I had to write something regarding this drama, because it seems entirely too underrated. It's completely beyond me why more people don't know about this. Without spoiling anything - I'll just say that within the first few minutes of the drama, I knew that it would be beautiful. This was the general feel of the entire drama, irrevocably lovely. The story itself although not entirely unique, definitely has a touch of something special. The story certainly has a lesson to be taught, and because of that the only way to thoroughly sum up the entire story is magically melancholy, if not perhaps a "beautiful disaster." I had to give the cast a ten, because I fell in love with the characters instantaneously. Hyun Bin as Han Tae Woong showed me the true meaning of misery, and suffering. His overall expression, and soft disposition make me truly feel for him. Although I'm a big fan of Hyun Bin, I felt more attached to Sung Yu Ri as Kim Bo Ra. Bo Ra is a very strong character and I loved her simply because her character goes through a very noticeable transformation. This sense of change shaped the entire drama for me into something I could easily consider a masterpiece. Wonderful acting. I wasn't a gigantic fan of the music, but I felt that this was probably the most necessary music the drama could have for the plot line. I also marked down the rewatch value, only because I think this is one drama that stands alone. Even if you tried to watch it again, you'd have the same feeling in the pit of your stomach. This drama - as you could tell by the description - is certainly a tearjerker. Even if I watch it a second time, it will still remain the same. Overall it was a pleasing piece. I'm not even sure if I could accurately call it a drama, but a work of art. The only bone that I have to pick with it is that it seemed to drag from time-to-time, but I notice the majority of dramas have this exact same feel. If anyone asks me for a recommendation, it would certainly be The Snow Queen. Although this is only my personal opinion, it might take a certain type of empathy, or perhaps even a certain type of person to appreciate this drama. If you can appreciate tragedy intermingled with love and loss - and a rugged Hyun Bin...readily get a box of tissues and start watching.
