Could be better
The drama is genuinely beautiful in terms of its premise, but the screenplay felt a bit lost. After finishing it, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing—I just wasn't convinced by the female lead's love for the ML. There was no real build-up to justify such a deep, intense love .
On the other hand, the male lead's actions and reactions felt extremely logical and realistic to me. I honestly don't understand why the final episodes tried to paint him as the selfish one. Anyone who has never been through a severe illness has no idea how much it changes a person. Illness strips away all logic; it slowly kills the spirit piece by piece. He was labeled "selfish" just because he wanted to survive and fight his illness without having to deal with her childish nonsense—let alone shouldering the toxic baggage of her family and her unhinged brother. Let's be real: here is a guy who suffered through immense hardship at a young age and is still suffering, yet he's expected to put up with her immaturity on top of everything else?
She entered the relationship wanting a teenage, novel-like romance, whereas he needed a mature, understanding relationship—one that could offer him a bit of peace and love to soothe the physical pain of his illness, not something that added to his psychological burden. He was rational and self-aware enough to foresee how the relationship would end, which is why he resisted it in the first place—not out of hatred, but out of self-preservation. But she insisted, acting like a child who only wants a toy simply because it's forbidden. Her persistence felt less like genuine love and more like being driven by the "forbidden fruit" effect.
Her dynamic with the professor, by comparison, made much more sense. His love for her felt clear, believable, and grounded in actual communication and shared substance. But her connection with the ML lacked that depth—I just couldn't feel it. Even when she joined the team, her behavior around him felt so childish that she came across as the burden, not him.
The final episodes felt bizarre and rushed, almost like a poorly cobbled-together afterthought. The push-and-pull dynamic—first he wants her back and she doesn't, then suddenly it's the other way around—felt unconvincing.
Overall, the drama is beautiful on a human and emotional level, but as a romance between the two leads, I simply didn't buy it.
