Don't be put off watching
May 2025
This is a really very poignant drama, beautifully acted by its young cast.
Kim Min-ha is not your typical K-drama FL, and neither was her character. Gong Myung's character was her polar opposite, but they clicked over time. He fell for her no-nonsense attitude, and often bare faced cheek! She dragged him, inwardly kicking and screaming, out of himself.
I can't say much, without giving away even more than has been in the synopsis, which makes a review slightly difficult.
It might seem sad and melancholic on the surface, and yes, there are some very sad and painful moments, however, overall, it is a surprisingly uplifting and positive watch.
I did cry, I certainly felt for the characters, and the message I took from it, that life is precious, and even when we lose loved ones, we should seek support, and live on; for them, too.
The impact of being stuck in the past and not being willing to let it go, and of the effects depression has on family, on life, and simply trying to navigate day-to-day living, is very well interpreted.
I would like to have had a bit more about Ko Yeong Hyeon, who befriended Hui-wan in College. There was more to her character, but it wasn't fully revealed.
I would recommend this; it isn't long, and the episodes flew by for me. I didn't feel miserable at the end, either!
