I decided to watch this film firstly because it seemed to have both fantasy and drama which are the two genres that I like the most in Korean productions, secondly because of curiosity, I mean, I wanted to know if the woman was going to come back literally from death or just as a ghost. I can say that I was expecting a lot and it didn't let me down.
This film is absolutely gripping from beginning to end. As far as I know this film is based on a novel called "Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu" written by Takuji Ichikawa; I can say that the story is very original since I haven't read/watched something similar before. In my opinion it has a good deal of romance, fantasy, and drama without falling in any cliche, therefore the plot has a totally unexpected twist at the end that will make you think and say "oh, that's why". Moreover this film will also make you go through a lot of feelings such as happiness, sadness and nostalgia.
The characters are very well-developed and the cast is wonderful, in my opinion all the main characters have and excellent chemistry so, this film has both a great story and good actors.
Don't miss it! If you like this genres or alike you will spend such a great time.

Amazing one+ get some tissues to wipe some tears
This movie is a Korean remake of Japanese drama film which is soo heartfelt...This charming tale of a mother who comes back to life a year after her death, with no memory and settles back in with her family, is enhanced by the performances of the big name cast and the newcomers. THE ACTING WAS TOP TIER!!
VERDICT _ I totally loved this movie, your heart will be melted after seeing a affectionate story of father, mother and a child, the friend character is also awesome. AND got some hilarious scenes too...
P.S Cameo of PARK SEO JOON was damn cool !!!

This one freaking hurts!
I didn’t know much about this movie (nor did I want to know) before starting, so I was very very confused initially and really didn’t think I was going to like it. I ended up crying so hard that it gave me an absolute monster of a headache later in the day. This movie is absolutely incredible, and I think it should be watched without much context in order to make the twists and turns more surprising and make the movie an overall more enjoyable ride. I 100% absolutely recommend this, and I can never say this enough. I genuinely don’t have any words to describe how much of a mess this movie left me in (in a wonderful but very sad way ahah)Was this review helpful to you?
fate
today is my birthday, and while scrolling, i noticed this movie on my plan-to-watch list. it felt like fate because just as i was about to write a review, i realized it was released on this exact date, 14 march. that made my day even more special 🥹 even though i will wake up with puffy eyes tomorrow, i have no regrets. it is such a wholesome movie, the love between their family is so lovely and i really love the kid’s acting. please don’t hesitate to watch it and please prepare some tissues 😭😭Was this review helpful to you?
A tale of woman who chose quality over ....
This is a movie which I put on hold for a long time and then in a moment of weakness I went for it ! I can say this is a movie which leaves you with a sense of satisfaction , warmth , a bittersweet after-taste and most importantly a great lesson for priorities in life and the experience to make tough choices.What I LIKED-
Acting of child actor from start to finish esp the scene where he delivers an awesome speech short , precise and meaningful !
All the scenes of the family were outstanding, the side character esp the Uncle was very comic and fulfilling.
What I didn't LIKED-
May be the slow start can put some people off but I think its subjective.
What i really missed was the lead chemistry, it was there but sth was missing , I personally think the director was more concerned with the focus of the story on the family as a whole rather than the leads.
The comeback story was clearly explained at the start but the other part of the story
(spoiler)
her ..seeing the situation was not clearly explained as to why it happened to her.
All an all in a right mood this definitely can take you to places!!

Omg!! I Love it
I cried several times. The story is so beautiful, yet so sad at the same time. I think it's one of the best films I've ever seen. I recommend this to anyone who likes a sweet and sad love story and family life. I also lost my mom almost two years ago, and I think the pain is well reflected, but it has also taught me a lot (I want to keep the post spoiler-free, so I won't explain why).I didn't have suuuch high expectations at first, but it was worth watching the film.
The acting was also very well done. It made the film even more emotional and better.
10/10!!

