That Winter The Wind Blows



I just loved the title of this Korean drama. It made me think if the grammar is just correct and analyze the structure and the message of it. What about the winter? what about the wind? It's just funny. And I still keep on thinking what other words can be the title of this out of the words that winter the wind blows.


Bad boy look Kim Bum


Moving on, here's another melodrama that I've recently watch and I liked it. The story is good. Actually I think its better than Missing You. Or, okay they're both great but I prefer this TWTWB . Maybe its because of the story. Its not so dark like in Missing You and there were no boring scenes. I especially like Kim Bum here. His cuteness has turned into handsomeness. Bad boy look suits him.



So the story goes like this. Oh Soo (Jo In Sung) pretended to be the Oh Soo that was the son of the owner of a big company in Korea and who has a blind sister who is Oh Young (Song Hye Gyo). This is to get the shares of the real Oh Soo who died a year after to pay for his debt from an illegal gambler Mr. Kim, who accused him of embezzling his money. Oh Soo did everything to prove to anyone that he's the real Oh Soo that was the brother of Oh Young. It was difficult to tame Oh Young at first but then he got the trust of Oh Young in the end. So they had sweet moments together and they get along very well to the point that they sleep together every night. Unknowingly, during the times that they've been getting along well, Oh Soo's growing feelings for Oh Young and Oh Young to Oh Soo. Knowing that it's wrong, Oh Young asked for some distance to Oh Soo and thought to rush her marriage with her fiance Lee Myung Ho. Oh Soo have also convinced Oh Young to undergo a surgery to treat her brain tumor and blindness. So they set everything, Oh Young's marriage after the surgery. But then, Oh Soo's ex-girlfriend who can't let go of him and who was the real culprit of embezzling the money demanded to go with her to Italy and live together, if not she'll spill the truth to Oh Young that he's not the real Oh Soo her brother but the Oh Soo the conman. Oh Soo didn't come so she immediately called Oh Young to reveal everything and leave for Italy alone. Oh Young became cold to Oh Soo afterwards but didn't confront him. Oh Young's already been aware that people around her are just taking care of her because of her money but she just stayed quiet all those years. One day Oh Soo and Oh Young went on a trip together. That's their last trip together because Oh Soo planned on leaving after Oh Young's surgery. On that trip they have finally confronted each other Oh Soo knowing Oh Young already knew about his identity and Oh Young knowing Oh Soo's identity. Oh Young told Oh Soo to leave when they came back to Seoul. In Seoul, Oh Young have also told Secretary Wang, her stepmother who caused her blindness and embezzled money from their company to leave. She also cancelled her marriage with Lee Myung Ho knowing Secretary Wang and him connived on this. The one that's left with Oh Young was Lawyer Jang who was his father's friend and who truly cared for Oh Young. Oh Young gave money to Oh Soo before he leaves but Oh Soo just took a bundle of it to pay for Jin Sung's (Kim Bum) debt who got involved because of him. On the day of surgery, Oh Young tried to slash her wrist. Fortunately, Oh Soo came and called the doctor immediately. The surgery was set again on another day. Before the surgery having a 50% successful rate, Oh Soo and Oh Young have talked about all the truth and confessed their love. How and why Oh Soo changed to live his life as a decent person because of Oh Young and how Oh Young was hurt but still loves Oh Soo. So they promised that if the surgery is successful they'll see each other again. But then, Oh Soo gambled his life again to free himself from his debt to Mr. Kim. He end up getting stab by Jin Sung who was forced to do it to save his family as per Mr. Kim's condition.



It's so heartwarming and heartbreaking watching the last scenes of the drama. Actually all of the scenes but of course last scenes have more impact. From Young's confession which I understand how she feels (cause I have the habit of putting myself on the actress'/actors' shoe) to Jin Sung's having no choice but to kill Oh Soo whom he's very loyal with. This drama didn't bore me at all. And there are twists which make it more exciting.The love story between the two lead casts was romantic, not cheesy at all.

Gladly, though it looked like a sad story it has a happy ending. You'll thought that Young's surgery wasn't successful and Oh Soo was dead. But no no no! I'm happy cause at least even just a little Oh Young got to see Oh Soo and Oh Soo was alive quietly keeping an eye to Oh Young. And they got to freely love each other.

Happily ever after








Here's some clip of the drama. I also like the songs. It suits the drama, the scenes, the story and everything.
