as all korean dramas go, this series drags on unnecessarily for twenty episodes. the characters remain static throughout every episode. all the situations concocted in this series could only happen through huge, unlikely coincidences. this series is interesting in the beginning, but after the fifth episode it is a waste of time. if you've seen 'autumn story' this series is practically the same plot. the creator/writer/director/whoever needs to think of a fresh plot and stop reusing his material. everything that could go wrong, goes wrong. the characters are indecisive and none of them have a backbone. this series could have been cut down to five episodes and would have made everybody's life happier. your time would be better spent watching something else.
well, it is! it's roughly translated as 'Winter Sonata' and is probably the best korean drama i have seen, next to 'Endless Love' (which is directed by the same director of Winter Sonata). The scenery with the snow, and forest is just...beautiful. It's basically about two teenagers who meet, and fall in love...and then something happens. And 10 years later, they meet again, but there are a lot of obstacles in order for them to be together. You could really feel the characters' pain at what they're going through, especially the character played by Choi Ji Woo, who plays her part wonderfully. Bae Yong Jun, who plays her love, also does well, especially when he finds out about...not telling cause I don't want to spoil it! But it IS a typical love story, but it's REALLY good, so good that it became a a hit in Asia.
soo...what're you waiting for? Go watch it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this series, though I won't try to say that it is one of the best series I have seen. Far from it, actually. However, the acting of both Yong-Jun Bae (who played both Jun-Sang Kang and Min-Hyung Lee) and Ji-Woo Choi (playing the part of Yoo-Jin Jung) make the series worth watching, as both can very convincingly convey the emotions that can haunt the human condition. The overall plot of the series is somewhat stereotypical of the genre, a bit thin to be honest. With that said... I hate how this series ended *lol* It's far too... perhaps proper, for me. Emphasis is placed on the 'right' thing to do for someone else, instead of the right thing to do for oneself. I think, though, that that may be a more eastern belief. And there's nothing wrong with that. I just feel that, with matters of the heart, one has to do what is right for his or her own self. I don't know. You might differ on opinions from me, but I liked it and would recommend it. And whether or not I have bad taste... well that's a matter of opinion as well.
My wife bought this on DVD and wanted me to watch it with her. I was pretty skeptical at the time because I don't care too much for love stories. After watching the first episode, I changed my mind - this is really good. It did make my wife cry through the whole show and it almost brought a tear out of me. Now, it takes a a lot to do that to me.
If you haven't watched this yet, please do. You won't be disappointed. It has everything - great acting and directing, beautiful scenery and music.
Overall rating: 10 out of 10

The story may be old fashion and little lame, but the twist and turn with a perfect ending, still make eyes watering after 20 years!! Yes, review on 12.1.2022!!!
