I don't normally rate dramas lover than a 5 because I simply don't even start dramas that seem off or I drop them after a few episodes. I wanted to give this drama a chance for the sake of the leads. I liked Song Hye Kyo in DOTS but I can't even believe this is the same actress. Her acting is so stiff and she has zero expressions throughout the whole drama. Jang Ki Yong was amazing in Kill It and I loved that drama, but my goodness this one was a hard miss. Idk what on earth did the leads think. The script is awful and stiff and emotionless. Tries so hard to be impactful but fails at it in every scene for the leads.
The only reason I wanted to finish this was for the cancer plot. My brother also has cancer and I thought I should try not to avoid such topics. Honestly, that part of this drama felt slightly comforting. The people left behind were remembering her but still trying their best to continue living.
Not really a fan of the cheating part of the plot. It felt like it was done for shock value but then I was supposed to root for the man after it because he was going to lose his wife and become a single dad. Okay at least he seemed like a good dad.
The romance between the leads was 1/10. Zero chemistry but somehow they were "in love". The only source of love being their past encounters and "fate". The insanely outdated conflict was how the parents were all against their relationship and that was somehow a huge deal.
Would never watch again.
Honestly, I'm mad at myself for finishing such a bad drama. I usually chose better.
