Winter Sonata · review
Winter Sonata revolves around a love triangle between Yujin, Sanghyuk and Joonsang. There are many one sided loves involved and the heartbreaking moments are constant. There was barely any down time for me to recover from all the sad happenings. Throughout the series, the love triangle creates the domino effect: hurting one after or another. The art is nothing to be amazed at, but it's nice enough to enjoy. The animations were a little rough, but overall, it's appealing to the eye. My favorite character would have to be Sanghyuk. In my mind, he suffered the most throughout the whole plot. *Light spoilers* He leads a onesided love with Yujin, trying to replace the shoes of her first love for 10 years...from Yujin's perspective, she dragged Sanghyuk through the mud knowing deep down she never once loved Sanghyuk while he's pouring out everything for her. She lied to him, accepting his marriage proposal. Even after all the confessions from Yujin, he always stood by her. For me at least, he was the bigger man and did all he could for her. Overall, his character hit me the hardest and despite the ending, I still feel he's suffering inside.
So! Watch this if you want a romance story that will keep you on your edge, urging you to find out what's going to happen next!
