Jo In Sung's two women, Song Hye Kyo and Seo Hyo Rim, appear to be complete opposites.
In the SBS drama "That Winter, The Wind Blows", there are two very different women involved with Oh Soo (Jo In Sung). These two women are, his fake little sister, Oh Young (Song Hye Kyo) and his ex-girlfriend Jin So Ra (Seo Hyo Rim).
** Oh Young, the Woman Oh Soo Loves
Oh Young is a woman who has everything a typical person would wish for. She is beautiful and she also has an incredibly large amount of monetary assets. The only thing she does not have however, is her eyes. She uses her hands and ears to see and understand. This is the reason Oh Young feels sad even when his older brother Oh Soo shows up again after 20 years.
At first, Oh Soo pities himself for trying to get close to a blind woman after impersonating her dead older brother to steal her money. As Oh Soo meets the people around Oh Young, he begins learn their true intentions and starts trying to protect her. Oh Soo eventually falls in love with her. If he had pushed her into a moving subway train or had fed her the poison Jo Moo Cheol (Kim Tae Woo) gave him, he would have never fallen in love with her. Oh Soo was the only person who knew Oh Young's cry "Kill me" was actually a call for help.
Oh Young was like a 6-year-old child living in her glass castle before Oh Soo arrived. Her mental state froze after she was separated from every single member of her family. She asks Oh Soo to sleep on the same bed with her because she has trouble sleeping and even kisses him. Oh Soo believes that sleeping on the same bed is inappropriate but eventually gives in after Oh Young convinces him.
Oh Soo loves Oh Young for her innocence and her inability to take care of herself. She is like a pure and innocent child to Oh Soo, who has seen the worst of the world. Before he even realizes it, he is madly in love with Oh Young and is willing to die for her.
** Jin So Ra, the Woman Who Loves Oh Soo
If Oh Young is like the color white, then Jin So Ra would be dark red. Jin So Ra tells Oh Young that she is Oh Soo's girlfriend and sets up a meeting. Oh Young shows up wearing an ivory colored coat and Jin So Ra wears a red one. These colors are very symbolic of their personalities.
Jin So Ra is willing to do anything and everything in order to get Oh Soo's heart. However, her love is psychotic. Jin So Ra frames Oh Soo for embezzlement and he ends up serving time in prison. Even after all she has done to him; she is always proud and confident. She simply tells him that she did it because she loves him. When he wants nothing to do with her, she becomes even more possessive.
Jin So Ra fails to differentiate her emotions of love and possessiveness. Jin So Ra refuses to stop even when Oh Soo tells her hurtful things. She begins to threaten him that she will reveal everything to Oh Young but he does not budge.
Only time will tell whether Oh Soo will be able to find happiness at the end.
