A Farewell to Sorrow (DVD) (Vol.1 Of 2) (To Be Continued) (KBS TV Drama) (Taiwan Version) DVD Region 3

Weekend dramas hold a special spot in Korean television. Called "home dramas" in Korea, they tend to attract the best casts, acclaimed writers, and high ratings. Featuring ensemble casts of longtime veterans and promising newcomers, weekend dramas often weave magic with their primetime slot. KBS weekend family drama Goodbye Sadness, a.k.a. Farewell to Sorrow, which finished its broadcast run exactly on January 1, 2006, continues the hallowed tradition of hit weekend dramas. The stellar cast includes talented veterans Oh Su Yeon, Gyeon Mi Ri (Ju Mong), Kang Nam Gil (Palace), and Yoon Yeo Jung (Ruler of Your Own World); established young stars Park Sun Young (The 101st Proposal) and Lee Jong Won (Trap of Youth); and small screen newcomers Shin Dong Wook (Soulmate) and Shinhwa's Kim Dong Wan.

The Han family brothers have been feuding for years, but they must now come together to save the family business. Head of the family, the middle-aged eldest brother Sung Jae (Kang Nam Gil) is kind-hearted, but not very capable when it comes to business management. In his forties, the successful and self-centered second brother Sung Kyu (Kim Il Woo) wants to escape his family duties. In his thirties, third brother Sung Min (Lee Jong Won) got restructured out of a job, but tries hard to maintain his pride. Along with the cheerful and determined Jung Woo (Kim Dong Wan), an unemployed recent graduate, the four men of the Han family represent the hardships that face four generations of Korean men. From career obstacles to relationship challenges to family pains, A Farewell to Sorrow presents a realistic, lighthearted portrayal of modern life.

This release is divided into two volumes with 10 DVDs each.

本片講述了失和已久的四兄弟﹐為了重振父親留下的家業﹐走到一起﹐逐漸互相理解﹐重歸於好的故事。

本片描述了兄弟之間的血肉親情和家人之間的愛與包容。該家庭的四兄弟處於不同的年齡段﹐可以說是當今韓國社會的各年齡層的典型代表。老大韓成材背負著長子的重任﹐雖善良卻無能；老二成奎頗有能力﹐但是只顧自己﹐不願意為家庭盡責﹐老三成民因結構調整被裁員﹐老四正宇大學畢業待業在家。

從四兄弟的處境﹐我們可以看到各年齡層的就業､工作危機﹐以及給婚姻關系帶來的沖擊。主人公們為了避免分道揚鑣﹐為維護家庭的完整作出了努力。本片提出了一個令人深思的問題﹕結婚､家庭到底意味著什麼。

This is a story about the unconditional and all-forgiving love of four brothers who after years of fighting and hatred pull together and reconcile to revive their father’s business. The four brothers, each representing different generations, symbolize ordinary people living in today’s world: Han Sung-jae, the soft-hearted but incapable oldest brother in his 50s, who shoulders the heavy burden of being the head of the family; Han Sang-kyu, the accomplished but selfish second brother in his 40s, who only thinks of getting rid of his family responsibilities; Han Sung-min, the third brother in his 30s who lost his job due to corporate restructuring; and, finally, Han Jung-woo, the youngest one who has just graduated from college and is yet unemployed.

The lives of these four siblings represent the hardships of the unemployed of various generations. This series also asks the question about the genuine meaning of marriage by showing how married couples of various age groups work on their relationships to avert divorce.
