While Winter Sonata was one of my favorites and the reason I fell in love with Asian drama, I found no similarities with this one. The story revolves around a psychotic husband, an overly understanding suitor, and a terminally ill mother. The connection between these three people was not believable and did not feel romantic in the least. Why would a cheating husband suddenly become obsessed with keeping his wife? Why would an eligible, handsome man become so attached to a dying married woman? And why would a dying, supposedly attentive mother, not wish to spend her last days with her daughter and leave her with that insane husband? The story was too contrived and irrational to be enjoyable. Of course, this is not a rewatch. The only thing which gets a reasonable score is the music!
