I am sad that you cannot be lured into the watching of Autumn Tale. I am completely enthralled by its over the top angst and wrong, wrong love. (Though Calixa says that love is never wrong, so who am I to judge?)
The problem with AT and its ilk for me is, as my watching of MISA demonstrates, I inevitably get emotionally lured in and invested and then devastated :)
Gong Yoo's mere presence would make me watch Phonebook - The Musical.
I would watch anyone do that, because it would be too ridiculously entertaining for words. Maybe the reader of phonebook would get amnesia halfway through and angst over to do the book over again.

The way I picture it in my (sick) mind, it'd be a blend of Grease and West Side Story, with a leather-clad guy spewing names in alphabetical order while snapping his fingers.
More importantly, OMFG! THE PIC!!!!! I shall forever worship you for introducing me to the blazing hotness that is battered Gong Yoo. ...Now, I'll go fill my bathtub with ice cubes. Bai.
I remember coming across this pic when I first started Coffee Prince, my first exposure to Gong Yoo, and sort of hyperventilating.
I already have my eager little hands on Hello My Teacher, that forbiddern lurve story where he is some sort of delinquent who falls for his teacher.
I am pleased to see that despite his relative youth, he has already managed to cover three major genres of drama: (1) falling in love with a teacher (2) falling in love with a family member (3) falling in love with a cross-dresser. All we have left is a period epic and we are set.
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 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.

Is it a good or a bad thing?
I have no idea if this is an awesome kdrama or not, but it does sound cracky.
Want a good kdrama that is also fun? Capital Scandal. it's my new favorite kdrama of all time.

Actually, I wanted the (bland) girl to end up with the secondary male character.
The heroine's other (!) adopted brother is a creepster of the worst kind and it makes for some highly disturbing and effective scenes.
Also, thank God Gong Yoo went and got a haircut after this drama.

Btw, I assume you have seen this pic.
And oh Gong Yoo. I have no idea why I never discovered him before Coffee Prince.

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