Once again, I was recommended this drama via a drama fan account on instagram, originally thinking that this was a drama series, but later found out that it was a movie included on Amazon Prime. Thank you, Amazon.
I've been recently into drama movies - they are quick and to the point and I don't need to binge watch a ton of episodes for the characters to finally stop acting super annoying and potentially fall in love. But I have realized after watching this movie that even though it does take maybe 7 episodes at 45 minutes a pop, I do enjoy the slow burning romance. I enjoyed everything about this movie, BUT I felt like, at least in the beginning, that I didn't believe in their romance. I believed in the main girl, that she gradually started to feel something towards the firefighter after he had saved her life, cute scene btw. But I didn't believe homeboy - he went from "I hate everyone and everything especially her" and "I am going to imagine homegirl as my dead wife in different situations" to "I really want to snuggle with her HARD and whisper sweets things about our future in her ear."
But I also feel like it added to the ending - their big fight was inevitable because I didn't feel much character change happened with them and they were so different. I am actually quite confused about how Kang-il went through any character change - it flew over my head completely, but everything hit Mi-Soo all at once with that intense hospital scene as well as finding out her illness. I really liked how after everything happened, she was able to confess everything without needing a response. She just wanted to say what she needed to say without any regrets. She pulled a complete 180 for me - I really didn't like her character in the beginning, but once she was able to step in someone else's shoes and that her actions effect others, she realized what she needed to do. The ending felt real though; you couldn't deny their connection with one another compared to the first time.
Plus, besides the romance, this movie was shot so well and because of their professions, him a firefighter and her a surgeon/paramedic, we got to see two different forms of intense situations which I loved deeply. It might be normal in these type of dramas or movies, but this is all new to me, and I loved everything about. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about in this drama was how irritating they both were in the beginning as if they have always acted that way and people never confronted them about it as well as how fast they got into their relationship the first time, at least on his end. It was like hot and cold for him. I know she liked him and went in full force, but for someone to grieve their dead wife and then hate to like someone almost seemed like he was using her in a way.
