hahaha thats cool and not crazy at all. i think i'm also there, i watched it 13 times already, and every time i watch it actually gets better! i adore kwon sang woo, and this movie is def kim hee sun's best performance yet. the chemistry between them is powerful and completely believable. the only problem that i had was the kim hee sun's aunt. she became very tedious and annoying after her initial appearance.

I can't bring myself to watch this cos seeing Kwon Sangwoo cries breaks my heart. I much prefer seeing him in funny and happier roles like My Tutor Friend.
although it also breaks my heart when i see ksw cry, but when he's in those kinda bubbly show, i cant really get used to it, prefer him to be in those sad n heart breaking dramas ....
I think the passionate side of him really looks soo handsome n suave!
Great series, especially with hee sun! I liked the ending, although it IS really sad. The son part actually makes the ending seem to have more of a closure and softens the part with KSW dying. So in a nostalgic sense, KHS gets to have this legacy of KSW even though he died. Very touching.
Oh yes, the name Sad sonata came from the Japanese release, Sad Love Story is with the original Korean release, and Sad love Song is from the Chinese release.

yea this series is sadd. it made me cry for the first time while watching a series. haha. i think there are many different titles to this series? if im not wrong..
this is like my second favorite series. i cried so much.

"The Love story you could have never felt is coming..." -MBC O.S.T. leaflet
Oh, the sweet bitterness of first love. This of course is a common recurring theme in most Korean dramas. Sad Love Song, just as the drama name suggests, delivers a tragic storyline about three characters; through their passion to launch careers in the music industry, their lives are intertwined by fate within the intricate nature of love and friendship.
Three-handed concerto
As a boy growing up, Seo Jun-young (Kwon Sang-woo) hates his social status of being the prostitute's son. He is ashamed of being raised by his single mother (Na Young-hee), who owns a pub at the American army's base area. Humiliated with the endless teasing, insults and bullying at school, Jun-young is frequently involved in fights with his peers. All until he meets Park Hye-in, who showers him with love and diverts his attention to develop his musical talent of becoming a promising composer.
Park Hye-in (Kim Hee-sun) is Seo Jun-young's childhood sweetheart. A tragic infancy resulted Hye-in losing her parents, and then she suffered the loss of her eyesight during a severe illness. Seo Jun-young, as her classmate, first started to help out Hye-in by the request of their teacher. However, within time, Hye-in and Jun-young build a strong bond of friendship that blossoms into everlasting love. Hye-in was raised by her aunt, Audrey (Jin Hee-kyung), who works at the pub owned by Jun-young's mother. She inherited her mother's beautiful voice and enjoys playing the piano with hopes of becoming a renowned singer.
Seo Jun-young's best friend is Lee Gun-woo (Yeon Jung-hoon). They met in the occasion of a bizarre misunderstanding which led to a violent fight between the boys. After Lee Gun-woo and Seo Jun-young beat the crap out of each other, both of them eventually formed a special bond and developed a close friendship during high school. Lee Gun-woo is the heir of his father's successful telecommunications business company in South Korea. The loss of his mother during childhood has impacted Gun-woo's life, which causes him to distrust love. He is a bit rebellious towards his father's requests, as he has an ambitious dream of starting his own music production company.
Fateful tragedy
Seo Jun-young is a tragic character in this drama. His only love, Park Hye-in, continues to be separated from him, while he suffers through a series of misfortunate events without her. He gets a new identity as Choi Jun-kyu, while he lives with his father (Lee Young-ha) in Seoul, for high school registration purposes. During some of the lowest point in his teenage life, his friendship with Lee Gun-woo and Jang Jin-pyo (Mc Mong) alleviate some of his distress.
When Park Hye-in's aunt, Audrey, decides to marry her American boyfriend and seek a new life in New York, Hye-in unwillingly leaves Jun-young to be with her aunt. Life in America turns out to be a complete nightmare. Audrey's abusive husband leaves Hye-in and Audrey to seek another refuge, whilst Audrey looks aimlessly for means of employment to finance their trip back to South Korea.
Coincidently, Lee Gun-woo comes to New York to further his studies at Princeton. Fate brings Park Hye-in to meet Lee Gun-woo at Central Park; it is love at first sight for Gun-woo. He instantly becomes a saviour to Audrey's problems. He helps Hye-in to land singing gigs at a jazz club, finances Hye-in's eye surgery and loves Hye-in with all his heart. He even assists Jun-young to visit New York, in hopes of helping Jun-young find his girlfriend. The attempt fails through a drug trafficking mix-up and Jun-young, destined to be apart from Hye-in, is sent back to South Korea immediately.
