Melodrama DONE RIGHT

Normally I avoid the Tag "Terminal Illness", or "Tearjerker" like a plague... But I sensed this Melodrama would be different.

And it was. It was a rare one that I enjoyed.

Perfect cast. Just Perfect.

It's not that I would really cry watching:) I mean, everyone was just SO perfect in their role, either perfectly good or perfect villain. Also the cutest looking little girl they could find, I know that little girl of her age would not be capable of such behavior, would not be so adorable to strangers, or would not be capable of saying the stuff she was sometimes able to say. But it was all made so the drama would be the most enjoyable. And enjoyable it was.

Lee Seo Jin was perfect. So handsome, and not too prettyboy-ish, not too young. Uee did a great job, physically she looked both ordinary and attractive enough to be convincing in her role, and she portrayed the illness symptomps great. Her character sometimes cried in self-pitty which is something they usually don't allow for main heroines but I could understand it perfectly. Who would not cry when in pain and fear of dying? Her best friend, the one that had a nail salon, was pretty on the outside, and absolutely beautiful woman on the inside. His best friend, who seemingly was just an employee was also totally adorable & funny. It was all perfect to make it most moving, like still keeping the relationship with mother of your deceased husband... Everything was a melodrama, but melodrama DONE RIGHT.

I appreciated the romance it had, and the moments of happiness, because I agreed: people should be happy even in the worst circumstances. That's what I also appreciated about this drama. It had the best possible ending I've seen in such stories.

I can definitely recommend this "sad story" over many "sweet and happy" ones about young girlies who are all virgins and know nothing about love and loss.
