Jillibean Jul 21 2023 12:44 am Two decades later and this, I'm Sorry, I Love You, my first Korean drama watched ... rather, experienced... remains in my top five Korean drama favorites' list, even though I am approaching 950 enjoyed over those two decades of time. High honor: you never forget your first. :) After all this time I'd love to see So Jisub and Su Jeong Im reunited for a drama or film. I know they've remained friends all these years, so their chemistry would be just as powerful on screen again, if not more. Moo Hyuk and Eunchae will forever remain in my heart, even after I die and go to heaven.

Park Min Jan 20 2023 7:59 pm Let's state the obvious, the drama got a fantastic cast all of them bounce off each other smoothly. There was a great chemistry flouting around and everything fitted nicely. However, the story/writing was problematic and I almost feel I can't complain about how it was because that's what was popular back then. Even though I liked the setting and the premise. There was a lot more to be done with it instead of just roaming around. The saddest thing about the drama is how lonely and estranged Moo Hyuk always remained despite having people around him. Anyway, it's worth watching for the cast and vibes alone.

That one scene where Moo Hyuk was peeing on the front door had me dying ???

whi 13 May 14 2021 9:25 am This drama is just too depressing. I still cry a river when I rewatch this. Definitely one of my most favorite kdramas of all time. Also Moohyuk is one of my favorite character in kdramas. So Ji Sub is so handsome❤️ I'm not gonna forget about this drama, will always and forever be in my heart..

Monhrle Mar 24 2021 4:15 am I kid you not. I remember watching this drama when I was in highschool, I finished it within a week and by the end of the week, my room was covered in tissues. This drama was the first melo drama I had ever seen and it wreCKed me. However, it is such a classic kdrama that you have to watch. So if you're ever in that mood where you just want to let your emotions out, give this drama a watch! I still think about this drama 10 years later.... T-T

one candle Feb 17 2021 7:01 am

spoiler alert*

I have known this drama for a long time, but I decided to watch it in 2021. I know this is a melodrama and I know this drama has a sad ending, but what I believe when watching it is Cha Moohyuk will die at the end of the episode. I never thought that Eun Chae decided to accompany Moohyuk in heaven. Try to hold my tears but can't. One of the best melodrama that i've ever watch.

evaska Jan 22 2021 9:42 am nowadays i cant get taste of old dramas from new ones.I've enshrined all of my youth memories with these in my heart. still cant get over...

Remiel Jan 20 2021 7:01 am My first K-Drama... Almost 15 years and still love this drama...

miane Apr 22 2020 1:49 am i remember i watched this in 2004, and i don't remember how many time i watch this drama and still cry whenever i watched this drama... the best drama ever.. and congratulation to my very first fav korean actor soejisub for your wedding... finally my ajussi have a wifey ^^

CrazyFan*of#SoJiSub# Apr 19 2020 1:43 am It was very touching story with a very very sad ending.....tears never stoped in general and especially in "finale". Amazing acting- So Ji Sub just perfect actor.....the best ever !!!!! Impossible not to fall in love with.......just perfect man

Sangay Mar 10 2020 2:59 am I watched this drama in 2010 and I rewatched this every year till now..I cry everytime i hear the ost snowflower ..I dont know, I just cant get off this drama .the song snowflower touches my heart every time and makes me sad . One of the best drama out of 184 drama I watched till now.

My favorite Dec 19 2018 6:26 pm Where can I buy this drama? Like dvd or so

JOSEFINA Jun 04 2018 11:00 pm I have just finished watching this drama and I'm still crying. I think it's an excellent drama and I liked all actors and actress, but So Ji Sub was spectacular!!!

Susanne Jan 15 2018 6:21 am I've rewatched this drama so many times. It's one of those dramas that you can never get tired of. It's depressing but it has such a touching storyline to it that you get hooked every episode. Seriously, I was depressed for a good week after finishing this drama and I'm gonna torture myself by watching it again. Lol. I fell in love with So Ji Sub's character and he had perfect chemistry with Lim So Jung. Just writing about So Ji Sub's character makes me tear up. The things he went through.. all because of one choice that a person made.. It's so sad. It's truly a touching and sad story. It's easily one of my favorites.