Hye-in's life falls apart when she loses touch with Jun-young and receives a false informed letter about Jun-young's death. Lee Gun-woo stands by her through her depressed days, suicide attempts, and Hye-in still passionately lingers onto her first love, Jun-young, who lives in her heart. In the meantime, Gun-woo actively pursues Hye-in, and proposes to her.
Upon the completion of his studies, Lee Gun-woo returns to South Korea with Park Hye-in, and Gun-woo proudly brings Hye-in to visit his best friend, Seo Jun-young (whom he knew as Choi Jun-Kyu from high school). At the first sight of Park Hye-in and Lee Gun-woo together, Seo Jun-young's heart sinks to rock bottom. The turmoil follow suit for all three characters, at the crossroads of choosing love or friendship, depicts one of the saddest melodramas.
Sappy love chaos
The course of true love, or rather, in Korean dramas, is never a smooth one. Similar to other Korean drama clich?s, Sad Love Song revolves around a love triangle plot: two best friends, both having the same love interest. At the climax of the story: Seo Jun-young can't love Park Hye-in for the sake of his best friend Lee Gun-woo; Park Hye-in only loves Seo Jun-young but she is engaged to Lee Gun-woo; Lee Gun-woo struggles with rage to learn that Park Hye-in and Seo Jun-young were childhood sweethearts.
Regrettably, Sad Love Song pretty much follows the conventional tragedy storyline to resolve the love triangle theme. Even during the first few episodes of Sad Love Song, it left an impression that the storyline was going to head towards a path of unexciting plot development and a predictable ending. In fact, the predictability of the storyline is doubly sad given the potential Sad Love Song had.
Moreover, the pace of the plot development just kills the intensity of this drama. It trudges back and forth between the different themes explored in this drama: personal pursuit of career passions; the mixed emotions of love, especially loving with acceptance; friendship; trust; betrayal; forgiveness; revenge; sacrifice; honour; and etc., but seems to lose its focus at times. Then, Park Hye-in and Seo Jun-young's separations and reunions feel endless, and ultimately it doesn't increase the sadness, but rather creates emotional drain for the repetitiveness.
Pre-production roadblock
During the pre-production phase of this drama, it was actually the most anticipated TV drama in South Korea for 2005. All the media hype associated with Sad Love Song prior to filming was just unbelievable. The initial stellar cast consisted of trio: Song Seung-hun, Kim Hee-sun and Kwon Sang-woo, which attracted numerous international investors to finance the drama production cost. Much of the attention was of course, focused on the drama being partly filmed abroad in New York City, one of the world's most famous cosmopolitan cities.
When Song Seung-hun's military draft dodging scandal surfaced in the midst of pre-production phase, it placed the success of this drama at stake, big time. The script was originally written centred on Song Seung-hun's character, Lee Gun-woo, in the story. After Song Seung-hun was confirmed to enlist in the military service, the production team was left in a mess to do damage control; days before the shoot began in New York City.
While the production team frantically tried to find a replacement actor for Song Seung-hun's character, the script was also completely rewritten to accommodate the switch of the main character, placing more emphasis on Kwon Sang-woo's character, Seo Jung-young, in the story. The music video released for Sad Love Song, shot in Australia prior to Song Seung-hun's military scandal, actually highlights the original plot development of this drama.
Playing the part
Song Seung-hun's absence is definitely missed in Sad Love Song. His enticing presence in the music video remains to be irreplaceable. Sadly, his replacement actor, Yeon Jung-hoon, is quite a let down for me. Other than Yeon Jung-hoon?s ability to speak English, his acting skills are not up to par with the expectation of his role in this drama. His portrayal of Lee Gun-woo at times is ridiculous to watch, especially his stiff facial expressions and inconsistent character emotional ranges.
What is supposed to be a sad and sympathetic scene, towards the character of Lee Gun-woo in the drama, becomes tarnished with Yeon Jung-hoon's unpolished acting skills. It makes my heart sink, to watch Yeon Jung-hoon struggle to act in this drama, but you can't blame the guy. He's a newcomer in the Korean show biz, not to mention he is chosen as a substitute, for Song Seung-hun's role on such a short notice, so it's forgiven.
