Another installment of the "Endless Love" series is Winter Sonata.
The story begins when Joon-sang (Bae Yong-Joon), the son of an eminent musician, moves to Chuncheon, a rural city in South Korea. As an extraordinarily talented student, Joon-sang is welcomed by his fellow students as well as his teachers, but remains a quiet, introverted teenager. As a result of the belief that his biological father is dead, and serious disagreements with his mother, Joon-sang believes that no one truly loves him.
On his way to school one day, Joon-sang's classmate Yoo-jin (Choi Ji-woo), while sitting next to him on the bus, falls asleep on his shoulder. After a few weeks, the two forge a close friendship. One day, Joon-sang convinces Yoo-jin to escape school together. On the way, Joon-sang soon falls in love with Yoo-jin, who opens her innocent heart to him. One fateful day, when Joon-sang pays a visit to Yoo-jin's house, he comes across a photo in their photo album. Their love, however, is cut short after Joon-sang is badly injured in a car accident and, due to brain damage, sustains amnesia, unable to remember anything prior to his accident.

Among the installment, this made me hooked. When I say "hooked", it means I googled everything... from the cast, soundtrack and the filming location. This drama made me dream to go to South Korea. Not to mention that my first oppa crush was Bae Yong-joon! I was also mesmerized how Choi Ji-woo delivered her acting so well! I even bought the "pirated" DVD just to re-watch this drama. As far as I know, this was one of the highest ratings Korean dramas in GMA. This drama was also aired in other parts of Asia. And by the way, Faith Cuneta sang the OST of this drama entitled "Di Ko Na Kaya". Same melody but the lyrics are in Tagalog version.
If you haven't watched it, try to watch this in any free online streaming platforms. You'll understand why I got hooked!
