A short story of a few days that expressed a lifetime of emotional scarring for the two leads ..... ...... ..... beautifully told ....
Cho Jae-Hyeon really earned my respect for his performance here ....
I have mixed feelings about this one. It was so sad. I liked best part when they were still in school and I really…
Well Said!!!
and... Park Shin-Hye did do a Good job Here (only time I like her).... BUT... I still think she is only good at being pathetic.....
EXAMPLE : in Ep. 6 when they both meet up and both are sad w/ teary eyes yet both flash a smile and say they r OK....
--->> from PSH ...w/ a sad face , crying, yet says she is OK w/ a smile... showed sadness... that is it !!!
--->>> from Lee Wan ... w/ a stern face and teary eyes says he is fine w/ a forced smile .... he showed :
Sadness....Pain....Frustration....Anger...Sympathy....Longing....Love....Loneliness... and much more
Park Shin-Hye is Never able to show that array of emotions .... she simply cries and shows sadness .... and sometimes , while wailing , she shows Heart-Wrenching Sadness ... That is it .... ..... IMO , she's limited !!!
Does anyone know ???..... Did Park Shin-Hye have a good accent speaking Japanese ??
.... it is meant to be her character's native language.... so wondering about her performance...
Wow!!! .... love the Intensity ...... lots of feels..... good story .....
---- concise and well written, not a boring moment....
---- Impressed w/ Lee Wan's performance...
---- Really good Combination of J-Dorama Realism mixed w/ K-Drama Idealized Romanticism ......and...
--->> It removed the cynicism and cliches of both !!...the result is a fresh take...Excellent !!
Also .... Lu Li-Cheng is a Real man ... !!!
Intelligent , Confident , Passionate , Generous , Strong , yet Tender .... and....
.... NO emotional/psychological problems !!! .... Plus he's Tall , Handsome and a great dancer !
Wow !...What a man !!! ....love the RARE Siting of a really PERFECT man in dramaland !
It's as if Mr Darcy was fun and outgoing....not reserved or rude....(can u all tell I'm fangirling XD)
Lu Li Cheng and Su Man are one of my very top favorite couples in all of drama-land !
That is what falling in love is all about ---->>>>. Genuine Encounters that make the heart grow fonder !!!! ...... .....Personalities that Complement each other !! ..... ....Attraction that Sizzles !!! ..... .....Respect and Loyalty that is perfect for a growing friendship !!!
--- (none of that "fate" stuff ...or...."When it is true love , there is NO reason why I love him" B.S. )
I must be in the wrong mindset ! .... ..... all the cliches are getting to me :( .....
..... and..... I am just not buying her devoted love to him after all these years .....
I simply dislike the kind of love w/out rhyme or reason.... they're in love b/c the writer says so ...... CLICHE !?!?!?!?!?
The Good parts are :
- Bae Yong Jun !!! (2nd time seeing him ...liked him more in "Untold Scandal")
- Park Yong-Ha !!! (granted not as cute as in his later series - Still , Yeeaaayyy !!!)
- Great Music !!!
- Very nice clothes (specifically the 2 leads) - and fits the professions .... lots of monochromatic luxury fabrics w/ simple, elegant lines ...... ........ ....... none of those short shorts to work and w/ heals and in the middle of winter...etc...
Very very very Slow and Predictable .... nothing stands out except the list above .....
*** for old dramas full of cliches --->>> IMO , "Sad Love Song" was 10x better..... even "Stairway to Heaven" was more interesting.
I liked it just as much as I liked "Devil Beside You" .... Both cute , light , fluffy and fun to watch ! ....
Although --->>> "Bull Fighting" has better acting !!! - (Bit too much over-acting in "DBY")
But I also must admit --->>>> Lee Wei is my bias !!! ... Loved him in this series !
Definitely YES !!! ....
--->>>Especially ... if you like an "Epic Romance" .... and ....
--->>>More especially... if you like a "tortured soul" ... b/c the hero falls in love w/ his worst enemy's daughter and is tortured b/w love and revenge.....and.....
--->>>Most especially ... if you like a strong heroine ... Se-Ryung is one of the best heroines.
I really enjoyed the first 12 episodes, but I can't find it subbed past that point anywhere.
didn't realize it was a fan channel ... if licensing isn't a concern , then they must literally record it off the TV while airing then uploading to VIki ...... ......
..... what am I going to do w/ my new C-dramas obsession? .... such a hard time finding them subbed ....
That's it ! ... I must learn Mandarin ! ..lol...

WOW !!! .... what a huge difference in the quality !!!....
I just saw it on the website you recommend http://www.wallacehuo.info/...... sooo much nicer ! ... do you think they will finish subbing it sometime in the near future ? ...
I would much rather watch it in HD , especially if it has extra scenes .XD
I really enjoyed the first 12 episodes, but I can't find it subbed past that point anywhere.
this is a real technical question : since Viki needs license to show content (not sure about fan channels) , what difference does it make on which channel the drama airs ? ........ aren't they purchasing the license to show it from the production company ? ...... It is not as if they are recording the actual broadcast then uploading it to Viki , is it? ... just curious.

btw , Mulgogi ... as always you are very well informed .... You r saying it aired on JSTV , and is now airing on CCTV ....
But above , on the MDL listing , the network is listed as BTV !?!? ...

especially about the Amazing character of Dong-Chul ..... who definitely goes on my list of favorite characters.

The Happy Ending is that she comes back from her travels a year later and they get married !