Kim Hee-sun, by contrast to Yeon Jung-hoon and Kwon Sang-woo, is a veteran actress who failed to step up to the plate with her years of acting experience. Her character, Park Hye-in, is a blind girl, who later recovers her eyesight, and has an ambitious dream of becoming a singer. During the first part of this drama, in some of the scenes, the emotions of her character fall flat due to poor delivery of her lines.
Kim Hee-sun's performance has a tendency to change like the weather. Without the usage of her eyes to express emotions and act with eye contact, Kim Hee-sun plays the part of a blind girl using mostly the same expression; those were the overcast days of her performance. However, there were the occasional sunny days to her acting, especially during one of the scenes shot in New York.
It was such a heart-wrenching scene to watch Hye-in flick the light switch on and off, trying desperately to deny reality, and find a path to light her heart. The hopelessness and the depth of her despairs shown in this particular scene proved that Kim Hee-sun is still capable of delivering exceptional performances. Then when Park Hye-in regains her eyesight, Kim Hee-sun transitioned into a better actress and gradually picked up the momentum of the storyline. Even her singing efforts in Sad Love Song should be commended.
On the other hand, Kwon Sang-woo's performance was actually a surprise. His portrayal of Seo Jun-young as a diehard sentimentalist towards his love interest, Park Hye-in, and the sacrifices he's willing to make for his best friend, Lee Gun-woo, touched my heart, hands down. Kwon Sang-woo's ability to shed tears is probably enhanced from his previous role in Stairway to Heaven. I can still recall one of the saddest and most moving scenes from Sad Love Song, when Seo Jun-young was alone in his mother's room after her funeral.
As I watched Seo Jun-young cried whole heartedly while he sorted out his mother's belongings with flashbacks of the past; his sorrow, his regrets and his love towards her was shown explicitly, without one single dialogue. What a flawless performance, even the corners of my eyes were teary while I watched this unforgettable scene.
Many heart-breaking scenes in this drama were carried out beautifully with Kwon Sang-woo's ability to act. His incredibly expressive eyes revealed Seo Jun-young's mixed emotions of anxiety, sadness, anguish, disappointment, disbelief and pain associated with his vulnerability when faced in the plight of choosing love or friendship in this drama. Kwon Sang-woo's depth of acting, as a result, enables viewers to appreciate the believability of his character.
The only little drawback to this role is Kwon Sang-woo's unnatural attempts of playing the guitar and the piano. His character, Seo Jung-young, is showcased in this drama as a genius composer. However, Kwon Sang-woo's inexperience in playing musical instruments was clearly exposed, which I think provided some comic relief during the course of this torturous sad drama.
Making it meaningful
It is rare to have memorable quotes from melodramas, especially a really meaningful one. There is a particular scene, where Lee Gun-woo makes a friendship pact with Seo Jun-young that he wants to be his friend. Not just be any friend to Jun-young, but be the kind of friend, where Indians consider a friend as "someone who carries your sadness on his back." I was awe-struck to hear this dialogue; this is by far the most powerful quote to symbolize a friendship. I have no idea where to trace the root of this quote, but it sure is inspiring and provides thought provoking insights to foreshadow the storyline.
The production team of Sad Love Song should be commended for their efforts. Other than the predictable plot development, Sad Love Song is a visual masterpiece. The costumes, the beautiful cinematography, the visual effects of the action sequences are all qualities that contribute to a visually aesthetic experience for viewers.
Even the haunting instrumental music, theme songs and lyrics compliments scenes of Sad Love Song beautifully. Many of the main theme songs and lyrics were written and sung by Yoon Gun, with a few music compilations sung by: Song Seung-hun, Kim Hee-sun, Yeon Jung-hoon, SG Wannabe, Jo Sung-mo, and Kim Jae-wook. These memorable melodies certainly serve as a poignant reminder of the drama.
There is even some great symbolism in Sad Love Song, or so what I interpreted as symbolic for this drama. The "egg" acts as a symbol of Park Hye-in and Seo Jun-young's relationship. Hye-in loves to eat the egg white and Jun-young loves to eat the yolk. It underlines that they both complement each other, a union of eternal love. Even their chosen career paths, Park Hye-in as a singer and Seo Jun-young as a composer, underscore the ties of their eventual reunion.
Sad Love Song is highly emotional and things can get tearful. I do recommend it for everyone who loves a bittersweet love story and remembers what it was like to fall in love for the first time. Watch this one with a box of tissues and be prepared to feel sad.

