At first I watched this Drama, because I didn't want to watch the "on air" Dramas. It's not that I don't like the current Dramas, but after a few weeks of learning for an exam I wanted to finish a drama quickly. So I decided to watch "Autumn's Tale". I finished it after one weekend and I am very glad I watched it.
Since DotS I thought no other Drama can touch me more. ... Okay, know I know it better^^.
Story: I LOVE melodramas. So I thought the Story would be interesting. I know this Drama is from 2000. I thought "Oh it's so old, I don't wanna watch it...okay, maybe it is interesting to see how was Korea in 2000". The Story sounds ... can I say simple? Two people who believe they are brother and sister, but than they have to face the truth, that they are not blood related. Then they loose the contact with each other and years later, they meet again.. I was very excited to see the reaction of the two of them.
Acting: The Acting... Hm, yeah. I think when it comes to melodramas Song Hyekyo is the best actress I've ever seen. Since her Acting in WTWB and DotS, she is my favourite Actress. Now I know why...People can say about her what they want (in relation to her tax scandal) but when it comes to acting, I think she is one of the best. SHK acts as Yoon Eunsuh who lives with parents and a brother until she gets to know that she isn't the daughter of the Yoon-Family. SHK was 19 years old when sie did this drama... She did a wonderful job. When she was crying, I cried, too. When sie was laughing, I laughed, too. But honestly It didn't surprised me very much, because I knew before, how a great actress she is. The big surprise was Song Seungheon. I watched "My Princess" before and thought he is a good actor but not more...After "Autumn's Tale" I love him. He was so emotional. He cried so hard and...I didn't want to see it.
In my opinion the best Actors and actresses are those, who make you cry with them...laugh with them...hate with them... . And he did it. He played the big Brother who loves his sister very much. He would do anything for her, so when they are forced to go different ways, it breaks his heart (and mine, too). The emotions he delivered with his acting were brilliant.
But...now I come to the biggest surprise...Many people may not understand, but before I watched AT I haven't watched a drama or movie with Won Bin (except "Botherhood", but when I watched the movie my focus was on other things). I thought Won Bin was one of those Actors like Lee Minho. Please don't misunderstand me, I like Lee Minho but I think he is a little bit overrated. So I thought Won Bin was very attractive (and he is!) and a ... average actor...But he isn't. He is brilliant. He acts as Han Taesuk, the best friend of Joonsu and a playboy. Honestly, at first I didn't liked Taesuk, but in the End, he was the character I pitied the most. His character changes the most and after a few episodes I pities him so much I wanted to drop the drama. Whenever he was on the screen I cried. Won Bin delivered the feelings and emotions of Taesuk so real that I thought he IS Taesuk. Know I now why Korean love him so much.
The other characters and Actors/Actresses were good, but for me not very memorable.
Music: I love the OST. The Song I love the most is Prayer by Jong Il Young. I don't know her, but the song suits the drama the best. So I recommend it to you (If you like Ballads).
Rewatching Value: I will watch it again, definitly.
All in All: I love the Drama. It is the best Drama I have ever seen. So I recommend it to you very much...BUT if you don't like a sad drama or you don't want to cry much, then you shouldn't watch it. This drama isn't a comedy, but a heartbreaking romantic melodrama. I don't know if there is drama, which is similar and newer...so I can't give you a hint...
i know the drama is old, but I am sure there are people like me who don't know if they shpuld watch an old drama, so I think it is never too late for a review^__^.
