1. If you place your impression to Nine: Nine Times Time Travel 나인: 아홉 번의 시간여행 as another time travel drama , THINK AGAIN. The tandem of Song Jae Jung and Kim Byung Soo proves Nine storytelling can be isolated from QIHM. 

    I love QIHM ,from the actors to story, editing to its OST. However, Nine alone would make you literally menboong in the story alone. It will challenge you about the discussions about religion, aside from the WHAT’S NEXT mantra after every scene/episode .

  5.  그 겨울, 바람이 분다 Episode 7

    I love how this show layered one agony to another, as shown how Oh Soo handles the truth about him living since his childhood. He suppressed his anguish for years towards his mother who abandoned him, and to his first love he abandoned. Crying, for men is difficult. Oh Soo don’t have the luxury to grieve. And this one among those moments that tho he want to, he can’t.

    Am not familiar with director  김규태 / Kim Kyu Tae  other’s work, but so far am having feast with his subtle yet symbolic shot, specially the last one which speaks literally how Oh Soo is locked with his own built prison.

  8. 그 겨울 바람이 분다 Episode 5

    Am still at episode five, and so far this is my fave *but not discounting the others as less good, because each episode have its weight of importance, contributing how my heart went to the fifth episode as the heart tugging one. Am expecting, that the succeeding episodes will over ride the beauty of five.
    For starters, I learned to take my time watching this drama.It deserves much attention, something that is not rushed as my twitpal say it, in order to appreciate the beauty of this story. The actors/actress are serving us well *specially on JIS, sexy-rabbit-teeth, plus the suspenders,and oh goodness im floored everytime he does the chuckle! *, but the screenplay is awesome, and how the director played his part of interpreting how it should be executed with out overdoing the drama.

    HOW I LOVE THIS SCENE. I swear, I felt so tensed as Oh Soo. but then again , the less BGM, the subtleness of this scene scores perfectly on how each ot their worlds are too difficult to endure. This was only their moment, where everything around them looks free. *thanks for the crisp white beddings, it added more effect*. Oh Soo may have been challenged as a man, in contrast with Youngie’s oppa perception , however this served submission that both can be together, without the hassles.
    Thru their conversations and character description , Oh Soo and Youngie will have an arduous path ahead before we can presume they will end up happily together. The director had shown us awesome panning shots of them together but with graphical representations of hindrances between them. Like these:
    image
    image
    their first meeting, a stagnant water, with fence-like branches and bars.
    image
    they could have been sitting next to each other, but coffee cup between them~
    image
    contained in one space, plus bars and again, the branches.
    image
    stagnant water~
     
    image
    image
    squares and cornered objects specifying how them being together is restricted with their past.
    image
    then suddenly at the end of episode 5, we see this.
    image
    imageimageimage
    Oh Soo’s unfortunate younger life brought him to grow “like a trash with swarming maggots” or, represented by the gray, ugly branches as shown in the painting. Yet he met Youngie, a visually impaired woman who obviously needs warm and light to her also so-called life and who ironically makes continuity to give him hope and reason to live. She represents the golden swirl as money, and solution to his dilemma , at her own expense (that is, her life at stake). 
    I can’t wait to marathon episode 6-7 , but like a sumptuous meal, i want to savor every minute of my viewing time.  ;))

    We once fought together for an ideal with our swords. It wasn’t for power or for glory, but to create a peaceful world where people could live without fear. And, if you should forget about that, then what did we fight the revolution for?
