This drama is truly a classic. The music was mesmerizing, absolutely superb, and it was the first time I ever saw Shin Min Ah and since then, I have watched everything from her. However, even if she does a great job, she is not the one to steal the show. The part that Rain did... was an award winning one. He completely surpassed all my expectations, I have never seen a more engaging and emotional act from a Korean actor.. I really felt the urge to applaud him for one of the best acting scenes I have ever seen. Even though I have seen this series 12 years ago... it's still present in my heart. The story was a tragedy, dramatic and sad but filled with hope, emotion and second chances. One of the best dramas I have seen, hands down. I didn't enjoy the ending, but I understood it. I really recommend this story to anyone, it's a life lesson!
