Winter Sonata
Dear drama lovers,
yesterday I finished watching Winter Sonata. I learned that it is a very popular drama that started the world "korean drama fever". And I have to admit: I quite dont understand why.
It is the kind of drama that is way too sentimental and plays on your emotions. I personally dont like this kind of dramas, It is like someone pour a bucket of honey on your head, not so pleasant, eh? But it is not just it.
The plot is quite interesting, but the pace of the story is very slow. I mean veeerrryyy slow!! Everyone is saying: " I am sorry" ALL THE TIME! And it is unbelievable all that happens to the male hero: he has an accident, after which he looses his memory, his mother thinks it would be better if everyone thinks he is dead, so she lets it be, not telling anything to anyone. Then she decides to implant him new memories, so he WOULDNT KNOW!! Then he has another accident, after which he REMEMBERS EVERYTHING!! And then, so we wouldnt be bored, he has a hematom in his brain which is pressing on his eye nerv. He leaves for United States to have a surgery, but he RETURNS BLIND!! WHAT THE HELL!! DID HE HAVE THE SURGERY OR NOT!!! WHY IS HE BLIND??? We just dont know, ahhgrr so frustating!!! But after all this it is a miracle he is only blind.
Dont get me wrong. I know there are worse cases, like Princess man, where the male hero dies in every episode and still somehow survives.
I really liked Bae Jong Jun. But thats about it. Maybe I didnt understand something, but I really dont get what is so legendary about this drama. So my rating is 6 out of 10.
