I don`t know what to say.I came into this drama knowing what to expect,but couldn`t imagine how hard it would hit me to the stomach."Stairway to Heaven" is a classic of its own,that takes over the list of star-crossing love-story over all other love-stories that have been aired in Korea and throughout Asia.Every 20 episodes is worth it...you live into their world of splendid happiness,pain,heartbreak,grief,hate,jealousy and bitter-sweet love that easily destroys the individs "Stairway to Heaven" is surronded by.The cast is simply amazing,and in my mind Choi Ji-Wo and Kwon Sang-Woo and Shin Hyun Joon are the true stars in the drama,all of their performances are heartfelt and expressive.All of them shined together on-screen,and delivered amazingly.By the way,i found the main-characters Jung-suh and Song-joo very beautiful together,wheww what a mind-blowing chemistry they have!!!

Jung-suh (played by Choi Ji Wo) is an admirable heroine with her heart on her sleeve.Every man easily could fall in love with her,as her beauty is inside and out.Her strength and bravery and care-free nature is what lures Song-joo into her net,he is her beloved child-hood friend..and her lover and soulmate.Even falling into the clutches of amnesia,her heart still belonged to Song-joo.

"From the moment i saw you,i thought you were Jung-Suh and that thought hasn`t changed at all...I look like a crazy fool,huh?I think i am gonna go crazy,I don`t think i can live anymore!What should i do?What do i have to do?Do something to me!" - Song Joo

Song-joo (played by Kwon Sang Woo) is a hero to die for and i love him so so so much.The actor playing him is so deliciously handsome,and showed the eternal love and longing Song-joo have towards Jung-suh so well that i cried for him.He can`t live without her,and we all root for him to find his beloved Jung-suh again,after she was so cruelly taken away from him.

"I...I`ll wait here.If you still haven`t sorted out your feelings after going in...then when you come out,don`t look at me and just go.If you...If you have some doubts and come back to me...I won`t let you go until i die.Even if you hate me...I still won`t let you go". -Tae Hwa

Tae-hwa (played by Shin Hyun Joon) is the step-brother of Jung-suh and is one of the best supporting characters i have ever stood upon.His soul is so haunted and lonely..and lives and breathes only for Jung-suh.Its so heartbreaking watching a second male lead love the heroine this much...and i kinda hated the pain he went through with his unrequited love for her.I believe that Jung-suh loved Tae-hwa more than she love herself,but not in any romantic way.

The younger actors of that time Park Shin-hye,Baek Sung Hyun and Lee Wan played the younger versions of these characters very well,and i have to say that Shin-hye and Lee Wan indeed has got the better chemistry in their characters,which surprised me.I understood why they got their own drama later on in "Tree of Heaven" two years later with the same director.I also recommend that drama,which is a heart-shattering tale as well.I also have to mention that the OST´s of "Stairway to Heaven" are extremely beautiful and catchy,my favourites are "That`s the only One" and the song about Tae-hwa`s unrequited love for Jung-suh "Heaven`s Memory".
