All the quasi-cest and angst with no death. One Fine Day: it's Autumn Tale for wimps.
You know how I wanted to watch Autumn Tale but was scared away by the promise of a sad ending?
Well, I am totally happy because I just found a drama which sounds like it has everything about AT I want: angst! forbidden love! stepsiblings who thought they were really related, eventually separated until adulthood! hunky men weeping! childhood love! Terminal illness (not of the OTP though, yay!)
One Fine Day.
But you know one thing it's lacking, that Autumn Tale had? Unhappy Ending. YES. It seems like it has eight tons of angst, but it has A HAPPY ENDING. The OTP does not die, does not separate forever, and best of all is that the male lead is...Gong Yoo!!!!!! *insert fangirl squeal*
Did I mention that the male lead is full of self-loathing because of what he has to do, and that the female lead is the adorable Sung Yuri, who barely reaches Gong Yoo's shoulder!
Plot: Haneul (Sung Yuri) is a child of an unwed mother, who married the father of Seo Gun (Gong Yoo). Thus, they are stepsiblings, and are off-limits in the eyes of the law (is anyone in Kdrama fall not for a relative????) Eventually, when they are still children, all parental figures keel over and they are separated. Haneul is adopted by a wealthy family in the midst of which she still feels alienated. Gun ends up as a 'son' of a big-time gangster (how? No idea yet. It's kdrama, these things happen. This is why I love them). When they are adults their paths cross when Gun has to extort money from Haneul (hold me, someone, before I die of sheer glee!). But of course, they begin to fall in love...
Here is a MV for the drama:
This goes on my short list ASAP!
(It's a good thing I have a lot of dramas to go through in Gong Yoo's back catalogue, seeing that he is in the army now and thus no new dramas of his will feed my addiction for two whole years).
