Well, I didn't skip it completely but skimmed it (sadly FF). There were some sweet scenes and that dark magic guy's backstory and then the cure to the jade. I didn't really miss anything because many were about to drop after episode 20, but this method actually helped.
About the illness, they couldve laid more groundwork there because we only ever heard about it quite later in…
good point. I'm also a healthcare professional dealing with malignancies( what a small world). i get your point completely. Kdramas tend to go overboard with anything, be it a relationship or a disease but there should be a development. last drama i watched with a terminal illness ( Our Movie) actually developed the character well based on the disease, like she know she would get worse, have weakened days, etc.
I've been stuck on episode 21 for ages now. The initial episodes were great but now the plot feels so sluggish.…
do what I did (I was exactly stuck on episode 20 and on the verge of dropping). I skipped through and started watching from ep 26. 27 onwards, the story paces up( I didn't miss much by skipping). From episode 30 onwards, I didn't even FF. I think episode 30 till the finale were the best episodes.
On episode 6 now. The ML is not very much present and has minimal contact, but whenever he does show up, he knows everything. will he get more screen time after episode 6?

it is implied that he is taking pills and has hospital visits, but is it even discussed clearly? Do we get to see him suffering because of the disease from the beginning? No. Suddenly now as an adult, amid finding his first love, he is dying. As simple as that. There were hints yes from the first episode, but why should a terminal illness just be a hint? This drama's writing is very faulty. As much as I like this genre, I couldn't help but notice this issue. not sure about Korean drama fans' part. we are all Korean drama fans here LOL

Yep! The disease was really unnecessary. He was sick since he was a kid like his mom but the story never developed there. It would have been much better to focus on the leads after passing their hard pasts and to create a future together. The writer did so badly here. The story doesn’t even make sense. He will die and the FL will leave everything to spend time with him and that’s it? I’m not really gonna drop this drama but it’s with so many faulty developments.
An opinion of this drama as someone who has been watching melodramas a lot lately. It had the potential to be a good melodrama but after 8 episodes, I personally can’t understand the dynamics and the direction. The drama is neither focused on the leads relationship nor the illness. It’s just dangling. Just 4 episodes left and I can’t really think of anything to come out of this drama. If it was about the illness, they should’ve developed the character based on that. If it was about childhood lovers reuniting, they should’ve focused on that. Also, if someone really wants to watch this, they should stay away from the comments here. It just plants a negative mindset. I personally don’t care about the actor/actresses lives.

He is officially diagnosed as someone who could die any minute or live a million years. He told the FL
