A heartwarming family love story

It is heartwarming to watch “Golden Pouch”. The lead characters, Dr. Han Seok-Hoon (portrayed by Actor Jin Yi Han/Kim Ji Han) and Ms. Geum Seol-Hwa (portrayed by Actress Ryu Hyo Young/Jung Woo Yeon) portray pure love, a match made in heaven. The lead characters Dr. Han and Ms. Geum have a remarkable on-screen chemistry that is second to none; the best couple so far in any K-dramas. One could feel instantly the on-screen chemistry brewing when the lead characters meet by the river in the city of Namwon on the first episode in “Golden Pouch”. The initial appearance of the lead character Dr. Han on the river side makes one’s heart flutter.

There are so many heart wrenching episodes, especially when the dumpling store was destroyed by bad "untrue" comments on the internet, The screenwriter is very skillful in resolving heart wrenching issues. Every episode in "Golden Pouch" has an ending that leaves audience in suspense. It is worth waiting. All lead/supporting actors and actresses perform so well, notably Mr. Ahn Nae Sang that portrays character Geum Jung Do, the dumpling store owner. He seems to lead and works as a catalyst to make the story so engaging. The characters that are involved in the multifaceted love triangle convey the pain they feel so vividly. The audience could almost palpate the intense pain of Dr. Han in loving Seol Hwa, the tender love between Seol Hwa and Dr. Han, the hatred of Bae Min Hee toward Seol Hwa, and the want and desire of Yoon Jun Sang/Kang Shil Woo to have Seol Hwa by any means. It is worth noted too that Actor Jin Yi Han/Kim Ji Han that portrays Dr. Han Soek Hoon character conveys all different dimensions of emotions from an arrogant genius cardio thoracic surgeon (Dr. Han Seok Hoon), to a man that loses his memory, to a man that feels the pain of loving Miss Geum Seol Hwa (the love of his life), to a man that almost loses Miss Geum Seol Hwa to heart failure. Actress Ryu Hyo Young/Jung Woo Yeon that portrays Geum Seol Hwa is fun to watch and really engaging from episode 1 to episode 122 in “Golden Pouch”, her creative acting performance is exceptional in showing the different phases of Seol Hwa emotion. I hope actress Jung Woo Yeo/Ryu Hyong Young will find many good scripts in the future and bloom in her acting performance. Salute to Kim Dae-jin, the director and also to Lee Hye-sun, the writer of "Golden Pouch", it is a beautiful story. I hope MBC would make "Golden Pouch" season II to conclude the story.

However, the ending is an open-ended story; the audience are left to draw their own conclusions for each character from what is shown on the concluding episode. I must say “Golden Pouch” is truly an unforgettable heartwarming K-drama series with beautiful original sound tracks. Salute to Kim Dae-jin, the director and also to Lee Hye-sun, the writer of "Golden Pouch", and the editing/music/sounds department, it is a beautiful story. I hope MBC would make "Golden Pouch" season II to conclude the story.
