One Fine Day has to be my crack, over the top Kdrama because it IS over the top at points with the angst but man was it deliciously good. It was really fascinating to see Gong Yoo in such a completely different role than Coffee Prince, which was the first drama I saw him in.
Gun ends up as a 'son' of a big-time gangster (how? No idea yet. It's kdrama, these things happen.
There are so many implausible events in this drama and yet that made it all the more cracktastic. It also helped that Lee Yeon Hee played Hyo Ju, who I found to be more fascinating than Haneul (though I still rooted for the OTP). I'm so glad that you're going to watch it because it's been difficult to find someone else whose watched it (considering it is one of the more angsty dramas).
I haven't seen Autumn Tale (I've stayed away from the four "seasonal" dramas) but if it's OFD with an unhappy ending, I don't think I would want to venture into it (because part of the redeeming factor for me, when it started to get REALLY over the top near the end, was the resolution of a certain conflict).
I hadn't realized that two had happy endings (though I heard Winter Sonata was bittersweet). Because they're such big pillars of the Kdrama world though, I feel that I should watch them at some point.
I can't wait for your reaction to OFD! It'll be fun going over it again. It's like getting to watch the drama again when you get to squee about it with someone.

Re: Seasons dramas. two of them have happy endings (Winter Sonata and Spring Waltz) and two do not. Even enough :)
