This drama is a classic and it is amazing from every point of view. The plot is really dramatic but also full of suspense, the acting is on point from the 2 main actors and I thought they hâd good chemestry. It is a story that shows everyone nothing is unforgivable or impossible when you trully love someone. I trully recommend this to anyone. I watched too many dramas to count, different genres, but still this drama is still în my all time top along with The Princess man, descendants of the sun, my love from another star, master's sun etc. I would compare this drama to another of my favorites: Secret. They are similar in terms of heavy dramatic plot, love that surpasses everything with repentance and time. One word for it: amazing.
I have seen countless dramas, but I have never seen one to surpass this one. I do have some favorites in my list, but this drama means perfection from start to end for me. I do not even know what I have liked best about it.. other than the story which was fantastic, I have to say I LOVED the main characters and mostly her. Hands down, probably the most powerful yet sensitive and just female character I have ever seen. The main actress Moon Chae Won was WOW!!!! I also loved Park Shi Hoo, he is one of the most talented Korean actors without doubt.The main pair's story was beautiful. There were challenges, dramatic events, tragedy surrounding them but they never gave up on each other. I rewatched it too many times and I never get bored. My number 1 all time drama, please see it, you won't regret it!
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!
Along with The princess man, DOTS is my favorite kdrama. It has the most healing effect upon me and really touches my heart and it never fails to give me warmth and it always makes me smile. It is like my own medicine, a medicine of the heart. It is superb. I am very critical when it comes to tv series or movies, really few titles impress me or make me rewatch them. Therefore, I really cannot understand some low ratings that some of you made on this series. It is pure hate from you, because this series is unique, lovely and very well made. I have recommended this to everyone I know, it is a series for all the genders, not only for the romantics. One word: beautiful.
