Rating:
So Ji Sup as Cha Mu-hyeok - This was one of the best roles in the serial. I felt everything that he was going through. I can see everything with his facial expressions. So Ji Sup portrayed this character very well. He looked super handsome in this serial. When he was rugged, he had a sexy, hot look. When he was clean cut, he gave his innocent handsome look. I would give 5/5 for his acting.

Lim Su Jeong as Song Eun Chae - She is a very pretty girl. In this serial, she portrayed her character very well. She started out with this innocent and naïve girl to a girl that is smart and is very much in love. I felt that she and So Ji Sup had a lot of chemistry. She had a lot of chemistry with Chung Kyeong too. Her acting was very real. She deserves 5/5.

Chung Kyeong-ho as Choi Yoon - I think he has a great voice. His role as a spoilt pop singer was not the main role, but he made me feel the pain and happiness. He and Lim Su Jeong were very cute together. He gets ****.

Suh Ji-young as Kang Min-joo - I wanted to kill her at times for hurting Yoon. Since I felt that way, she must have played the part to the fullest extent. I think she is a very pretty girl. She has a future in acting. I love her expressions through her eyes. She gets 4/5.

Favorites:
1) Yoon singing to Eun Chae at the Hotel.
2) Yoon hugging Eun Chae at the kitchen.
3) Yoon making her eat delicious food and showing how happy he was when she did it.
4) Eun Chae and Mu-hyeok making Kim Bab
5) Mu-hyeok carrying Eun Chae on his back. ( all of those scenes)
6) Under the tunnel, Eun Chae hugged Mu-hyeok when he was asleep. She fell asleep too.
7) Min-chae and Pak-Chae and the mom.
8) The last moments of Eun Chae and Mu-hyeok spending time at the beach.
9) Eun Chae asked Mu-hyeok if he was gay because he wouldn’t get into bed with her.
10) All the crying scenes.

Recommendation:
I would recommend this series to everyone. It is one of the best Korean series. It is so touching with a great ending that is not corny. It is a tearjerker, though. So have a lot of tissues. It is a MUST WATCH!
