Thank You Episode 1
Thank You Starring Jang Hyuk and Gong Hyo Jin
Endearing, heartbreaking, and romantic, Thank You is an extraordinarily beautiful and well-written drama by the outstanding writer of legendary dramas, A Love to Kill and Sorry I Love You. Featuring brilliant performances from the entire cast, particularly Jang Hyuk (Robbers, Tazza) as a burnt-out surgeon, Thank You achieved consistently high ratings during it's broadcast in 2007.
Dr. Min Ki Seo (Jang Hyuk) is a brilliant, successful surgeon, but when his girlfriend develops pancreatic cancer and dies suddenly, he cannot bare to continue with his career. Worried about his well-being, his mother sends him to work on a small island to recover where he meets a woman named Lee Young-Shin (Gong Hyo Jin of Hello My Teacher) who causes him to remember his lover's dying wish: to find a little girl who was accidently infected with the AIDS virus under her care and make amends. Low and behold the little girl appears before his eyes in the form of Young-Shin's daughter. Dr. Min soon becomes a large part of their lives, and the unlikely trio bands together to deal with this unfortunate illness and in turn, learn some valuable lessons from one another.

the show is so well thought out, I will keep this show in my heart forever. Jang Hyuk is such a great actor. I love his voice. He can fight like Bruce Lee but more gracefully. He's more than eyecandy he can act. That temper will come right out of the TV and pop you a good one. I will watch anything he is in. I WANT TO SEE AN OPEN MOUTH KISS. What wrong with Koreans not enough on screen kissing. I adored the little girl with the face of an angel.

I wanted to update on my review how much I have re-watched this drama after the first time I watched it. It is such a good drama, it leaves you with the feeling that you might never find another drama as good as this one. Which of course is not true, but it is the fact that you feel this way what makes you come back to watch again. I have recommended this drama, and every person I recommend it to has to say something good about it. It has everything: good acting, good writing, good directing. Most of all, it has a wonderful message, the one that keeps getting overlooked in the common things we live day by day, but that remains there always. The message of love. Not because we are good neighbors, or friends ,or family members, but because we are human beings. The simplest reason why to love one another.

I love this drama and have watched it 3 times. The little girl is superb and infact all the actors/actresses played their part really well. The storyline is good however it lacked that little ommphhh at the end. Highly recommended!!!

I'm just shaking my head and groaning my way through this wondering why so many potentially great Kdramas are destroyed by clunky, awkward, even stupid plot twists. This one particularly could have been sooo much better, if only. Sigh :-(

Words cannot describe how deeply moved I was after watching this drama. In between the doctor trying to make amends for her mistake and the geneorcity of spirit exemplified by both the mother and Dr. Min, surely renewed my faith in what is good in mankind. The self sacrifice Lee Young Shin made to shield her daughter from the ugliness of reality while preserving her innocence via leading by example made this heroine sympathetic and endearing. Although Young Shin's daughter has the disease, she in effect heals Dr Min of his sorrow through the gift of love. Five stars all around. I highly recommend watching this drama.

Jang Hyuk is one of the most inspiring Korean actors of present time. So believable is his acting that his characters come to life. Producers: please make more Jang Hyuk dramas and movies!

Lyrical and well written, this show touched my heart. I love Jang Hyuk's performance as the tortured doctor and Shin Goo seems to be enjoying himself playing the grandfather suffering from dementia- just delightful. I love how the mom has created a life for her child in difficult circumstances. Seo Shin Ae's performance is of award-winning caliber. This being said, about the story itself, I can't help but wonder how 2 incompetent medical personnel end up at the same clinic? One would be funny. Both are just painful. I'm happy their writer have them improve their performance by the end.

So beautifully told, and directed. All the actors were exceptional. It was a tremendous joy seeing this, I could not stop watching it. Thanks to Lee Jae-Dong, the cast and the crew for this gift, THANK YOU. Needless to say that I am still in love with Jang Huyk.
