I hope everyone is having a great day whether you're relaxing or having a BBQ with friends and family. As we commemorate the meaning of Independence Day, I would like to dedicate my blog today recognizing an Asian American actor in a drama.
Spring Waltz is a Korean drama about Su-Ho a young boy who is abandoned by his loser gambling addict father on an island where he stays with Eun-Young, a weak child who is around his age and her mother. He attempts to leave the island to search for his father but stops as he becomes closer to Eun-Young and she touches his heart. Eun-Young is sick one day and is in need of surgery, but her mother could not afford it. Another family at the hospital hears of the situation and pays for the surgery, but ends up adopting Su-Ho and taking him overseas.
Years later Eun-Young has the opportunity to go to Austria and meets Phillip played by the handsome Daniel Henney. It was love at first sight. We quickly discover that Phillip is Su-Ho's manager, but Eun-Young does not recognize her friend. Now a famous pianist Su-Ho has changed his name and is all grown up so he doesn't recognize Eun-Young either. Will Eun-Young choose Chae-ha, her childhood friend who is getting engaged or Phillip, the caring man by her side?
This drama has beautiful sceneries from the island but as the characters move away, it also leaves the viewer wondering if the acting skills stopped too. Okay, I'm being a bit harsh. Aside from the acting, the love story was heartfelt and the musical pieces within the drama added a nice touch. As an American Korean actor, Daniel Henney definately made the drama interesting with the majority of his parts spoken in English. Regardless, he is eye candy for the ladies. He can be seen in the most recent summer Blockbuster X-Men Origins: Wolverine as Agent Zero.
I rate this drama 3 out of 5
