Touching sad love story without an definite ending

First of all: I´m done watching this drama now for the second time. I´ve watched it first, when it was released, and came now back at it after a year had passed. Nonetheless was I emotional touched by this sad love story again. I cried many times while emphasising with the main character. We get to experience the story of him being in varous relationships.
Me being a straight woman, I have no prejudice against gay stories. But honestly I think love is a theme that everyone can emphasise with. The main actor himself said in an interview, that it´s ultimatly a story of a human in the search of love.
I like it very much, because it´s not like the typical KDrama Love romance, but it´s also not a raunchy gay film with to much intimicy only for shock value. While it´s gay themed, it thouches also some theames of the gay comunity. But not to heavily, for not scaring the casuel audience away.

Story: Not many dramas for this kind of journey to love story in a straight context, so it´s kinda refreshing and you can hardly compare it to other korean dramas. It was very well depicted, and I didn´t mind the overlaping timelines in the last episodes. 10/10
Acting/Cast: The main actor is a very good one. He played very well. Some other actors played their roles stiff or overacted sometimes. All in all, a good cast. 8/10
Music: Good acustical music well suited for each scene. No outstandig pop titles or balads. Good choice! 8/10
Rewatch Value: I did rewatch it and would even recomend the title. 10/10

Their is no real ending for this drama, it´s open. I would love to see a season 2. But some stories are best left in the open. Maybe the story is fine as it is. And after the backlash the main actor Nam Yoon-su has been given, I highly doubt a second season. But I love his unapologetic attitute!
