My Comment :

One of the best K-Dramas. Green Rose is very different from typical K-Drama as it is a mix of romance and suspense. As an innocent man who is trapped by the greed people around him without knowing what is actually happened. I feel that the “comeback to life” Jung Hyun, is full of hatred and revenge. We can see he does meditation in several scenes. It might be to make him calmer and to overcome his feeling, I guess.

I love Go Soo’s acting here. This is the first drama of Go Soo and Lee Da Hae that I watched. Lee Da Hae is also great. She can be so elegant in Green Rose and on the other hand, become so cheerful in her other drama My Girl.