Astro_WekiMeki_HelloVenus_5urprise_Fantagio Sep 14 2017 5:56 am I really like the Japanese version of this drama. The OST is a bop. The actor is I CANT EVEN- my kokoro cant take it~ Tomoya Nagase and Kentaro Sakaguchi >< Riho Yoshioka the heroin tho~ so pretty.

serge de gosson de Varennes Aug 14 2017 1:15 am HI! I have just started to learn Korean and discovered this drama. Awesome! Does anyone know if it is possible to get the screenplay (in hangul)? Has it been release as a pocketbok series? If so, where can i find it? Thank you!

farhan kang Jul 25 2017 6:00 am I was watching this drama in 2017. because I'm so curious of this and has never been watch before

Sarah Jul 05 2017 8:33 pm One of the best ever heart warming drama. I really wonder about so ji sub acting.. Really mesmerizing... What expressive eyes he had.. The story line and screenplay was just amazing... Even after ten years you could watch this one definitely it will become the best... I really loved it...

Lisette Jun 26 2017 5:56 pm I just discovered that there will be a Japanese version of "Sorry I love you" and since this K-Drama is such a masterpiece, I almost feel like ... well I would say don't even try, there will never be a version of this drama as genuine and touching as this one with So Ji-Sub. A man who discovered too late the true meaning of love when everything is his heart was revenge, how he was drawn by his new emotions, overwhelmed in such a tender way. So-Jung and Ji-Sub are so touching, so real, so intense... And that scene when he was eating his mom's food for the first time - his mom's reaction as well ... This is when he definitely abandon the idea of revenge... I cried way after the episode was over ... And like I masochist I rewatched it, so many times - I wonder how the people on set could stay still behind the camera. Definitely, this is my forever favorite drama along with "Secret" with Ji-sung. I recommend to everyone to watch this ... and if someone think it's slow pace, remember that creating the long-lasting genuine feeling to the viewers, those things take a little time, so you wait a little, expect a little, and melt into the moment a little too. :) Please watch !!!

dietmntndew Apr 10 2017 8:05 pm Im doing a Lim Soo Jung marathon thats why I watched this. Story isnt my cup of tea but seeing Soo Jung and Si Jub made it okay. (Realizing that the other male lead was the guy from Missing 9 was a bonus, couldnt recognize him bc he was so young here and seems like he had surgery done hehe) Ending was bad imho. The eomma is entitled to the truth! Story was slow even if this is a melodrama but i think thats how normal shows pacing were made 10yrs ago. Anyway, still a good watch. The leads were total babes. ALSO!!! before I forget, anyone else saw Dao Meng Su (Jerry Yan from Meteor Garden) in Ji Sub's style here? I never even thought that they had similar facial features until I saw Ji Sub here Hahahaha

J Jan 20 2017 8:19 am I was listening through an ost playlist on apple music when I heard park hyo shin's snowflower. I fell in love with the song and looked for its mv in youtube, only to find that its the ost of I'm sorry I love you. After watching the mv with some parts of the movie, I felt like I really need to give it a try. I like sad dramas even if they leave me depressed for days or even weeks. I actually knew the tragic ending after reading its plot in wiki but I decided to give it a try because I was very curious. Ep1 got me hooked. I really love sjs's character cha moo hyuk. Im soo jung was so cute as eun chae. Each episode made me anticipte the next one right away. I don't usually finish dramas even if they're short. I get bored easily but mannnnn this one is so amazing. The plot was developed brilliantly. I fell in love with all the characters. The screenwriter gave each character the right attention and each episode drives my emotions crazy. I can't stop thinking about it and I'm planning to re-watch it real soon. Everything was perfect. I would give it 99/100. The reason why i did not give it a 100 was because the ending was a little bit rushed. But still it's worth watching and right now it stood as the best kdrama i've ever watched! I still can't move onnnnn

