Review Love Story in Harvard

Novel Review: Love Story in Harvard

By: Jeon Wook

Love Story At Harvard is about the portrayal of the dream and love pursued by Korean students studying in Harvard. The drama demonstrates bright, hard-working, ambition, and romantic characters and story lines.

A young love story set at the famed Ivy League school in the United States. Kim Hyun Woo,a 1st year law student at Harvard Law, enters into a rivalry with classmate Hong Jung Min for the affections of beautiful medical student Lee Soo In. The two men are both from prestigious families, while Soo In is from a poor family.

This drama had a lot of promise considering that it was about foreign students at Harvard.I thought that this was going to happen in the U.S. and it will live up to the title about a romantic relationship in the Ivy League school.Unfortunately,that only happened in the first half of the drama.The other half happened in Seoul. Korean drama elements such as one of the lead characters having a terminal illness, a love triangle, the protagonist and the antagonist becoming friends and a happy ending took over. It became a clichéd drama just like any other Korean drama. Sad but true.

The first part of the drama was great. The love story between Hyun Woo and Soo In was great. The classroom mock trial, the disciplinary council scenes, the classroom rivalry between Hyun Woo and Hong Jung Min,the experiences of law students at Harvard Law School and the development of all the lead characters were great.

            Things went downhill when the story transferred to Seoul when expected Korean drama elements took over. There were also many unrealistic plots that were presented in the second part of the drama when all characters moved from Harvard to Seoul. It was just so disappointing that "Love Story At Harvard" had the promise to become an unforgettable and classic Korean drama. Unfortunately, this became an above average Korean drama instead of a classic one.
Besides, beginning of the storyline take place ambiguous and impressed “disgusting”  but just while.

My own opinion , Despite of my comments previously, I still would highly recommend "Love Story At Harvard" to anyone who enjoys reader a Korean Novel, for the description acting in this drama was great. We can get lesson from all figure, why there are so spirit of study and solidarity with friend so great.
