That Winter, the Wind Blows (2013)

What's with the direction

The acting is so-so, with the lead actress pretty good, except her blind walking needs work. She seems to 'see' where she's going, (ie walking up and down steps, walking into new room and not bumping into anything, eg). The lead actor, (my father told me if you don't have anything nice to say about someone don't speak).
The music and scenery s very nice so that is a positive, but the direction is awful. When someone has a disability concerning one sense, usually the other sense are more acute. A blind girl come to the apartment building and talks with her brother's room mate for some time, the next scene that same guy comes to the blind girl and acts as if he's her brother. She never associated his voice to the room mate? A guy comes up to two girls having a cat fight and the next scene you see some other character walking out of a building and one of the girls and the guy are following her? The lead actor is driving a car in the countryside and stops, tells the blind girl to get out of the car as we have to talk about your wedding and the next scene they are in their Chocolate coffee house, which is in the city, talking about the wedding? The lead actor gets stabbed and goes to the hospital and when he walks out of the hospital, gets in a fight and acts as if nothing had happened, stomach is completely healed.
When the distractions become so obvious, it makes the series unwatchable.

i am currently watching this drama and its going great i loooovee the main cast and Eun ji she's just my girl also Kim Bum who doesn't like him anyway the music in the drama gets you indulged into the drama really well,the story is equally funny,romantic,intense and evil in all levels, the story is just really really really intense and i don't see how Oh Soo and Yongie is going to have a happy ending i mean finding out your brothers not your brother and plan was to take 7.8 billion won from you and tricking to making think his your real brother while your real brother is actually dead and the reason why he died was cause of him is going to lead to happy ending then i don't know how that's going to play out until i find out. overall this drama is AMAZING and needs a lot of views it definitely worth a watch if your looking for a crazy romance/melodramatic film.

Nine years trying to finish it

It has been nine years since I started to watch this drama and its time I'm not able to finish it, I dont know either cry or laugh.

First of all, gotta say my reviews are based on my own criteria and how many time took me to finish it's one of them and this one had took me so long.
Since the beginning, when I read the sinopsis I was a little bit reluctant about it even if Song HyeKyo, Kim Bum and Jo Insung was there (I was so in love with them in that time, even know a little bit) but the plot for me was so toxic. I don’t know how, if i was in fl's shoes, could fell in love with a man who has been lying to me all the time, know things like that could happened in real life maybe it would be like a syndrome, but since people try to feel identify with the characters and I can't feel conexion with none all of the characters here, I haven't been able to finish it, even if I try, because I don't like to let unfinished dramas (I have a lot anyways) but well, that's my opinion and this is all. Thanks for reading.

Well, to start off this drama was good.That is, until, the last few episodes. Or maybe the last two episodes. I enjoyed the story line, and even enjoyed the movie that this was based off of. But this drama, sort of never went anywhere.

I mean, we still had the same problem with the main character girl. She seemed to go through a character arc and then, she went back to how she was in the 2nd to last episode. I still don't know if she really changed. Her stoic face was enough to scare anyone, and she went overboard when you least expected it, and when you most expected her to go overboard she didn't.


It's very hard to say that this was a bad drama, I so wanted it to be good and end well. I mean, the acting wasn't bad, the music wasn't bad and the plot wasn't bad.


Well, I did start this drama for Kim Bum, and I must say, he was the reason I kept watching. He is really good at acting in this drama, and he almost made the whole drama worth it. So, if you are watching it for Kim Bum, you can get a long way. And you might even enjoy the ending.

I thought this drama was pretty decent. It wasn't bad but it wasn't something I would love to make other people watch..

Story: 8.0/10 It was really good EXCEPT sometimes there were I guess not really plot holes but like... idk, sometimes there's this one scene I don't really like. I thought the ending was kind of rushed. There's plenty of romance so yay for romance lovers! If you've watched Angel eyes, this drama has less romance than that, just saying. There's suspense in it too so yeah yay for suspense lovers. Again, I didn't really like the last episode.

Acting/Cast: 9/10 I watched this for Song Hye Kyo and I was not disappointed!! These are experienced actors/actresses so really nice acting. :)

Music: 7.5/10 don't think anything stood out to me.

Rewatch Value: 7/10 ehh... I have a bunch of other dramas to watch

Overall: 8/10 tbh it's more of an 7.8 to me but that's not a # on this scale haha so yeah 8 i guess.
I'm not a romance lover if you're wondering. I like a little of everything mixed in to balance it out.

this really one of the most amazing dramas i've seen from a while

but really it had two huge problem that bothered me so much
first
the Cinematography ... the angle of the shots was extremely bad it was too near
which made me didn't enjoy the drama much
as if the director was really a beginner

second
the Epilogue ... this is the worst one i've ever seen really
the KDrama always it's end so weak and horrible
this drama was really amazing till the last ep.
extremely bad for me
it explains nothing .. and so cold

and what made me literally mad
that oh young was capable to forgive the Secretary while she was the main reason of her blindness
but she told oh soo i can't forgive you
from my point of view i saw him did nothing except changing his life to be better person for her
he never hurts her in any way except he was obliged to lie at the beginning

i really loved every min. in this drama but as i said before except the end although it was happy it was the lamest and lukewarm epilogue i 've ever seen it frustrated me so much
they literally ruined the drama as if u bought a cake and someone before u eat put mud upon it :(

Ambiguous ending. Sort of dislike that, but the ambiguity DOES work in the story.

Beautiful, fantastic drama. Some folx are uncomfortable because of the incest overtone, but if you remain aware of the blind woman's isolated upbringing, those overtones aren't so cringing.

I highly recommend. I would re-watch

Non so voi ma a me questo è strapiaciuto poiché ho visto il ceramista di boys before flowers nei panni da delinquente ahahhahah; questa volta ci troviamo nei panni del protagonista delinquente ahahahhaha dove lui non è ricco e non viene neanche da una famiglia nobile, non ha lavoro, guadagna denaro solo con il gioco d’azzardo… è uno dei personaggi più alti degli attori coreani quindi immaginate lo sbavo di ragazzo la protagonista è bella, dolce e moltoooo intellettuale… mi è piaciuta tanto la storia poiché lui si avvicina a lei in un molto schifoso e peneso (a mio parere) fingendosi suo fratello ma che poi lui sistema tutto facendosi perdonare… lui cerca a tutti i costi di prendere parte dell’eredità della famiglia di lei, solo per questo si avvicina ad essa…. Lui farà tanto per lei poiché inizia a provare affetto , mentre lei pensa che questo affetto che provano entrambi sia solo affetto fraterno….
