5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Korean Dramas ever, February 13, 2007

This review is from: AUTUMN IN MY HEART KOREAN DRAMA 8 DVDs with English Subtitles (DVD)

This drama has no sex, violence, or even foul language. But it is one of the greatest romantic dramas you will ever see.

It was a huge hit in Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Phillipines, and even North Korea (smuggled in through China). This drama almost single handedly started the Korean Wave (Hallyu) throughout asia and has led the way for other Korean Dramas gaining a huge fan base and viewership.

Although this drama is now over 6 years old, the theme of this drama is eternal. You can watch this drama many times without being tired of it, which to me, is one of the best tests of a good drama.

The music of this drama is heartwrenchingly beautiful. The soundtrack of this drama was also a big hit throughout asia.

So what makes this drama so special?

I believe the producers went through great lengths to depict true love. For example, the producers filmed the drama in a remote village where people have a strong sense of community and humanity. The village is surrounded by beautiful trees, clear rivers, and wide open spaces. It is not so surprising a love of innocence and purity can be formed between two people in such a surrounding.

The child actors in this drama were unforgettable. They were even better than their adult counterparts!

This drama propelled its 3 main actors into stardom in Korea. It also propelled one child actress (Moon GeunYoung) and one supporting actress (Han ChaeYoung) into stardom. Song Seung Hun (Joon Suh), was the veteren actor at 24 at the time. He was by far the most polished of the actors. Won Bin (Tae Suhk), who was only 22 at the time, also acted well. Song Hae Gyo (Eun Suh), who plays the main female character, was only 18 and it was her first role. Her lack of experience on center stage was little bit apparent in many scenes. But she still did a commandable job since her role was a very demanding and complex one.

Contrary to popular opinion, I do not believe this drama is overly sad. Although you will cry throughout this drama, it is only because the happy moments are so touchingly beautiful, and when sad things happen to people who were so happy, the sadness becomes more compellingly felt.

Autumn In My Heart has left me quite speechless. I sit here after watching this, emotionally drained and pondering my thoughts about what's really important in life. This is a story about family and life, but it's also mostly about love. I am talking about true love here. The kind of love only a lucky few can find. No need to go any further in describing this series.

Almost every actor was perfectly cast for their roles and they all did an admiral job. Of course, the make-or-break role was that of Song Hye-Gyo(Eun-seo). She delivered! The child actors who performed early on also did a remarkable job.

With 16-episodes, it would be easy to find some faults in any series, and if I looked hard enough, I could find a few here. One of the male leads, who runs the hotel and also has some serious anger issues, has a sketchy relationship with his parents, but we never see them included in the story. There is also a very mean brother of the lead actress and the show makes an attempt for him to re-deem himself and it somewhat failed to work. Also, the ending does drag on a bit in the last two episodes, but these are very minor complaints.

This is the best put-together kdrama I have seen so far, and I have already seen at least 10 of them. It's also the highest ranking I have given. I don't give out five stars easily.

Don't expect much comedy from this series, but do expect to be emotionally moved. Do expect to cry uncontrollably. Do expect to mentally revisit certain details of this series long after in ends. Do expect to have an urge to seek out the soundtrack. There were several times that as one of the DVDs ended, I would just leave it in the player and let the small piano-sample of music play over and over again as I reflected on what I just saw.

This series had a profound cathartic effect on me. If I were a marriage counselor, I would keep 20 copies of this show on my shelf, and it would be prescribed as the first part of therapy to be watched together. I highly recommend you purchase this series.
