open ended
when i saw a clip of this drama its seems kinda intriguing. the plot and characters were good. it is a bit realistic and some of it really happens. but as the story goes it is a bit dragging. some parts are too long to watch and some should have had a good explanation :) but the acting is good and the story has its own wave.ended great with an open ended quote so it still a good story but i was thinking if it has a sequel or it has another story again. then again it still anybodys' opinion on how each charaacter went through up until the end...

The brilliance of the drama is the way it surpasses common romance clichés. Rather than offering a simplistic, feel-good romance, it lays bare the raw intricacies of the human heart. Song Seung-heon's performance as Han Tae-sang is nothing short of phenomenal—he turns a reformed gangster into a man redeemed by love.
His inner conflict, marked by his turbulent past and the intensity of his emotions, is portrayed with such candor that it's impossible not to sympathize with his plight and determination.
Similarly, Shin Se-kyung's performance as Seo Mi-do is a mirror to Tae-sang's lost innocence. Her torn personality and volatile temper not only cause some tension but also elicit deep questions regarding trust, betrayal, and the price of vulnerability. While her character is not something that can be described to be relatable to all, her presence is worth it in forcing Tae-sang to face the wounds of his past—and, ultimately, to mature.
Apart from the performances, the technical aspects of the drama are first-rate. From its moody photography—picking up on both the grime of urban existence and the verdant loveliness of locales like Guam—to a haunting soundtrack that echoes the emotional highs and lows of the narrative, no detail is spared. The director's bold vision and the writer's insistence on not succumbing to traditional melodrama make for viewing fare that is as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally provocative. Briefly, When a Man Falls in Love is more than a romance. It is a dramatic exploration of how personal history, sacrifice, and pain converge to shape a man's capacity to love without condition. The drama challenges you to take another look at what it means to truly care for someone— even when the caring involves hurting and making difficult choices.
For those willing to have their hearts opened to its uncompromising depiction of love, this drama will leave its mark on memory long after the last scene fades. Overall, every aspect of the series—from the compelling characters and philosophical storyline to the stunning technical production—earns its place as a modern classic. It's a drama that risks being different, and for that boldness, I award it an outstanding 9.5 out of 10.

החלטות שלוקחים בחיים..
הרבה ביקורות לדעתי החמירו עם הסדרה. סדרה טובה, משחק מעניין, הוא הראשי - מעבר לציפיות, וגם היא שהרבה לא פירגנו לה כאן, אמנם שיחקה בצילו אבל עצם העובדה שכעסו עליה הרבה מבקרים אומר שהיא שיחקה לא רע בכלל. מוסיקה טובה, סיפור מעניין , החלטות שעושים, דרך קבלתן וכמה נותנים לחיים לנווט אותך, זה חלק ממוסר ההשכל שמופיעים כאן.הסוף דוקא נחמד , מחמם את הלב והצירופים והשילובים ודמויות המפתח מתחברות בסוף לסיפור אחר.
נהנהתי מאוד.
