Painful but beautiful at the same time. Definitely a must-watch for Romantic Melo lovers!
The first episode literally shouts what's going to come: heartbreak, pain, and, most important, LOVE.
If you're familiar with Korean melodramas or Ktraumas, you will know how this is.
Two people from two different worlds are met by fate. One is emotionally shut down, and the other does not have much time to live. Each is going to light the other's life, but they don't have forever to give or spend with each other.
The cinematography and OST are all amazingly beautiful. the scenes, the landscapes, and, most importantly, the songs used pierce the soul.
Updated Review:
If you look closely, episode 1's beginning is actually the ending of the drama. why?
Story:
A terminal patient with hopes of fullfilling her only wish to become an actress, finds the rare chance to star in a movie about a terminal patient directed by someone who has his own baggage of issues. The path is bumpy with so many problems, from her illness and those around her, to the ML being under pressure to make the movie happen. But the story goes on and these two also fall in love. not just a platonic superficial love, but a deep one that lasts a lifetime. "Our Movie" is made in the end and the leads get to watch it, one in this world and the other from the other side. Heartachingly beautiful.
The Cast:
I have seen previous works of Nam Koong Min and Jeon Yeo Been. Both are talented artists. I wasn't expecting to see their chemistry flourish into what we just saw. They literally delivered the best versions of Lee Jeha and Lee Daeum that will stay in the hearts of the fans for a long time. The second leads albeit annoying a bit, delivered the respective roles quite beautifully.
Production and writing:
Simply poetic and artistic. the colors, scenes, and the characters emotions conveyed is so deep in this drama. there are a few minor issues in the writing but in my opinion, these issues and faults are what make a drama so beautiful.
overall, this drama became one of the best of 2025 for me personally. 10/10 recommended to those who love this genre and this marvelous cast!
