Autumn Tale (2000)

Makyang at its finest. Staged with great sensitivity. A rollercoaster ride of emotions guaranteed!

Back then, in 2000, "Autumn Tale" kicked off the celebrated "Endless Love Series" and is (like the other 3) a hit. Timeless. Heartbreaking in the face of life's unfairness. Bittersweet and tragic. "Autumn Tale" offers makjang at its finest. All of this is staged with great sensitivity. A rollercoaster ride of emotions guaranteed!

Two siblings who aren't actually siblings - but nobody knows. A momentous decision when it comes out randomly. Outrageously mean intrigues. And an unshakable bond of love that (nevertheless) must not be. Because even if you might dare to rebel against the family, there is always another stroke of fate.

It is always possible for things to turn out worse - this is a promise, KDrama Land can surely give!"Autumn Tale" is prove of that. And as always with makjang: an enormous capacity for sympathy, suffering and compassion is a prerequisite for 'enjoying' this KDrama. Makjang could be considered a reinvention and revival of the idea of catharsis in connection with the Greek tragedy. On the roller coaster of human feelings between greed, love, betrayal, hate and forgiveness and suffering, scolding, laughing, crying, the moment of empathizing with the emotional processes of the protagonists can have a liberating effect. (All 4 KDramas of the "Endless Love Series" - "Winter Sonata", "Summer Scent" and "Spring Waltz", too - are actually great at ´that´. You better be prepared and ready for it... if you are, you won´t be disappointed!

This was such a Heart wrenching drama. It made me cry even when they were still young until they grew up. The cast are perfect, Hyekyo is very natural when she acts and ChaeYoung here really made me hate her but that's what made this drama even more outstanding. Cast are so outstanding in my opinion, but if you ask why it's nine in the Rewatch value, I haven't watched it again because it was too sad to watch, that would make me cry and hate more. The music is very affectionate, may be sad or not, the singers and instruments are awesome. The story itself is very eye-catching,I love it! Perfect. I totally recommend this. There was no episode where I didn't cry.
