Endless Love

Endless Love, or Autumn in My Heart, is the best Asian television series I have ever seen. From the cast to the cinematography, to the direction of the scenes, I can say it is really superb.

This Korean TV series was shown here in the Philippines just this September on a daily basis. I was mesmerized by the story and the plot. The promotions on the TV network which showed Endless Love were so exciting and interesting that I did not miss a single episode of this serial.

The story was different because of the ties that bind the characters in the story. Johnny and Jenny thought they were siblings but after about 10 years of not seeing each other, realized that they are in love. Andrew, Johnny's friend, is in love with Jenny.

I was angry with the scriptwriter because he did not give the chance for Jenny to realize how selfless Andrew's love was for her. If given an option, I would rather see Andrew and Jenny together. Aside from the reason that Won Bin looks better than Song Seung Hon, Song Hye Kyo would be better matched with the former. Andrew's character made me cry every time I saw them together on screen.

MOST LOVED SCENES
1. The scene on the beach when Andrew told Jenny that he would help her with her illness when he knows Jenny has leukemia. Jenny asked Andrew for a reason why she had to come back to him but Andrew did not came up with an answer immediately. He composed himself and gave three very romantic and selfless reasons -- I won't ask you to marry me, I won't give you a hard time, and I won't ask you to love me! If you're the girl, it would simply melt your heart. But this time, I hated Jenny's character as she simply neglected Andrew's feelings. She was so insensitive.

2. Another scene is the part when Andrew gave Jenny five reasons why she had to undergo the treatment/operation. It was just so selfless of him to say the name of Johnny as one of the reasons.

3. The scene when Andrew confessed his feelings to Jenny, that he would do anything for her love.

4. The scene when Andrew told Jenny that he still wanted her to be the mother of his children.

5. Another scene is where Andrew ask Jenny how much her love would cost. That scene really melted my heart.

For the acting, Won Bin definitely stole the show in every scene he was in. If I could only change the script, I would opt to gave him the role of Johnny or perhaps I would end the story with him ending up with Jenny because he was simply selfless with the love he was offering to the girl. And he truly changed from a gigolo to a very romantic person who gave Jenny a necklace and loads of flowers.

I think Song Hye Kyo is the most beautiful Asian actress. She really takes my breath away.

To those who have not watched the series, prepare tons of napkins because of the many crying moments this Korean series could offer.

For the sequel, Winter Sonata, it would have been great if the role of Janice was given to Song Hye Kyo and the role of Jun to Won Bin.
