turned out in the end. I was very disappointed in one element of the ending though - which is my reason for not giving this 10 stars - the son said that the next time he saw his real birth father he would call him "DAD" and we never got to see that. I think that should have been included in the ending; the female lead could have walked up holding his hand and he could have called him dad or something along those lines. This important part was left unfinished and left the viewer with a hole in their heart.

I think the story was simple but the acting pf the characters seem realistic. I like the love scene on the stairs because it is so sweet and I can feel their emotions. I feel bad for the other guy though. It is very realistic to choose the one you love than the one you pity, but still it hurts.

If you don't want to watch a love story, then don't watch this drama, because it's a pure example of the genre. It's about two people who meet as young teenagers, then are separated. The guy spends the next 20 years looking for his lost love. The lead characters are played by 3 different actors/actresses in 3 time periods ten years apart.

The adult actress is Kim Sa Rang, who was Miss Korea in 2000, and is still a beauty.. It's a really sweet story, one that hooked me on k-drama, and if you like this genre, you should like the series. Reviews on other sites were much more positive than the ones on this site.
