it’s very bittersweet to read that Robin. This drama has a special place in my heart as well..maybe for slightly different reasons..I think it was only my third drama so I was relatively brand new to the asian drama world..but this was a drama where I discovered so many things..of course this romantic (albeit unintentional) hero who just stole your heart by simple gestures…a heroine who had many human moments..a plotline that included basic things..I always remember how many small scenes took place outside washrooms..lol..I discovered the very young Jang Geun Suk who I just knew in my heart of hearts I was going to see again and looked forward to seeing a grown up version..I discovered a rival character (and actor) who just spoke to me so much that at times I wavered as to who I was really backing..I discovered a drama which considered the struggles of everyday life but didn’t let it be the one and only thing that shone…it’s a drama that will never really age and I’m so happy to know that..though I don’t know if I can ever see it again without a heavy heart.

  This one was relatively early in my love affair with the shorter dramas (unlike the daily ones that were an occasional dinner-making companion), and it definitely made such a strong impact on my perceptions of the Korean romance genre. It introduced me to Ha Jung-woo as well, and look at the career he’s had since!
  
  I think that I loved it best because the female lead was so worthy of love, not because she was some frail Cinderella, but because she was honest, intelligent, and open-minded. He was such a heroic figure too, and the differences in their social status was made insignificant because of his equal strength of character. Noble, but without the cliches.

I loved them for many of the reasons posted, but mainly because she was funny, loyal and fearless in her pursuit of him. I loved him because he was gruff, but kind, macho, but vulnerable, and when in love, every feeling he experienced, translated to me completely! Never before had a hero in a drama, touched me the way he did! I laugh every time I think about him being so formal with Jae Hee’s father, and stating that Jae Hee will always be the president of his country! Lol

I mostly watched other movies that he’s been in, and a couple of other dramas, but he will always be Sgt Choi to me. I will miss him! 😪😪😪😪

  Yes, he’s always Sgt. Choi to me too, no matter that I’ve seen his films and other dramas. It’s such a lovely role for him and I can’t imagine anyone else who could have done it better. I hope they never ever remake the drama!
