My life's been a series of impossibles. Impossible is an opinion, not a fact - Hwang Woo Yun
*Spoilers: Ending hinted at
I'm rating this so highly because it was amazing not because I would watch it again. Not because I couldn't watch this 100 times and it would be any less amazing. But because it was so good my heart is still aching so badly. Of course it doesn't help that I watched this to get away from my Reply 1988 heartache. It made it worse not better! What luck I have. To make some comparisons - I'm still heartbroken over Reply 1988 (currently in the middle of my second attempt 4 years later, so heartbroken), it's similar-ish but better than 100 Days of Summer.
I started watching this because I love Kim Young Kwang and Park Bo Young but watching their chemistry on screen was even better than I had imagined. Maybe I will watch this movie again one day after all. Their chemistry was so good.
After watching the movie I read some comments to see if I can get over my heartbreak even 1% and I was laughing at all the comparisons to Reply 1988. I was trying to escape Reply 1988 but I just watched an in-depth shortened version. To quote Reply 1988 "Fate doesn't always come to see you. If you at least use that term, it is during very rare coincidences happening in a critical moment - that's how it is fate. Therefore, Fate has another name called Timing. But Fate and Timing does not only come in coincidences. Those abundant choices lead you to desperation creating that moment like a miracle. Unwavering surrender and decisions without hesitation makes the timing."

Watching this I felt like they wanted to turn a typical Hollywood romance film on it's head. Seriously, which Korean plays American football? To name some films they wanted to flip - Sweet Home Alabama, The Wedding Planner, The Wedding Crashers, Made of Honor, Shrek. I had to do some research because I don't remember the ones I'm thinking of.
So it's amazing but the ending is just TOO realistic! Way too realistic! I didn't want it to end in the only other alternative which was way too typical and like literally every Hollywood romance movie (remember the title is On Your Wedding Day) but this ending was even worse because it's although it's good, I'm heartbroken! It was the saddest happy ending ever! Or is it the happiest sad ending? I rarely cry while watching anything, of course it helps that I try and avoid sad shows as much as possible, and while I didn't exactly cry at the end, I genuinely felt and still feel completely heartbroken. I wanted to cry and still want to cry over a happy(?) ending.
The character growth was amazing and realistic, something that needs to be shown but also something I don't want to see (haha). The characters' are so amazing together and it felt like their whole lives revolved around each other but in the end I love the speech and they may be happy with where they are at but I'm not! But it's realistic and I'll just keep telling myself that. Most people feel like their whole lives revolve around each other but we don't NEED to have that other person. We shouldn't live just for the other person but romance fiction gives us that kind of thought, there's so much more to life than romance. I love that the writer wanted to share this realistic story of romance that millions of people have gone through, even multiple times. It doesn't stop me from being heartbroken though.
