...And then she got eye cancer from a car accident

[dangermousie]

After 3 eps of A Man Called God failed to interest me, I decided to check that madly famous uber-weepie Stairway to Heaven with Choi Ji Woo and Kwon Sang Woo. StH was a huge part of the Hallyu wave and was a ridiculously famous and successful drama. It is also about two people who surely have the worst luck in the entire universe mainly because their families are total lunatics - heroine's step-family alone makes Cinderella's look nice, she gets cancer from a car accident (no, really!), there is amnesia, eye donations, terminal illnesses, evil parents by the score, childhood love, suicide attempts and (this is what tipped the scale for me), as per lesbiassparrow, a moment with "hero lying half-in, half-out of shower while wailing the heroine's name."

Indeed.

To nobody's surprise it all does not end well.

Have a MV.

I shall enjoy this mightily.

(It is by the writer of Personal Taste which hopefully means yummy but hopefully not terminal angst is coming our way soon in PT).
