A wonderful drama

Absolutely loved it.

From the beginning you get expectations about what the story may be or how it's going to end with the way the first episode starts, I had been given some spoilers as well, but I assure you, there is nothing preparing you for what you'll experience.

It was beautifully written, the dialogues were to remember, some very poetic, others very reflective, but always sort of fitting, just like the interactions between the characters, everything felt so natural and real. IU did an amazing job playing two different characters and, aside from the background, the date and other elements indicating which version she was playing, you could tell from the differences in personality between the mother and the daughter and that speaks volumes of the kind of actress she is. The rest of the cast will not let you down either.

It made me feel happy, sad, nostalgic and hopeful. It shows you how much a life can go through and how precious every moment is. How life doesn't have to be flashy to be meaningful, and love can be cute and devoted, but also passionate or simply comfortable and it's equally rewarding no matter which is the case.

The pace of the series was really good, it honestly didn't disappoint in any way. The only reason I wouldn't watch it again would be I don't wanna cry because it does pull the strings of your heart a lot, and I don't usually cry. I would recommend this to anyone that appreciates a good story and is not afraid to drop a tear or two.
