This was one of my first korean dramas I was introduced, the first being Autumn in My Heart. I remember when it first came out and how I would watch it with the family trying to stay up marathoning through the episodes. And years later and with many other korean dramas under my belt later, I can say this is quintessentially the essence of a classic korean drama. Amnesia, birth secrets, car accidents, unrequited love, childhood lovers, tragedy: all of these elements seen in today's korean dramas are all found in this one. What for me made this drama so great was how visually beautiful it was. A tale of an eternal love in the backdrop of winter, everything was visually stunning. Obviously korean dramas today are almost all visually stunning but this drama was made a decade before. Looking back at it now, I don't think this drama is the best written out there. It's definitely flawed as most melodramas are. But, I would still recommend this to anyone who want to watch a classic korean drama that led the beginning of the hallyu wave.
