This drama was unexpectedly pleasant. When you start a show knowing that it is a k-trauma, you unconsciously prepare yourself for all the tears. You expect at least 3-4 major emotional breakdowns from the leads, coupled with multiple crying montages. Our movie didn’t give us any of that. Although the premise warns of immense sadness, the story is told in a way that the pain is more of an afterthought. Instead of bawling my eyes out, I was overwhelmed by a deep feeling of warmth. Our Movie tells a tragic story in a way that makes all the beautiful moments that much more precious. It is slow-paced and requires undivided attention to understand fully, BUT once you get to the core of their message, you won’t want to leave. This is one of those dramas where, if you are patient enough, the emotional payoff at the end is much deeper than a cliché rom-com. I may be a bit biased, given that I don’t watch a lot of melodramas, but this one was definitely worth my time.