Rainbow Fish May 21 2016 9:57 pm A soulful performance by the lead actor So Ji Sub makes this series worth watching. This could have been your average Korean melodrama however, the sincere, soulful and heartfelt performance by So Ji Sub elevates this melodrama to the highest degree. "Sorry, I Love You" is a journey of a young man who transforms from a minor vengeful petty thief into a decent caring human being. So Ji Sub's transformation throughout the series is quite remarkable, he displays great sadness and longing for love and acceptance. Lim Su-jeong who plays the unlikely love interest also gives a tender and genuine performance.

Overall, the series has a rather karmic and dark message about "whatever comes around goes around". Su-jeong's father ends up suffering the most for giving up the twin babies and keeping the secret from the lead character's mother. It's not your average K-Drama the message of the drama is at the very end of the series. Great story writing and great acting by So Ji Sub makes this series one of the best K-Dramas. It's definitely worth watching.

Chisomo Apr 20 2016 9:17 am There are a good number of instances which hinder us from loving someone. The moment we realise that we can love freely, our beloved encounters a problem which makes our friendship impossible. So, it is a lesson to us in love to utilise each and every opportunity to love.... Very nice, touching and inspiring drama!

AsianDramaPearls Apr 07 2016 1:26 am This is one of the best dramas that I have ever seen! I first watched this drama about two months ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it and feeling like I need to watch it again. So I just saw it for the second time and it was so worth it. I don't usually watch dramas that may be sad or view them multiple times, but from the beginning this drama has the best story line, the best actors, the best cinematography and the best music. It was intriguing to the end especially with new twists that you would never guess in the last few episodes. All combined, it will be hard to find another drama that I like as much as this one. I highly Highly recommend that you see it. Just watch the first episode--you won't be able to stop after that. I gave "I'm Sorry, I Love You" a rating of 98 out of 100. Great job to everyone who was involved with this drama! Take care.

Milly Mar 11 2016 8:56 am The story is different and refreshing. But I'm sorry I don't like this drama. ...

Wanda Mar 04 2016 6:11 am @ novel is thisa romcom for you? It's a revenge melodrama, man/girl. I'm on ep 7 right now and this drama is really making me crying a river. I've already read that the ending was tragic with both Moo Hyuk & Eun Chae died but damn.., this drama is too good for me to drop it halfway for its ending(i tend to avoid dramas with tragic endings but this one is an exception).

ayanosuke01 Feb 22 2016 2:54 am I watched this about 10 years ago and I admit I've forgotten how the story goes but I do remember crying my hearts out all through out the series TT~TT ...One of the saddest series I've seen, and not to mention the perfectly sad theme song "Snow Flower". I was still a kdrama newbie when I first watched this, since then I've grown quite used to the "kdrama formula". I need to rewatch this and re-evaluate if it's really as sad as I remembered it.

Balang Jan 14 2016 7:18 pm There's a Chinese movie remake on this and it's good. A shorter version of this drama.

Thongalore Dec 27 2015 1:29 pm Sadder than Gu Family Book! All just misunderstandings!

Thongalore Dec 27 2015 1:26 pm This is a really sad Korean Drama! Kind of slow at the beginning but because of my love for So Ji-sub I continued my binge watching, I can't stop crying, it's sadder than Gu Family Book!

fighting Dec 22 2015 5:40 pm Damn I had cried more then song eun chae n cha moo hyuk .... sarange ajushi sarange sarange sarange ajushi

Sonsarae Dec 17 2015 7:26 pm Very good entertainment, with a solid story! It is paced perfectly, for all the story lines. From the very beginning to the very end the writer wove this drama beatifully.

Emkay Apr 20 2015 10:12 am Wow. Just wow, blew me away. Best of the classic dramas you can catch up on if you're new to Kdramas. So Ji sub never disappoints.

