They grabbed the essence of love, family and they also grabbed my heart
A drama that has to be watched. A drama that cures your depression. Makes you emotional, makes you cry, makes you laugh, makes you appreciate. I haven't been this moved by a drama for a WHILE. And I watch a lot, like a lot. This is everything I have ever asked for.
This was a happy accident. I am so glad I decided to give it another shot! I remember watching the first ep but dropping it after 30 mins. But holy shit.
I swear, it's so good, way better than many popular dramas, with those popular actors and that high budget and CG. Kdramas tend to go too extreme with drama and tragedies and it's not like those shows are bad, it's just that I can't seem to cry or feel empathy. But I cried rivers watching this, especially those last episodes. Those moments were heart-wrenching but heart-warming the same time. It tears you apart in a good way. Ma Jin Joo's scenes with her mother just killed me, and when that damned bucket list reveal came. I couldn't even blink and I was already sobbing. This show has managed to keep everything in order, it didn't annoy, it didn't drag, it did everything RIGHT! I loved how they slowly revealed Jin Joos and Ban Dos love story and their struggles, the burdens they have to bear, the obstacles they had to overcome. One of the unexpected highlights were definitely Jin Joo's mom and her story. It was oddly relatable and so heart-warming and sweet. I have to give it to the main actors though, they were excellent and perfectly choosen.
And holy shit? The ending was done so nicely and neatly, writers! Please learn from this! The side-characters were all so lovely as well, I loved that they all had their closures.
What makes this show different from others, is that they make you emotional, but the real emotional. Even though the scene itself may seem like many others you've watched, it just feels realer, sadder, it grabs your heart. I dont know why or how, but it certainly moved me. A LOT. I haven't felt like this for a long time. A bit alive maybe? It wasn't just about marriage and divorce, it was about life and love, about mistakes and circumstances one cannot control, it was about youth and growth, it was about humans.
Thank you for creating such a wonderful experience. Teaching us many life lessons and for making us realise how precious time, our family and loved ones are.
