And Now, I shall officially start crushing on Lee Dong Wook: KYAAAAAAA, So hot ^^ Gosh, the showers scenes and the jealousy scenes *_* And the pout. And the wavy, slightly permed hair. Mmmmm.

Haha, but seriously, loved it. Especially the ending ( I know that I say it for every dramas :P). I'm glad how they left the story in the end. Neither there was a grief-striking death nor a miraculous cure. Just a beautiful message. It might be the biggest cliche when they say everyone moment counts. But then again, cliches are cliches because they are unreasonably true. I laughed a lot while watching this drama. And then cried. And then laughed. Then cried. A LOT. And then, finally, I smiled.
Lol, sorry. That was cheesy. But anyways, A MUST-WATCH! :)

Certainly not originality. It's an idea that's typical of Korean dramas and there are scenes typical of romance dramas, but the combination of cheesy romance moments, superb acting (especially from the main, Kim Sun Ah) and strong supporting characters (Uhm Ki Joon) is perhaps what made this drama so enjoyable. The chemistry between the cast was great. The viewer is able to sympathize with Lee Yeon Jae, Chae Eun Suk, and also at a few rare moments Im Se Kyung (she is a rich bitch that I did not despise as much in a drama). The result is a drama filled with tears and also moments that make you smile.

Kim Sun Ah plays Yeon Jae with exceptional grace and strength. Her character transformation may not be typical of someone that is facing death, but her way of life after finding out that she was dying should be how we all aspire to live.
Lee Dong Wook demonstrates the change of Ji Wook as someone who has no passion for life to someone that is willing to leave everything to live the life he chooses. His happiness and pain are intense.
Uhm Ki Joon plays Eun Suk who also experiences changes in how he deals with life and his work after meeting Yeon Jae. He really shows how hard it must be to deal with death every day. I can’t imagine that it is an easy job.
The secondary actors and stories were also well done, but I wish they had focused more on the main couple. If this story has any downfalls it is that there were not enough sweet Sun Ah/Dong Wook moments. They looked totally great together and there was great chemistry.
The music is good too.
I probably won’t rewatch this, but it is rewatchable.
I really think this is a drama worth watching. It has sad parts, but it also has hope. Enjoy!!!

WOW!!! A must watch drama for those who want to change their life.
I have watched several movies where the main character may die due to illness and usually the theme is that how a person learns to love and the family has to prepare to say their goodbyes.First let me get few things of my chest before I describe what really moved me about this drama. I would have given this drama a perfect 10 if it were not for episodes 10-13. The three episodes dragged on and on about FL's depression. I understand that for a cancer patient, depression would be a part all the emotions but in this case it was too much. However, in retrospect as I write this review, may be the writers were thinking that it is very difficult to stand tall in front of circumstances without allies and the love of your life.
Second.. Acting: I am in love with KIM SUN AH's acting skills. She really carried the character and the emotions till the end. Not for one second I felt that she was acting. I also give high marks to the doctor Uhm Ki Joon who had the most transformation of this drama. So from my POV, Yeon Jae (FL) & Eun Suk (doctor) were the heroes of this drama and the director executed their relationship very well. I was not too thrilled with mom's acting especially at the critical moment of mom's discovery of daughter's cancer. I think Kim Hye OK (mom) could have done a better job. Her acting at that moment looked fake and it took away from this beautiful drama.
My Interpretation of this drama:
This drama is not for everyone. This is NOT a ROM/COM. It is a serious drama giving a powerful message about creating a life of the dreams for oneself. The cancer and life/death situation was there to WAKE the FL up and take action. When she threw all the caution to the wind, she finally started to LIVE!!. That's when the work of transforming her life began. For me the following quote from the drama sums it up:
"There isn't much to life. It is not like we take our money and power with us when we die. we just live each day by seeing the person we love. As we live like that, that'll be a happy life".
I also learnt from this drama about self-respect. One cannot begin to create a life of their dreams until one begins to fully self respect themselves first. Expecting self-respect from others without loving myself first is a futile effort. The journey begins inside at first. In this drama when our FL put herself and her happiness first, it was wonderful to watch how people around also transformed.
I hope you watch this drama. The ending was a bit of a surprise but did not disappoint me. Thank you the writers, the actors for such a beautiful work of art and life.

Started off strong but ?
The story started off strong, but it grew to be flat and slow. The cast do a great job, but the story just drags on and on. The FL’s character/personality is hard to grasp initially. The music in my opinion is also terrible, ESPECIALLY the annoying song that plays over and over as if they’re in Italy. I wouldn’t watch this again. It was a struggle to get through. No joke though, if they had better music this rating wouldn’t be as low. There weren’t many cute moments that give you the butterflies in this one—some passionate scenes but it’s not the same. My Girl is way better than this one.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
This could be in every romantic fan's bucket list...
I am a little divided with this drama...I usually want stories that has close and happy endings. But, sometimes, an ending that we can cherish and maybe is open to our dreams and hopes is nice.
Sometimes poetry is not written but rather portrait in a movie. Even with some unnecessary moments, this drama delivers good pace, silent and will give you warmth at the same time that punches you with an endless winter.
STORY – it is quite simple but very well written. We have it all, the characters are deep enough for us to understand them, the situations also. Is it a love story? Well, it is so any stories in one.
ACTING – awesome acting for the most of the cast.
MUSIC – the music is used very well, painting the scenes in a good way.
REWATCH – never. This drama is awesome, but remind me “Grave of the fireflies”, a wonderful “anime” movie that I advise everyone to watch, but I will never view it again.
OVERALL – a beautiful story. If you like that, please watch and let your mind dream of a new hope…
