Will it Snow for Christmas? (2009)

I liked this drama, but I'm not very sure it's for everyone out there. You should have patience while watching the drama. I'm the type that would never drop a drama so I kept up with it. Besides that fact, I think I'm biased.. Yes,I mean have you had a look at Go Soo? let alone the fact that his younger self was Kim Soo Hyun. That was another fact that kept me going on watching the show, to be honest---my guilty pleasure.
This drama had too many uncalled-for side stories that bore the hell out of you! But I kept up with them.. I hated that many characters did a wrong and then they, themselves, felt wronged and blamed others.. I mean, EXCUSE YOU! They skipped through time a lot, and it too many twist that weren't really necessary.
HOWEVER! it was one of those dramas that made your heart flutter, and how I wish there weren't those 'butterfly-moments' because I really wanted to give it a lower rating.
When I finished this drama I thought "I wish I had a man just like Kang Jin.. Caring, loving and selfless" I really liked his character, specially, his relationship with his mother.
In conclusion,Some parts were too good, some parts were too boring. I'm not sure which overlapped which, to be honest.
Again, unless you're a patient person, DON'T COME ANYWHERE NEAR THIS DRAMA!

This drama, I have no idea why I took the liberty of putting it in my list of “To Watch” dramas for the year of 2009-2010. This is one of the most melodramatic drama’s I’ve seen for that year.

It have made me cry a bucket but it was all worth it. Having seen the show made my sense of Kdrama more diverse, since I tend to choose rom-com to genres like this. My heart is just weak like that, but this show made my threshold on tears much stronger… or so I thought until I saw Cinderella’s sister and 49 days. Heh.

This drama would always be dear in my heart because of the story line. It may sound unbelievable or ridiculous or even annoying for some because everything was such a mess. The main character’s past was so jumbled up that the future became dim for them. You would tend to watch and wait and watch some more, thinking, when would it ever stop?

Until one day, things would just fall into their proper places.

The ending wasn’t that satisfying for me but the whole journey of the drama was worth it. Once again, I got my mother crying out of this drama and she had to point her fingers at me "again" for doing so. I so love my mom when she does that but still continue on watching anyway.

Acting wise was superb, so maybe that’s what got me hooked after seeing the first episode.

I do not usually watch melodramas. This drama, however, is an exception. For some unknown reason, it has become one of my favourite re-watch drama (especially during long winter nights with a glass of red, a warm blanket and a working heater/fireplace). If I do not watch re-runs of the black and white movies from the bygone era on those nights, this drama is a prime candidate for entertainment then (short of reading Wuthering Heights for the umpteenth time, that is!). Perhaps, I imagine Goo Soo's character here as my very own Mr. Darcy?

Story: This is a story that follows a pair of lovers since childhood, their personal struggles and the dilemma of those around them. True to the spirit of melodrama, you should expect bucket loads of tears for this one. Should I even bother to elaborate? Nope. Watch it and find out yourself. It can be rather draggy in the middle (and normally this is the part where I doze off on the coach!) but it picks up in the last 2 episodes towards an acceptable ending. Suffice to say, there is nothing exceptional about the storyline. If I must put my money into it, I'll bet on the cast.

Acting/Cast: This is one good example of how you do not need to have superstars to make a good drama. The stars just aligned for this one where the cast is concerned. Great acting from everyone. Great chemisty between the leads, and if I am honest with myself, I'll admit that it is the good acting that make me want to re-watch this drama again and again.

Music: Mediocre to say the least. Good sleep therapy material.

Rewatch value: A keeper for those long, cold winter nights.

Overall: Watch it if you have the patience and stamina for a good melodrama. Otherwise, skip it and go for comedy.

This is a classic "slow burn" love story. The writer (Sorry I Love You, A Love to Kill, Thank You) is a Shakespeare disciple and destiny/fate is a common theme. The love, longing, and pain are all very intense. You have to like this kind of drama. I'm a fan.
The storyline is not unique. What some do not like is the ending. However, you know the ending long before you get there. There are several referrals to what their fate will be. So, the ending is not surprising or ambiguous. Yes, I think many of the sweet romantic scenes are at the beginning of Episode 11 before all the pain. But I think the story beginning and ending are all memorable, as is the music.
What make this drama so wonderful is the gorgeous couple. Their acting makes you believe in their unforgettable love. Yes, I've already rewatched it.

