Be aware that this is a pretty sad drama so if you're looking for something light and fun then look elsewhere!! With that warning out of the way, let's go through the pros and cons. Things I loved about this drama are Kim Woo Bin and his acting. He really pulls off this sort of character which is not an easy task.
The drama also has excellent cinematography. I loved the colors of the scenes along with the pretty locations and other great visual elements. The drama also had an excellent soundtrack that made everything so much more beautiful. Some cons of the drama include being too cliche, being too miserable and the story line drags out quite a bit in the middle. All in all I enjoyed the story. The writing could have been better but the ending was satisfactory and pays off the audience for watching until the end.

K-Trauma not a K-Drama

Knew what was coming from the very first episode , but i still couldnt prepare myself for it.
The last few episodes were so painfully beautifull and heart-crushing... The ending was so painfull and this show turned out to be one of the first Tv shows/movie to make me cry

There was nothing about this Drama i Mean Truma that dissapointed me. The plot line was never boring, The acting from Suzy and Woo Bin was absolutely amazing and the Music Cues were on point.

This has to and will remain to be one of my 10/10s and would Definitely Force/Encourage people to watch it ( Though idk if i should cause no one should watch such a sad ending)
This show is guaranteed to make everyone and everything cry.
The only reason the rewatch rating of this show is low is because there is no way Me(or Anyone ) can handle watching this masterpeice again.

It’s a drama filled with cliches just the way I like it. It’s lengthy so I got to binge watch it and there’s nothing like staying in bed for hours watching a cliche romance. It’s not groundbreaking and that’s ok.

The music could’ve been better. Rewatch only if you know you’ll enjoy it just as much as the first time, or if you’re hoping to notice things you didn’t notice before to appreciate it in a different perspective. If you were to ask me I’d say ClOY, instead of this show, is definitely something you could rewatch. I wouldn’t say a show is bad just because I wouldn’t rewatch it; some are better only watched once and Uncontrollably Fond is one of them.

As its name Uncontrollably fond , this one is the most saddest yet meaningful drama i've ever watched. You should watch this if you can watch sad but amazing kind of drama. You'll never regret it ,if you would understand it. This one is ONE OF A KIND????.All Uncontrollable circumstances ends up worthwhile because of Sim Joon Young & Choi Ji Tae , How Amazingly Suzy played her role, Hat's off to all those actors including these three, I loved how they made this drama so Beautiful. Kim Woo Bin you are Amazing????. OST's like Golden Love, A little Braver& find the difference are Literally Fascinating. Thank you all actors,director, singers etc etc .. For making this kind of drama , Loved It. I cried in last few episodes.

My top Korean drama

This was such a heartbreaking drama, it all hits you at the end and it is so sad to feel. I can still remember the pain I've felt after watching this drama like imagine you being with someone and then one day they're gone. The feeling of someone you love dying is so saddening to even imagine, I love how it ended like that and I don't think it's incomplete because sometime it's just how the way it is, so heartbreaking and it's the best Korean drama that I've watched. The acting was on point, the story was so good, for me everything was perfect from the beginning to the end.

My highlight of the drama are Shin Young's eyes, Kim Woo Bin is such a great actor and I hope he gets well soon too, his eyes are so emotional and you can see the pain through his acting with just his eyes. This drama made me love Bae Suzy even more too, I saw people abashed her for her acting bad after Shin Young died which is clearly false, if you ever lost someone you love and cried your tears through day and night, the next day, you just feel lost and Bae Suzy portrayed the character so well, Noh Eul was empty that's why she acted like that at the balcony scene, she didn't cry anymore because she already lost it all and also herself from the time being as someone she cherished died. Lastly, the OST of this song is so good, one of the best OST in a Korean drama, Golden Love is such a good song and everyone should hear it.

To describe it in 2 Words: Emotional and Unforgettable <3
Fantastic! The story is SO Unpredictable that you'll say "Wow" at every twist of the story.

The Acting of Kim woo bin <3 How to explain it... I don't have words. The pain that he feels is literally felt by the audience. You won't believe my words! So watch it yourself, How amazing the expressions of his love are. I bet everybody would fall for him. The curiosity of WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT is what keeps you stuck to your seat during the Whole drama.

And the Music is so Captivating that EACH AND EVERY SONG of this drama series is in my best songs list <3 according to the situations, music is PERFECT.

Family love, the cries of a mother, the cruelty of a father, the concept of Politics, the responsibility of being a son, the Greed of Money and the Desperation to be with the lover, EVERYTHING is MIND BLOWING.

There isn't any typical Upper class lower class torture like other kdramas have, where the girl has to suffer in a relationship because of her Low status. It is a REASONABLE DRAMA with No exaggeration, no over acting, No side characters. You'll only love love and love it <3

As for Romance, its so Real as if they're a real couple. Honestly. I never found such romance in any other drama, even though I tried to. You won't be able to see such a HEARTWARMING ROMANCE IN ANY OTHER KDRAMA, that's something I can bet for. Go watch it. RIGHT NOW!

