Absolutely broke me- Love with a time limit
The script is so beautifully written. I don't think I can find the words to describe the heartbreak I felt.Some part of me kept hoping to the very end that they wouldn't die, even after he got the surgery I kept praying that he would live longer, but this movie really made me face reality.
I have to give it to the actors, their talent and hard work made the whole experience so much more realistic. You could see the depth of their realities in their eyes, considering the fact that their reality is death. They did an amazing job portraying the sadness, desperation, willpower, and their fight for their lives.
The story itself is beautiful and I find a sense of beauty in this sadness. Regardless of how distraught I felt from the pure sadness this movie presented to me, I would rewatch it. This is also mainly due to the cinematography. It held the most weight in setting the scene and everything fell into place accordingly. Everything just felt right. Also amidst the very depressing loss of our leads lives, the cinematography proved to provide a sense of comfort because that is also exactly what the producers were trying to do (I believe). They were trying to show us viewers the beauty there is in finding solace in people even when we see the end of the road. It also showed how precious life really is and what truly matters when we live on this earth.
There is so much more I feel I could say with all the symbolism and pure emotions we were presented with.
DEFINITELY WORTH THE WATCH!!

WORTH YOUR TIME!!!
One thing that genuinely surprised me about this show was the production. My first bl was KinnPorsche, so I came in with high expectations. And I'll tell you that I wasn't disappointed in the least. The production quality was very fine, and even though it felt childish at first, it developed into something of profound meaning to me. They also touched topics of having a good work ethic, trauma, abuse in relationship, rape, sexual assault, and feelings of depression. I liked this part of the drama a lot. I would say it changed my insight on some things. DEFENITELY GIVE IT A WATCH.The characters are lovable, and if I downed the show to one word: worthwhile.

It's a good watch and heartwarming
This is my first review and I felt the need to write this. I personally really really loved this show, especially up to episode eleven. I think I felt mostly frustrated when Ji-Hyuk's ex-fiancé came into the picture. I felt like it was unnecessary and done to fill the 16 episodes. Otherwise, this show was really good.Kang Ji Won: Her character went through immense character development and I personally love seeing that. It was nice to see her fully utilize her second chance at life fully. The only time I found her slightly annoying was when she refused to believe Ji-Hyuk when he said he wasn't having an affair (due to the presence of his ex-fiancé). Otherwise, her character is not feeble, and she takes action to make changes. I also like that she is the director of a foundation that gives people second chances. I like that the directors didn't end the story with her getting married to Ji Hyuk like that was her only purpose. Besides her willful nature allowed her to prevail against her ex-bf and ex-bf (LMAOOOO BOYFIRNED AND BEST FRIEND).
and talking about those two characters....... LORD DID THEY PISS ME OFF!!!????
Jeong Su-min: The worst character I've come across in a solid while. Like her character was done so well that I would forget she wasn't real and seriously wanted to pull her hair out. Like kudos to her for playing the character so well too. Number one visible factor about her that pissed me off was her smile. LIKE GIRL WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR EYE? Number two, she is the most entitled character I've ever come across. How was she so single-minded? All she saw was herself and her greed was immense. She was manipulative, destructive, violent, aggressive, ridiculous, selfish, harmful, and just unreal. Because I can't imagine an actual human being being ALL of that. And murder on top of it too. Good God saying I hated her is the least of it. Also, her saying her reason for hating Ji-won was because she always seemed happy and started blaming Ji-won for the way she(Su-min) was acting. I just think she was nature evil relative to nurture evil, for a 14-year-old to think that way. She was gradually losing control of her sanity and she actually loses it toward the end.
Park Min-Hwan: LORD HES ACTUAL TRASH!!!! HE TRIED TO GET WITH EVERYONE AND ANYONE. HIS EGO WAS HIGH ABOVE IN THE SKIES. AND HE WAS SEXIST. He really was a pile of trash. His character just progressively got worse. He was an abuser and I really want to blame his mom for half of the reason why he turned out the way he did. He was also another entitled character who was just so hard to shake off. I believe that his mom had a big role as to why he is the way he is- A big man baby. I don't understand why he could never wipe his ass after a dump. Like you have to pick up after yourself. But like Su-min he was single-minded and his immediate solution to everything only harmed other people. There are many ways to do things without harming the people around you. He felt entitled to his own life more than Su-min did, but was more than ready to harm others and he also couldn't hold another human life as valuable as he did his. I could keep going actually but I'd be ranting.
Yu Ji-Hyuk: MY MAN!!!!! ????God was he such a green flag. I just love him so much. He was so ready to sacrifice anything and everything for Ji-Won. AND OMG HE HARBORED A CRUSH ON HER FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS (in their first life). He was a major support system to Ji-Won who was given a second chance. Like she became a support system for others in the future with the foundation, he was that to her. And I think it would have been entirely impossible for her to reach where she was without him, not to say that she is incapable, but together they both bettered each other. He allowed her to do everything she wanted (except for the proposal?) and he was there for her through and through. I think it would be nice to have such reassurance always. And I'm just so happy that she met him. "I want to be land for you" I think it's so lovely that he came into her life and supported her. I just love his character sm.
Oh Yu Ra: she was just annoying. Hated seeing her. pissed me off sm.
The two parents (Ji Won's mom and Su Min's dad): just crappy characters, money greedy and blind to everything but themselves- even their own kids.
Ji Won's dad: What an Angel bro ?????. I'm so sad he didn't get to Ji Won happy but he was the hero of the day. I can't imagine being so loved because he truly loves Ji Won. I'm not quoting him per se but him talking about how sometimes a different path might be better and you might still reach your destination- I will forever remember it, so I'm grateful to his character.
The other characters: Hui Yeon, Eun Ho, The secretary (i forgot his name), Miss Yang, the grandpa, and the cat!!!- just love them all sm.
Overall this drama is such a good watch. I recommend ?