Thanx so much nickynisa!
So KSW was the one who died? Wasn't it suppose to be KHS? I guess I must've misunderstood all this time!
I don't want either of them to die! But one of them had to...I'm glad they had a son at the end; the product of their love! 
Was KHS pregnant before or after KSW died?
b4 he died, he proposed and all.... they made love (she got pregnant) and then he died.... really touching.... you should watch the end!
These series made me cry buckets.....
KSW looks great in these series too
The ending made me weep how could they kill KSW

I REALLY want to watch this drama...I saw snippets put together by a fan and I was in tears...I don't really know the whole story and I am already sad...I have been searching for it to be downloaded...I am not sure if this is the place to be asking it but....anyone know where I can download it with hardsubs? I would really appreciate it...it's been almost two years since I wanted to watch this drama...I am desperate...

i lovee this drama!!!.. its so sad.. and its a good storyline!!.. and its in NYC!!!.. =DDD... kwon sang woo does good dramas.. like stairway to heaven and this one.. sad love story =]... oh and Kim hee-sun.. thats se7en's type of girl.. XD
Meethoing - Hi, I'm glad u love this drama many people find it boring and draggy, but I mean, it's a sad drama with hardly any comedy in it, so of course it'll be boring and draggy for those people if they prefer comedy. and really? KHS is se7en's type of girl? when did he actually say that?

Awww that's so tragic!
So KSW knew that KHS was pregnant before he died? That's a relief, I was worried he died before he even knew he was going to be a dad! It's a good thing he knew 
I really want to watch the ending, but I'm still trying to find the last 4 eps with eng subs! I'm having no luck at the moment!
If anyone comes across ep 16-20 with eng subs, PLZ let me know! I'm BEGGING u guys! 
: This is definitely one of the BEST dramas I've ever watched! The chemistry between KSW and KHS is just extraordinary! They're one of my fav couples!
they really should pair up again in another drama (hopefully a more happier one next time!) 
she was pregnant and it never mention anything about joon-young knowing BUT i don't think he knew going to be a dad

I figured that out when I was watching the last ep...though it was sad he died before he learned he was gonna be a dad...but he knew eventually because he's always watching over Hae In and their son from heaven

I wish song seung hun was in there instead of that other actor
I would had loved the drama even more
this drama was too sad for me...I cried buckets
the whole time I was feeling sooo sad for kwon sang woo...
alot of people said that BUT i liked it the way it was because they played as young students i personally thought SSH look a little too mature for the role.....
I've just finished watching this series, and the only reason that I watched it because of KSW.. Oh, he is so georgeus, really !! I think it's a allrite drama overall. It's predictable and yet the way that they set it is great. Obviously, we know that the ending will be sad but O'm glad though that the character didn't die because of sickness.
Good chemistry between KSW and KHS, and such a pity that they have such a little time to be happy together.

