Missing You is a melodrama which is the genre that I like the most. It has murder, family secrets, kidnapping, etc. I really think the story was well thought out. My only complaint is that there is so much crying in this drama. I have seen other dramas like this where they got the point across with out all the crying. Now, I totally understand why we see the female lead crying through out this drama except for the 14 years that she is "missing". She goes through a lot of BS and is traumatized. However, part of me wishes that the writers had written her character to be a little stronger. Hell, even the guys cry a lot in this drama. Most of the time I don't like this kind of ending for a melodrama, but this time I think it is appropriate. Kim So Hyun, Yeo Jin Goo, and Shin Dong Woo are a group of amazing young actors. They portray a depth of emotion that surpasses their age. Yeo Jin Goo gave an outstanding performance as the young Jung Woo. The look on his face when Soo Yeon goes through what she does (can't tell you as we can't post spoilers) is totally believable. I couldn't believe what they put Kim So Hyun (young Soo Yeon) through for this drama, but she does great. On to the adults...Yoon Eun Hye, Yoo Seung Ho, and Micky are also good. Micky seemed to just pick up Jung Woo's character where Jin Goo left off. I was really impressed. I love Yoon Eun Hye. I have seen everything she has been in except Vineyard Man and she never lets me down. This is no exception. The surprise to me is Yoo Seung Ho. I had no idea he could play this kind of complex character. I would feel sorry for him one moment and hate him the next. Usually I get really tired of a lot of extra characters, but this time I think that it was ok. They don't focus on them a lot and they actually add to the story. I think the actors were good too. The music is ok also. I probably won't rewatch it. If you like melodramas, then this is definitely a must see drama.
