Worth every single tear I shed for it!!!
Hopeful, beautiful, painful, heartwarming, classic, and real—no single word encapsulates the experience of this drama. Knowing the ending didn't diminish my resolve to dive in; in fact, I'm grateful I did. From the storytelling to the directing, the acting, the dialogue, the characters, the cinematography, and the OSTs, everything screams cinema!
This melodramatic story follows a terminally ill girl who pursues her dream of becoming an actress. She crosses paths with a once-famous director on hiatus. Together, they embark on a journey to make a movie: her first, and likely last, and his comeback. The storytelling is deliberate, neither rushed nor sluggish, allowing you to savor each episode quietly. It's a delicate dance of words and emotions, where every story, character, line, and event unfolds with grace.
"Jeon Yeo-been's portrayal of Lee Da-eum was nothing short of amazing. Her character was a beacon of positivity, embracing life despite her illness. She remained hopeful, bright, and vibrant, a character you'd root for, and one that both hurts and warms you.
Namkoong Min's portrayal of Je-ha was equally perfect. His nuanced acting shone through, expressing so much with subtle gestures and expressive eyes. He didn't overact but delivered a complex character. Je-ha was often gloomy, yet he wasn't purely cold or warm; he was both, with his own shortcomings.
The other characters were also excellent, with a special mention for Seo-young. She was flawed but complex, eliciting both love and frustration. Yet, her character underwent the most realistic development. These characters elevated an already amazing show, making it even more beautiful."
"The romance in this show was beautiful. It was a slow, yet not too slow, burn, mutual and delicate. The romance had a distinct Melo touch, as two people meet to make a movie and slowly fall for one another, all while one of them is facing a terminal illness. The emotions that come with that kind of love story are palpable.
The chemistry between the leads was the cherry on top. They had a subtle, beautiful, and natural chemistry that flowed through even the smallest scenes and conversations. It felt effortless, yet deeply moving.
The ending... Even with just the synopsis, you could have an idea of what's coming. You think you've emotionally prepared yourself, but then you realize you've become too attached, and you're not ready. We're literally experiencing the same emotions as the characters. You know the end is near, and you think you're ready, but when it arrives, you realize you weren't, and you're already in too deep.
The ending was exactly as expected, and it still crushed me, as I knew it would. But what truly matters is the journey, right? Overall, this drama is beautiful, painful, yet beautiful. It's the kind of show you get lost in, savoring it slowly, a step at a time. You get attached to the characters and their stories, appreciating the beauty in every moment.
I wholeheartedly recommend this show to those looking for amazing storytelling, acting, and everything in between. Yes, it's sad, but it's definitely worth it. At least, it was for me."
