THE HEART REMEMBERS WHAT THE MIND FORGETS
I don't understand the hate in this comment section. The ML's condition was set up subtly from their very first conversation so it wasn't like the reveal at the end was pure shock value that want properly build up.Now, I haven't watched the japanese one, cause one Japanese movie was enough to traumatize me for life, so I don't know how it compares but it surely doesn't disappoint.
Everything was perfect. The chemistry between the leads, the cinematography, the entire sequence of the last 30 mins were just.... so dreadful yet so beautiful I wish they extended it for 30 mins more.
It's a good movie if you wanna experience bittersweet love and heartbreak.
Would I rewatch? Hell nah.

K-Drama was so good I felt compelled to write a review
For the sake of my own mental health, I'm never re-watching this show. It's got taboo written all over it, just like moon lovers. The story starts with a beautiful young woman who seduces the men in the village, who's prideful, spoiled, and yet it felt great to see her develop into such a resilient levelheaded woman right before our eyes. It stuck with me, and I enjoyed every aspect of her character.Now, I've noticed on the internet many people were blaming her for not leaving with Jang Hyeon at the end. Have we watched the same show? She undoubtedly had feelings for him but she didn't feel the stability and security she had longed for in a man which was addressed early on in the drama.
Jang Hyeon is flamboyant, has a bad reputation of being a misogamist, and is bouncing everywhere and nowhere all at once. Only us, the audience, are aware of the intensity of his feelings for Gil Chae thus we can't fault her for no trusting in him and choosing to stay with her family instead. She had a steady income and was rebuilding her family from the verge of bankruptcy while shouldering the responsibility of caring for her mentally unwell father. Choosing to stay with them not only shows how far she had come as a character, but also that Jang Hyeon doesn't understand her as much as he had claimed to.
Now, now, don't get me wrong. That man had me giggling and running laps around the house but his love for her was all consuming and at the end, it was borderline selfish. For Gil Chae, he was the only variable in her life while everything else was a constant. It's the reason why she held onto Yeon Jun for so long despite not loving him romantically.
I don't remember the last time I yapped a lot about a K-drama but it's phenomenal. I'm excited to see where their story would head next. (and clutching my pearls in fear.)
P.S the show isn't for the faint hearted, I was subjected to it as a sacrificial lamb by mother dearest to test the angst level. It left me with crippling dread and depression, don't say you weren't warned.

IT DELIVERED WHAT IT PROMISED THE AUDIENCE
now, I don't get the hate. I saw lots of backlash and people saying that it was boring that I almost didn't give it a chance but I'm so glad I did.Typhoon Family isn't a romance drama but it doesn't shy away from that aspect, it showed the romance between the leads in such an authentic natural way it was so refreshing to see and watch it bloom. I loved it so much and the chemistry was insane.
Typhoon Family is a drama to make you cry, laugh, and experience the hurdles and troubles life (more like Pyo and Co) throws your way. It shows that being tenacious will get you a long way.
Watching the cast grow and develop before our eyes was really satisfying as well and it's so relieving to see them have a good ending.
My only complaint is that we don't really know what happened to Hyun-jin after the time skip but overall I really loved the drama and would recommend watching it.
