A truly Breathtaking drama.

If you are still wondering whether or not you should spend 24 hours or so of your life watching this drama, wonder no more. Those hours you spend will give you an amazing experience. If my heart had the strength I would rewatch it again already, I would rewatch all the scenes that had taken my breath away. But it seems I have to let my heart rest a bit or I might just have a breakdown haha :D


They had their moments.
And In those moments they loved
harder each and every time
So that when he’s gone
the love will last for a lifetime
As he took a step back
she took a step forward
and She did so with as much passion as his life meant to her
so she went further than he could ever imagine.
Now, she looks back and reminisces
To when they used to walk side by side
And she smiles,
Goodbye...
Surely they will reunite In better times.
Because that is love.
and see you again.

I suppose that was how I interpreted the beautiful love story between the AeSin and Eugene :) With the bittersweet love, it's a definite given that this drama is mesmerizing. For me, I have to say it's the most beautiful drama I've seen. This is something I would watch every year and still cry the same way I did the first time I watched it. The cinematography was worthy of an Oscar-nominated movie, the soundtrack was incredibly befitting, the course of the show was paced nicely, not too slow and not too fast. It was at a pace where you could soak in the warmth and meaning of the show.

All of that combined makes for a stunning drama. Every episode pulls you deeper and deeper into their world. Although many would first see it as a solemn drama, the humor is definitely alive. I often find myself laughing from all the silly shenanigans between the characters which made me quite sad later on as it makes me smile or laugh in the midst of tears.

I found myself falling in love with all the characters, especially the two leads. The characters were truly portrayed as human beings. They were layered and complex, just like us. With that and the amazing acting done by all the cast, it definitely compels you to dive deeper into their characters. The actors brought their characters into life beautifully, they all fit the role so well I can't quite see any other actors or actresses playing these characters.

This drama makes you understand and bond to the characters so much so that At the end you would feel empty without them. You'll find yourself occasionally missing the humor, the bromance between the three male leads, the badassery between the two female leads, and of course the sweet smiles shared between AeSin and Eugene.

The couple was really the sweetest. I don't really know how to describe it with justice but the romance was beautiful. It was enchanting how pure the love was, it's a different kind of love that we see in today's dramas. It was slow and warm, It was a kind of love that didn't demand, it was just giving. but it was also the kind of love that struggled between ideals, nevertheless, It was the kind of love that took pride in the little things. It was the kind of love that would stay for a lifetime. I didn't know love could be filled with so much longing and beauty. It wasn't a love story...it was more like a story of love.?

The show was also quite meaningful, portraying the pains and struggles of the past for a better and freer future in such a raw and true form. I come from a country whose past is filled with stories of struggling like this, I never really cared because you know the past is in the past but because of this drama, I learned to show a little more respect, because of their efforts and their sacrifice I can live a life with privileges.

"Thank you and Goodbye Mr. sunshine, in our independent country, see you again."
This really hit me man, it's like the team was thanking all the characters and the people those characters represented that had gone through so much pain and struggle in the past.


Thank you, director, writers, actors and actresses, the production team and everybody involved in making such a stunning drama, all of you really made me experience a roller coaster of emotions. Thank you.
