A beautiful story, start to finish

I just finished this drama last night. I had been putting it off since I first started my foray into K dramas about a year ago after hearing of how devastating the ending was. I want to just say that the show absolutely lives up to the hype. This is one of those dramas where after the end your left both full and empty at the same time because you don’t know what you’re going to do to fill that gap in your life that the show occupied. It was a beautiful, poignant coming of age story about life, going after your dreams, falling in love for the first time, and having your heart broken. While the ending was not your typical K drama ending, it was absolutely something we were prepared for from episode one and an ending that I believe to be the most fitting and satisfying. I would say that it absolutely was still a happy ending, despite what other people have said. Besides, I don’t really believe that the romance between the two leads was the main focus of the show anyway. I don’t regret waiting as long as I did to watch the show, because I think that this is not an ending I would have appreciated as much 8-12 months ago as much as I do now. With all of that said, I absolutely recommend giving the show a try to anyone who is on the fence. I was hooked from start to finish!

P.S. One of the most impressive aspects of this series, however, is its remarkable OST. This show probably has the best OST of any that I have ever seen
