90 DAYS, TIME FOR LOVE
90 Il, Sarang Hal Sigan

STORYLINE: It was a love at first sight romance for Ji-seok and Mi-yeon. But when they found out that they are blood related, they decided to repress their feelings. After realizing that fate keeps on allowing them to meet unexpectedly, they finally gave in to what they feel and think is right at the moment. Everything turned out okay until Ji-seok has to marry Jung-ran for financial reasons and left Mi-yeon broken hearted.

Years passed, Mi-yeon got married to Tae-hoon who became her strength during her misery. She may look like she already forgotten her first love but deep inside, she is still hoping for explanations and closure.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: SPOILER ALERT :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Ji-seok came back to Korea with his wife to pursue a career in teaching. He tried to look for Mi-yeon out of guilt and regrets only to find out that she has already moved on without him. Things got more complicated when he was diagnosed to have pancreatic cancer. As much as he wanted to spend his remaining days with Mi-yeon, it is now impossible.

When Mi-yeon was told about Ji-seok's health condition, she tried to be with him no matter what other people might think. Given the chance to be together again, they are more than willing to fight for their love until the end.

REVIEWS: I was so excited to hear that Kim Ha-neul will be starring in a series because I am a fan. I am very impressed of her past performances. And from the title alone, I know this would turn out to be one heck of a drama. But I guess not.

I thought I will be all teary eyed but I think I expected too much from it. The problem with giving out the climax at the beginning, it tends to drag all the way. Everything seemed to be redundant, going back and forth. It's annoying how, at one scene, they want to be together, and the next, they push each other away, then be together. You really don't know what they want.

But they recovered at the end. All those dragging moments and waiting for something special paid off. From acting to the storyline, things gone better. It was worth the while. Although I got bored half the time, I still enjoyed watching Kang Ji-hwan and Kim Ha-neul. They even made me cry in the last 5 episodes.

Just a thought… did you realize that the "moral issue" of the story was overshadowed by the fact that one of the characters is dying? So the "forbidden" relationship was allowed and acceptable just because of a dying man's wish?
