As a member of the cast of this award-winning drama, and as a foreign actor (non-Korean) that was blessed to work in that country's movie and television enterprises for more than 12 years, I am proud to tell the viewers that might get a chance to see this epic drama, that it is without question one of the most successful 36-hour dramas produced by MBC Television Network. It shows the physical harm that Japan had inflicted on South Korea for more than 36 years. Japan crushed Korea's education system, its women, and its history and culture. It tried to abolish their very existence. The "Eyes of Dawn" (English title) is a historically based love story of a people that would not give in to injustice and unrelenting torture. It is a love story of people and of a country torn to bits by a ruthless power that masqueraded as their neighbor. This drama aired in 1992 or 1993, and I believe it pretty much swept the awards during that year's awards ceremony. I am proud to have been cast to work alongside these wonderful, talented actors and actresses. If a five-star rating is a maximum then this drama deserves all five and plus some.
