I am BIG fan of my sweetheart Kang Dong Won and i will support him in anything he is but why he always breaks my heart?!

Story:
The plot is great and it shows the people that there are such horrible cases as the sickness the main boy had. Our Dong Won played amazing father and he was simply...amazing. I think every kid should have such amazing father as he was. The emotion he showed me..i just couldn't watch it without any tears. The story whole is so beautiful that i have no words for it.

Acting:
Great. All actors did amazing job.

Rewatch value:
Since first time i didn't rewatch it because i don't want to cry but it's too beautiful so i will rewatch it rght now :)

If you haven't cried in awhile or have some pent up emotion and need a little release, I recommend watching it. The story-line itself isn't anything super new or original but that doesn't mean the film wasn't refreshing in it's own way. The cast was great, amazing even. Almost anyone in my opinion can cry or say a couple lines in a 'sad' tone for their scenes and still have it come out lackluster or uninspired. I've seen way too many movies where I just feel like I'm sitting through a script reading. These actors/actresses gave their all and as a viewer, you could really tell. It wasn't perfect and there were some parts that I personally would of removed but overall it was beautiful movie about family, friendship and death.

Touching, family drama. A young couple falls pregnant aged 17 & have a son with a terminal illness. The film takes place with the son as a 16-year-old, recounting how his parents met & coming to terms with his fate. Very sentimental & sad but beautiful in a way too. I don't normally watch these types of depressing films & I was very hesitant to watch this but there is a lot of humour in this film, I actually laughed out loud quite a few times, so don't be put off if this isn't the type of thing you'd normally watch.

Watch this for the MDL challenge. It’s an amazing movie about a very resilient teenager and his incredible parents.

Born with a rare genetic disorder, 17-year-old A Reum ages far faster than everyone else. Though he is only a teenager, his body resembles that of an 80-year-old man. Knowing that his time is limited, he prepares a special gift for his young parents, who have raised him with unconditional love.

This time, MDL’s summary truly hits the point, so I won’t add any unnecessary details.

This beautiful movie shows us what unconditional love really means. Ah-reum’s parents, Mi-ra and Dae-su, had him when they were just 17 themselves—teenagers facing an unexpected pregnancy. But instead of walking away, Dae-su stepped up. They got married and built a life together—choosing family from the very beginning, standing together through everything.

Unlike 18 Again, where at one point the father—intentionally or not—blames the mother for “ruining” his life, Dae Su never once blames Mi Ra for her teenage pregnancy. Not even with A Reum’s condition, their family remains grateful—and finds joy in simply being together..

And Ah-reum? He’s not just a sick child in a story. He’s a real teenager—with dreams, humor, and quiet strength. He may carry the body of an elder, but his heart is young. You can see it in his eyes: moments of longing when he watches kids his age play, laugh, and grow. It’s natural to feel jealous. But he never resents his parents. Never causes pain. I really admire his resilience towards what life throws at him.

If you’re looking for a film that reminds you to be grateful—if you want something that touches your heart without manipulation or melodrama—this is a perfect choice. Highly recommend it.

Heartwarming, touching, incredible movie. Seriously this movie is like one of the best. Song Hye Kyo is as awesome as ever, and this was the first Kang Dong Won project I saw. I recommend this movie to everyone who haven't watch it!

« My Brillant Life » est un film incroyablement touchant. Triste, tout en réchauffant aussi le cœur par moment, ce film ne peut laisser indifférent. Mais ce que j’ai particulièrement aimé, à propos de celui-ci, est d’apprendre à connaître la Progéria. J’apprécie toujours quand les maladies plus rares (et dont souvent peu connus) sont présentées au public et expliqué. Je sais ce que c’est que de voir un proche en souffrir et surtout de voir comment les gens peuvent réagir face à tout ça. Une autre chose qui fut explorée ici, et que j’ai adoré ! Avec des acteurs incroyablement doués, une histoire intéressante et émotionnelle, qui nous en apprend beaucoup sur un sujet peu connu, je ne peux que recommander de regarder ce film au moins une fois !

É melhor do que a sinopse dá a entender

Mano, indo apenas pela sinopse a gente não coloca muita fé, mas no decorrer é impossível não se atrair pelo que nos está sendo contado.

Sim, chorei, foi emocionante e comovente a trajetória dessa família, os lamentos da menino por não poder nem frequentar uma escola devido a todos os problemas de saúde, e os pais por já esperar um final inevitável tão cedo.

Os atores entregaram muito, acho meio difícil não sentir as emoções que eles sentiram ou pelo menos ter um certo nível de envolvimento.

Extraordinário! Perfeito.

09/09/2018. Se eu pudesse descrever esse filme em uma palavra, seria ''extraordinário''. Eu posso dizer que eu nunca chorei tanto em um filme. Essa história me pegou de um jeito que eu realmente não imagina, quando li a sinopse fiquei meio em dúvida, mas não me arrependo nenhum pouco de ter assistido. Esse roteiro, esses atores, esse ator que foi o Jo Sung Mok, a Song Hye Kyo e o Kang Dong Won, eles conseguiram transparecer a dor deles de estar vivendo essa fase difícil que é ter algum ente querido doente e sentir mais do que tudo quando chega a hora. Esse filme vai para lista dos meus preferidos com toda certeza. 10/10. Eu só tenho a agradecer aos escritos, diretores, a produção e tudo que fez esse filme, pois me ajudou a abrir meus ''olhos'' e me lembrar que eu tenho vários momentos preciosos com as pessoas que eu gosto e eu não deveria desperdiçar isso. Obrigada!
