WOW. A short but emotional watch. Will make you feel things and think about what it means to live within the span of 3 hours.

Backdrop of 1920's Japanese-occupied Joseon. A couple that cannot be together. Beautiful and mature acting by Lee Jong Suk and Shin Hye Sun. Can't believe this was made in the same year as 30 but 17 lol -- she feels so different there.

The soundtrack is melodic and really adds to the storytelling. The cinematography also handled important moments in an elegant and meaningful way. I would recommend this to anyone who has 3 hours to spare and wants some feels.

PS: Just found out after watching the full drama that it's a true story, up to the very last moment. It makes my heart break even more :(
