Acting was brilliant, which kept me watching when I really shouldn't have. The level of sadness in this is extreme and in many cases seems an unnecessary level of emotional and physical pain inflicted on the characters. I spent most of my time being furious at the mistreatment of the characters by other characters.
If you have any level of depression, that will respond well to a very sad story, DO NOT WATCH THIS. I and other friends who watched this were traumatised by it (I've been told the Japanese story that this is from is even darker&sadder)
It is months since I've watched this, and just the small mention of it and the distress this drama caused floods back in. Another fellow watcher described it as requiring DECOMPRESSION afterwards.
Excellent performances by actors but this script is just way too unpleasant.

Well written, psychologically sound story of love and loss, nicely acted.

What struck me most about this story is how accurately it described how when young, loss of someone you love, that you had hoped for/expected a future with, can leave you stuck and this story beautifully resolves it. It also described well, the emotions of people around, can feel during and after that time and that coming together can help with the healing.

Yes, you will probably need tissues handy, yes, it will grab you and you should feel, but it is really quite a simple, wonderful story and handles the complexities of the emotions with honesty and purity.

I totally recommend it, but do have those tissues handy. It isn't sobbing, it is just a regular eye-watering, happy and sad watering. Short and sweet!

An interesting story turned into standard pile of romcom tropes, with logic holes everywhere... Yeah it wrapped it up tightly in one of the lovely material wraps that Koreans use but it still had some bits leaking with a gap or two in the wrapping.

Disappointed.

Potential to be a lot more fun and also could have developed on her talented photography skills, since though not necessarily an 'artist' of the painting sort, her composition skills as a photographer were noted by both a renowned artist, Ryan Gold and renowned musician Shi An who would have been used to getting professional level photography done of him so her work was in that level.
Potentials of the starting story never realised. Strikes me direction/production team took safe route to end of story and ended up with one of his condensed milk coffee-less lattes, not even a hint of peppermint anywhere.
