Clarkdale44 Apr 01 2014 7:40 am Well, simple paced drama. Great casting by both of the main leads, they were impressive. It was very predictable by the end of episode 1, yet i kept watching it, hoping for my predication to be wrong. Decent plot, good casting....

Don't read further if you have yet to watch this drama:- Well i hate drama with sad endings and i was hoping myself to be wrong since the time Tatsuki found out about her sickness. I wish she could have been saved and they live happy together, but i regret i watched. All this drama did was make me sad. Its a heartwarming tearjerker if you ask me. Plot was good at the beginning then it changed into sad melodrama. Its not that i hate this drama. It is made well beautifully, its just that i hate sad endings. Ending just ruined my entire feelings for this drama. My advise for you will be only watch this if you don't care about sad endings.

I will give it 6/10(Superb casting by Miki Imai & Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, decent plot)

Anny Jun 21 2012 12:42 am Hmm... I think the korean version is better :) I think, for me anything that has a version, the original is better.. And Korean version is the first release So I think the story and acting is better of the original (Korean version).. :)

BUT I think, the Japanese version of Winter Sonata is good story too Because I like japanese drama and movie too :) So... Between the Korean and Japanese versions are equally good! It is GOOD and NICE STORY about love ever...

Carlx Sep 09 2011 12:56 am So it was 9 or 10 episodes? Or 9 plus a 'bonus' episode?

non sibi Apr 29 2011 11:05 pm Glad to see Choi Ji-woo and Kwon Sang-woo in this drama :)

non sibi Apr 26 2011 11:36 pm I love to watch dramas/movies which enable me to see life from other perspectives. They give me a sense of relieving.

zhia_aala Apr 21 2011 9:20 pm they said this as same as winter sonata........but its much much much better than winter sonata......a very heart warming sincerely love yet painful heartbreaking.......I cried, smile, sometimes laughing from the beginning to the end......(in reality this kind of love never happen)........congrats to the producer, script writer, actor and actress also all the crew for the best love story ever (this is the 2nd time I feel so touching after movie LOVE STORY)....

zhia_aala Apr 21 2011 8:24 am a heart warming love story......love it till the end.....