Deep love

Okay... heavy stuff.
In the beginning I had problems with the storyline, did not really get a grip of the strange relationship between Shin Joon Young and Noh Eul. Eventually though I thought it was a really special relationship with deep love.

Heavy story, good acting.
I 'knew' Kim Woo Bin from Heirs and was curious to see him in a lead role. He did not disappoint me, I must say.
I liked Bae Suzy in this drama more than in While you were sleeping.

But hey... I was a mess after having finished this drama! I am always really part of the story, like really being in there, and I needed some time to recover. After having watched this, go for a light drama!

Before having registered at MDL, I had my own grading system. These are the grades which I applied and which have contributed to the overall score I gave to this drama.
acting M: 10
acting F: 9
couple match: 9.5
romance: 9
emotions: 10
story line: 9
supporting cast: +
watch back: yes

Story
If you are familiar with the writer..(who wrote Innocent man, A love to kill, I'm sorry i love you) you would know what type of story this is..
This is not a fairy tale..It is clear cut realistic story. and It is true that this is not for the ones who would prefer RomComs...they might end up being disappointed...So if you don't like sad realistic stories..Don't watch it and complain about it..
But if you loved those dramas i mentioned above or you like tragedy genre...Join the club and watch it..you would love this drama..
But if you compare other popular dramas from the writer ,, i find this is lacking somewhere..

Acting/Cast
Kim woo bin- i think he is one of the best actors who can portray that "bad boy with a soft heart" role perfectly.He was not in my favorite list even though i watched most of his dramas and movies.But here he was able to capture my heart...So frankly his acting in this drama was perfect.
Suzy-same goes with her..she was also not in my list..but here she was really good and i loved her.
I think i should appreciate most of the actors in this drama..They did a really good job to make those emotions in our heart..laughter, agony, anger. everything...

Music
This drama has three English songs which are still ringing in my mind.and along with all other songs they blend up with emotions of the story...
So the OSTs is one the best thing about this drama..and i would say that even if you decide to not to watch this drama..you would enjoy these OSTs alone.
And there is a present for fans of both main actors.

Rewatch Value
I'm not the person to talk about that since i do not Rewatch any drama.

Overall
It was good drama worth watching and will remain in you heart.

I really did enjoy the drama.. But the ending was left up to the viewers whether they think he is dead or alive And thats one thing that disappointed me. It makes me feel that the writer of the drama is not confident enough with her/his ending. Though I overall really enjoyed the drama. But yet I suggest you to watch this drama if you are a fan of Kim woo bin.. You see even in real he has cancer.. I won't say you anymore spoiler.. Just enjoy the drama. Kim woo bin and Suzy acted Really well. I overall enjoyed the drama alot. There are a few people I really liked in the drama.

I have a hard time rating this drama, mainly because I loved some things about it and absolutely hated others. I was totally in love with the first 11 or 12 episodes. The tragic characters, the intrigue, the manipulation on many levels, the pathetic situation of one of the characters were pretty well done for me. I kept going back for more and more. I don't necessarily love melodramas; however, many of them are well done and pretty balanced in their stories, so as long as they make me feel like the characters' actions were reasonable and somewhat justified by their circumstances, I just roll with it. However, this stopped being the case here at certain point. The main characters started acting irrational and kind of petty. It was especially the case with Shin Joon Young, who seemed to be going back and forth on what he actually wants to accomplish in his life. The ending, though predictable, didn't really give me the necessary closure. I will not be re-watching this drama because it didn't stir up emotions that I would like to go through again.

Hello!! Please forget all the bad reviews and just read this, I don't know where to start but one thing is sure you will cry your hurt out at the end of this show. I mean even if you're someone who don't like melodrama and stuff like that, even you will cry at the end of this show.

The acting of the whole cast was impeccable. The whole show was DAEBUK. The story and acting was so real and I really felt everything and it touched my heart. I didn't want this show to end. I become so attached to the characters and didn't really want this to end. I want this to go forever.

Though, it doesn't have a happy ending. It will definitely teach you something in the end and you will be blessed for what you have in this life. I will definitely rewatch this show but not alone, I will definitely watch it with a friend, so that I could get a shoulder to cry on.

OKAY!! enough of the melodrama. But please do watch this show, you can't miss on such a masterpiece. This show will intrigue you from the very first episode and please watch it with a pack of tissues with you as it is one hell of an emotional ride which will broke your heart. But WATCH THIS SHOW!! and feel everything as its beautiful.

Melodrama - unlike what I write down bellow I trully recommend it

Shortly its about dying guy.
Which want to :repair: his wrongdoings to people he loves or loved.

I give it 8.5 just cause I gived 9 to series with alike theme which I think done better in moving mine emotions.

Actors did quite good work sadly human relations in this story are quite complicated which gives less room for romance.
Overall indecision of main dying character is understandable but its propably main reason why I didnt empathise as much as I could and main reason for score just 8.5
