However, circumstances and fate dictate that their love will never be. He abruptly disappears from their lives.

How do you do? Recently I have provided some of other series DVDs.
Their name are: love letter, holy love, winter of love (all of these series were made in Korea) and one Japanese series under the title 14 years mother.
I merely have seen holy love and 14 years old mother serials so far. Now! I am watching winter of love series.
But return to my topic. I want to say my viewpoint about these serials (2 series) that I have seen.
Holy love is a good romantic series. Although I saw all of their episodes eagerly, but it seems its quality isn’t reach too other series that I had mentioned previously. why?
Because of:
1- The actors and actresses haven’t sense of acting in comparison with other before-mention Korean series players.
2-the music of this series wasn’t good relatively. it had better the director use the Korean actresses more. This series music didn’t transfer any erotic, lovely sentiment to its viewer relative to other mention Korean series, from my standpoint.
3- It was necessary that there were a lot of love senses in this series. But this series was poor from this appointment.
4- It had better the director focus to some of other actresses and actors too. and said about them more(especially miss yoon ja kyong-yoo in young- and her other jealous lover that was honor student when they were studying in high school.i forgot his name.
The pivotal player were suh kang wook and lee yul joo(kang tae and kim min sun).there play were good. But I think they could play so better. Although I personally fall in love madam yoo in young-yoon ja kyong.i love her appearance and personality so much. If only I have seen her in all of this series episodes much more.
By the way is she single or married? I want to know about her in detail. Can you give her email address and postal address to me?
Can you woo her for me?
Dears! I love her .because I was so pleased when saw her in the series! Please send my love to her. I kiss her so much! I wish I could see her like as my other love madam park shin hye once!
Anyway her watching (in this series) intoxicated me a lot! I wish I lick and eat her!(I mean I love her so much)
Altogether I am pleased that I can success to watch this interesting series. I accept this series. My criticism about this series merely is because of this matter that I believe on the holy love series quality could promote considerably, if my recommendation was noticed, of course from my point of view.
I wish I could marry with the girls similar my loves park shin hye and yoo in young!
This series theme was new! And this increases the film quality a lot. I severely love the romantic-erotic series! I never satisfy from watching the series with erotic-romantic themes!
Altogether I like this series. But I believe on its quality could increase a lot!
Thanks for all of persons that have had roles in providing this series!
The other series that I have seen is 14 years mother. A series from Japan. Although this series theme are much more Iranian TV and movies (whether Iranian or foreign series and films).of course I add that I don’t like to see even one film and series from Iranian broadcasting.
But return to my topic. The most important preference of this series locates in its new them. Unfortunately this series quality wasn’t good relatively. Although I prefer it to most of Iranian series and films. I add one of the most popular series in Iran TV is ju mong series. although ju mong is better than other series that present in Iran TV,but I don’t see it. because I merely love to watch erotic romantic films and series. Anyway I saw this series(holy love) too. But I can not rank this series among other interesting Korean series. Because its quality isn’t in comparison with other interesting Korean series.
In present situation I see one Korean interesting series under the title winter of love. It seems it is a very interesting Korean series. As soon as I see this series I declare my view about this series latter.
I want to rank these series. 14 years old mother series haven’t any score relative to other before mentions series. Although it’s theme is new and its quality is better Iran TV and cinema film and series. But the holy love series locate in 6 ranking . I mean the best series I have seen so far are following respectively:
1-sad love story
2- Tree heaven and stairway to heaven
3- huang jin
4-bad love, term of endearment, snow queen, beautiful days, scent of summer simultaneously
5-the jewel in palace
6-love holy
In present conditions that I experience some of the worst disasters, watching these interesting series heal my spiritual wounds a lot! As I said before I live in a hellish country. My mom and dad were killed by satanic sects. One of my brothers mental system have broke down. As a matter of fact the Satanists madden and sicken him. He is intolerable even for one minute. No one can tolerate him. It seems he will sacrifice in the near future. In my autobiography I said about us in detail. Anyway it seems these terrible imposed conditions be continue until my brother be sacrificed. So I have missed a lot of opportunities so far. Yes! I live in one of the worst countries. They are a lot of satanic sectarian can sicken and madden one healthy person easily!? I wish I could go foreign countries in order to start my study, work,… in my favorite arenas. It may these suspension situation be continue till two or three years latter unhappily.
Good I pass from this matter.
In finally I repeat my requisition. Is it possible you give more information about my new love yoo in young. I wish I could marry with her or other girls similar her from all of sides. I kiss her so much. I love her a great deal of. Please give her email address,…to me. I have no more to say.
Thankfully!

Winter Sonata is not all heartbreaking and tearjerking drama.
It started with cute Choi JI Woo rushing to school where she met the lead actor Bae Yong Jun for the 1st time. Its a GOOD ENDING.
My opinion – I find that those who hv not heard or watch this drama – WINTER SONATA – is a big loss. ha ha (The Japanese ladies are so crazy about Bae Yong Jun after watching this drama)
November 8th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
the best korean drama..now and future,future and forever…
bae yong jun and choi ji woo are soooooo nice …!!!=)

like some of the people here, Winter Sonata is really my first Korean Drama and I fall in love with this drama..Its like love at the first sight.. I couldn’t even watch another Korean Drama because of it. This drama will never be replace with another Korean Drama and I also untill now a big fan of Choi Ji woo and Bae Young Jun, They are the greatest couple!!! But now I start wacthing another Korean Drama, although I find many of the Korean drama is also good and interesting, but still.. No other Korean Drama can replace Winter Sonata in my heart… It will last forever in my heart..

I’ve watched several Korean dramas before and until now. However, nothing compares to the Endless Love series Winter Sonata which starred Bae Yong Joon and Chi Ji Woo. These people are great performers apart from the good role they played. I came to love them both. I just hope someday, they’ll come up with a new project and soon appear on the screen again. They have a huge follower and perfect team up.. I HOPE BAE YONG JOON PRODUCE ANOTHER HIT LIKE THIS AND BE PAIRED AGAIN WITH CHI JI WOO IN A MORE MATURE ROLE IN KOREAN ROMANTIC DRAMA. IS SOMEBODY REALLY READING THIS SO THIS WOULD REACH THEM.?????????
