YesAsia Editorial Description

There are certain patterns and conventions to Korean dramas that even casual fans of the form can easily recognize, but once in a while a drama comes along that doesn't quite fit into the picture. MBC's 2004 drama Ireland may have found only moderate viewership ratings during its broadcast, but it attracted a very dedicated following and great acclaim for its quirky characters, frank depiction, and memorable dialogue. Clearly a bit different from the rest, this creative character-driven drama about four lonely souls neatly avoids all melodramatic expectations by focusing on people, conversations, musings, moments, images. Another great draw of the drama is of course the talented all-star cast consisting of Lee Na Young (Ruler of Your Own World), Hyun Bin (My Lovely Sam-Soon), Kim Min Joon (Damo), and Kim Min Jung (Fashion 70s).

Raised in Ireland by an adopted family, Lee Jung Ah (Lee Na Young) returns to her native South Korea after the death of her family members. The emotionally unstable Jung Ah blames herself for her family's deaths, and has been thinking about suicide. Is she going to Korea to find her real family, or to drown herself in the Han River? She's not quite sure herself. In Korea, she meets Kang Guk (Hyun Bin), a lonely, kind-hearted bodyguard whose strong sense of righteousness only brings him trouble; Jae Bok (Kim Min Joon), an apathetic, unemployed drifter with an unusually clear mind; and Han Shi Yeon (Kim Min Jung), a tough-talking actress who does soft porn to support her family. When these four people cross paths, what results is tears, laughter, romance, and a little something called life.

Unappreciated High-brow Drama Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
If you are looking for a conventional romantic drama, look elsewhere. These characters are the most complex and real of any K-drama I've seen. They are flawed, at times annoying and use f-words. I wasn't bored for a second, eventhough, there were times I felt it was a little too long.

complete rubbish Customer Review Rated Bad 1 - 1 out of 10
This is the second worst Korean drama I've seen, a lot to do with the weird Lee Na Young. She is annoying and totally mad. Kim Min Joon started off strange and mad too, but turned out to be the most sensible one. I bought this drama to see Hyun Bin. Good looking as he is, he is not so good in acting. The hairdresser responsible for this drama should be sacked. The last epistle is a complete waste of time. I would be very reluctant to see another thing with Lee Na Young in after this. The best one here though is Kim's stepfather who is such a sweet old man that I shed tears when he died. The love he had for his wife and stepson (in his own way) is very touching. However, I suggest you give this drama a miss.

Good Series Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
I must admit that this series is one of a kind. I have not watch a series as disappointing as this one. Maybe because i am a go for good stories and less entanglements.

If you are like me, dont watch this series. Butm kudos for the actors especially the lead actress, very convincing falling in love with a guy whi she thinks is her brother and her despite being married to Hyun Bin. I almost hated her. But otherwise, if you are for happy ending, suggest you skip this series.

Exceptional spin on the conventional Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
It is rare to see a drama that has original characters with full faults intact instead of the conventional pretty boy meet girl and will they or won't they formula in most kdrama series.

These are damaged humane characters who each have to over come their own demons, strive to move towards love and life, on a journey that is complex and intricate and fascinating. The scripted dialogue are some of the best and original, sympathetic but construed screen writing i have seen for, original and highly recommended. The only downside are the earlier Irish scenes, bad actors and silly cliches about the irish does let it down a bit.

It is nice to see Kim Min Joon cast against type from his heroic character in DAMO as. Oh yes, he is still cute as hell. :P
