    Obessed with Koran's now

    This was my first Korean drama and I binged it in one weekend. Although it's quite lengthy sometimes you get quickly attached to the 2 main characters and how the cold hearted playboy falls for those 2 ladies. I was so eager to see how things were going to unfold given the fact that we learn the leading lady had a terminal illness from the get go. Lovely story and the little girl gives an awesome performance.

    My first Korean drama!

    I loved this drama but it was also very frustrating as someone who is not familiar with Korean culture. Lots of deep pauses and politeness and nobody really responded to questions put to them out of politeness/ respect. Imagine the difference if people just communicated directly. I'm not convinced the subtitles were 100% accurate either, which probably didn't help- some of the lines seemed callous but I wasn't sure if this is Korean humour to use insults to deflect their emotions or bad translation.

    Despite the frustrations, got absolutely hooked and very attached to the characters especially the little girl, who deserves all the awards possible. In fact all the actors were brilliant and their roles were very genuine. Was expecting more from the ending, it kind of just finished.

    A Very Sad Drama

    First you hate the lead male for being so inhumane. And then you pity him for the way he cares the lead female. This drama is a very sad love story. It tells us about how people try to enjoy life with their loved ones despite all the troubles in life .

    Don't Miss This One!

    This is by far one of the best KDramas I have ever watched. The lead actors Lee Seo Jin and Uee are to be commended on their convincing portrayal of a couple who initially marry for the wrong reasons, but later fall deeply in love with each other. This series will make you laugh and make you cry. The premise of the story is so realistic that it draws the viewer into its web of life and death. Kudos to all for this unforgettable and wonderful series. It is a masterpiece that I will watch again and again!

    A heart warming drama

    Took me long enough to watch this drama bcause i initially didnt like the title and the plot. Somehow i watched it and after 1st episode, i just couldnt stop watching it. First of all, all the players are amazing. Especially the main actors who played naturally and have a very great chemistry. The plot is flowing nicely. Sometimes without words, just glance of eyes and body language, they told the story. Good job director and kru. It supposed to be a sad drama but somehow it made a heart warming feeling. This is a must see drama. I am watching it again just to see the acting of lead characters πŸ’›. They are amazing.
