The cast is excellent; Woo Bin and Suzy are terrific together. Like many here, I also think the series could have been stronger and tighter with 12-16 eps, no loopholing, turnovers, and redundancies in the plot. They're tiring and annoying because they intrude in and drag down the main plot. But I am so glad Woo Bin is doing better. His performance here is so poignant in light of his own illness: I ached for him.

The most wonderful and convincing drama. Special mention to Kim Woo-Bin and Suzy Bae who were able to illustrate the emotions, the heartache and the challenges that their characters endured. An exciting and uncontrollably addictive series. Word of warning... don't skip to the end!

Kim Woo-Bin's acting is phenomenal. Any praise for Woo-Bin falls short. Every expression in every scene of his is exactly on the mark. No compliments can do this man justice. He is incredible!

The soundtrack is incredibly emotional and well-thought out too. Even the silences are well-placed and deliver emotionally. Pieced together, this is a masterpiece.

Regarding the storyline, at a few points, it feels as if very obvious things were ignored by the characters, just to further the emotional impact, leading further away from believability & reality, but it is a K-drama after all, and this can't be a reason to criticize this show.

Unfortunately, I think this series didn't highlight Suzy's strong points. If you didn't have context, you wouldn't know if she was smiling or crying. Nevertheless, I really can't justify removing a single star from this review.

Despite a few forward-able scenes, this is the show that has stuck with me the longest. This show makes you re-evaluate life. From start to end, it makes you feel so many emotions that you can't put a word to. Woo-Bin was the highlight, but everyone did a fabulous job. Incredibly well scripted and directed.

I just finished watching this show today, and now I feel just a little bit hollow, heartbroken, and unsure of what show to console myself with next!

I guess you know pretty early on what you're getting into with this story. It still hurts though as you progress through the narrative. So many feels, so many tears shed. I guess that's a reflection on the wonderful acting, production, etc.

I want there to be a season two where things are spelled out, but of course that would take away from the magic of what we got in this series of episodes.

What to watch now? I need something that won't make me cry. Wish me luck!

A story of two lovers with a difficult and complex past, they have endured many heartbreaks along the way and seem fated never to be together. The two leads Suzy Bae and Kim Woo-bin are superb and if you don't feel their heartache and cry you are emotionally dead.