Godhuli Apr 10 2015 2:57 am It was the 1st K-drama I watched & it's still my most favourite. No other serial ever dragged so much emotion...

abdulateef Mar 30 2015 1:57 pm sory i love you is the best drama i have ever seen.i love it so much

abdulateef Mar 30 2015 1:44 pm the best drama i have ever seen.i love it

leena Mar 30 2015 2:26 am one of the best drama it become so emotional n show deeply love.i ran out of tear watching this drama.

Megura Mar 27 2015 5:17 am I watched this drama again. this is the 11 times I watch since 10 years ago. love this drama so much. and still crying.

A08 Feb 26 2015 2:36 pm every time when i remember this drama i start to cry <\3

afsora Nov 15 2014 5:30 am I love the starting... but after few episode it became too emotional... I really like the lead actor so Ji sub...but I don't think this is the best k- drama..

sonjia Oct 18 2014 9:40 am I wanted to know more about the mother towards the end. Man this drama hits the core. The last two eps leading to the end got draggy. I can only handle so many cry scene. The damn main actress. Also when that report came out from the fax at the end. It freakn ripped my heart out. Also if that grave was so fresh looking does that mean she killed herself very quickly. If so does her whole family and friends thinks she just traveling? They have no clue that she been dead? No missing report been filed so they won't know? Jesus

itsjustme Sep 26 2014 4:03 pm One of tHe BEST K-actors So Ji Sub ... this drama is a tearjerker but momentum is up to the last.. Eun-Chae and Cha Moo Hyuk great love for one another had prevailed until the end. Sad... but I very much LOVE it!

LANA HH Jul 01 2014 8:06 am There's a mistake in the above description , Choi Yoon is not his twin .. He turned to be a boy adopted by MooHyuk's mother in the memory of her lost baby " in fact they are two, Moohyuk and his twin sister " that she thought was dead ..

The most painful thing is that the truth didn't prevail in the end ..

MyOhana Jun 22 2014 1:54 am I was pulled in through the theme-song, "Yuki-no-Hana" (Nakashima Mika), it seemed so sad and lonely by itself... even to someone like me, who could barely interpret it. Knowing this song was used as the theme of this television drama (Sorry, I Love You) pulled me on the diversion that takes me here... The story line of this Korean drama also brought tears to me... gaah. Good thing these stories are just fiction... or, are there really real-life stories out there like this one? I'm have a curiosity for melodrama and sad love stories, fictional and real alike.

Fullheart5 May 30 2014 3:52 pm I am not watching this one either. Sad movies only depress and it seems this is one of the saddest.

Aslialisa May 12 2014 7:16 am This is my first korean drama watch. This drama also makes me fall in love with another korean movie ..

even now Ajusshi Eun cha and never replaced in my heart the pair will always be in my heart

dramaaddict~ Apr 21 2014 5:51 am If you're into sad dramas, this is the one. This drama made me cry so much! 100% recommend to watch - it's an awesome drama~ but I just wish 'ajusshi' and Eun-Chae had more time together! The ending was perfect (not perfect how he died, but how it ended~)! Just gorgeous~

Hwaiting everyone! ~

Mary BT Apr 06 2014 6:37 pm Oh God, I finish to watch this drama right now, and I have to say I never seen before a drama so sad, so much love and so sort time to be together. Definitely occupy a place in my top 10 favorite dramas of all times with "Stairway to Heaven". I knew that will have a sad ending, but I never imagine so painful, Is the drama I drop more tears with! No recommended for the people that enjoy of god ending, this ending is really sad. I just wondering why almost all Korean Script writers like to make us cry so much, but I love all Dramas, so thanks all Korean people for such amazing talent!

berez Mar 27 2014 5:31 am Oh my gosh, this drama drives me crazy! I never cried that much while watching a drama. The best and almost the most sad drama I`ve ever seen<3 I loved So Ji-Sub in this one, his acting was superb. He`s actually one of my favorite actors<3

berez Mar 26 2014 3:23 pm Oh my gosh this drama drives me crazy! I never cried that much while watching a drama.The best and almost sadest drama I`ve ever seen!<3 I loved So Ji-Sub in this one, his acting was superb. He`s actually one of my favourite actors<3 love from switzerland:)

boo Mar 26 2014 6:56 am I'm sorry I love you too ! its makes me nut, I can't sleep at night after watching this drama, even its old drama but its the best ever !! love from Indonesia ..*-*

