I am at the end of episode 11 of "The Snow Queen". I think this will end up to share my favourite drama place with "A Love to Kill", though they are completely different. ALTK is full of very dark undertones, Doestoevsky-like emotions of complexity and Angst (with the capital letter). Where ALTK is dark, "The Snow Queen" is pure. Where ALTK is Dostoevsky-like, "The Snow Queen" is indeed like a fairytale written by Andersen. As to Angst, there is enough angst in the both of them, and amazingly beautiful angst. :D One of the best things I like about "A Love to Kill" is that IMHO it has the best cinematography in Asian dramas, totally out-of-this-world. One of the best things I like in "The Snow Queen" (apart from the main hero played by Hyun Bin :D who is a math genius and has the child-like wonder of the character) is that it is filmed like a movie, not like a drama. No slow moving scenes, no annoying secondary characters. As vierran45 said, everything serves the point.

And as ALTK has some of the best and most passionate scenes of "THE Kiss" (and not only among Asian dramas), "The Snow Queen" has some of the most fresh and heart-breaking scenes of "The First Love".

One of my ever favourite scenes in "The Snow Queen" is in the episode 10. And this scene is one of my "BIG LOVES". As dangermousie correctly pointed in her post, not all cliche's are bad. Some of them just do so much for me that I cry /laugh/get heart flutters every time I watch them. And this is one of my favourites scenes in the world:

Tomorrow our in-laws are coming for lunch. I better put my "good cook" cap on. They are lovely people and always so nice to us. We went to their house last week and had some marvellous time full of my father-in-law funny stories and mother-in-laws cakes. They are great company.
