Well!Before UF's broadcast I expected it to be a feel-good romcom or something like that..Aigoo little did I know.As soon as the first episode started I realized-in the plainest way possible,cough cough-that it wasn't what I had signed up for lol As soon as it ended though,I realized that I wanted to..re-sign up for it and I never regret it.Now,I'm not going to analyze/criticize the script,plot or the characters because one has to see for themselves,I'm only going to give you a general idea.UF is a simplistic slow-paced melodrama,combining a tragic doomed love story with family drama,which destroys you emotionally from start to finish,and gives you a couple of lessons on human nature.The last two episodes were just the cherry on top as you can't help but cry your heart out non-stop.But exactly in that UF's..beauty lies.All the constant sadness,tears and heartbreak that this drama offers you..in huge amounts make it beautiful and precious.Even its light and cute moments are bittersweet.The sadness is present all the time even low key.Despite all that,peeps shouldn't be scared or biased to watch UF because it's a journey that is totally worth it.Sure,it's not the best k-drama out there,but the sadness it makes you feel is addicting as odd or absurd as this may sound.On the acting front: All the actors did a very good job but I feel like saying a few words about Suzy and Kim Woo Bin in particular.Suzy's acting was very decent even though she came off as somewhat annoying in the scenes where she was drunk and in the scenes where she was yelling.Fortunately,she delivered her emotional scenes pretty well.To be honest,I had no issues with her acting whatsoever.As for Kim Woo Bin..He was actually Joon Young,wasn't he?I mean,by the end of the series I felt like it was not a fictional character that left us but an actual person.I believe that says it all.Throughout the series his character's sorrow,pain and angst were written all over his face even when he was smiling or when he had happy moments or when he was hiding the truth or when he was pretending to be okay and calm ; his eyes,smile and the tone of his voice would always give him away.You could feel what he was feeling,you couldn't help but sympathize with him and love him.A special mention to his acting in the finale because it was amazing,so hearfelt and realistic.Kudos to Woo Bin for bringing Joon Young to life.On the music front: I believe UF has one of the best if not the best soundtrack I've ever heard in a k-drama.All the songs were very fitting to the whole concept.Also: The cinematography and the locations/landscapes were amazing and the grey cold weather added up to UF's..heaviness.Rewatch value: Well,I never re-watch dramas ;) All in all,I 100% recommend UF if melodramas is your cup of tea or even if they aren't but still you want to experience a melodrama.Btw,I'm not a big fan of melodramas myself :p UF made me feel things,that's why I liked it so much.So..Farewell,Uncontrollably Fond,thank you for the FEELS!
