Neve em Agosto (2007)

I really wanted to give this drama a rating of 9 or 9.5 but b/c of the confusing ending that kind of made me upset (the writers really need to explain the ending - even now isn't too late to explain it!) I am uncertain if it's supposed to be a good or bad ending, so I only gave it an 8 - I couldn't possibly give it a lower rating b/c the rest of the drama (excluding the last 3 especially 2 episodes) were really well done, I really enjoyed it!

Jo Dong Hyeok's character Dong Woo was the BEST thing about this drama "He melts your heart" as a friend said ^^ He is at first fun loving and would tease your emotions like crazy when you're watching him on screen! He truly nailed this role! He deserves more MAIN leads in dramas! He is seriously one of the most kind, caring and compassionate characters to ever enter drama-land! I loved him SO much - and it was SO adorable to watch him play with the two kids in the drama! In the last 3 episodes he brought out the tears - and it really hurt to watch him go through so much heartache and torment all b/c of one incident that he didn't even know happened! This drama was totally unfair to his character! I wanted to pull him out of the drama at the end and rescue his hurting soul! <3
Chu Sang Mi's character Ban Suk was kind of like a run over rug in the beginning - she wouldn't let go of things that were hurting her - she'd rather suffer all the pain in the world than hurt her child who was going through Psychological treatments for anxiety related stress. So even if I wouldn't have tolerated and lived with the things she did, I did understand her b/c of the child's issues... When her child dies (not a spoiler - it's in the description) she goes through a lot and 4yrs later she meets Dong Woo again - they start off as co-workers/neighbors and he was always helping her and in her business lol - I empathized with her character for most of the drama but the last 3 episodes honestly kind of made me really mad at her - she would throw away happiness and love for her hate? O.o does that make any sense?!! Anyways - her acting was really good! and her character growth was pretty good as well, but it almost seemed like she went back to her old self at the end :/ [I got really mad with one dream she had toward the end - I mean come on - it was a DREAM!!! Dreams are NOT reality!!!] >_< If I could remove that scene I would!
Both child actors were AMAZING!!! and they were both SO CUTE ^_^
I hated her ex and his mistress and her ex's mother - they were the worst people on planet earth and yet they believed they deserved everything! I consider the three of them to be filthy garbage.

Music: I LOVED 3 of the songs! '?? (Fever)' by ?? (Tae 1), '???? (Sunflower)' by ?? (Tae 1) (my favorite^^), '??? ??? (World)' by ?? (Tae 1) These songs had the most impact! [The last song reminds me of Lobbyist's ost ^^]

Despite the confusing and irritating ending I would still re-watch this and yes I would still recommend it - maybe some of you could understand the ending better than me... I'm going to do what most viewers are doing - believing that the ending was actually supposed to be positive.
And I would say - PLEASE avoid all spoiler comments until you have finished the drama yourself! Or you might miss out on some great acting and a pretty good story-line ^^

Don’t do it. Messed up ending.

This was definitely heartbreaking but the writers turned it into something more. The took a characters heartbreak and turned it into selfishness on another level.


Please don’t read below if you don’t want the spoiler. It’s definitely a summary of he tragic events. ?.


A couple (not close at all) loses their soon due to an accident (he left the house at night looking for them). The wife blames the spouse and mistress because she went to find them, therefore she wasn’t at home (like babysitters don’t exist).

In summary; child is hit by a car while outside at night, in the rain looking for his mom, who just so happen to be going to confront her husband who she already knew was cheating, really no shocker., the person that caused it didn’t see him, didn’t realize. The driver and mom falls in love and get married then the case is solved. Stepdad who by the way is amazing, loving, patient and loyal is revealed to had been the driver. Sadly he wasn’t even aware that it happened. But no forgives or mercy granted. She doesn’t forgive him, he goes to jail and she just so happens to keep his son forever. Clearly she never loved the man. I can imagine the kid growing up and finding his dad or asking this woman questions. The lies will create a sequel.

Totally depressing.
