the writers were clever from the start with the two Oh Soos. I love this kind of ending the most. It's defined enough for fans to claim it's closed ending, but open enough for everyone else to choose.

Hi Educto I like love rain. Acting could be better but I love the story and the conflicts in it are resolved in a manner that I want to see. I am giving it an 8 and I think't deserving for the story and the feelings alone- it's like a modernized Classic, though I really think they could have used better actors but oh well, can't have everything. The father is who I like the most, such a romantic incapable of dealing with the loss of his love, but I loved how he and his son were to reconcile thanks to all that happened. Yoona was okay, better than JGS in any case but the two are good together, they just could use to brush up on their acting skills. There are some beautiful feelings in this story and I agree that the OST creates the mood of the drama. As for Winter I decided that I want to see the ending as open ended and that's it, it is open to interpretation because

Oh hi there! nice to read you. I do wish you all the best with that, I was just wondering because you didn;t seem to log in since January but I am glad to see you are around after all.

I am having a bit of an off time at the moment so I can afford a little extra time to watch as much as possible while the "drive" for dramas lasts. I just finished a bunch of dramas, including that winter the wind blows yi san, horse doctor and love rain. I am determined to anihilate my plan to watch lists as much as possible while I can, I added too many dramas and that in itself became too distracting. So to remove the distraction I need to watch them as soon as possible. It feeds my drama addiction.... Not watching when a man loves until it airs, then, not even adding it for the moment. I hope you will enjoy it.

:) Well, I'm not much into procedurals but there are a few dramas in this bunch that sound fun. :) What are you watching while waiting for the new season?

Hi Starlitelet, was wondering how you were but you seem to be away. Hope things are going well for you.

Oh Soul, well I think I am going to watch in one day but mostly because of Lee Seo Jin, I really like him. what's the drama like? I think I may like a change of genre to horror. right now. though i ma busy destroying my plan to watch lists- that is watching as many things on it as I can to decrease the numbers.

Hello Sygwen! Looks interesting, thank you for the heads up! So many new dramas, looks like quite a few procudrals but there are 45 which caught my eye. Thanks for this! Oh but first I really am looking forward ot legal his special. Soooon! :)

yeah, as long as feels that way. but can we as viewers ever tell? hopefully she is though. she is very talented as far as i can see, i just listened to her song from marumo no okite

well I can't judge but it must be difficult to be such a little sweet thing and yet already so busy with being a film star. where's her childhood? i;ll finish love rain and watch mother next.

yeah, it's one of the big novels :) wlel it would be hard for the drama to cover the entire scope of the book, but it;s still going ti be superinteresting see, oh now i;m quite excited.

:embarassed, turns red: :D

I apologise for the gender mistake though, my bad.

yes because I just think that sometimes being a celebrity child can be very very difficult.

Well I read Crime and Punishment- now THAT would make an awesome drama. Now I think I will want to read Brothers too, perhaps before I watch the drama, may be an interesting comparison. Thank you for your insights. :)

That is very true, sad endings leave an impression because we would have wanted the character to live, so now he can both die and live, I really appreciate this kind of choose your own ending approach and I think the drama producers were very clever, because it;s really hard to see a tragic ending for character who has been through so much and the producers know that. I think we can appreciate the more for that.

uh oh, I hope it didn't spoil him.

I see and understand your sentiment. Well I am different here: it would have really broken my heart if it was a definite death scene with no way out. The way it is you can choose to have him dead, if you so wish. Yeona, you don't have to tell me, I'd be SO all over him if I had the chance LOL. How are Karamazov Brothers?

ok! will do! I know, dramas without idols then to go unnoticed. BUT it was well awarded in Japan.
