This is a short, sweet, poetic, heart breaking drama. At times, I did wish it had more episodes but looking back, it might have ruined the story by giving in too many details.
I started watching this because of Shin Hye sun but what drawn me more to the story is the fact that it was based on a true story. I have no idea why, but I do love me some tragic stories from time to time. I just find it so hauntingly beautiful.
I think the casting for this drama was 10/10. I really love Shin Hye Sun, she can pull off anything. Never imagined her to be with LJS but in all fairness, they look good together.
Aside from the story and actors in this drama one thing I did really like was how poetic it was. The ending poem is what struck me the most, it goes something like this:
"Are you truly living?
No, I am yearning for death in order to truly live."
From the poem
The Theory of Death and Life, 4 May 1926
I guess its because of all the things happening to us every day, we usually forget to live life. We over think a lot and that makes us miss on important things in life, and that's just sad if you really do think about it.
