Autumn Tale

Autumn Tale is an easier drama to review than to watch. Anyone who watches it will find themselves quickly enthralled in the tragic nature of this story. From the introduction of the siblings, to the very end of their journey which I will not spoil.

It is a well crafted story with good pacing and commendable performances from the three leads. However, this is where Autumn Tale hits its first and only roadblock. As you progress through the drama and more so when you reach the conclusion, you'll find that this drama clearly distinguishes itself as what I like to call a tissue box drama. Each plot device that follows seems to always add more and more to the tragic nature of the story. No one is every truly happy long enough before some sort of event happens to sucker punch everyone and anyone who didn't see it coming - which is everyone.

In this sense, this drama can be called a one-trick money, but depending on your state of mind, that one trick can be enough. This definitely isn't a drama I would recommend to be watched in one, two or three sittings. Unless your heart is made of ice, you will want to give yourself some breaks in between in order to hydrate yourself after crying out a quarter of your bodily fluids.

4/5 Recommended for lovers of romance, melodrama, tragedy and beautiful actors.
