There are so many beautiful portrayals of stars in this drama that I think I may fall in to tears the next time I look at the sky. As I honestly can not remember crying this much during a drama since 1 litre tears. So obviously this is a drama that made me feel stuff, stuff I didn't even know I had in me. So even if the drama was not perfect, and made me a bit uncertain how to feel about certain parts of the drama such as he dragging out the depressed to make them do stuff thing . And there may be some parts that are made a bit to simple but the way our female lead was not cured by a week of fun upped the score a bit. Basically I guess it got to me.

The subject of loss, guilt, depression and suicide are never easy and I could not tell if it was the moments of smiles, humour and happiness that made me cry more or the way the female lead conveys her emotions (or lack of emotions) so well. The contrast between the cheerful teen and the numb adult hit really hard, so did her different interactions with her friends form the past and those who tried to save her.

This show dares to show men who are both are vulnerable, introverted, bubbly, sporty... nerdy. there is a show of deep friendships, sweet smiles, flirting, jealousy, I guess Life and then cut to how a persons death can affect so many of these relationships, And does it without shaming our highly depressed female lead. It also offers some of this years most powerful lines.

"It's not that I was busy I just struggle with enjoying things by myself "


"I can't imagine in how much pain you are in"



There is also a slight hint of LGBTQ+ rep in this that could make for a nice sequel of life goes on...

Definitely a drama I recommend just make sure to have tissues.

P.s the male lead and his friend are extremely charming with smiles that can melt anyones heart
