Beloved Eun-dong

Giving 9 stars because I really enjoyed it. I usually avoid watching dramas that involve children paternity rights however when I started this I didn't realize it had that element in the theme or I wouldn't have watched it. I watched the whole drama anyway once I found out since I was already into it and it was bothering me the whole time that our main male lead got robbed of raising his own son for 10 years. It is such a sad, sad unfortunate story but was glad to see how things turned out in the end. I was very disappointed in one element of the ending though - which is my reason for not giving this 10 stars - the son said that the next time he saw his real birth father he would call him "DAD" and we never got to see that. I think that should have been included in the ending; the female lead could have walked up holding his hand and he could have called him dad or something along those lines. This important part was left unfinished and left the viewer with a hole in their heart.

My friend recommend this drama to me or i will not watch it. The female lead is not pretty is only the 2nd lead in secret garden. Male lead is a bit too fat. But turn out the male lead's acting is superb. Second male lead act equally good. To be a false and handicapped husband, his look is not kind of typical villian, but is a sick man that will arouse your sympatby. The 2 marks is deducted because i do not appreciate very much acting of female lead. Seems she is of the same expression for most of the time.

But overall it is still a splendid drama. The plot is creative and is not illogical. Once you begin you cannot stop seeing it.

I think the story was simple but the acting pf the characters seem realistic. I like the love scene on the stairs because it is so sweet and I can feel their emotions. I feel bad for the other guy though. It is very realistic to choose the one you love than the one you pity, but still it hurts.

Just loved the story and acting of Joo Jin Mo was superb. He is an amazing actor and is very handsome. It's was my first Korean drama and has become my favourite now. The story is beautifully written and touches your heart. The soundtrack is so so romantic awesome.

In Episode 1 of this 2015 melodrama, the handsome, popular actor Ji Eun-ho walks from his dressing room onto the stage at a press conference, and a Q&A occurs.

Reporter: "What's the best thing about being famous?" Eun-ho: "It'll be easy to find the person I'm looking for."

Reporter: "Who are you looking for?" Eun-ho: "My fiancée."

Reporter: "What's her name?"

Before Eun-ho can answer that question, the story flashes back 20 years to when he was in high school and met and fell in love with Eun-dong, a girl in upper elementary school who had befriended him. By the end of Episode 1, Eun-dong has disappeared from his life, leaving him bereft and, unbeknownst to him, at the beginning of a long journey to find her.

That journey-their shared destiny-is at the heart of "This Is My Love." The journey will be long, winding, and filled with obstacles and mystery. In the language of '60s hippies, their journey will be "heavy." I found the series so heavy that I couldn't binge-watch the series. I needed a break from the tension now and then.

The two of them met-by accident, literally-when he was 15 and she was about 10, and they immediately formed a strong bond with each other. They swore allegiance to each other and sealed it with a handshake akin to a pinky swear.

Within days, however, that bond was torn when Eun-dong was orphaned by the death of her grandmother, adopted by a couple, and moved from her home in Chuncheon to Seoul. Eun-ho's twenty-year search for Eun-dong leads him to the press conference and his public declaration of his love for her. His search for Eun-dong immediately becomes a huge story in the media.

The characters, all played very well by an outstanding cast, include childhood friends and acquaintances of Eun-ho and Eun-dong; supportive parents and Eun-ho's sister; liars; and self-interested schemers.

The story of a twenty-year quest to find a loved one surely resonated with people on the Korean peninsula, which has been divided since 1945, when the Soviet Union and United States divided Korea along the 38th parallel and then occupied northern and southern portions, respectively. This division was to have been temporary, but it has endured for 74 years because Korea became-and still is-a pawn in the Cold War. Families with members on both sides of the divide have been separated from their loved ones for generations.

The excellent script, direction, and acting will keep you watching and wondering what will happen to the two lovers, whose lives and story play out in newspapers, on television, and in Eun-ho's book about his search for Eun-dong. I hope that you find this series as enjoyable as I did.