I finished this vcd few days ago and I find that it is one of the touching dramas ever! And Ksw can really act well, he got good crying skills too.
I especially like the friendship between ksw and yjh, the way they help each other when the other is in trouble, and the hardship sangwoo and heesun must go through to be together...
KSW rocks!

Hello there,
Well I just want to give a comment: Whenever I hear about Sad Love Song, I always come to think of Kim Hee-sun's melancholic face.. It's just had been Sad Love Song = Kim Hee-sun AND Kim Hee-sun = Sad Love Song.. Hehe.. geometrical congruence.

Sad Sonata is so well delivered it's haunting. I think I will never watch another drama that can stir up so much emotion. There's too much to say about this series...so I'll just sum up to say that from cast, script, OST, to director, everything is perfect. I love love KSW + KHS. By the end of the drama, I'm so affected by their love that it's hard to believe they're only acting. Other than Jeng Geum, this drama is probably the only series with a satisfying ending that left a deep impression on me.
Ah I must be the DVD set for this. There are two w/ Eng subs on Yesasia, one is made by MBC (I think) and the other is a U.S. version. which would you recommend?

i watched this like, a year ago. it was a pretty touching drama but i think it got quite draggy. the main characters had good chemistry though. i think the themesongs were the best.
im watching it just now in youtube. i got addicted to the first episode. the children are so good. kwon sang woo and kim hee sun is so sweet as well but i know the tragic ending already

i'm not sure which is which but i know that there are three versions out there.... do not, and I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THE 9 DISC one..... subtitles are very bad.... the 5 disc one is excellent (i know for a fact because i have this one) and i heard the 7 disc one was also good.....

Rewatching this over Spring Break, I've changed my initial opinions for the drama. I thought it was a good drama originally, but rewatching it carefully these last few days, I really think it's a gem. Granted there were flaws, but then again, what drama doesn't? There's not a single series/drama out there that doesn't have flaws. But anyways, the 2 newly discovered reasons as to why I'm in love with this drama now are 1) the friendship between Gun Woo and Jun Young/Jun Gyu and 2) Yeon Joon Hoon.
I cried so much at the end not because KSW and KHS couldn't be together, but because you could really see the brotherhood between Jun Young and Gun Woo. Their last dialogue exchange was so beautifully done. Gun Woo genuinely loved Hye In and Jun Young..
And of course, Yeon Joon Hoon. I am IN LOVE with this guy! (Oh, and to my understanding Song Seung Hoon was initially offered Kwon Sang Woo's role.) I think he did an outstanding job as Lee Gun Woo...very versatile. From the carefree playboy in the beginning to the mature and one-woman man later. I really think he's probably Korea's most under-rated actor. I've seen his movie "Daddy Long Legs" with Ha Ji Won and he was great. Oh, and not to mention I personally think he's absolutely gorgeous =P Han Ga In is one lucky lady! And one more thing...I loved his crying scenes! They were far minimal in comparison to KSW, which is why I think YJH's were much more memorable.
You guys have to admit, it WAS nice finally having a lead who could actually speak English fluently abroad.

