Story: At first I thought this was going to be a comedy. Mostly because it’s a rich boy living in a penthouse who is told he has to live in a run down house in the country. Furthermore he hates school and is now forced to graduate in order to keep the money. It is a little funny, especially with the situations he is forced into because of Eun-hwan. Her character is caring and kind despite her painful secret. Without realizing it she brings out the best in everyone around her, even arrogant city boys. You don’t even realize it yourself, but she is teaching you, the viewer, as well. It’s all subliminal. She doesn’t say anything outright like, “Enjoy life, it could end at any moment,” rather than showing us how precious life in and how a romance can save you from the beast inside of you. One of my favorite aspects of this movie was the beautiful scenery. The autumn light sparkling around the town, leaves falling around everyone, rain pouring down during an intense scene and snow falling in a way that makes you want to cry. It was all done so poetically and in a way that you aren’t overwhelmed with only scenes from the town. This all takes place during important scenes. It not only adds to the story but makes you wish you were really there. The romance, oh god the romance. There wasn’t that much kissing and there wasn’t a sex scene. But none of that mattered. They fell in love so hard and so fast that there wasn’t much time for them to prepare for what was going to happen. These two actors had so much chemistry that I believed in their love. This story reminds me of Nicholas Sparks, a noted romance novelist. It’s that good. Music: So beautiful. The scenes alone are emotional but it was because of the music that the tears in my eyes overflowed and had to find tissues. Like A Tale of Two Sisters, the music only adds to what is going on. It’s not just there like some dramas where the characters are shopping and you need filler music. The music serves a purpose: to make you feel what those in the movie feel. Cast/Acting: Every part was played wonderfully. I really believed in their romance and really believed in Eun-hwans secret. You can really see him changing for her and trying to be who he is supposed to. Rewatch Value: 10 READ MORE DRAMA AND MOVIE REVIEWS HERE: http://dramadevoted.tumblr.com
