The Pinnacle of Jo Insung's Career

Multipleh

That Winter, the Wind Blows is the pinnacle of Jo Insung's career. He made an impressive comeback as Oh Soo the conman who falls in love with the blind heiress. Jo Insung had a 5 year absence, his previous work had been in the film "A Frozen Flower" where he was criticized for his bland acting; however he comes alive here with sensitivity and luminescence. It was as if the part was written for him. He makes it entirely his own and has great chemistry with the lead actress the lovely ethereal Song Hye Go. Jo Insung's crying scenes were particularly wonderful and genuine especially the scene where Oh Soo talks about his background.

That Winter, the Wind Blows is about redemption and forgiveness. At times the story seems to lag on and nothing seems to happen, however the gorgeous production, wonderful setting, cinematography and great acting makes it all worthy.

score 8/10
