I don't understand at first why my friends love to watch sappy movie that require lots of kleenex ..

what I did was, I watched the first episode and straight-away the last episode of the drama .. the worst part was, I sat with some friends and trying to get into the mood when Ji Woo's scene at the beach and end up laughing histarically as we saw the boom mic (microphone on top of the screen) haha~ but still, there are scenes where I need help from kleenex~

Exaggeration can be seen throughout the story, parts where Sang Woo always have people in black suits around him, Ji Woo unfortunate events one by one smoothly reveals, the father does not realize anything about his new wife until towards the end and etc..

Kleenex anyone Sad ??

I only got a chance to watch the beginning and the ending of this series. Strange but truth.

Since many of you loved it so much, I would like to watch the whole thing, but I couldn't find any where for Direct Download, I couldn't use Clubbox nor Bitorrent ....

So if anyone know a place where I can get this series with Direct Download please give me the links.

Thanks a bunch ...

I've just finished watching it, and I just love it! ( But my eyes didn't Crying )
That was the 1st kdrama I saw, so nothing was "cliché" for me Tongue
Yeah, the ending was predictable, (because of the first scene in the first episode Glare , not mentionning the title Whistling ) but still, I enjoyed every bits of this beautiful drama Smile

Basically it's somewhat like a CInderlla story, but more tragic. I made a post on this drama in my livejournal [temporary-f.livejournal.com] so if you go there you can find out more about the characters and stuff, but heres the synopsis I used for my little drama post.
The story starts out with Song Juh and Jung Suh being childhood playmates.

Both of them share a similar fate, that being that both of them each loses a parent: Song Juh his father and Jung Suh her mother through eye cancer.

When Jung Suh’s father remarries Tae Mi Ra, she brings along her children from her previous marriage, Han Yu Li and Han Tae Hwa.

Like most stepmothers in fairytales, Tae Mi Ra is an angel in front of Jung Suh’s father but mistreats Jung Suh whenever he’s not around.

The poor Jung Suh is all forgiving and happy in the fact that she will eventually go abroad for further studies with Song Juh, she vows to bear any type of pain, emotional and physical, as long as her father is happy with her new stepmother.

Despite all these misgivings, she even gives her stepbrother a present on his birthday and cooks for him. Such delicate actions leave an indelible impression in his mind that Jung Seh is indeed in love with him, and he will do anything to show his love back.

However, things take a plunge when Song Juh’s father is unknowingly persuaded by Mi Ra to force Jung Suh to stay in Korea, and Jung Suh’s dream of a beautiful life with Song Juh takes a heavy blow.

Eventually, Song Juh has to leave for the States for his further studies and before he departs, he gives a lover’s necklance to Jung Suh and promises her he will back and that she must wait for him.

Three years pass and despite the mistreatment of her stepmother and stepsister, Jung Seh is now only days from being reunited with Song Juh as the day of his return to arrive beckons.

Tae Hwa is still interested in Jung Suh all these years but Jung Suh sees him only as a brother. On the day Song Juh returns, he calls Jung Suh up and she rushes down to their favourite theme park, coincidentally owned by Song Juh’s family
However, whilst they manage to spot each other from afar, Yu Li, in a desperate bid to stop these two lovers from reuniting and out of sheer jealousy, despicably runs Jung She down and later hides her with her birth father, who is an ex-convict.

Yu Li even manages to disguise the fact that Jung Suh died in unfortunate circumstances and before long, Jung Suh is regarded for dead by her family and friends

Tae Hwa eventually finds out the whereabouts of Jung Suh and moves in with his birth father. Unfortunately, due to the car accident, Jung Suh has now lost her memory and she is renamed Kim Ji Suh by Tae Hwa and his birthfather

Five years pass, another Kim Ji Suh is now a successful fashion designer who owns a small roadside stall selling clothes together with another friend.

Han Tae Hwa, on the other hand, is now her boyfriend and constantly hides the truth from her about her true background.

Our hero of the drama, Song Juh is now within months of completely taking over the company presidency, however, through all these years, he has never really accepted the death of Jung Suh as he saw her that very night.

In deep thoughts, he sits by a bench in his company’s themepark, when he spots Kim Ji Suh, who is a stunning resemblance to his childhood beau, Jung Suh.

What he doesn’t know is, that Kim Ji Suh is Han Jung Suh

So here starts Song Juh relentless pursuit of Kim Ji Suh, which in turns brings a lot of pain and disgrace to both families, anguish and heartarch to all involved...

you can download this drama at idols-unlimited.net if you visit my LJ above, there's a link that takes you right to that drama though, or you can just go to idols-unlimited and search, but they have it.

