Hi Huz12002....

Thanks for your comments. Yes, this is one of the most depressing kinda K-drama. Itulah juga sebabnya ratings drama ni di Korea teruk. Sebabnya jalan ceritanya tulah...."adik & abang ipar". Seems that Koreans tak suka dengan jalan cerita yang begini, sesuatu yang dianggap 'terlarang'. Even kita pun akan terasa sesuatu yang janggal juga....

Anyway, saya akan cuba juga tengok drama ni despite of the storyline. Sebabnya it's in Korean, at least ianya tak dialihbahasakan. Hmm, tengoklah......sampai mana sanggup 'melayan' drama ni. Sekurang-kurangnya ianya tak banyak episod berbanding BILY.

jadi betulla this one is SNOWMAN, bukannya SNOW FLAKES...because if I'm not mistaken, SNOW FLAKES is another series starring Kim Sang Kyung (hero Invitation), Yoon Son Ha & Park Yong Ha...citer ni lama sket drpd SNOWMAN, tahun 2001....

Hi katt!...itu lah, cuma yang best nya drama SNOWMAN tu at least in Korean Version, kalau dalam bahasa cina...lagi lah depressed!!!...welll, you can try and have a look....I am sure you will regret it.....But I must admit that Jo Jae Hyun tu is a good actor, first time tengok dia dalam drama PIANO, I was really impressed by his acting. Rasa simpatii ngan dia dalam drama tu, sebagai seorang bekas gangster dan seorang ayah tiri yang cuba mendekati dan berbaik-baik ngan anak2 tiri dia. Tapi rasa geram dan lucu tengok perangai gila2 dia jadi gangster kat drama HAPPY TOGETHER! Dia ni not bad looking kan...walaupun dia dah berumur....tapi masih nampak handsome....boleh lah!!!:bg:

Hi! Hi!

Betul tu, at least the drama is in the original version. Walaupun most of TV2's K-drama are more laid-back with family-oriented storylines tapi they're interesting to watch sebab tak dubbing. Hmm, so far.....still ok Snowman ni tapi tak tahulah later on.

Heard about Piano juga, another kinda sad & depressing story, too? Rupa-rupanya JJH juga berlakon dalam Happy Together ya. Entah bila nak tengok drama tu, nak sangat tengok LBH especially ^_^.

Just some additional info to share: Jo Jae Hyun was nominated for Best Actor Award untuk wataknya dalam Snowman during the 39th Baeksang Awards last March tapi dia kalah to Lee Byung Hun (All In) :2cool:.

Err, first of all....I need to correct what I said in my earlier posting. Sebenarnya ratings Snowman di Korea was not that bad, initially. It was quite good masa mula-mula ditayangkan tapi bila dah masuk pertengahan cerita, there seemed to be a lot of mixed response to it.

Coming back to TV2, so far masa episod 2 tadi the story masih lagi ok, not bad actually. Kim Rae Won as Cha Sung-jun, watak & imejnya agak nak sama dengan wataknya dalam Wuri's Family before this. And the girl yang berlakon sebagai best friend Yeon-wook tu juga pernah berlakon dalam Beautiful Days (as Kum-suk, rival Sae-na) and Bright Girl. Selalu dapat watak sampingan dia ni, unfortunately.....

Anyway, melihatkan episod tadi.....akhirnya kahwin juga Pil-seung dengan Yeon-jung. Pil-seung yang memang tak ada adik perempuan (adik-beradiknya 5 orang, semuanya lelaki) betul-betul jaga Yeon-wook seolah-olah adiknya sendiri. Sometimes, a bit too eager......Mereka tinggal bersama, which shouldn't be a problem tapi that is where everything started to go wrong. He's taking care of her especially when her sister jarang ada di rumah due to work. Hmm....:re:.

Yes, yang TV2 tayangkan tu adalah SNOWMAN. Rasanya the station had made a mistake with the title. Itulah yang agak tak sangka since this SNOWMAN was just recently released in Korea.

Noon Sa Rahm- Snowman (MBC)

Cast:Jo Jae Hyun, Gong Hyo Jin, Oh Yeon Soo, Kim Rae Won, Myung Gye Nam

Although at first unwillingly, Jo and Gong later become the best of sister/brother-in-law. They depend on each other for help, trouble, and fun. Oh Yuhn Soo, Jo's wife, is grateful at the happy relationship, but things go astray when Gong grows a greater affection for Jo. When Gong confesses her feelings for Jo, the two start to grow apart. Although they later end up in the same police department, they try hard to avoid eachother, and Oh starts to realize the reason why. Kim Rae Won is Gong's friend and the son of a rich hotel owner. Although he knows that Gong likes her brother-in-law, he never gives up his feelings for her. Things seem to turn out alright when Gong starts to date Kim and forget about Jo, but her sister Oh dies. The dangerous yet innocent love for her brother-in-law puts Gong in a terrible situation...how is love different in a family?

