Bittersweet
I recently finished watching this drama and if i had to describe it in one word it would be "Bittersweet".
The change in perspective, between those left behind and the deceased is a refreshing take. You can see the stark contrast in everyone's way of dealing with these newfound emotions.
Everything from start to finish was crafted with such care, the difference in lighting and colouring to what the characters wore to even the way they moved conveyed the story's message in a subtle way.
Even though it was short I do not think it needed more episodes. I think it was encapsulated perfectly in the 6 episodes with not many irrelevant/boring scenes. However it was quite slow paced but everything lose end does tie together in the end really well.
I really liked the characters they show the versatility of being human. They all have flaws and regrets but they all choose different paths to deal with it. Specifically Ram u's best friend Lee Hong seok I feel like they really did their big one with his character, his grief wasn't visible but he still experienced the same thing as Hui wan still felt everything but still kept it to himself so others could be vulnerable which hugely contrasts with Hui wan who is constantly stuck in a state of guilt, regret and remembrance where she partly forgets that's she's not the only one who's struggling.
We are clearly shown how she changes mentally and physically after the death of Ram-u due to that its a loud and uncomfortable change we are forced to witness. However it's not a sad thing to watch in it's entirety as we see her begin to embrace those feelings and recongize them as something other than a burden and as long as she cherishes and lives on with those feelings Ram u will always be with her.
One thing I would say is that the flashbacks were confusing at times and hard to keep up with so if would've been nicer with a bit more clarity on the different times.
*I would advise people who want a story to fill their heart with hope and acceptance to watch this show.
*I also want to say thank you to the whole crew who worked so hard on this show behind the scenes, paying attention to every little detail which really made the whole experience so enjoyable and to the actors who portrayed their characters really put all their effort into making sure they did their characters justice.
