마지막 춤은 나와 함께

I just finished watching the final episode of Save the Last Dance and I must say that I am sad to see it end.
Characters:
The lovely Eun Soo, the girl next door with a heart so true,
The pretty Soo Jin, brought up as a Princess and expecting to marry her Prince Hyun Woo,
Hyun Woo--who wants to be an artist but must take over the family business empire. Even dark Tae Min has a side of him that is good, making him a more complex person than a cowboy with a black Stetson.

The story, like a roller coaster ride, was predictable from its memory loss beginning to the all embracing end, yet contained enough twists and turns that it makes you want to line up and ride again. It's love, the feelings that are pulled out of us as we watch Eun Soo and Chang Ho/Hyun Woo draw close and then be ripped apart and the desire to see them enjoined once more. It's the pain we feel for Soo Jin as she fights to grab hold of Hyun Woo only to watch him slip through her fingers like running water, most of us havng at one time or another loved someone who doesn't return that love. Perhaps this is what makes this drama so appealing, the pleasure of being made young again through these intrepid lovers.

The music is simply wonderful, after watching a few shows, the tunes bringing back the feelings with each song, the different scenes play on a mental movie screen with each note played.
