autUmn in mY heArt




Autumn in my Heart ReviewYun Jun-suh and Yun Eun-suh love each other very much to the point that both the brother and sister stick together like glue. It's rare to see them separated unless in school and even there, it's hard not to see that they'll always be together. In addition to the love they have for each other, they have the love of their lovely wealthy parents. Choi Shin-ae can only dream of a life like Yun-suh and Jun-suh however, her life is their complete opposite. Her brother is a thief and her mother owns a restaurant and is abusive towards her because of their financial problems created by her older brother and her deceased father. Shin-ae, unlike Eun-suh, is the smartest student in the class even though her life is so unbearable. One day, Eun-suh is hit by a car, and Jun-suh and Eun-suh's world completely changes. Later, Shin-ae's life is also completely changed after Eun-suh's doctor reveals her blood matches neither her mother nor her fathers. Following that revelation, a heart wrenching separation occurs and even later, the introduction of "forbidden love." What will happen to Jun-suh and Eun-suh's glue-like relationship? I couldn't help but cry a lot during this drama. The story was sad and moving. It made me feel like everyone can overcome all obstacles as long as you stick together. Of course the romance in the drama can be considered "forbidden love" but it's really a love you wish could be accepted. It was beautifully played. With so much affection from all the characters, the realization of wrong, and the wishing that the past could be changed, created a story was very good. There was innocence, concern, anger, revenge; there was everything in this drama and each character's personality was portrayed perfectly. Song Hye Kyo, who played Eun-suh had a very innocent and pure look to her and she was unbelievably sweet in her role. Each time she shed a tear, I found myself shedding one too. If I'm correct, this is the actress's first major role in a drama and I was not left disappointed. Her ability to play Eun-suh in the story moved me. Apart from being incredibly handsome, Song Seung Hun, who played Jun-suh showed great acting. You could see the emotions in his face and you could see his confusion and desire to be with the one he truly loved. Won Bin, without a doubt was a brilliant and gorgeous third wheel as Han Tae-seok. I feel in love with his generosity and his willingness to let the woman he loved go to give her happiness. Enough with the characters I loved…now for the ones I HATED! Han Chae-Young who played Shin-ae was so good at being the villain, I just hated her (in this case it's a good thing)! When she was jealous, you hated her, when she acted in revenge, you hated her, when she showed up and opened her mouth, you hated her! I hated her and damn, she played a good villain! The next one was Jun-suh's fiancĂ© Shin Yu-mi played by Han Na-na. She pissed me off trying to destroy a love that could not be tarnished in the past. Her ways to keep her man from leaving her were just plain wrong, but it did bring more drama to the story.
