The actors were definitely seasoned and I have just added JKH to my list of best actors. I liked him in Heartless City but now I am in awe of his acting ability.
I liked the music because it had a patriotic feel to it which I felt went well with the story plot.
As for re-watch value....quite a difficult one for me to rewatch because it is such a depressing drama.

Hwang Jung Eum is an actress that I used to hate, but she is getting better. She does well in the emotional scenes of Seo In Ae. There are times though that she falls back into that expressionless face which is so annoying. Ryu Soo Young does a passable job as Kwang Hoon. His character is a jerk. So, I guess him frowning all the time was acting. Then there is Jung Kyung Ho as Kwang Chul...OMG...he can act. I felt more for his character than anyone else in the drama. Jung Woong In is excellent as Park Yeong Tae. That creepy smile can give a person the shivers. I was disappointed that I didn't see more of Kim Joon. The other actors are good too.
The music is OK.
I won't ever rewatch this, but it is one that can be rewatched.
If you like politically motivated, period dramas, then you would probably enjoy this.

This drama had lot's of depressing moments, the only reason I continued to watch was for Kwang Chul - he was the star of the show to me (not In Ae) In Ae frustrated me several times!
I don't have much else to say since I am so disappointed by how this drama turned out in the last 10 minutes....Let's just say this drama is pointless - throughout the entire drama we hold on to this one small smidgen of hope and it basically gets kicked out the door by the end :'( I am disappointed beyond words...I wasted my time watching this drama - I'm so so so so mad at the writer >_< this drama could have been a 8.5 but with the way it ended crushing all my hopes it goes down to a 3.0
I will NEVER re-watch this drama >_<
the Title - Endless Love - turns out to be a pointless love >_<
Characters: Kwang Chul who is in love with In Ae, get's beaten probably more than is humanly realistic - in real life he probably would have died within the first 3 episodes...He has like 9 lives on this drama...
In Ae, a girl with revenge on her mind - my problem with it - she tells the people that she's after them - talk about asking for a death wish! We see her in and out of prison several times and in and out of the hospital several times - but she never learns to sharpen her knife quietly....so frustrating...
Kwang Hoon - a power hungry jerk is how I explain him best. I never liked him.
Se Kyung - the most annoying character on this drama in my opinion - I hated seeing her all the time - I seriously wanted her to disappear or at least stay FAR away from Kwang Chul - but she doesn't listen...
Villians, what can I say they are evil but not any different from other villians I have seen on other dramas.
Music: I Love You by Jo Sung Mo - my favorite song - and I will still listen to it - even though I ended up hating this drama.

I will simply say I am disappointed because I had expected something different when watching it. I am also extremely disappointed because for so many episodes they showed the life, love and relationships of the female lead in the ending that they gave her although it was it awful it was just a gratifying for me. So if you were into mellow drama and romance or simply just a really good romance series I would really not recommend this. This series was 90% hardship and grief. I found myself watching this and thinking like the writers really overdid it with the obstacles that one character was facing. What really killed this for me was that they did an amazing job of showing the love, commitment and dreams of one of the male leads and even when it’s far as showing how much he cares Only to say nah, you be with this person. Complete let down.

Endless Love is not a romantic drama, it is the story of three main characters (Seo In Ae, Han Kwang Hoon, and Han Kwang Chul) who lost a parent at the hands of the unscrupulous Park Yeong Tae and their endless determination to avenge their parents and bring the perpetrators to justice. This drama fails at presenting a love story but it achieves to present social and political events, atrocities, and the abuse from those in power against individuals that fought and strive to bring during democracy in Korea. The acting from some of the main characters could’ve been better with the exception of Jung Kyung Ho as Han Kwang Chul whose endless love for Seo In Ae (played by Hwang Jung Eum) could move mountains but was never reciprocated by In Ae who had an endless love for Han Kwang Hoon (played by Ryu Soo Young). Overall, Endless Love is not about love and the ending, although it shows closure for all the important characters, is insipid and illogical. Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Most intense, real and Beautiful story I've ever seen
Hey guys,I want to say that this tv drama is one of my favs. Well written and the plot is very strong. The main lead is a female, wich I prefer.
The story revolves surround In Ae, an amazing girl willing to change her reality and of those around her. She is a fighter, someone who hates injustices and believe me she will suffers a lot of this. The middle plot is about she being in love with a man and his brother being in love with her.
Hwang Jung Eum is an amazing actress, I really can't understand why people keep saying she can't act. I knew her through The secret and there she is really amazing. Then I found out about this soap opera and wanted to watch because of her. In this production she gives her best. ***spoilers ahead***
The tortures scenes are very real because of her acting, and the whole ordeal she goes through we can feel her pain. She is really great. I really have no idea why people keep saying otherwise *****
Anyway, its a must watch!
