This was the first Korean drama that I ever saw! It will forever hold a special place in my heart...

This one touched your heart and showed you that love is possible in the most unlikely place and with the most unexpected person. This is one of those that gives you hope for love. It shows you that love can truly conquer all, if you just have a little faith in it.

I'm sorry, I'm a hopeless romantic! That was really mushy and now that I've said that, I can review the drama. Great chemistry! The cast was awesome. My favorite is Uhm Ki Joon's character (Chae Eun Suk). He was such a refreshing reminder that love comes in all forms. i half wanted Kim Sun Ah's character to end up with him. A must see... again and again and again... :)

whoaaaaaa !!! this was a hell of a drama, it's my first review so that means that this drama is something else, I loved it so much I never saw anything like this in everything the romance, the feelings and emotions and the acting just everything was perfect. the writers managed to deliver an awesome piece of art
you can't expect anyhting in this drama and you would find yourself addicted to it from the first episode, you won't be able to stop watching not just because of cliffhangers but you won't be able to get enough or bored of the chemistry betwwen lee dong wook and kim sun ah nor you would be able to sit a minute wondering what will happen between them or how would the ending turn out , you would find yourself worrying about kim sun ah as if it was a close friend for you, you would feel happiness, sadness, and worriness in every episode, you will laugh but you will also cry your eyes out so be ready for a box of tissues
I would say that every actor portrayed his character brilliantly, there was no fault with the acting, lee dong wook and Kim sun ah nailed it especially that Kim sun ah's role was a hard one and I don't think that just anybody can do this role that well
the story was very well written and the plots were perfectly made you won't think that there are cliches and the writers produced a totally non cheesy romance but the exact opposite I actually waited for every romance scene and enjoyed it to the fullest , the kisses were something else they weren' t just normal kisses every kiss was unique and had a different feeling you would wish to be the one kissed instead, hahahahaaaa, the tango scenes were also amazing I actually happened to love tango after watching ths drama , the relation between every character had a meaning and the character developments was excellent not only the lead characters were the one devolped but seriously every character changed and devolped bit by bit and you would be able to notice it easily, the story was nothing like any kdrama story it's one of a kind , you won't get bored for even a second , actully you'll find yourself crying whenever they cry, laughing whenever they laugh, getting angry if you saw them sad or broken or angry, you would really feel like this drama has become part of your life that you don't know how you'll complete your life without it , you would feel great emptiness once you finish the drama , seriously i'm warning you it's addictive well i started with 2 episodes than 3 than it devolped to 8 and then I finished the last 3 episode one shot it's been a vey very long time since I've watched a drama in such a short time or maybe it's been a long time since I've found such an amusing, perfect and addicting drama
maybe the comedy in this drama won't be that much but still, you would find yourself smiling like a fool in a cute and romantic scene or whenever you see our lee Yeon Jae (Kim sun ah ) happy and strong and defending herself and her pride
i'm pretty sure your heart would beat very fast with every episode and i'm also sure you would need a huge box of tissues beside you in every episode
now the music is also addictive I've been listening to it since I've finished the drama it really fitted the drama and every song and music was played in the right time, I don't think there was anything wrong with music actually it's one of the best osts ever

soooo, i guess after all of that you would be thinking of watching it , right ?? believe me you won't regret it instead your drama list would be missing a great deal and you would be wasting your time and you'll regret not watching this drama IT REALLY IS AWESOME ..... A GREAT BLOCKBUSTER TO BE HONEST !!!! i don't think you would ever be able to forget it and believe me you may end up crying after the drama is finished just because you won't be seeing it again just as it happened with me , i finished the last episode and just cried and i feel like rewatching it again yeah i don't mind rewatching it a 1000 of times
please give it a try you'll love it for sure !!

I had to work myself up to watch this one. I knew, from the plot summary and other sources, that this wasn't going to be a feel good happy smiley romantic comedy, and I'm glad I steeled myself against it before I even started to watch, because I don't think I would have got through it otherwise. On the other hand, because of this, my emotions were less engaged, and so I think it was hard for me to connect with the characters here.

Overall, I think the writer, actors and director did a good job of bringing this story to the screen. They treated the heavy subject matter with respect and honestly, which truly, is the only way you can treat it, and that's not to say there wasn't any levity in the show, because in life, no matter what you're going through, there will always be those moments of levity or brightness. But for me, it was just too heart wrenching and a little bit close to home. I don't deal well with that type of drama, because generally I watch to escape reality, not to be immersed into it.