The story is a combination of Winter Sonata and Autumn In My Heart ... I hate the indecisive character of Choi Ji Woo ... I love the character played by Kwon Sang Woo ... he played it well - aggressive and commanding and at the same time very charming. I hated the unnecessary screaming of Choi Ji Woo ... the drama got so long for nothing. The story dropped down after the real Jung-Suh was known ... after that ... it became senseless. See it only if you have extra time ...

WOW, this is a k drama that i would love to hate. there were several places in the series where the director can stop and give a happy ending but, i guess, the natural progression of this series must have a bittersweet end. tears basically fell out my eyes through the last 2 episodes. i came into this drama knowing that it'll have a sad ending but never could i realize how beautifull it is.

ksw (the handsome prince) and cjw (charming cinderella) act very well together. ksw the prince, no matter how magnanimous he is, ended up still waiting for her. as for cjw's character, you just can't hate her in this movie - she showed Jungsuh as the kind soul but still human in that she will fight back when push comes to shove.

the evil stepmom and stepsister (kth) were really good at their parts. kth play her part very well as a naive selfish girl that never mature until perhaps the end. and the stepmom is really evil, using both her daughter and son to achieve her selfish goal.

the only disappointment, very little, is the Jungsuh's father who is a professor that is blind to everything until the very end.

This is a must SEE IT kdrama. the director didn't force the storyline, it just felt natural. i hope you enjoy this drama as much as I had.

I LOVED songo's character .. he is the kind of man who I would love to see in dramas.. please please please PLEASE if you know a dramas where it has a man with a characters like him tell me ..

I think the story itself was strong and good and the begning.. but later it became to come not make any sense.. after he found her why they can't be together ??? just cancel your relationship with yoori I don't think its a problem to seprate over. Even later there were so so so much unnecessary tears and scenes. Things were too simple to begin with but they just overrecating about them, just like Spring Waltz !!!

Ok, so I've managed to sit through the agonizing grind that is Stairway to Heaven, and can finally breathe a sigh of relief that it's all finished. Tongue No. seriously, although there were some really draggy episodes and scenes, I thought and the end of the day, it was quite an enjoyable drama.

The beginning was really fast paced for this type of drama and I was wondering whether they could sustain it throughout the series, but alas not. However, the pace (or lack of it), does not define a drama and generally, everything else was done quite well.

But for me, one of the reasons why I didn't like STH as much as I should, is simply because I just don't like Choi Ji Woo. Sorry for her fans out there, but I find her unattractive and unappealing. Don't get me wrong, she is a fantastic actress and played her role well, but I just could not feel sympathy for her in the same way I felt about Song Hye Kyo's character in Autumn Tale.

Another negative aspect of the series is repetition. Do we really need to see Song-Ju and his entourage walk around the mall 127 times? Do we really need so see flashbacks of episode 9 when we're watching 10? Do we really need to see the microphone head 3 times? Tongue

Despite my crticisms, I do recommend any kdrama fan to watch this primarily because the acting was of the highest quality and it turned Park Shin Hye and Lee Wan stars in the own right. Both KSW and CJW did a fantastic job, as did KTH and the woman who played Tae-Mira who both played their roles as villain very well.

To me though, the biggest villain of the series was not Yuri. Nor was it Tae-Mira, but it was Jung-Suh's father. Yep, that's right. Jung-Suh's father. The man who was totally oblivious of his daughter's misery and he was the man who separated Jung-Suh and Song-Ju when he dissallowed her from going to study in the US. It was his ignorance which caused everything to happen, and ultimately,
Hidden:

Jung-Su's death



Well, that's it for me, I'm glad I'm done with it, and I guess I'm also glad I watched it. Looking forward to a light-hearted series next. Should I go with 'Sweet 18' or 'Bad Housewife'? Smile

This is the second KDrama that I watched and I must say that I cried my heart out on the episode 18..

there are many scenes that makes you sad and cry, a few that makes you laugh and I would say that this movie expresses most of all love..

Perhaps it is because of this hope of love that made me more sad.. but in some scene , where I think that in other film won't even touch me, here I was deeply touched..

A film that I recommend as a See it..

Why not life altering? Perhaps because of the ending, perhaps because of some spoiler effect..

p.s : KWS wow.. CJW wow!!!

I could rant and rave about how wonderful and great i thought this drama was. But i'm sure i'd have A LOT of people telling me how much it sucked. Yes they had amnesia, car accidents, evil/good female leads, step brother falls for step sister, evil step mother, cancer and everything else that seemed like overkill. But that made it sooo good!! I admit, there were times i got really fustrated with it, but overall, its a great drama. One i can watch over and over again. Actually im going to go download it again. Smile
