Have you watched this? Do you plan to?
I have a confession to make ~ I started watching this purely because Hyun Bin is beautiful to look at but I ended up loving it because it is a well written and melancholy love story. If you haven't watched this yet give it a try! Be prepared that it is full on melodrama and have tissues at the ready. See the MDL link above for stats, recommendations and reviews.
