THE MAY WHERE IT ALL BEGAN....

******contains some spoilers******

An absolutely beautiful story filled with love, family, protests, identity and self-discovery. This moved me to tears in profound ways.

While I was aware of how it was going to end, never did I think that myung hee and hee tae's love story would move me so deeply. A love story that transcends time and space. A relentless and persevering love. A love that births self-discovery. A love that withstands the test of life. Wow!!

Knowing that the political side of this story was based on real-life events was absolutely gut-wrenching. The decisions humans make when given power (a gun) reveals what truly lies within. Kudos to the humans who didn't allow this power to turn them into blood-thirsty and power driven monsters. Reminds me of a powerful scripture in Jeremiah 17:9 - "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick, who can understand it?"

The recognition that the decision between who gets to live and who gets to die being in the hands of God takes the pressure and guilt off of humans and allows us to move on because in reality...there's only so much we can do to keep a person alive. Bad things happen, and when they do, its important to acknowledge how you feel, grieve, and then move on because time will keep flowing and life will carry on as usual without waiting for anyone. This my friend, is part of the package that comes with being human but God (the source of all comfort) is able to comfort us and help us move on while making the tragedies that have occurred work together in a meaningful way that can impact the lives of those around us. Once Hee Tae recognized this, he was able to overcome his anxiety and continue living...long enough to retrieve Myung hee's body and read the vows she never got to read to him on their wedding day

Overall, this drama is a beautifully written story with compelling characters, fantastic OST, beautiful acting and a well-written story! Please give this a watch! You wont regret it...get your teachers ready...you're in for a wild ride!
