Stairway to Heaven (DVD, 2005, 7-Disc Set)

Serendipity is wonderful thing. Allow me to take a moment to explain. One Sunday morning, my wife came to invade my indulgence with the talking heads, in particular, Tim Russert. She was raving about this TCM movie called A Matter of Life & Death.
Later, I went to imdb.com and found this David Niven was also called Stairway To Heaven. I search eBay & kept coming up with this Korean flick. I had seen Il Mare the Korean film Keanu Reeves’, The Lake House was based on and so I purchased Stairway To Heaven and Something Happened In Bali on eBay watch and soon began to wonder why I wasted my time watching American television. I now own 20 K-Dramas.
But since this review is about Stairway To Heaven, I will spend a few minutes discussing this incredible movie. Stairway To Heaven is a delicious stew of family dynamics mixed with the most stimulating array of love-preventing scenarios as you can imagine. The other reviews here tell you enough about the plot to ensnare you, but I will do here is give you the emotional reasons for watching. If you’ve ever been in love (not lust), and you know the feeling of the tortured loss of a loved one, Stairway To Heaven will wring the tears out of you before you have a chance to say “…men don’t cry”, at least that’s what I thought before this flick.
You can’t imagine the level of complex emotions this movie will evoke from within you. You’ll find yourself screaming at the evil stepmother while hating one of the sisters. You’ll be tortured by the affection a blended-family brother can have for his blended-family sister. You will find yourself justifying the near-taboo, and hating with everything, the status quo. This flick will toy with emotions you didn’t even know you had.
It’s been said that K-Dramas are addicting. I warn you here & now; they are indeed! Why? Because they cause you to experience wonderful emotions you will not be accustomed to, and you’ll want that feeling again, and again, and again. I’ve read most of the reviews already posted here and Stairway To Heaven is truly a five star flick.
One thing of note; please try to get the YA Entertainment version of any K-Drama. The subtitles are fantastic. By the way, an incidental benefit to viewing these is that you will slowly begin to pick up the language and its conjugative inflections. And you will marvel how wonderfully modern South Korea is. It’s not like you would believe and I personally can’t wait to visit Seoul. I like these movies so much that I am taking a Korean language course so that I can heighten my experience even more. Don’t be afraid to invest in the hefty price of this box-set. After you get to the end, you will realize that it was a bargain at twice the price. Further, you should find and buy Winter Sonata and Something Happened in Bali right away. Why? Because when you’re done with Stairway To Heaven, you’ll want another addictive jolt right away.
And finally, and you can quote me here; don’t screw around and lose you job by being constantly late to work. Many viewers of K-Dramas report watching till 2 ~ 3 am unable to stop, knowing full well that they had to go to work in the morning. Trust me, it WILL happen to you and you will drag your tired and sleepy carcass to work the next day unable to concentrate and you’ll find yourself anxious to get home to see the next installment.
Stairway To Heaven, one helluva movie, I guarantee it.

Mike Way, movies; the reel deal

Great delivery time! great quality! everything you promised! thanks!!i will defineatly buy from you guys again! it's been a great experience working with you guys, can't wait to do it again.

Stairway to Heaven is a good movie to watch. The story is quite romantic and drama. But I do not like the end because it is not "happy ending". The story talked about the love of two persons. These two persons love each other since they are young until they grow up.... their love stay still. If you like romantic - drama movie ... you should not miss this movie.

this was an amazing dvd. not only did i like it, but so did all of my friends and family. the story was very interesting and kept me and my friends in suspense. the actors all gave magnificent performances.

Good story line and subtitles. Quality of film was excellent.
What a tragic story for all the characters envolved in the story line. The love plot showed the effect of positive love and wrong love. Each charater was was true to their own convictions. Just wished she had beat the odds after all that happened in her journey of life.

I loved this TV drama, but didn't expect so much emotion. I enjoy different cultures, and thought it might be interesting to see a little bit of this type of culture from watching one of their TV dramas. Definitely recommend this show. Get some tissues!

The acting is the best.
I like evrything about it,very good actors
Korean drama is the Besttttttttttttttttttt.

Another great Choi Ji Woo event.
As with most Korean dramas it drags in places but just seeing Choi Ji Woo makes up for it.
A good plot and with great acting makes you love & hate with passion.
As one can see I am an ardent Choi Ji Woo fan and think she is not only beautiful but a great actress.

I finished watching this episodes and I fell in love the the characters. The story is not too long and drawn out, and yet it still has good story and character development. I had so much empathy for the couple and cried many times throughout. All in all, Stairway To Heaven was fantastic and complete.

I decided to buy the DVD because I've seen the movie and it's an excellent one. All the Korean drama watchers will agree with me on this. For those who haven't ever seen a Korean drama, boy, once you see a good one like this, you're hooked.

this is the best korean drama i've seen. it's very heartwarming because of it's surprisingly amazing story and because of the superb performances by its lead actors especially kwon sang woo. you must definitely see this movie.
