Okey, I found myself a new favdrama! I have to admit, the first episodes really bored me to death. They could have put more effort in the parents love-story.
This drama is really dramatic and sad, but still really really beautful!
The parents love-story didn't move me that much. And even though the relationship between Ha Na and Seo Jun is the same as the relationship between lovers in other dramas, their chemistry is just splendid. I cought myself many times believing that they were actually a real couple.
I gave the acting 8 "points" because some of the cast were really good, and some were not as good. For example, the actors playing young and old In Ha did an absolutely outstanding job. I could really feel that they were "the same person". The guys playing Dong Wook didn't just cooperate enough to make me believe it. I felt that it was a completely different character in the older days, but I guess I can buy it since they later talked about how they had changed over the years.
In one way I absolitely hated the old Hye Jung but in another way I absolutely adored her. She really did a good job, too bad I didn't see that until the last episode. I think that even though I really hated her, she did the best job in this drama! And that's really refreshing to see, since they usually only focus to cast good actors as the main roles and not as a supportive role.
And the music! Sure, some songs wasn't really in my taste (it's not something I would listen to) but they managed to make the songs fit with the story.
The thing I was most impressed about (when talking about the music) was the swedish song. YES, A SWEDISH SONG! The song I'm talking about is Vem vet (who knows) by Lisa Ekdahl. It's not just that a swedish song startled me in the middle of a korean drama, it's the fact that even the lyrics to the song actually went well with what was happening at that time. I don't know if anyone in the production knew swedish and suggested the song, but I was really impressed. Really refreshing to hear a swedish song, and even a french (I think) one!. It was a nice break from the other dramas that completely lacked other songs than korean or american songs. It was really nice that they decided to break that pattern. More of that please!! :D
To summerize everything I just want to say that the drama was really good and I think they did a splendid work. I have to admit, it takes a real "k-drama-pro" to watch this. (or do you have to be a k-drama-newbie? Who knows? Not you, not me. We know nothing now, we know nothing today). What I meant was, yes it's really slow in the beggining, but once you give it a second chance you won't be betrayed. It's really worth watching!
