All of the actors did a superb job with their roles. While admittedly, there are some holes in the story line, I was thoroughly entertained by the series. And while many Korean dramas really let me down with the endings, I was actually okay with this one. He chose to leave the relationship in order to give everyone time to heal having faith that their love would endure the test of time like it had the times prior. I think Korean dramas more consistently offer great acting and stories than American dramas that go on endlessly. While I sometimes wish that Korean dramas were a bit longer, it is far better that they end than the American ones which go on and on with the main characters jumping into bed with yet another character.

Really wanted to like this series and have been generous with the rating.

It is carried entirely by the leading male characters with a special mention to Kim Tae-hoon, playing a deeply complex emotional paraplegic who has lied and schemed to get the FL to marry him with both sets of parents colluding in the marriage. It is a one sided love. Money and having a caregiver is clearly the motive here.

The actor that totally carries this series and makes it bearable is the ML, Ju Jin-Mo. An brilliant actor and the only reason I watched the series. Will watch anything he is in because he ACTS!

The FL and the secondary women are all terrible actresses. So bad that one literally cringed when they were in scenes for any length of time. JustoOne facial expression throughout. All need to go back to acting school.

The script had potential but needed a ton more work. The wardrobe and makeup both were tepid. The Director could have tried harder with the night scenes, but at least they recognised and showed clearly that the lead couple had a steamy bed life which was very loving. Although its time this sleeping in long sleeve winter clothes was done away with..smh.

I've been watching movies and television for over 40 years. I only recently got into some Japanese and Korean shows. One of the best that I've ever seen was "Descendants of the Sun."

My Love Eun Dong starts off with a great premise of a young high school boy who meets a 13-year-old girl who changes his life and how he lives it in a most profound way. It's clear that there is a love there, but she is suddenly forced to move away with her step-parents.

Ten years later, they meet again, and as they finally strike up a relationship, Eundong disappears, leaving Hyunsoo heartbroken and wondering what ever became of her.

Another ten years go by, and Hyunsoo, who is now one of Korea's top actors, uses his fame and influence to try and find Eundong.

What Hyunsoo and Eundong both end up discovering is a web of lies and fabrication by her current husband and his mother, as well as her own step-parents, because Eundong has lost her memory due to an accident, and so she is "given" false memories to maintain the charade of what really happened.

As the story gets going and becomes intriguing to the viewer to find out how Eundong will get her memory back and reunite with Hyunsoo, it suddenly collapses like a house of cards by unsympathetic and largely unlikable characters as well as too much melodrama. There's enough melodrama to fill three seasons of any regular show.

I will say that the performances are very well acted, despite nearly all of them playing characters with such weak and mostly unlikable personalities.

The stand out here is Jaeho. He is the only paraplegic character that I've ever seen who is about as cowardly and despicable as the worst villains in any TV show or movie that I have seen. The director tries to make the viewer sympathize with him, but he's devoid of anything approaching having "good" character qualities except for how he treats his son.

Eundong is a woman who is unable to truly think for herself and find her own power within. She makes decisions mostly based on what others tell her to do. She suffers from being abused by others largely because she has little self-respect and self-esteem. She's a woman with a big heart for everyone but herself.

And Hyunsoo, the character that we're supposed to sympathize with as much as Eundong, is an immature lout who barks orders at everyone, including Eundong. He's a 30+ year old man who acts like a teenager. He has fits of temper that would turn off any woman who had any self- respect. There are a number of scenes that make you wonder how Eundong could ever be with someone like that, but after seeing Eundong's own issues, it's not hard to understand.

The acting and production are well done, but the story and characters, which had so much potential, largely fail across the board. This isn't romantic or loving, as the story tries to make the viewer believe. This is about power and control, two things that have nothing to do with love. You wade through half of the series waiting for things to work out, and then finding at the end, a very empty and unfulfilling resolution, which causes the viewer to say, "I watched this whole thing for this?!"

If you want to see a Korean production worthy of your time with memorable, likable characters, and love that has integrity and value, I highly recommend "Descendants of the Sun." Don't waste your time with this one.

If you would like an outline of the story "spasek" has a very well written review in the reviews here, but I would like to add my reasons for my intense dislike of how this drama played out. First up I have to say that I am so frustrated by the union of such brilliant acting with such poor script writing. Mostly the characters are thrust into such ridiculous scenarios with the actors doing their best to make it believable, but it just leaves me really dissatisfied following a story that has little realistic continuity. My biggest problem with this K drama and many others is that evil is often rewarded or gets a free pass while good people suffer and are often only consolation prize winners, rather than "truth wins in the end" type conclusions.

My Love Eun Dong was one of the worst offenders I have seen so far. Eun Dong is subject to pressure from uncaring foster parents and hopeful potential in-laws who despite her feelings to the contrary want her to marry a man she has zero interest in. She only goes out with him in the first place to avoid the angry beatings from her step father. The so called boyfriend is told by Eun Dong that she has reconnected with the love of her life, so he then deliberately drives his car at speed into a truck, disabling himself in the process, (that for the next 10 years he blames her for), and tricks her into marrying him as she now has lost her memory as a result of the accident. He then lies that the baby Eun Dong was carrying at the time was his, and spends the next 10 years raising him as his own. The big problem here is that when he gets found out, instead of coming clean, the lies continue and he publicly ruins the reputation of all the innocent parties. This is all pretty typical drama, but the lying scumbag boyfriend, suddenly becomes the hero because he was a good father to the boy while the real father was awol only due to the evil deeds the now husband has committed. Almost every confidant from the real father's Dad to his sister sympathies with the evil husband because he has been such a great father. It is like someone who steals a car and gets caught with it 10 years later and the Police go, " well he kept it serviced and washed for the past 10 years he is now the rightful owner now, we can't take it from him. Don't get me started on the evil "President" Who sleeps with the private detective who is recording every move of Hyunsoo, who she is obsessed with, but would happily destroy him completely rather than lose him to someone else. After destroying Hyunsoo's reputation, business and career, we are prompted to feel sympathy for her because she loved him so much.

Please do not waste time on what should be and could have been a real feel good drama, unless you find it satisfying to see evil prosper.
