Already a legendary figure across Asia due to the massive success of the drama Winter Sonata (2002), Bae Yong-joon stepped away from his typical "perfect gentleman" image. As In-su, he portrays a man hollowed out by grief and emasculated by betrayal. His performance is subtle, conveyed through heavy silences, slumped shoulders, and sudden outbursts of repressed rage.

Because the television film originally aired entirely in German, English translations are highly sought after by international film enthusiasts.

Because the film is older, fan-made subtitles are the standard. The quality is usually good, though occasionally the timing might be slightly off depending on which video version you have (different file extensions/runtimes). You may need to adjust the subtitle sync (using the H and G keys in VLC) to match the audio.
