tearjerkers

An adaptation of Daniel Keyes classic "Flowers for Algernon". The main guy who portrays Charlie (Yoo Gun), the mentally challenged 27 years old man who becomes a genius because of an experiment, is so cute and innocent you just want to hug him.

15-year-old Ikeuchi Aya (Sawajiri Erika) was an ordinary girl, until lately when she has been falling down often and walks strangely. She is diagnosed with a rare terminal illness called spinocerebellar degeneration, where the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the person cannot walk, speak, write, or eat, but does not affect the mind. How will she and her family cope with this disease?

About a 19 year old girl, Yoo Min (Jung Da Bin), who was abandoned after the death of her mother. She lives alone with her adopted brother, Kang Pyo (Huh Jung Min). She falls in love with Min Jae (Kim Jae Won) and bumps accidentally onto his brother, Seung Jae (Yoon Kye Sang). The plot thickens when we find out that Min Jae’s family is related to Yoo Min’s abandonment.

This is the most well known Korean drama in Asia. Probably because it made Choi Ji Woo the trademark crying girl and Bae Yong Joon as her knight and shining armor.

The typical Korean tragedy, yet you just can’t help get glued at watching Kwon Sang-woo and Choi Ji Woo tear their hearts out and cry with them especially when they are constantly separated by two evil witches (Kim Tae Hee and Lee Hwi Hyang).

Another of Choi Ji Woo’s classic teary face along with Lee Byung Hun’s charisma and Lee Jung Hyun’s whiny personality.
