Sang Yoon as a lecturer in Liar Game and Twenty Again. <3 I love him! I hope he does Liar Game 2 if and when…
I just heard that he plays an antagonist in Heading to the Ground but other than that, he usually plays a nice guy ^^ I'd like him to play the role of a detective again in a better drama or maybe even something like a character in Bad Guys (but he's really a good guy lol) - He'd be great in an OCN drama!
I don't like GHS either - but I really did enjoy Angel Eyes - her acting wasn't that bad in that drama - So you might want to check it out at least and see if you can handle her ;)
I fell in love with his character in Don't Cry My Love / I Love You Don't Cry. He was soo cute there!! But the…
Thank you for letting me know about ILYDC and HTTG ^_^ I'll make sure I don't watch HTTG for sure lol, as for ILYDC I might peak in on the last 30 episodes to see him, but I'll avoid the drama as a whole :)

"The ending sucked. NOT because he was the one who hit the boy, but because of the totally unrealistic way the entire thing played out. Prosecutor Oh SAW how devastated our lead was on being told he was responsible, SHE spent months with a man who was loving and gentle and still never even CONSIDERED how devastated a man like that would be after finding out he did something like this? NO ONE even THINKS to consider his story? And the icing on the cake…that poisonous scene where she abandoned his child. That poor broken hearted baby laying on the garage floor crying out to her and she just drives off…done and done and over someone that cruel to a child. The writers in this totally sucked giving this such a horrendous and ridiculously implausible ending. SHE ends up raising that child…a child she so obviously NEVER loved but only regarded as a substitute for her own lost son. The most selfish self-centered character ever…her last words said it all…it was all about her and how she felt and there was nothing in her for the feelings or pain of anyone else."
EXACTLY!!! >_< another comment taken from koreandrama.org >
"And I can’t understand that the drama was looking for justice but the husband, his mother, his mistress, Mi Soo finished ‘happy’ and the brother and Dong Woo that deserved to be happy finished so fatal!!!
Dong Woo’s love sacrificed Bo Ram to ‘pay’ the lost of Da Bin to Ban Suk. I think she accepted Bo Ram to fill the absence of Da Bin, more that she forgave Dong Woo, maybe she wanted to make him feel the pain to lost your child, because he said that we would never see him again. But I think, that she was empty, how couldn’t fall in love of someone that makes everything that he do for her!!! I think her pain was excesive, even his photo in her honeymoon -.- . Life goes on!"
I completely agree with this comment taken from koreandrama.org >
"I think the director of this drama should have made more of an effort to give the audience a complete ending. I, like others here, was left so annoyed at the ending because the main guy was not given a chance to say anything. He got arrested after before he even said anything to the main lady’s brother. The directors elevated the main lady’s grief to a point where her son’s death became some sort of weapon against love. In the end, she turned into this unlikeable person who was using her dead son against everything. She had been given the happiness and love she deserved by the guy ( he even turned her into a celebrity, gave her stability), but how did she repay that? I started off empathizing with her but in the end, disliking her character. The director seemed to see life only from her point of view and totally side-lined the main guy and the mother who abandoned the child."
taken from a comment off of Asianwiki: "prosecutor oh have realized that dong woo didn't know that he knocked da bin because of low visibility caused by the hard rain and high back body of the truck. the prosecutor did well. also. ban suk took custody of bo ram and her last words, to me, means that dong woo and herself are ONE. the last sequence was taken in front of the prison which only means that she'll be waiting for dong woo with bo ram."
This is what I'm hoping that last sentence of hers meant but it's really hard to believe that's what she meant when they ended it the way they did! I need a better explanation for the ending - by the writer/director him/herself!!!! Right now I'm upset with how this ended - it seems like she "who didn't believe in her newly wed husband for even a second" get's all the things she wanted in the end but he loses his son and suffers in jail - forever sentenced to pain?!!! >_< If that's not what it meant - then the writers really need to clarify this - better yet they should have made the ending make sense and showed us something - like the end of 'Cloud Stairs'!!!
This is exactly how I felt throughout the entire drama - especially that ending! >_< like What the Heck? I'm SO mad! - Jo Dong Hyeok's character was the one character who deserved to find happiness in the end!!! Why did they all blame him even until the very last seconds?!!! >_< >_< >_< WHY did NO ONE believe him? Ban Suk out of everyone should have believed in him - could someone that was as kind and as loving as him have done all that for revenge? REALLY? - he didn't but WHY didn't she even believe in him for a second? She SHOULD have forgiven him - it was an accident for pete's sake! and an accident he didn't even know about for heaven's sake!!! >_< I really hated her character in the end - the last 3 episodes were torture but I was hoping for a happy ending similar to that of 'Cloud Stairs' - stupid writer >_<

"The story at first reminds me a bit of Crazy For You, which I saw earlier. It’s about a woman falling for the one who accidentally killed their loved ones. But in Snow in August, the cruel fate brought us not one but two pairs of doomed lovers – Dong Woo/Ban Suk and Mi Soo/Jong Hyuk. We know that it was Dong Woo who accidentally kill Ban Suk’s son, Da Bin, but it’s impossible to hate him and you just wish that the truth will never be exposed. But it’s a drama afterall, so it has to happen and it’s so painful to see it coming. I find it suffocating watching the last 3 episodes when everything is revealed and how the characters were experiencing two blows at the same time. Every character (except Jong Hyuk) had some responsibilities for Da Bin’s death. I wasn’t really into the Jong Hyuk and Mi Soo relationship. I just can’t like Mi Soo; she ran away home abandoning her crying child without any supervision at home, that’s so unforgivable!
I really have to mention about the adulterous couple here: Wang Bae and Hong Hwa, the most despicable pair EVER! Seeing them together or just foxy Hong Hwa alone on screen makes my blood boil! Hong Hwa is a character who I detest to the max and I’m so happy to see their reversal of fortune, I have no sympathy towards them whatsoever, although they have a tiny bit of conscience at the end but it’s all too late. Hong Hwa in this drama makes Sae Yeon in Bad Couple look like an angel…
I think the ending is meant to give viewers some optimism but no matter how I see it, it looks like a pessimistic ending! Sigh..."
