I'll not write a consistent summary, this can be found on Asianwiki. I'll write why I rated 10, why I like this, what I found great in the filming technique and acting. There are at least three main characters: Ji Hoon who wants to save his mother by a deadly liver disease; Hye-Soo a single mother who want to be a transplant donor, she herself find to be very ill; Hye-Soo's little daughter Eun-Sung who is truly adorable at only seven years old .
First, I like the pace of film, well balanced. Secondly, in this drama are a few scenes filmed from many angles, I like enormous that is not a lazy filming technique. And so many well framed scenes: bedtime late conversation between mother and daughter, some wonderful hand grips, a few nice hugs, the harsh conversations of the main characters with Ji-Hoon's father, an amazing godfather, literally. Thirdly and the most importance for me is Eun-Sung's acting (actress Shin Rin-Ah): I'm in awe how the filming team managed a child, clever indeed, to perform a lot of brilliant scenes, to sustain long dialogues. She is the cherry on the cake, without her all drama is void. I emphasize again, I'm enchanted how the crew ,director, writer, managed to highlight the girl. I feel and that good chemistry between mother and girl; praises for this to actress Uee.

You would cry your heart out and will pour tears in litters. My head aches after so much hours of crying on this show.
This evokes the emotion in the deepest ways from episode 10.
If you even need a good cry , give this one a try. Join hands with An undying love of a mom and a child who has a seen a world a little with a guy who is ready to lay everything for love.

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 💛. They are amazing.
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 .
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.