I love this series a lot. ending so sad. I really like Kim Hee Sun and Kwon Sang Woo in here, The songs in here is so good.
i never watch this drama...but i know this movie was a very touching story...I already know from Sad Love Song comic....i read it and totally make me crying...and i never bored to read it over and over again...but i think i should watch this drama...to see all the cast play the role, so i can blend it with this drama.....

anyone know who sing the theme and sub song??
all songs are sung by yoon-gun, the cast themself (well KHS and YJH) and SSH....
oh almost forgot... there were two that were sung by someone else...
sg wannabe and ??? (notsure)
Some one deleted the whole film in youtube. does anyone know where else i can watch it that is direct download?
this is one of the few korean dramas out there that I really really LOVED!!!! omgosh...what can i say about khs and ksw's chemistry...THEY BOTH WERE AMAZING!!! I love their onscreen presence together...gosh...this drama got me crying the first episode already..those little kids were soo good!!! I don't think I've ever cried soo much for a drama before...KSW really proved that he is a TREMENDOUS ACTOR and so does KHS!!!! I thought ksw was really hansome in STH but when I saw this, wow...he's everything..THE SONGS in this drama was definitely one of the best ost ever!!! I love all the songs from SSH's to the other dude (second lead)..lol...last but not least I LOVE SAD SONATA!!!!!
NTDTV is showing this series now and well... as a Kwong Sang Woo fan I had to watch this series! I was prepared to drool again but that didn't happen...
I was bored! I had nothing to do with Kwong Sang Woo but that girl! gosh! I hated her! She was plain, boring...
I had to admit that I just replayed Stairway to Heaven again and no one can compare to drama QUEEN and great actress Choi Ji Woo! Compared to Choi Ji woo Kim Hee Sun is nothing in my eyes. Oh gosh, the scenes when she was blind or singing... it was so boring, not to mention bad acted.
Maybe it's because I just love Stairway to heaven, this series was a total dissapointment... I understand why this series was an hit, why? 1 name: KWONG SANG WOO.

i really liked it, really touching but got bored of it cause all they do is keepp SHOWING FLASH BACKS..its so ANNOYING!
I am one who is not into Korean series, but I watched this one quite recently after I heard so many rave reviews about it....I have to say, it's probably the saddest series I've ever watched in my life! There's not an episode goes by that does not have any sort of tear-shed...the entire series is very deep, moody, but also very touching...and to some, this series may be depressing to watch, because there's just so many tear-shed and bad things happening. I cried buckets-full watching this...even though I don't like Korean series, but honestly, this one is probably the only one I've seen so far that I truly like.

actually no, SSH was originally offered YJH's role of Gun Woo, the story was suppose 2 focus on Gun Woo...but after SSH pulled out at the last min, they had 2 quickly change the storyline so it focused on Jun Young and Hae In's characters.
whatever.. i luv this series the way it was with the people it involved.. i felt bad that SSH wasn't a part of it but KHS and KSW were a perfect match.. it couldn't have been any better. this was diffinitely MY ALL TIME FAVORITE!!! KHS is a great actress, at least better any one of us.. once again SAD LOVE STORY WAS GREAT!!!

I also heard the ratings weren't very high in Korea, but a friend of mine who lives in Korea told me it was mainly because Song Seong Hun was not in it...this series initially received a lot of hype due to it's star cast and big budget, and the main focus was initially only SSH's character after all, many people in Korea were anticipating this series mainly because of SSH...but after he backed out at the last minute, many were so disappointed they didn't bother to watch it, hence the reason why the ratings in Korea weren't as good as it could have been. But it still did pretty well thanks to Kwon Sang Woo; because of his huge popularity, he was able to maintain some of the audience...but yes, if SSH had continued with his role of Gun Woo, then the ratings would have been much higher.
But in spite of that, the series did very well elsewhere, particularly in China, Japan, and the Philippines; I think it topped the ratings list in the Philippines and Japan, and it's ratings in China were quite high also.
Unlike in Korea, whether or not SSH would be in it was not a big issue elsewhere, so not many people in other places really cared if he starred in the series or not, so that could be one reason why the series did better elsewhere.
This series is also regarded as one of the most successful of 2005, so yes, it's certainly very popular
And linda, about that phone strap you mentioned earlier, you can buy one at yesasia:
http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/.../pid-1003962071
I'm thinking about getting the one Hae In had (the round one)...but it's expensive.

if that was the reason it didn't get good rating in korea then that's jux too bad.. i actually thought YEON JUNG HOON did a GREAT JOB!!! SSH is too mature looking to play a as student. i feel bad for YJH.. with the public acting so childish, imagine how he musta felt!... i jux feel bad because it was really a great series.. it's too bad!

