A piece of magic
Oh My.....I am not sure how this sensitive and visually beautiful series ever got a low review! I feel almost privileged to have had the opportunity to watch it. And that, as I have read, 4 episodes were cut because of low rating I am beyond flabbergasted!Besides being one of the most beautifully shot dramas I have watched in a very long time, the acting was superb, the music hauntingly lovely, and the story so very touching...
This series dealt incredibly well with many complex human emotions; dealing with the pain of unrequited love, the devastation and regret of loss and the strength it takes to move past and continue on to have a fulfilling life.
Jung Hae In, a favorite of mine, has an almost etherial quality that made him perfect for the role of Moon Ha Wo. Kim Sung Kyu broke my heart in his portrayal of Kang In Wook....in fact there truly was not one actor in the series I felt could have been better cast.
This will be one I'll definitely put on my rewatch list...a truly beautiful series!

Complex and beautifully done
LOVED this drama!!! Really love the ML and FL together...great chemistry and so, so easy on the eyes...This drama was different than many with the addition of the supernatural element. While it had some religious undertones they were not over the top so easy for anyone, who might be sensitive to the subject, to watch I believe.
I loved the forward and backward time elements and how their two stories/lives tied together...
While there were a few different storylines...it was easy to follow.
I also really loved how they wrote and acted the complexities of the different characters and how so many were a mix of good and bad as most humans are. Human nature was addressed beautifully I thought.
There was also a small element of comedy which was appreciated in this drama which was often very heavy duty in it's storylines.
This will definitely be on my rewatch list....and I may even purchase the DVD...for me it was that good!

A DEEPER DIVE...
Gong Yoo.....I am truly blown away by his acting skill and the incredible risks Gong Yoo takes in his thoughtful choices of the kinds of work he decides to do.This is truly a beautiful drama...the art production is breathtaking, the acting superb, the cinematography off the charts. What a joy to watch 10 episodes of this amazing achievement.
I am saddened by the negative comments this drama has received, but alas it is not your average Korean Drama and many may not be ready for this kind of raw, sensitive and heavy piece. Like his other beautiful drama, A Man And A Woman, both are much deeper more complex dives into what makes us human with all our fragility and even through incredibly tough times, what makes us hold onto life and hope.
There really aren't many dramas of this caliber around....and this is one I'd beg you not to miss.
