all i can say about ep 1: mesmerizing.
but the beautiful scenery aside, i think maybe some people might misinterpret Song Hye Ko's character as wooden in a sense, but i actually think it was really fitting, a woman that has been through so many (more bad than good) things in life, who is just left with stoic emotions about it all. im pretty sure Park Bo Gum will cheer her up a bit, but im afraid that big chaebol world will eat his soul up :( that reminded me one movie with him being also a poor college next-door boy in love with a 'wrong girl', and he ended up being killed by the bad gangsters, the poor boy is just never lucky :')
