Summary:

A guy named sangdoo (bi)by accidently gets a baby with a lady named sera while drunk. When sangdoo wakes up he only sees the girl in the bed with him and gets freaked out. Sera gets a baby named Bori who sangdootakes care of since sera left her. Sangdoo does amazing things to pay the bills for Bori sicknes. He is a Jaebi with his uncle. A Jaebi is a young guy who looks good in front of old ladies who are rich. And make money off of them. Sera does not know about this
Sera comes back when Bori is sick and decides to take care of Bori but sangdoo doesnt care about Sera and tells her to get out of his sight all the time. . This is becuase Sera isnt the person who he loves he loves a seperate person who he knew from when he was young, This person sangdoo loves name is Eunhwan , who is a teacher. Sangdoo looks for her and finds her after 10 years , when Bori is still sick (in the hospital). But by this time Eunhwan has a boyfriend (which she is suppose to marry) (This is when they are around 25 years old)
The doctors name was Minhyuk( i tink) . He was also the doctor of sangdoos baby , Bori. Bori loves the doctor too, even tho she only aout 4 years old. Now eun hwan and sangdoo find eachother but eunhwan says that it is too late.. Too late to get together because she alreayd has boyfriend who is to be married soon with her. Inside Eunhwans heart she still really loves sangdoo though. Later on Eunhwan expresses her feeling to sangdoo because she couldnt take it anymore. She had to tell him she loved him. Eun hwan didnt know that sangdoo was a jaebi tho. But when she finds out she does not care she just feels really bad about how he does these stuff,
After weeks .. the doctor finds out and looks at his notes from the sickness of Bori.. IT says that her blood type is not the same as sangdoos. And it was impossible to have that kind of blood type if Sera got a baby with him. Doctor realizes that bori is NOT the daughter of sangdoos. Sera put a trick on him for 10 whole years so she can be with him. This is wen the doctor gives up Eunhwan and sees wat REAL love is. (thats because he did amazing things with his life for Boris sickness)
After bori gets better and is all cured.
The main plot is relaly that a jae bi finally finds his first true love going thru many hard problems thruout the years. But at the end SANGDOO AND EUNHWAn both die. (this is the saddest part.. i cried) When bi comes out of jail (he went to jail becuase of the jae bi thing) he sees Eunhwan with the doctor and Bori( this is wen sangdoo and eunhwan and the doctor are all ok with eveyrthing. The doctor gave up eunhwan because he know sangdoo loves eunhwan for a long time . Also that sangdoo knows how to actually love someone deep inside.) But sangdoo is too ashamed to see Eunhwan and turns his bak. This is when Eunhwan runs across the street calling his name whena car comes all of a sudden. Bi hears that turns around , andstarts running so fast and grabbs her and they both fall down getting hitt by the car. This is where there life ends. (the sad part was that they were hugging eachother when they were on the ground...and died)
At the way end.. it says "eunhwan and sangdoo are awya from there home.. from a far far far place." which is the heaven.

What I Think:

I love this series! I really love ¡°Full House¡± and all (it will always be on my top 1), but believe me I loved Rain more here in Sangdoo than in Full House! No wonder this series is such a hit! Rain is a really good actor because this series is his first venture into acting; the man is really a double-edged sword. When he is happy, he laughs a lot; he can cry too when he is sad or hurt and flares up when he¡¯s angry.

Another amazing thing in Sangdoo is the wonderful relationship of Sangdoo and his daughter, Bori. He also looks absolutely adorable singing the children¡¯s songs with his kid! Both Rain and the kid actor just click lot! And the kid is just too adorable! She looks so cute when she tells Min-suk (Lee Dong Gun) that she likes him, the kid is crushing on Ajushi!J

Gong Hyo Jin, I found out is a good dramatic actress too. I know I am biased coz I already liked her when she made me laugh a lot in ¡°My Funky Family¡± (a comedy sitcom in Arirangtv) with another Korean wave actor, Goo Soo. But this girl is just so reed thin sometimes that she doesn¡¯t register well on-screen, but her good fashion sense makes up for her reed thin frame, oh her nose too, I don¡¯t get her nose, it makes me feel funny.

Lee Dong Gun, ahhhh Ajushi!!! I love Ajushi!! I have already seen this guy in person and he is REALLY tall, but when I saw him standing beside Rain in Sangdoo, the singer looks taller than him! Whew! I like his character because his love for Eun-hwan is unfaltering. At the start of the series, I have to admit I really wanted no, it was just right that Eun-hwan must end up with Min-suk. Min-suk is a doctor, he is good-looking, successful, rich, faithful and supportive¡¦ no who wouldn¡¯t want him?!  Plus he adores children!

Then we have Bori!! Oh my goodness this kid is the cutest! She cries easily and she sings all the rhymes and songs with Rain! She has really cute curly hair that falls from her face. This kid is a really wonderful actress; I bet she will be the next Moon Geun Young!

The scenery here in Sangdoo is just so beautiful!! Just like in the movie ¡°Il mare¡± the views of the rolling hills and mountains was already a win!

 

 

Things to watch out for:

^^ The intro where Rain comes walking down the restaurant in a neatly pressed suit, glasses and all! Jeez man he looks so cute here! I was texting my Atche Cher and telling her ¡°Oh my god I think I like Rain here so much, like him here more than in Full House!!!¡±

^^ Sangdoo telling Eun-hwan ¡°You fell because of me, you¡¯re my responsibility now, now I have to marry you whether I like it or not.¡±

^^ The principal telling Sangdoo ¡°Why you are more popular with the students than GOD!¡± I swear I did a double take here just because they mentioned GOD and I luuuuveee GOD! J I just like mentioning that. Oh I am talking about the Korean artist GOD okay, not God of the heavens.

^^ Sangdoo telling the student who wants to kill himself and jump of a building, to just go ahead and jump off so that his ¡°nephew¡± (he really doesn¡¯t have a nephew) who is in 5th place since forever will become 4^th place when he jumps off. Oh my god this scene was hilarious!!

^^ Sangdoo playing the piano and singing James Ingram¡¯s Just Once in all English! Oh my lord! I loved him more here. I kept on repeating this scene over and over again! Rain looks so dashing here!!! I really like his husky voice! Wahhhh!! I just love Rain here!!! I went berserk in this scene, and telling Atche that his English is good, better than Kim Rae Won¡¯s hehehe¡¦

^^ Min-suk telling Eun-hwan ¡° I want to go to sleep and wake up in the morning with you¡±

^^ All the scenes of Sangdoo and Eun-hwan where they are just biking and walking in a field of flowers! The scenery is just so beautiful and breath taking!

^^ Eun-hwan¡¯s brother! Halfway thru the series, I realized he looks actually, kinda, cute too. Hehehehe¡¦ J

^^ Sangdoo asking his kid, Bori to just hug him because he is cold and when she did, he just cried.

^^ Sera having a makeover. I thought she was prettier than Gong Hyo-jin and indeed she is with her hair straight and her make-up toned down and her wearing pants. She looks really pretty!

^^ Sangdoo stopping Sera and Bori from leaving even after he knew Bori is really not his kid. He still loves her a lot.

^^ The ending.