Sweet sorrow with a twist
This was a beutifull portrayal of love, longing and trying to move on after loosing a loved one,It was abit slow but it hit very close to home so to be honest I found myself looking away and distracting myself more than once. It has allot of sweet, sweet fluff and a very interesting twits att the end of it.
The acting is good the sidecharacters are okey, there are two people who may bring out ones inner anger but it was only one or two scenes so it did not effect the score much. The ending was just beutifull and not only becouse Park Seo Joon played the kid att age 20. But it was just beutifully made,
If you are looking for something cheerfull you shoul look for something else but if you are looing for something beutifull this is deffenetly worth it.

The cast is perfect as well as the music suits the best.
Generally movies remain in our heart which have happy ending or bad ending , but in this case even though it didn't had happy ending but the ending is everything . The plot will seem simple until you reach the ending. It is really well scripted and we'll directed.
-- Overall this movie is very soft and heartwarming which is worthy to watch. ????

Great movie ❤
This is a great movie. Casts did an amazing job. I highly recommend this movie. Initially, I watched this because of Son Ye-Jin, she is a very versatile actress. I have seen her in Crash Landing on You , The Last Princess, etc. I am glad I decided to watch this, the story is just beautiful.Then after watching So Ji-Sub, I consider a great actor, great chemistry. The casts in this movie are great, they made it so enjoyable and at the same time, cry ( a lot).
Kudos to Kim Ji-Hwan, good actor too. This kid made me cry. Worth watching. Loved it!

Love beyond life
I've been looking at some of So Ji Sub's series and movies. As I checked it out, surprisingly he is paired with Son Ye Jin in this movie.The Story:
Rightly categorized as fantasy, as Su A mysteriously came back to life. The story somewhat stemmed from a faith of a child that he will see his mom again. The brief moment of reuniting with her was precious for both father and son. But it is heartbreaking to part with her again. It gives them some time to express their love even for a short moment.
We have questions in life, the what ifs and missing a loved one who passed away in an untimely manner. The movie somehow gave some comfort to the viewer, though I myself do not believe in this kind of comeback especially not having memory of her previous life.
I feel sad that she has to go. In a way, the brief return can be treated like a dream. Life goes on keeping the memories of our loves one in our hearts. The boy grew up, the father didn't remarry, but they are ok, somewhat having a peace in their hearts even in her absence.
The Actors:
1. Ji Sub showed a vulnerable character, someone sensitive as he may be amazed, surprised or dazed at the presence of his late wife, now alive. This is quite different from his other roles who fight for justice and protection.
2. Ye Jin's character is just as sensitive as Ji Sub's, that though she did not have her memories back, chose to stay with them.
3.Ji ho is such a cutie. He portrayed a child with such faith on what his mom told him and really anticipated her return. The kid's excitement might be the reason for the parents' sensitivity.

Perfect movie in one word.
It's the first romantic Korean movie for me to watch I guess! And probably the best romantic movie I've ever watched till now...I thought the romantic Korean movies will be cringe, but I liked the actress since her role in "The negotiation" and I liked the actor I don't remember from which work... All of my doubts went wrong, and the movie was actually great and I could simple give it a 10/10
The movie's scenario is quite unfamiliar, and extraordinary, and the ending had a huge plot twist that I couldn't think of at all, I kept watching this movie for about 3 days... not because it was boring, but because I was excited into watching it that I treated it as a series... I wish it had a series somehow
The movie has also remembered me of a person I used to like and care about, because she looks like the actress a lot either in face or in her character that I can't even tell whether I got these sentiments and went sobbing because of the movie itself or because of this similarity and resemblance! But maybe both?!
The soundtracks are so soothing too just like the events and the scenario itself, and the acting is quite professional and flawless... This movie is quite re-watchable also , I think I will watch it someday, but I've to deal with my past memories first about the girl I like/d :D
Anyway, watch it guys, I totally recommend it for you, and if anyone reads this review - if you've any recommendations, please feel free to add and text me of those recommendations in the same genres as this masterpiece or anything else that comes up to your mind... I like the Korean fans' community the most.
Ah, and you might cry during watching it :D it made me cry in many moments, which is unlike me; it's very touchy...
Thanks
