A thoughtful and emotionally stirring meditation on what it means to love someone. This dug deep comparing and contrasting love as an uncontrollable feeling vs love as a series of deliberate choices and actions. The characters are all good people trying so hard to do the right thing, tying themselves into knots trying to honor their expectations of and obligations to each other in extremely trying circumstances. It really succeeded at making me feel for the characters and I longed for them to be able to come out of the other side of all the angst and pain with some measure of happiness or at least peace. The pacing is slow as molasses, I think it would have been better if we had seen more of the lead couple's courtship before the accident and resulting coma, but it was still a worthwhile watch for how well it wrestled with its central moral dilemma and for how strong Jung Ryeo Won and Kim So Yeon's performances were.
