Beautiful love story with wasted potential

The protagonists of this drama were the ones who gave light to the plot.
Jun showed impressive maturity to take care of another person while still a teenager, even though he could've made better decisions and been more honest, he was a wonderful person to those around him.
Rara was a very happy female lead, full of light and life, I loved her positivity and her desire to move forward without getting stuck in the past, she really is very strong.
Regarding their relationship, it's one of the most beautiful couples I've seen in dramas. They developed a love so pure and honest, as they both came into each other's lives at their worst moments, each was the light that helped the other move forward. Jun's love confession "I was all depressed, then one day joy came to me and that was you" and Rara's response "you are the lucky charm that came into my hopeless life, thank you for liking someone like me", they squeezed my heart with their feelings.
I'd love for this to have been the end of everything so I could give this story a higher rating, but unfortunately the final 3 episodes arrived and gave a twist to the wonderful love story that was being built.
One of the first plot twists that added drama to the story was the age difference between Rara and Jun, an issue that we knew they had to resolved at some point in the series, but I never expected them to do it so badly.
They could've had them separate while Jun was completing his studies, do a time jump and finally get them together, but the writers came up with the wonderful idea of giving Jun cancer... and to top it all off, faking his death for 5 years to then give us a 1 minute scene where he magically resurrects and Rara immediately forgives him. In any case, if they had decided to just kill him, it would still have been terrible, cause how do they give hope to Rara's life after the death of her father, and then also take away another loved one? They rushed the ending to try to make it "happy", when they shouldn't have made it so melodramatic from the beginning.
But, despite everything, nothing takes away the happiness that the first 10 chapters of this series gave me.
I must admit that I started watching this drama excited for it being Lee Jaewook's first leading role, who did not disappoint at all, his way of acting is incredible, especially the feelings he conveys with his eyes, he really immerses himself in the characters and I believe every word he says, he's too natural.
Despite everything, I'm glad I watched this drama, cause he made me laugh and bawl my eyes out at different times, and I fell much more in love with Lee Jaewook, so I'm looking forward to watching more of his projects.
