I'm honestly surprised at some of the ratings and comments I see for this drama. Was it flawless? Probably not. But I don't go into shows looking for flaws, and if nothing jumps at me, then I don't care as long as I'm entertained. I honestly don't like tear-jerkers and hate sad/tragic endings, so I don't really watch cancer shows. The only other cancer Kdrama I watched was actually a family drama, but I pretty much cut off once the cancer thing became too serious so I never did finish it. I first watched this years ago so I can't remember what prompted me to even watch it (since I'm not really that big a fan of Bae Suzy) but I imagine it might be in part to do with Kim Woo Bin (who's only other show I watched that I liked him in was School 2013.)

This drama makes me cry. Even just thinking about it can make me teary. I don't rewatch it often, but I remember reading an article after I watched the drama that Kim Woo Bin had pulled out of acting because he was diagnosed with cancer in real life after this show, and I nearly had a heart attack. I cried over the drama because he was a little too realistic with his acting, and watching someone in so much pain broke me down. He's finally back into acting again after battling cancer, and I watched this again before looking at his new stuff. I've only seen trailers so far, but I'm excited!

It's still as good as I remember (but I really can't watch that last ep again, it's far too painful.)
