Autumn in My Heart

i just love the girl... that's all :-)

The plot is not really unique, stories like that is very common here... although i still commend it for its thorough simplicity and no-twist plots. The actresses are very much reserved. From the beginning till the end of the series, you wont see anything from them except their face and hands unlike those from Mexican telenovelas. I guess some of Korea's culture and traits are notably and surprisingly similar with us. But the most astonishing thing about the story is its super simple plot. I can't help thinking 'is it the first time Korean's made such love stories'. In this modern story tellings, most dramas would contain so many add ons to complicate things for a series... mostly leads to ruining the entire plot... well well...

but i still love the girl...

I'm just going to write this just for replacement for the previous comment about this drama series, maybe the previous writer was just envy about the beauty of the leading actress. Well, overall, the storyline is good, the actors and actresses really fit their positions especially for first timers like Hye-gyo Song. The ending is beautifully written and very touching. I just hope many would watch this epic drama considering this is one of the best I've seen!

This drama by Suk-ho Yoon was a hit not only in Korea, but throughout Asia. It was the center of the Korean Wave(a cultural craze for Korean TV, music and movies in East Asia) attracting many tourists to Korea as well as Korean actors to Taiwan and other countries.

It's not uncommon to see attractive young heroines in tragic situations, and tangled love situations, but it's more than that. It's about family, strength, and love that just cannot be. The ending is somewhat abrupt, but up to that part, it's mostly good.

Hye-gyo Song's lines such as "I forgive your sins," became a great hit, and the theme music "romance de amor," a Spanish folkmusic that appeared in the movie "Jeux Interdits" breaks your heart whenever it comes out.

The scenery, which takes mainly in the Kang-Won province in the mountainous eastern part of Korea, is wonderful - a trait of Yoon's dramas.

As the first part of the three season-themed dramas, the first part "Gaeul dong hwa" is the best and most original. Personally, the child actors should be highly acclaimed for their acting.

Autumn Fairy Tale is a great drama. Those that didn't fall in love with it, obviously doesn't know the elements of an excellent drama. Even though all of the acting wasn't so great, Song Hae Gyo's skills of acting are magnificent. The story seemed strange at first, but then as I watched the series, I fell in love with it. It's GREAT!!!

. . .to fast-forward through the countless flashbacks and slow (if beautiful) establishing shots. Expect a lot of repetition in themes and even plot events. There's heavy foreshadowing, and the final two episodes still come to a fantastically melodramatic finish.

The basic premise concerns two girls switched at birth, one being from a rich household, the other from a struggling, poor one. They're in grade school before the truth is discovered. In Korea blood-ties are extremely important, so despite the pain each family experiences, the girls are restored to their "rightful" places. Years later, the older brother from the rich family searches for the sister he knew as a child-- and the drama ensues from there.

The cast is extraordinarily attractive, and the acting is-- all right. Won Bin apparently made quite a name for himself with his part as a jaded-player-with-a-heart-of-gold.
