… sigh! I’ve been missing those Korean\/Japanese\/Cantonese drama series back home. It all started with much convincing from my friends back in 2003 \ud83d\ude42 Many of you would know what I am talking about. I just couldn’t resist writing a post on it. I recalled Winter Sonata<\/em><\/a> during a phone conversation with my friend (Ms Suze<\/em>) recently. The more we chatted about it, memories of this celluloid love story rush through my being. I could hear faint voices in my head, begging for attention, “Kiran..Kiran.. are you there? Hello? Ooiii!” <\/em><\/p>\n

{I snapped back to reality!!!}<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

… ahem.. oh god! I redialed Suze’s number, but the connection went busy. I would try again later. Now as I am writing this post, I realized, the later was 3 hours ago! OMG! Suze, please have mercy on me!<\/em><\/p>\n

Anyways…<\/p>\n

W<\/span>inter Sonata, a Korean directional, is a great love story, coupled with interesting twists and memorable acting from \"Winter<\/a>the main casts. Some of you might find it surprising, but this movie has a similarity to Bollywood serials. Don’t worry, not the length and endless die-alive-die again scenes, but just 20 episodes of great love story. Though I find it a little draggy in the first few episodes, it gained momentum thereafter and I was hooked! I couldn’t wait to complete the entire episodes. Just was way too curious to know how the plot ended. It was like re-enacting writings of Danielle Steele. This is by far one of the shortest tv show review I’ve ever came across. I won’t write much, instead get yourself hooked to Winter Sonata and tell me, did you cry? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"star-tulsi\"<\/a>I would fall off my chair due to a burst of excitement if I don’t reveal this quicker – Winter Sonata does offer some beautiful medley’s! \ud83d\ude42 or should I say, Original Sound Track. Yes, believe it or not! Bollywood serials had a rival after all to compete against \ud83d\ude09 You might find this fact a little dubious, but I was only

...Ekta Kapoor, why do you have to include those horrendously loud background music in all of your serials? Can any one please explain this phenomena?<\/div> introduced to Kyunki Saas and the rest of Indian serials by my mother in law in 2007! \ud83d\ude42 It was not televised in Malaysia till I married. But it’s never to late to catch-on with these great Indian serials. Though I prefer watching the 1st few years of productions. These days, the plots are running thin and the background score can be very irritating. I loved watching Kyunki Saas first year episodes. I’ve given up since, coupled with my Korean serials. Thanks to YouTube, I might find time to re-indulge in my old habits. Wait till mom finds out, she would freak out! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
