Nice melo movie
The OST was one of the best I've heard. In other dramas, one or two songs might stand out, but I liked every, single song and the music really stood out, rather than being unnoticeable in the background.
The story started as a sweet love story with some stumbling blocks, and I liked it even as it was at that point. Park Bo Young and Choi Woo Shik are each adorable on their own and even better together. The casting of the child actors was on point, as the children really resembled their adult counterparts.
Then, the story went deeper into the characters' pasts and we got to see them work through some of the issues that had burdened them for years. Ko Gyeom's relationship with his brother, Jun, was the most poignant, especially that last scene of theirs when Ko Gyeom was drinking Jun's bottle of liquor left behind at the bar. Their interaction here was perfect. Right behind that was the realization Kim Mubee finally had about her father and, moreover, her mother.
The second couple's story, while fine, was not really needed. There were some life lessons and goals attained, but I think too much time was spent on their relationship. *Spoiler alert* - I was happy that the producers had them move on in the end, rather than trying to tie everyone's stories into happily ever after packages. This allowed the characters to develop and grow independently of one another.
Finally, Ko Gyeom's philosophy after wishing the years away that every moment he experiences makes his life last longer, so now he is going to live every moment to the fullest. This just had a satisfying feeling.