Andrada Mar 23 2014 8:33 pm Thank you all for posts, I was curious about this series and I wanted to know if it ends well... :) I don't like to watch sad movies, I refuse to see anything sad (if I can choose). so thank you all who wrote here, this way I know to skip this if it brings me tears and sadness... I want only happiness and smiles and love in my life; it's enough sadness and tears in our real life to accept this from a movie ... when I want to watch a movie, I want to get laugh, smiles, happiness and all good and positive feelings. This is my opinion :)

Cisqo Da DON Jan 14 2014 10:34 pm One of the best dramas of all time but sad to say this drama flopped here in the Philippines because it was aired by GMA 7 =(

Leigh Nov 11 2013 9:15 am I have seen this drama so many times... This is on top of my list for the saddest and tear jerkiest ever drama that up until now I can't bear to watch the last episode again. So Ji Sub's Acting skills is brilliant just brilliant he really deserved all the award and attention he gained in this drama.

herbmom Oct 26 2013 5:13 pm This drama says a lot about a person's capacity to love and sacrifice. So sad. I wish there had been a little more opportunity for them to actually smile and enjoy time together. I loved watching him follow her as she walked.Good drama.

Simonne_10 Sep 30 2013 10:46 am Absolutely gorgeous ! These people drives me crazy ! I had no idea that the most incredible tales for grown-up people, full of love even there are historical dramas, come from Korean realms. Thank you, Korean People !

Ann Sep 28 2013 9:12 am Gosh this drama makes my tears constantly come out. I have never cried as hard while watching a drama. So Ji Sub acting is brilliant. Poor my eyes, they are swollen and red....

FATEME May 24 2013 2:00 pm I was shocked at its pondering ending....I think if it had not been ended in that way all efforts would have been in vain. That is the best korean drama i've ever watched.Although i still feel deeply sad in my heart when i REMEBER it ,it was worth watching with its absolutely different and precious script.i am fed up with those series with triangle love that one guy has to withdraw whatsoever but this drama is really different and has a new story and about So Ji Sub(소지섭) he is an absolute actor i watched his 'always' and 'a company man' he is really wonderful. thank you all my friends in Korea...

Fatih Feb 09 2013 6:28 am @Madeleen, Sojunghansaram ( My Precious Person ) and singed Kim Sung Pil.

Madeleen Jan 14 2013 11:06 am I really need your help with this: I'm searching for the name and the singer of the song in the final episode, when there's a flashforward and those two men talk about that Yoon recovered thanks to the heart of his brother. This song is suppossed to be sang by Yoon, but I can't find it on his real name, so I assume it's sang by someone else?! Please help me find this song

Fa Sob Oct 09 2012 7:56 am is the best Drama of korea All ! Bravo So Ji Sub ( Cha Moo Hyuk ) ^^ perfect Star ! lovely Drama so much Is encouraged <3 fighting saghrane ^^

zamen Jul 05 2012 10:55 pm I ran out of tear watching this drama. I love so ji sub, love all his movie. love everything on him.

Lolo Mar 28 2011 3:07 am the plot has some mistakes like that yoon is his twin brother he is not he was adapted by moo-hyuk mother and moo-hyuk do has a twin sister who also was abandoned too ..

cullengabriela Feb 15 2011 3:07 am i loved the OST.!the sadest song that i've ever listen........!!!!!!!!!!sun flower by park hyo shin!!!! is this movie made by the same person that directed winter sonnata,endless love and spring waltz..........????????b'coz all of that movies looks not defferent at all...

RazorbladeKiss Apr 24 2009 1:50 pm The best tv show i have ever seen in my life! But its the saddest thing i`ve seen aswell...
