Beautiful, but not recommendable

"This drama is so beautiful, and I enjoyed it when it was broadcasted in Japan.



However, I later knew that the version which had been broadcasted in Japan was "director's cut" edition, and that each episode only lasts for around 50 minutes.

In original "uncut" version, each episode lasts from 50 upto 68 minutes, and I think this is a big difference. I once had a chance to see "uncut" version, and I enjoyed it very much!



I bought this DVD because I thought this was "uncut" edition (there were 20 episodes, and here, it says "Run Time: 1200 minutes"), but when I saw this, I noticed that this was almost the same as "director's cut" edition, broadcasted in Japan. I think I made a big mistake!



If you want to enjoy "uncut" version, I would recommend you to buy Korean edition with English subtitle (there are "special features", but no English subtitle ).



Sorry for my poor English!"

"After viewing a few episodes online, I decided to purchase this mini-series. Even not knowing the language, I could tell there were many edited scenes from the original series. The story is good. The actors/actresses are good but in my opinion the editing was much to be desired. Still a good story but more of the original should have been left in for all to see."

"i thought it was a great series, the music was beautiful and i thought the cast was more realistic than normal, apart from the obligatory heart disease which they just had to throw in. if you skip episodes 2-4 or just hold the fast forward button cause it's basically rather unnecessary then everything's great. it's a very pure train wreck coincidence romance. it was refreshing to have a sweet girl instead of sassy lead female, and a non-businessman lead role, cause business really is boring in real life."
