Heartwarming Story

I thoroughly enjoyed this series.

Highlights:
- Layered characters that feels more realistic. No one is perfect and everyone have their own flaws, so all their emotions and issues feels more believable to me.
- Very pretty dialogues. There are a lot of good lines in this drama that makes me reflect and I appreciate that.
- Casting is great. Everyone really suit their roles, especially CWS and PBY.
- I really like the way they portray grief and loss in this drama, it's poignant and feels very close to home for me.
- The overall production is pretty good, some of the shots feels more like a movie, so that was pretty interesting to me.
- I really like the ending. The feeling that I get from watching Melo Movie, it's really about the journey of all the characters in navigating life and the romance is just one of the aspects of it. I feel like the ending perfectly captures that because it's showing that life just goes on and not everything needs to be tied together perfectly for the ending, which is such a good resolution for this drama imo.
- I really love Ko Jun's arc, it's so well written and I wish we get more of him.
- There is no overused tropes, it's just so normal in a good way. I really got tired of overused tropes in romance drama like childhood connection, serial killer, etc.. I'm just glad that Melo Movie doesn't have any of that.

I don't have much that I don't like about this drama, maybe just the pacing can be a bit too slow at times so some might find it boring. It's not a big issue to me but I definitely think it could be better. Other than that, I wish we get more of Ko Jun because he's such an interesting character to me.

Overall, it's one of my favourite korean modern romance dramas in recent years. It's really more like slice of life, so if you enjoy that genre, then I think this is one of the better ones.