Foua Vang -
That's what my friend said...I'm not sure if that's the only reason why it didn't do as well in Korea...I'm sure there are other reasons, maybe some just didn't like the storyline? Because I have come across comments from some Korean fans who simply just didn't like the story and thought it was draggy.
But, I'm sure people weren't specifically blaming Yeon Jun Hoon himself for replacing SSH...I think they were just upset and disappointed simply by the fact that he was replaced, but they don't blame YJH himself...unless they don't like him.
I personally thought YJH did a great job, his acting was really good, and to think he was still only a new actor, he really surprised me actually...I just don't understand why many people thought he couldn't act...but then, he had very big shoes to fill in and there was a lot of pressure on YJH since the very beginning, but I thought he pulled it off really well
I guess people just had very high expectations from him, since he was replacing such a famous actor like SSH...I do think these people are being bias, it's really unfair on YJH...their utter disappointment over SSH's departure from the series might have clouded their better judgments.
And in regards to your comments about how SSH looks too mature to be a student...I sort of think KSW looked too mature for the role of student also...but their roles in the series weren't always students, their characters eventually grew up into responsible mature young men...so SSH's looks really doesn't matter at all.
Anyway, I remember there were some BTS (behind the scenes) images posted up previously of KSW and KHS, I think it was you who posted it up...I'm just wondering where you found those images, they certainly looked very cute together!

Interesting, thanks for sharing that Linda…that article does have a point, it would explain why more and more big name and veteran Korean actors and actresses are beginning to appear in major big-budgeted series instead, they’re trying to break into other Asian markets…though I wonder why these series don’t do well locally…maybe they just aren’t promoted that much domestically since their main targets are overseas markets after all…it’s just too bad this series was one of the unfortunate ones which failed in it’s local market…but, at least it did succeed (and very much so) in it’s ‘targeted’ markets
OT: Thanks for the advice linda, I’ll take that into account
Sounds to me like you’re really fond of Yeon Jun Hoon in that case, it might interest you to know that I read an old article just the other day stating that he was becoming noticed in Japan when this series was aired over there. So there were still many people out there who like YJH and they do appreciate all his hard work...and in case you don't know, he's also married by the way, his wife is popular actress Han Ga In.
As for KHS, her popularity soared in Japan because of this series, that would explain why her first fan meeting there attracted so many fans, and of course with the support of some of her close male friends (including KSW and Jackie Chan who both sent video messages to her), the fan meeting was a success.
Anyway, so it wasn’t you who posted up those BTS images? Sorry, my mistake then! But they certainly looked very cute, they seemed very comfortable around each other

and don't be sorry.. wshed it was me who did post them.. but it wasn't and i couldn't take credit!!
Whats the song playing at the end of the series of Ep 20 ?
downloaded all the OSTS and no go...
IT's a duet
The english subs for the song at the bottom go like this
starts off with harmonica music or somethin
"i'm smiling but they say i'm not
they say I look pathetic and sad
I loved you but couldn't tell you
I coudlnt even show it
I missed you until I feel asleep
If you ever feel it is too much to bear
Until you feel releived from this ...etc...

The song you're referring to sounds to me like "Sal Da Ga" (While you live) by SGWannabe (I think they're a band or some sort), it wasn't on either of the 3 OST versions, hence the reason why it would be difficult to find it through the OSTs, I had quite a lot of trouble finding it myself, but luckily I found it via the band's name, just search for 'Sal Da Ga - SGWannabe', you should be able to find it
well...overall i like this series..although it was so sad...
and the ost was awesome...
but i don't like the ending...i wish kwon sang woo didn't died...
