i hvnt seen this drama but i wld queue this on my list now since i heard so much about it plus i’m a big fan of joo sang wook so i can’t seem to get over him
and trying not to miss any of his projects though i’m still watching him on feast of the gods, i guess while waiting for epis 15 to be subbed i can start with this too!

@whatineeded — i still hv a long way to go & i agree all the actors are doing a great job, i’m speaking on present term cause i’m still watching it -
just started this a few days ago & got hooked already! JSW is just awesome in this drama! i can’t wait to finish it! only regret is i wasn’t able to watch this while airing, but better late than never i guess!

i’m really impressed with all the actors and this is the second time i’m seeing park sang min since first saw him in did we really love & he’s more matured here & woah good acting skills too! my fave here is Lee sang woo and i still hv to see the team up with mi ju as i’ve read a lot here that they liked their love life here; i see they were best couple that year! can’t wait though i’m only on epi 17 now!
likewise whatineeded – i was as i said impressed with park sang min aside from lee s beom and my fave joo sang wook! they were outstanding!

July 16th, 2012 at 2:39 am
I would like to get all the songs that MIJU sang in this drama…could anyone help me?!

I just started watching this and almost finished it over the weekend. I was impressed with the children’s acting, namely Kim Soo Hyun, Jin Goo and Jang Eum (the little girl, Miju).. these 3 actors alone can melt my heart with their sorrowful well expressed acting and wish they’d remain that way till the end. They are better than the adults I’d say. Too bad none of them won any awards here. I am glad to see Soo Hyun and Jin Goo acting together again.. Jin Goo is another actor to watch out for with his superb acting.

I was wondering why are people complaining about their looks..being good looking does not guaranteed a superb acting. I really love lee bum soo. He is an excellent actor…and so the rest but i have to agree the young actors did suprisingly great job with their acts! they will make anyone watching this cries, laugh, angry….overall great story/plot, not much drag,excellent actors n actress, and highly recemmended! Hoping for new dramas as good as this

I will NEVER forget this drama, INTENSE is my word to describe the whole journey of watching this. Of all the korean drama and movies I have seen, Jo Min Woo and Lee Mi Joo’s love story is unforgettable, the songs for them is beautiful. (geudaega-IKHA and going to you-ester)
