A kdrama Newbie's review on a newly found masterpiece.
I'm new to kdramaland. Have been watching romantic dramas for a while now but recently joined the website. At first, i was a little dubious to watch this drama since the rating wasn't high and not so many were watching it, but i'm glad i wasn't swayed by that and started watching.
I just finished episode 12 a few minutes ago and my heart is both in pain and joyed with happiness. That's how a masterpiece should be. I couldn't believe myself when i was watching the episodes.
The aesthetics, the cast, the story, everything. How could they plan and execute it all in such beauty?
Story:
Terminal illness and love in times of disease sums it up. As someone who has gone through this route and know the pain, i decided to give in. I fell in love, cried, laughed, imagined myself in Daeum and Jeha 's shoes in these 12 episodes. I got to learn that life is cruel, painful and heartless but there is a thing called love in it. A love so beautiful is depicted that made me wanna fall in love. I Just couldn't control my tears when our beautiful Daeum lost her batttle little by little but get to taste a love so pure. Jeom Yeo Been is a sweetheart with her smiles and her contagious love.
Lee Jeha is a great depiction of a person so traumatized and so emotionally numb that is hard to open up to. but man i was wrong. Nam Koong Min played like an artist and molded Jeha's character to make him one of the most loveable romantic in all history for me.
Cinematography:
I'm not very much experienced in Korean dramas but the scenery were eye candy for me personally. the colors, locations, even Jeha's childhood home and the hospital Daeum stayed in had feelings in it.
Writing:
It's not without fault in my opinion but character development is done at its finest. i didn't mind the second and minor characters much because they were not the main leads but they were also portrayed greatly. even the villains learned their lesson and a deep friendship was formed in the end.
OST:
just wow. MiMi by CIFIKA is amazing. the rest of the songs were just shouting each feelings behind the story. I hope they release the bgm too.
So as my first review, i would love to say that this drama is beautiful. It's not just a drama but a lesson in love and life. thank you to the cast and crew and i hope more dramas like this gem show up for us fans to enjoy.
