The Greatest Love



Quality Subtitles and DVDs from MBC
For the best audio and video quality with the original broadcast English subtitles, look for 'Studio: MBC America' under Product Details. MBC America is the licensed US distributor for The Greatest Love . MBC America works from the original MBC-TV master recordings and hires professional translators for the broadcast subtitles, which are also used for the DVD release. Each episode runs about 60 minutes. This set contains all 16 episodes complete in one volume.

D. Bannon was the subtitler for the MBC America broadcast and DVD release of The Greatest Love. He has subtitled many Korean dramas for MBC America and YA Entertainment. He discusses subtitling in The Elements of Subtitles, Revised and Expanded Edition: A Practical Guide to the Art of Dialogue, Character, Context, Tone and Style in Subtitling

Cute Korean Drama...
I actually watched THE GREATEST LOVE on Drama Fever via Roku, but if you are looking for a great Korean Drama with English subtitles, you can't go wrong with this set of 16 episodes.

If you haven't discovered Korean Dramas, I urge you to give them a try. I abhor Kung Fu movies and have never enjoyed foreign films, but Korean Dramas are all I watch now, it seems. I love the plots and learning about their culture, but also because Korean films are so unpredictable. You never know how many of them are going to end! Likewise, virtually all of these series have a set number of episodes of 16-24 hour episodes, like the mini-series that we have in the U.S., rather than programs that go on for years if they are successful.

THE GREATEST LOVE is a rather charming, but odd movie in some ways. It is about Koo Ae-Jeong, who was previously a huge star in an all-girl group - kind of like The Spice Girls. The group disbanded and for the last 10 years, she has been the sole...

Fabulous Watching!
As a huuuuuge fan of Korean Dramas, this lovely story definitely goes into my top 10 list.

Not only is Gu Aejong (Gong Hyo Jin) an absolutely adorable character as a "has-been" star, she captures your heart with her portrayal of a determined and loyal family member and friend. She makes her character shine and you can't help admiring her throughout the series. She's an amazing actress- you can actually see her in the KDrama Pasta (one of my favorites as well)

This series will make you laugh, it will make you mad at the "villains" and it will make you sigh.
