A timeless classic love story even when watching this in 2022
"The Classic" really is a classic. It doesn't matter if I am watching this in 2022 or in 2003. The love story might be simple and uncomplicated, but I think that's also the beauty of it. I enjoy the two parallel timelines when telling the mother's story and the daughter's story. I would say the focus is in the older generation's romance. It's much more romantic, beautiful and impactful. Who Joo Hee ends up with in the end is not surprising. But watching how the story unfolds from beginning to the end is a beautiful thing.My only criticism of this movie and the reason I am not giving this movie a 9.0 is the modern day romance. It pales in comparison to the older timeline. I would have loved to see Ji Hye and Sang Min's story develop a little better and with more screen time. I don't need to see more of the annoying Soo Kyeong, but I need more interaction between Ji Hye and Sang Min. I think it's a waste of Jo In Sung's talents and his character. Because I am not as invested in this couple, it makes the ending scenes not as impactful as they should be.
It's really interesting to watch this in 2022 and see how innocent-looking and adorable these big stars were. Their talents shone even when they were so young. The acting is great all-around and the OST is beautiful as well.

Esas kızın oyunculuğu çok kötü zaten. Beğenmedim.
Hikaye fena değil. Daha iyi işlenebilirdi.
Genel olarak çok sıkıcı bir filmdi. Hiç izlemesem de olurdu.
Son kısımlara doğru artık bitse de gitsek diye baktım. Kimin kiminle evlendiği, kimin kimin çocuğu olduğunu anlamakta güçlük çektim.

The acting was fine, nothing extraordinary about it. I liked the 70s version Son Ye Jin and Jo Seung Woo's acting better than that of the other actors. Jo In Sung's acting was too robotic though lol.
As for the story...it's good but they focused mainly on the parent's love story. They should have focused on the present-day love story as well. Unlike the past couple, the present-day couple didn't have much chemistry cause they didn't have much reason to fall in love. So their love story wasn't convincing. Plus, with Jo In Sung's robotic acting, some scenes looked kinda cringy.
It's an okay film. It's a shame though, cause it could have been much better if the acting and directing was good.

I'd give it 4 but because of the last 15 minutes and the music I gave it 6.

It was cliche that's for sure. But I'm one of those people who don't mind the cliche (as long as its not TOO predictable). The storyline was confusing for some parts and whoever did the editing for me did a good job. I could tell that they were going back and forth from the past to the present.
The acting:
Every character did a fairly decent job of acting, well maybe not Jo In Sung. The guy is just a brick wall. I mean seriously buddy you need MORE EMOTION, MORE FEEL but he is kind of pleasing towards the eye, so I guess it kind of ok? XD
For me, Son Ye Jin stole the limelight. She bloody well deserves a 10/10 for her acting. Ye Jin ssi had to act as two characters, Joo Hee and Ji Hae and she did a FANTASTIC job of it. When she cried her heart out, I cried along with her. TT____TT
The Music:
As soon as I heard, Canon D Major by Pachelbel. I knew that I wouldn't be hating on the music used through the movie. I mean who the hell on this earth doesn't love that instrumental masterpiece.
Rewatch Value:
It's not a movie that I would watch again in the near future but I may.
Overall:
It is not the best movie I ever seen but it was worth my time watching.
