Synopsis

This film is without any doubt the pinnacle of Korean melodrama. Every period has a different attitude towards love. If love in the 90s is lively and aesthetic, love in the 60s was serene and painful.
For the young generation, this may seem quite boring but for many woman of the older generation, this was the image of themselves by which they shed quite a few tears. The success of this film led to two more sequels but not really achieving the acclaim of its original.
