This could have been a tear-jerking drama, but true love transcends the emotional impact of terminal illness.
I was initially hesitant to watch this drama because it was reminiscent of A Litre of Tears, both series deal with degenerative diseases that gradually impair patients' abilities to walk, talk, write, and eat. However, after watching the first episode, I found the romance in this series to be captivating.
**Warning: Spoilers Ahead**
The show opens with graduates attending a job fair, fully aware that their chances of securing a full-time position are slim. During one interview, the FL's phone rang, causing her embarrassment. However, the man sitting next to her stood up, apologized to the interviewers for the interruption, and promptly turned off his phone. This moment serves as the catalyst for the protagonists to connect. Eventually, ML secures a job at a furniture company, while FL continues to work part-time at a restaurant.
If I hadn't read the synopsis, I would have thought I was watching a romantic comedy series due to the antics of the second couple. For instance, when he asked her how much taller she was than him, he received a slap. On another occasion, he begged for a one-night stand, only to be struck with her handbag. When he expressed his desire to be her boyfriend, she declined but permitted him to have a one-night stand. At the love hotel, both of them pulled out a book about sex, as they lacked any sexual experience.
The first half of the story focuses on the protagonists' love affair. However, when ML is diagnosed with an incurable disease, he decides to break up with FL, understanding that their future together is bleak. He chooses not to disclose his illness to her, as he wants to avoid eliciting her sympathy and complicating their separation.
Later, FL became a caretaker nurse and started a new relationship. While attending to her patient, she unexpectedly encountered ML again, who was now in a wheelchair. It was then that she realized the reason for their breakup. To make matters worse, all of their mutual friends, including her current boyfriend, were aware of ML’s condition, but she was not.
We should not judge her decision to leave her current boyfriend in order to care for ML.
Unfortunately, there are no English subtitles for the final episode, but a picture is worth a thousand words. The main couple has a wedding photo, and the final scene is very heartwarming as they enjoy a fun day at the beach.
