    It didn't give me what I needed

    I'm Sorry, I Love You is a maudlin story not balanced by uplifting qualities, in my opinion. Several times per episode you would have to endure one or more characters collapsing and being taken to hospital. Many scenes occur in hospital rooms. It's repetitive and a waste of your time because those characters will get up and walk around and even run around again to keep the story moving after the repetitive pauses. But the story doesn't move very far. I believe I could describe 16 episodes to you in a few sentences. Most of the time is taken up by the characters pushing and pulling one another, but like ships passing in the night rarely making meaningful contact. A perfect example is a scene in which most of the main characters are happily gathered for a joyful occasion completely unaware of their missing family member/friend's vulnerability and desolation. They should have known. It never gets better than that. Do you want to watch a program about that? On a different occasion another character finally says - I love you - over the phone! During 16 episodes a certain character might share only one or two thoughts with another that move the plot. You would wonder what took so long. I was intrigued by the pushing and pulling and I expected resolution - finally - but I was frustrated and not satisfied in the end.

    Melodrama at its finest

    This is one of my all-time favorite Korean dramas (along with Padam Padam; Rooftop Prince; Missing You; Crash Landing on You; One Spring Night; and Goblin). If you are engrossed by sweetly acted, sad shows with some mystery, can suspend some disbelief to swallow the intriguing story lines, and want to cleanse out those old tear ducts, you will enjoy this show! If you haven't seen the others yet and are here because you liked this one, find them and watch!

    Man, this drama is awesome!...

    This drama was awesome because of many reasons. First of all the scenery was winter which made it perfect for the characters to dress fashionably. The characters were also really cool. I liked the way the characters were all very extreme, and that there were no boring characters. You either liked the character in the drama or you hated their guts. The music (noon ae kouth "snow flower") in this drama is awesome too.

    In addition, this series is not too long (16 episodes), so you could watch it in just one day. The drama is good from the start, but there was one part that I did not like, which was the episodes 11 and 12. But the ending of episode 12... !!! but the ending of episode 12 really gets you back into the series. Another thing that I did not like about the series was that in about 2 scenes the microphone can be seen. However, this drama is truly still the best I have ever scene and I have shown this drama to my family and friends, and none have not liked it. Man I cant describe why this series was so great, but one thing I do know is that everybody should watch this drama. It will probably change the way your live and think forever. All the winters will remind you of this drama... No winter will ever be the same...

    The best drama ever

    I'm Sorry I Love You (Misa doesn't revolve around the typical stereotypes in Korean dramas. The storyline is unique and the acting by the two main leads are nothing short of outstanding. It focuses on a mother's love for her child and how human beings are inevitably, soft-hearted creatures.

    This Drama originally planned to be screened only for 16 episodes, the netizens of Korea demanded an extension and KBS complied by asking the drama's directors and producers to extend by another 4 episodes. However, the makers of the drama refused and said they couldn't and quite frankly, I'm happy they did. In fact, the drama was so popular that KBS even issued a second OST album for it due to overwhelming response. Not to mention that the last two episodes were so sad, that even the makers of the drama couldn't help but cry when the scenes were played out I don't have the vocabulary to describe So Ji Sup's performance in 'Misa'. I had watched him in 'Memories of Bali' and always knew that he was good. But this time he really outdid all of us.So Ji Sup is just perfect for Cha Moo Hyuk With comparisons to her co-star, I loved Im Soo Jung from top to bottom. She was very much what her character required to portray: A simple-minded girl without her own dreams. In the beginning, Eun Chae desired whatever Choi Yoon desired, because Choi Yoon was the epitome of her life. But once she got to know Moo Hyuk, that changed forever. "I'm Sorry I Love You" has a deeper meaning throughout the normal K-dramas we see about love. It dwells more on the humanity of a person

    One of the greatest Korean TV series ever.

    Have you ever listened to a TV series intro which would make you cry even the series ended 15 years ago? I can tell you that this TV series was shown in 2004 but its audiences would still wet their eyes in 2019 when the theme song "Snow Flake" started.

    Yes, I agreed that too much tears, sickness, coincidence and amnesia happened in South Korean TV series and made you feel déjà vu. But this one was exceptional because it starred by So Ji Sub.

    So Ji Sub was one of the top actors in South Korean and all his works would move you just by his eye sight, his body movement or his voice. His character in this TV series was natural born tragedy. Audiences would feel for him no matter he was good or bad. When he laughed, we laughed. When he cried, we cried. This TV series was unofficially voted as fans' all time favorite. Want a good cry? You come to the right place.

    Take a chance to watch this TV series and you will not regret for the time spent on it.