Honestly, the first 6-7 episodes are absolutely great. The teen actors are amazing and the story is breathtaking. if you get to episode 11 you can then jump directly to episode 16 without losing anything of any importance in between (except the scene at the library that is quite cute). Same in between ep 7 to 11. Most of the characters has some form or another of psicosis and instead of getting a treatment, they make living hell to all the others.

I got sometimes the distinct impression that the writer had a big problem with women and was trying to expel his hate for women writing down this awful scenes.



I would say the beginning it's a MUST watch, and keep note of the actor that where interpreting the teenagers, cause they're gonna do good things.

I think the writers got a little too overboard with the story line towards the ending of the show. Everything was just hectic, so many skipping time frames, and problems alllll over the place. You would seriously have a "WTF JUST HAPPENED" moment with a blank face watching the last 5-6 episodes. The writers should have ended it after the 11th episode, then it wouldve been perfect. The actors/actress' saved the whole drama from it being a complete downer.THIS WAS THE MOST OBVIOUS PROBLEM IN THE WHOLE DRAMA! SO THIS IS THE ONLY THING IM WRITING ABOUT!



The rewatch value...Id ONLY watch it again only up to the 11th episode (or was it 10) where it shouldve ended. lol

CANNOT BE FROM THE START ( 처음부터 안됀거야 )

Let's talk about what I admired about this drama, It is the vibe that this drama , it feels nostalgic which is one of the reasons why I watched this , I am so in love with the music and the vibe of each scenario's that this drama has , I feel like I am watching the kdramas that I have known from the time when I was starting to love Korean Drama's it was like this ! not too modern , no too much effects , I just like the feeling, and the the next is that I watched this because I like Go Soo , and I am amazed to see his younger face ! and as I watch this drama I fell in love with the female lead also , I like her character and I like her face, Everyone acted great in this drama , from Ms. Cha to the Chaebol Woman of BumSeo is it ? every character was so great ! and Tae Joon he was so charming too !
The Story was I must say it is too much to be real , In some ways the director or the writer of this drama was good in twisting situations , coz how come that they came up with this kind of plot ? it keeps go round and round and round. The Love Story of Ji Hwan and Kang Joon was a sad story and a love story that cannot be from the start, if we would really understand it, the problem started with their parents and they were getting affected by it , and the additional problem was they blame themselves for every bad situation, they made their lives hard for themselves , The Chaebol woman was right , Kang Joon have a brains of a bird to live like that, how come that he thought he makes things difficult for JI Hwan , and also JI Hwan have the same brains with him, it was right that the necklace was the reason of the death of her brother but it was not her fault that her brother died ! and how come that Her mother disowns her after knowing it ! where she also was her child , what kind of mother was that ?
and Also Ji Hwans Father was such an evil jerk ! if I was living with them that time I would've said it is right for him to have a disease and die, coz he keeps on confusing the Ms, Cha when he already have a family, and it seems like he knows the past of the mothers of Kang JIn and Ji Hwan !, my head is aching watching them like this ! AND For the last time , I was really shocked and angry about when Ji Hwans mother became was the crazy ? thinking that Kang Jin was her dead Son? is there even a disease like that ? it was horrible ! and the fool Kang Jin even go through with it acting like he was the son ! and not touching JI Hwan ! everyone here was crazy like the mother of JI Hwan . If I were Ji Hwan I would rather choose Tae Joon, he looks more decent and he is not related to anything about the family back ground so even if they marry no one will be affected and they can live their own lives .. Love really makes one fool'er and a fool. We do not have any idea what really happened in the past of the main lead's parents here , it just happened that they were affected by it , I suppose they should have shown even a bit of it , maybe the plot twist was that to make the drama longer for 16 episode because nothing was really happening anymore during episodes 12 on wards but people are getting crazy .. I love the woman with Madam Cha .. She literally represents me watching them going crazy about their love life and lives. The ending was not satisfying, we do not really know whether the two leads finally ended up together , but the character development in someways was satisfying specially the chaebol woman and Tae Joon and the mother of JI Hwan .. but the leads are still crazy fool . All in all it was still a good watch for me , I became more patient watching this show , I am proud of myself that I am able to finish this absurd love story HAHAH .. I will miss Ji Hwan and Kang Jin in some ways .. well did it really snowed in Christmas ? was there even a Christmas at the whole drama ? but it did really snowed ! .. too bad The leads here could've just ran away and have each other .. that's all I can say
