I'd probably vote "life-altering" if it wasn't for the weak last third of the drama. But I adored the first half of it, so I'd definitely tell people to watch it. ^___^ It's my favorite korean melodrama to date.. so I'll probably write a review for it when I have the time to watch it over again.

Hopefully people watch this drama before they watch Winter Sonata, Stairway to Heaven, or Jin Shil (Truth), otherwise they'll just think of this as another "Choi Ji Woo Drama". Is there a Choi Ji Woo drama where either she or another main character doesn't have a lengthy hospital stay, followed by a life-threatening illness, only to come back in the end healthy as ever?

leeunit, check out the 10 commandments of Korean drama thread... Big Smile

After my previous K-drama experiences to that point, the ending was a pleasant surprise. Although Lee Byung's little teleportation act in the last scene was a little amusing...

This drama is as typical as kdrama can get. It follows the Ten Commandments of kdrama to the book. Good or bad, you decide. Tongue

I really enjoyed to see it. It's sure that ti's not the best drama i 've watch but it made me spend a good time. It reminds me a lot Winter Sonata, witch is the first drama i've ever watched ( i love it ....) .I think that the plots are a lot alike especially with the airport scene, the hospital scene......

I guess I have to qualify it as "Life Altering" since it certainly altered my life. I would never have watched K dramas let alone be addicted to them if I had'nt accidentally stumbled on a Lee Byung Hun mesmerising stare scene while I was channel surfing.

I had to wait for a long time to see the entire series (but stuck on dedicatedly to the endeavour) & am still waiting for an eng subtitled DVD release (probably never going to happen).

Actually if I look at it objectively the plot sucks & has so many holes & melodrama it should have sunk on the very 1st episode or for sure in the middle when the writer was clutching at straws... . But Mr. Lee carried the drama for me on his very able shoulders - he is so charismatic & makes the chemistry with CJW look so real....

CJW's sweet innocent, devoid of make-up look seemed so touching - its only when I saw subsequent dramas of hers that I realised she is basically the same in all of them. And unfortunately her "constant sobbing" in all her dramas is getting on my nerves.
All the same she really fit the role in Beautiful Days & was good.

To any one who has'nt seen this drama I'd definitely say grab the first opportunity & see it. I won't call it Life Altering in general (just altered mine by introducing K dramas to me) but I'd certainly call it a "Must See"

I was hooked for the beginning 2/3 of the drama. Towards the end it got draggy and I watched all of DISC 6 in fast forward mode.

I really liked Ryu Shi Won ... he was such a cutie.

I was impressed with Lee Byung Hun's hot and sexy looks at Choi Ji Woo. Many times he looked like he just wanted to jump into bed with her. Hehehe.

I have to say, if you are only going to watch one kdrama in your life time, this is the one you must see. It is MUCH better than the popular series such as Winter Sonata or All About Eve, where the actresses cry their eyes out for no reason, or everyone being happy all the time. In summary, there is major real life emotional conflict in this series that is missing in most other kdrama. Go see it!

I was studying at Yonsei when they were filming this drama in Shinchon (Victory records = the old tower records near the subway). It was fun to see them filiming something one week and have it appear in a drama not too long after. I remember once several of the production crew just stoped and stared as I walked out of Ewha's gate late at night. (note for any caucasian men studying in korea. although the guards will stop korean looking men trying to enter Ewha's gates after dark, they won't stop "foreigners" because there is a coed language school on campus - note for guys wanting to study in korea, Ewha is the largest women's univ in Asia)

It was good the first time I watched it (though melodramatic as all Korean drama are) and seeing this discussion makes me want to watch it again.

Also... does anyone know the name of the KDrama with two rival Chinese restaurants and and a romeo and juliet kind of thing going on? I've been meaning to watch that again too...