Lee Dong Wook was hot, if a little stiff - I kept being reminded of his role in Goblin which I had watched first and where I thought he was just delightful. The tango scenes were hot. There should have been much more tango and less... dying. Kim Sun Ah was fantastic in her role, and the character really did come into her own. As for the ending... honestly, I was expecting it to be a lot more depressing than it was, so I was satisfied with what they did with it.

I should start by saying this is actually the 2nd time I'm watching this drama, and although it's now among only a handful of other dramas I've loved enough to Re-Watch, my first watch wasn't all that enjoyable for me, and after completing it my final rating was a mere 5.5/10. Truthfully I don't think I was mature enough several years ago when I first checked out this drama, since it deals with a rather heavy subject matter (Cancer) and I was only a teenager at the time. Now as an adult I can safely say that although it's been slightly less than a decade since this drama came out it's truly one of the most beautiful and touching stories I've watched from Korea.
The story had amazing flow throughout. I tend to watch dramas on increased speed if it starts to feel slow, but not once did I speed it up at all! The love-story between the ML and FL made sense, you could feel the fact that these characters were falling for each other. Outside of the main leads all other characters didn't magically change to fit the story, everything felt right and natural.
The acting was spot on Lee Dong Wook is a KDrama actor that I truly admire, and his work in this drama was no different, my first time watching this I felt that the FL was too whiny, but now I felt that EVERY SINGLE TIME she got emotional it was heartfelt she TRULY transformed into her character. All other actors did phenomenal in their roles as well, there wasn't a single weak link in the cast!
I typically don't pay attention to music in dramas, but once again this drama blew me away with it's perfect ballads and songs that were meaningful, yet also pleasant to listen to.
Rewatch Value is a 10/10 for me, because I literally just Re-Watched it, coming from someone that has over 100 dramas/movies in her "Plan to Watch" list that's pretty darn special!
All in all this drama was a delight to watch, just keep in mind that it's pretty heavy so go into it prepared to shed some tears. :)

I like the funny side of this drama . I did't expect it , it's not typical sad story , but shown in happy way with a beautiful message . Acting was amazing , but fo sure i expected more for Lee Dong-Wook . This is my first drama with Kim Sun Ah , and i think she is very good actress , i really like her acting in this show . The full strory was good , but i would rather more unexpected thing happend . The whole drama is worth to see for sure , if you like this kind of story with a little bit fun , and i must say I love the last verse of this drama .

I'm writing my review now even though the drama isnt finished because I decided to drop.



The story started off really interesting and exciting. But then by then half way through it just became this downer. Every episode was just sad and also repetitive. The plot slows down because there's not a lot of story to tell once they confess to liking each other. Every episode after that is just a reminder that KSA's character is going to die.



Speaking of KSA she really is a phenomenal actress. However this is one of my least favorite roles from her. I much prefer her in City Hall. I like KSA funny and angry. No matter how I see it Lee Dong Wook can't seem to win me over. Dont get me wrong he is very attractive but his acting just flat out sux. I didn't like his acting in My Girl and I dont really like his acting in this drama either. Although it seems he as improved some. The supporting cast is amazing.



The music is nice. I like that "beautiful" song by that guy from JYJ.



I'll probably rewatch this if the ending manages to be a shocker and she lives but i doubt it so.



Overall this drama wasnt what i was expecting but if i wasnt such an impatient person this would be an amazing drama.

Хорошая, но тяжелая драма. Предостаточно романтичного и чувственного, не переходя границ дозволенного корейским телевидением у них получилось создать очень эротические сцены, всего лишь через танец, через танго. Напряжение между гг-ями искрило и притягивало глаз. К месту была и третья сторона, врач, который из простого знакомца вначале, превратился в лучшего друга и безответного влюбленного в Гг. Но тема болезни все делало очень напряженным и тяжелым, очень-очень, прям до скрежета зубовного где-то в 13-14 серии. И стадии прохода через неизлечимую болезнь были показаны хорошо.
Вот поэтому странного какое-то впечатление. Страдающие Гг-и иногда вызывали тоску и мысль "поскорей бы все это закончилось, сколько же можно сыпать соль на рану". вот только врач не раздражал. Kim Sun Ah схуднула к роли, что прям страшно Lee Dong Wook из армии выглядит хорошо и незаматеревши, но по игре иногда повторяет свою роль в "Моей девчонки". Повторюсь - иногда. Этакий молчаливый страдалец/неотразимый ублюдок.
