Yi San
Dong Yi
The Moon Embracing The Sun
The Princess Man
Yi San is definitely ranked number 1 when it comes to making me cry. I cried twice in this drama, once in the middle and then again due to a specific scene in the last few episodes. After watching that scene at the end and then completing the drama, I had felt like my life was so out of place and that for a moment I wondered if I'd be able to just carry on with my daily life. It was then that I realised just how emotionally involved I had become with this drama. After watching over 70 episodes, I had become so used to the characters that it almost felt like I knew them personally, and so after the sad scene at the end, it broke me and the dam, thus leading to a waterfall of tears that lasted for DAYS. I thought I could sleep on it and recover but nope. The next day I had gone to rewatch the scene and ended up bursting into tears again. Why had I rewatched the scene? Because it was all I could think of and honestly I had exams the next week and needed to get a grip. Though eventually, after a week I had recovered, a few months later I decided to rewatch an episode at the end, and I think you can guess what happened. Yep. I cried. Again. Yi San does have its boring scenes, but after completing the drama, I don't think I'll ever quite fully get over it.
As for Dong Yi, The Moon Embracing The Sun, and The Princess' man, I haven't got any melodramatic story to tell. All I can say is that they did make me cry a lot. But I quickly got over them. In the case of The Moon Embracing the Sun though, I give all the credit for my tears to Kim Yoo Jung's phenomenal acting. She brought her character to life and made me really share her emotions like they were my own. She was much younger then, and was the best child actress. I expect a lot of great roles from her in the future.