Rating: Very Good

Comments: The beginning of the drama, when Gong is a high school student, is very humorous. The drama is well-written, but if you don't like the unconventional idea of a sister-in-law liking her brother-in-law, you shouldn't watch this drama. Kim Rae Won is portrayed really well, and the character fits him perfectly! worth watching

L - R: Oh Yeon Soo, Jo Jae Hyun & Gong Hyo Jin

Hi Katt!
You are right.....is another kinda sad & depressing story.....Jo Jae Hyun can really makes you cry there....sama juga  ngan Snowman, PIANO juga about hubungan terlarang, tapi hubungan antara step sister and brother, tapi bukan lah hubungan step sister and brother yang betul2.....cuma terikat through marriage.  Out of nowhere, a small boy was sent to JJH and was claimed to be his son.  Di pun terkejut sebab selama ni dia tak tahu yang dia ada anak pun...dan bermacam-macam cara dia nak get rid of this boy...tapi this little boy asyek ikut2 dia aje...sampai lah dia jumpa janda kaya yang baru kematian suami dan mempunyai dua orang anak, seorang lelaki dan seorang perempuan....dan dengan anak perempuan ni lah...anak si JJH tu falling in love......but I really respect JJH acting kat sini.....he is really good!....sebab tu lah...bila tengok dia kat SNOWMAN tu...susah nak benci kat dia tu...sebab dah suka kat dia masa drama PIANO tu....;)

Since you a LBH fan, you must see that HAPPY TOGETHER!  Its a very good drama....cerita pasal family dan mengenai LBH as an elder brother trying to unite all brother and sisters through their parent's marriage....and it is not an easy job because not everyone of them like him.  Macam tak percaya bila tengok LBH kat sana.....tak glamor langsungl!....Jauh betul watak dari BD...macam langit dan bumi.....Dah lah pakaian dia selalu selekeh....rasa lucu tengok watak dia gila2 kat drama tu..especially bila dia nak courting si Kim Ha Neul, girlfriend adek dia yang dilakonkan oleh Song Seung Hun (Pelakon Autumn in My Heart).  Betul2 lucu dan kadang2 rasa  menyampah bila tengok perangai yang nakal dan gila2 dia kat drama tu....but it shows that he is really a good and versatile actor....boleh menjiwai berbagai-bagai watak.  Yang best nya....banyak pelakon handalan dalam filem tu besides Lee Byung Hun...saperti Jo Jae Hyun, Song Seung Hun, Kim Ha Neul, Jeon Ji Hyun and Chae Tae Hyun (couple dalam filem MY SASSY GIRL)  Yang lucu juga adalah watak JJH and CTH yang mana mereka ini adalah dua gangster yang menggilai adek perempuan LBH dalam drama ni....

It is a Must-See Drama!!!.  Don't miss it.....I am sure you will enjoy the story!:bg:

Hi to you, too....

Thanks for the synopsis. Itulah yang I've heard about Piano, one of the most talked about Korean dramas. Wahh.....Huz12002 memang dah mengikuti quite a lot of the dramas. Yeah, JJH memang bagus actingnya, saya setuju sebab saya sendiri particularly suka tengok acting regardless of actors. Even in Snowman you can see that he's good. So far, still boleh mengikuti lagi drama ni. Mungkin sebab dah biasa dengan konsep drama keluarga yang 'berat' di TV2 especially.

Well, I'm still trying to understand the situation between Pil-seung dengan Yeon-jung dan Yeon-Wook. Pil-seung sebagai abang ipar memang terlalu ambil berat pasal adik iparnya tu sebab kasih-sayangnya pada Yeon-jung. Sometimes, a little too much I'm afraid. Dia tak mahu isterinya menanggung kesedihan dan kesusahan sendiri, itulah sebabnya dia banyak meluangkan masa dengan Yeon-wook. Dan Yeon-wook walaupun dimarah & ditampar oleh abang iparnya tu, mungkin mula terasa sesuatu. Kan sebelum ni cuma dia dan kakaknya sahaja berdua, tanpa ibubapa dan ahli keluarga yang lain terutamanya saudara lelaki. Sorry ya.....banyak pulak review, can't help it

. Personally saya suka menganalisa watak-watak dalam various dramas.

Memang, memang nak sangat tengok Happy Together tapi due to several factors kena tunggu dan berharap it will be shown on tv, preferably TV2 because it will not be dubbed. Chances are, maybe TV2 akan siarkan drama ni since it's a family drama but I'm not sure, just my wishful thinking. So far, hanya tengok mv dan clips of Happy Together saja. I must agree that LBH's hilarious in the drama, sort of a happy-go-lucky kinda guy. Memang sangatlah berbezanya dengan wataknya dalam BD. But that's what make him so special, truly a good and versatile actor. Kalau tengok LBH dalam filem Harmonium in My Memory, lagi tak sangka yang this is the same actor yang melakonkan watak Min-chul in Beautiful Days. Such contrasting characters! The cast of Happy Together memang bagus, all of them are now top film actors & actresses.

It is a Must-See Drama!!!. Don't miss it.....I am sure you will enjoy the story!

Yes, indeed Happy Together is a must-see K-drama. I know I'll enjoy the story. Kalau tak keluar jugak di tv, kenalah kumpul duit beli vcdnya. Tapi dengarnya there is still no Korean version available. For various reasons, saya tak beli vcd K-drama except for Beautiful Days. Most of the drama yang saya tengok pun are the ones yang ditayangkan di TV2, TV3 dan ntv7 sahaja, kalau tak silap dah 25 semuanya. Huh, banyak juga ya

Hi whitedove...

Thanks for sharing ;). Yes, I heard about it, too....both having similar storylines. Memang suka dengan family-dramas macam Under One Roof tu. Itulah, harap TV2 akan siarkan Happy Together sebab the tv station memang cenderung kepada dramas with family-oriented themes. These family dramas are never dull, full of messages and like you said, full of heart-warming and bittersweet moments!
