Bittersweet as life. Must watch.
I still not sure if I loved it or if it made me miserable. It's as bittersweet as life itself.I cried at every chapter, not just out of sadness but also because it makes me appreciate life. It was my first Uee's drama and I loved her all the way. I didn't watch any Lee Seo Jin dramas before and I loved him too, as well as the rest of the cast.
Without spoiling anything you can expect all the kdramas clichés in here. Acting is what makes this series incredible.
I don't think is a drama to rewatch. I'm 100% sure I don't want to put myself through this again. But I won't forget it.

Sad but moving, great character development
Just finished watching this movie for the second time. I find out certain films just pull me back to wanting to watch them again, and I like this even more on the second viewing.I like the development of the male lead character after he meets the female lead. It’s clear from the early episodes that it’s going to be very sad, but I still enjoyed the manner which the drama moved forward. I also liked many of the secondary characters, although I would’ve liked to have known more about them. Someway I’m not sure why I really like this so much but after first viewing it six or eight months ago, I kept thinking about it and wanted to return to watch it one more time.

beautiful bittersweet drama
This drama was quite the build up to then pull at your heartstrings. it begins with a typical premise interaction between a chaebol and a down on her luck heroine. However, in this case, they really give her a bag of lemons that just won’t make a satisfactory pitcher of lemonade to give her the fairytale ending.Don’t want to spoil too much other than once they get you in the cathartic state of emotional upheaval and the tears start coming down, they do not let up. the light tones they add in between the heavy hearted moments just adds to it (at least for me) and made me bawl all the more.
as I got to the final minutes I was hoping for some crazy deux ex machine moment to save the day but no such luck. It closes with a somewhat open ended ending but you know what is really going to happen and the creative team decided to have some mercy on us and leave it at that.
Anyways, I definitely recommend it if you’re fine with something that isn’t quite light hearted and are ok leaving a little sadder and introspective than when you came.

Amazing acting by Uee, but regresses near the end
Little girl so cute!I appreciate the fact that the single mother in the story actually has to take care of the kid, and it's a big part of the story. I appreciated that a lot. How she makes time for parenting. Having a kid is complicated! Most drama stories (and it's not contained to kdrama here) take parenthood as this thing that is kind of there in the background, but in reality kids become the new center of your reality, they can't be hand-waved away so easily.
So yeah, the kid in this drama is important, which is nice, but not just as a human being but also as a responsibility. The adults have to make time around the kid, not the other way around.
The victim blaming coming from the guy was definitely not something I expected though, and it soured the whole thing.
Overall, due to its ability to dodge frequent tropes, I would say this show was still decent, but it loses steam by the end.

Drama or trauma
O boy I wish I read summary of this story before watching to prepare. I started it thinking it's romcom and yikes, boxes of tissues are now empty just like my soul. Except for bawling my eyes out it was a decent watch. But one thing I can't understand is stupidity of FL when she was sick. Why the heck did she try to cook all the time when she was falling down and not able to control her arm? ... and with a child in a room. At one point I was like, ok just burn that house and get it over with lol... but we would have 4 episodes less to watch then. AigoWas this review helpful to you?

first of all i've to admit that Uee acting become better
really she improved her performance
the only thing that made me complete it is ( Lee Seo Jin) i adored his role in this drama
and Ahn Ji Hoon his acting was really good
Ahn JI & Lee Seo Jin first time for me to watch both of them , really nice and cute actors,
this drama is a new idea for marring by contract
it is nice but v.slow motion sometimes i got bored cause there is no new events in it
& some times some events wasn't logical for me
but it has heartwarming moments
about the family in this drama u can just describe it by FAMILY OF B****
the character of his ex provoked me so,
she is acting as if love should be by force she hasn't nor dignity neither pride
many times i want to pull her out of the screen & give her strong swipe -_-
his brother is so grubby
his father is heartless , awful & tough
his step mom is such an animal she is acting as if she is doing him a favor or beneficence for raising him
(i am happy for what had happened to all of them (evil laugh) ^_^) but not satisfied
i really felt with sorrow for lee seo in this drama i want to give him a huge solacing hug for this dirty family :(

O drama é tão morno e sem sal que foi incrível eu ter conseguido terminá-lo. O roteiro é fraco e a atuação da Uee não convence em momento algum. Este é o quarto drama que assisto com ela e posso dizer que não gosto da atuação dela. Ela não transmite emoção, não consegue se expressar está sempre com semblante fechado, ela é muito sem graça e nunca tem química com seus parceiros. Não sei porque insistem em colocá-la em dramas onde ela precisa contracenar como um casal, não sei se ela é casada ou simplesmente não gosta dos atores com quem contracena mas ela é muito séria e não convence em cenas "românticas" onde exige um pouco mais de contato físico.
Voltando ao drama... a história não cresce, fica na mesma a história toda. Sim, eu sei que não é uma história feliz, mas já vi muitos filmes com esta mesma premissa que foram realmente dramáticos e nenhum foi tão morno como este. Um drama sem emoção, com protagonistas fracos e com uma história extremamente parada, este drama não era para mim.
Enfim, não vou me prolongar mais pois este drama realmente não compensa uma longa resenha.

Foi Difícil Escrever
Sabemos que vamos morrer a qualquer momento, mas ter certeza é bem diferente.Mesmo lendo a sinopse é difícil assimilar que a temática apresentada era esta, porque a personagem principal ( Uee) vive um estado de leveza e bolha total.
Quando vi o drama a um tempo atrás achei que a personagem não esta certa e que talvez a escolha de elenco tivesse sido errada...porém tive vivência em situações que pude ter a certeza que houve um estudo de personagem pesada para o papel. Começa já com a mulher sendo recentemente viúva com uma filha pequena que ela preserva na mais pura infância ( esta certa , criança tem que viver mundinho delas) e ela tenta lidar com as pancadas da vida como se tivesse numa bolha invisível onde o vento sopra ela é levada.
Não havia mais nada a ser feito em toda essa situação, ate quando chega o diagnostico critico...o que se fazer, se não viver cada dia e organizar o futuro de quem fica.
E uma estória de oportunidade única, onde o foco é se jogar de cabeça e viver os últimos momentos com alguém.
Imagina quantas pessoas tem seus diagnósticos mas não tem ninguém para se apoiar...esse pode ser o conto de fadas da dramalandia sem dúvidas nessa categoria.
Porque mostra muito a situações antes da morte e tudo que se vive antes do fim e toda a incerteza.
O protagonista masculino poderia ter sido mais autêntico? Eu realmente não sei se seria possível...ele era bem problemático antes de conhecer a mulher...e com tudo que ele ia ser envolvido...posso dizer que mostrar o lado atônito masculino e fragilidades foi bom.
Em partes o tema morte é pesado. E significa o fim .
Por mais que algumas culturas tentam prolongar a morte ou coloca lá como algo bonito..para quem fica, a morte é como um corte à seco de fim de história, imagina estar na posição de jovem, mãe , viúva e por sua vez morrendo ( mas antes disto sofrendo dores estruciantes) e inimaginável para gente se por na dor do outro (e o lugar mais difícil de se estar).
Esse drama fica marcado para mim como estória útil e não irei supera lo tao cedo.

Ho versato lacrime in ogni singolo episodio, ma sono riuscita ad arrivare alla fine. Non so se farò mai un rewatch perché è comunque un drama un po triste ma lo consiglio a chi cerca una storia romantica, di speranza e di rivincita.
