I watched it again today to find out why I it was a so so movie for me before and checked if it will give me different feelings now.
Well, It's a good movie, but not a great one. It is still so so for me. Maybe because my expectations from a movie is the same as what Kdramas make me feel but for some reasons I just didn't feel that from watching this.

I think this is what you get living in regrets, a man and a woman with regrets in their lives, if they were not married, it is called, second chance and might lead to a happy ending; but in their status, it was an escape, a fantasy which leads to a reality that they can never be together.
I guess it is always easy to fall in love with a new person compare to be in love again with the same person.
But this is just one story, there can still be another story, when you free yourself from regrets, move on, and challenge yourself to discover something new about marriage and love. If it is love, then regardless of how many times you failed and got hurt, there can always be a happy ending without the need to spend for another wedding :))

The first part of the movie was fun and cute. The middle part is okay. The ending if predictable but still okay. I am still hoping to see a Korean movie which I can say my favorite Korean Movie.

I watched it because I got curious to see Kim Go Eun's acting in her first debut.
I think they are trying to show how a 70 yr old cans till fall in love regardless of time an age, but not for me, the only thing I have learned form the movie is for us women to be sensitive with our actions towards men regardless of how harmless them may seem to us, we should be modestly dressed and careful with our gestures, so that we won't provoke them men.
I have read reviews relating poetry to this movie, well I am no poet, writer nor a bookworm, but I love to read between the lines, I give life a deep thought, and try to see things differently, but I can not see any poetry nor love in this movie, they just used poetry and love as an excuse for a human's weakness.
As for the female character, i think she speaks of the problem with teenage girls who have low self esteem, they tend to adore who ever sees them otherwise. That's why it is important for parents to praise their children.
I am wondering if Kim Go Eun did not regret doing this film up until now. I mean, if it is something like the Hollywood film ; "The notebook" it is worth some sexy scenes (but still less than what was shown in A muse)
A Man and A Woman, was even more decent than this.

It is brilliantly written,
I tells us about: love, greed, loyalty, betrayal, reasons, excuses, purpose, failures, success, discipleship, leadership, camaraderie , friendship, negotiation, submission, wisdom, foolishness, politics, life, death, struggles,rewards, etc etc etc.
I understood everything the writer was trying to show, of course with the help of the brilliant actors,everyone in the drama was consistent in their acting. Seeing Jo Hyun Jae's smile makes it even more worth watching.

There was not a dull moment and the action scenes were good. And of course Gong Yoo is so manly and handsome all throughout. I just wished he had more lines and wished they have shown more scenes showing his soft side while with his wife.

And even though Lee Min Jung is really beautiful, she can act, she can cry, she is cute, but I am not convinced with her acting, she looked more of an easy, gullible lady for me in the series. She's nothing but a pretty face (sorry,that is how i felt)
And although Gong Yoo was handsome and all, I can not fall in love with his character as Kang Kyung-joon, how can he boast about his looks to GIl Da Ran while it was not his face in the first place.
I like him better as, Seo Yoon-jae, I mean, how can Gil Da Ran, just forget about him, who by the way was lying in the hospital inside a different body. A doctor who loves kids, a handsome doctor being chased by his fellow doctor but still managed to be faithful. Who was on his way to tell confess his feeling to you before he got into an accident, being in a comma after saving the guy, who happens to enjoy his handsome face and sexy body, only to find out that Gil Da Ran chose that Oh-Oh school boy??
I mean,,,what duh??? But again if you long to see Gong Yoo in his early 30s go ahead and watch this. You might like it, since some people do. , But,,, I really did not like the story. I still love Gong Yoo though! Handsome!

The first time I watched this was in 2011,then in 2013, again in 2015 and just finished watching it today. I can relate to every bits of it.
Fo me this is a "Life Checker",I can get fond of things same as watching RomCom Dramas like Full House, Be carelessly in love as Coffee Price/Only You, be maturely in love as DOTS, be under love's mystery as Goblin, but just as how it is in real life, one should have a stage in their life to see how I've done in life so far, how well I dealt with people, how people dealt with me, how I felt about things in the past, present and future, how people might have felt towards me, and while being with the one you love sharing all nice things together and able to express your love really happens, at one point, there is a Han Kang in you or would wish someone like han kang exist in your life, the unexplainable love you have for a person or a person has for you that you get to show and appreciate or he get to show or appreciate, in spite of time, opportunities,distance, presence or absence.
And as for Ji Hyun's life in the drama:
"Does a reality exist where you do not mis-understand and you are not misunderstood? Is sincerely something i should consider first from my position or the other position?"
Even with purest intensions, you might find yourself asking those questions, but just as how the story turned out, the best way to life your life is to choose to love even if you ended up misunderstood, and to be sincere first even if you ended up being betrayed, because a person's heart can always change, and what you do greatly affect what would one's heart turn out to be."
Shout out to Lee Yo-won's acting, I have never seen any other Korean actress acted as good as her. There were not much of changes they had to with with her appearance to distinguish the 3 characters she played, her great acting alone was convincing enough.
Rest of the cast did good acting too.
Jo Hyun Jae, will always be close to my heart :)

During the first few episodes I did not like the female lead's acting and looks, I also don't feel good watching Joong Ki's pathetic role in the first few episodes. It took me 10 episodes before enjoying the drama as a whole. I was worried at first of how Kang Ma Roo's love and affection be transferred from Han Jae Hee to Eun Gi, but Song Joong Ki pulled it off in spite of some lacking aspects somewhere in the story. During the last few episodes, Kang Ma Roo's character became attractive so as his face, with those cool outfits and all. I was worried about what the ending would be, there were some flaws but al in all I'm ok with it.
If you are a Song Joong Ki fan, watch this.
If not, give it a shot if you have the luxury of time to watch.

Joong Ki's character is very different from that of DOTS, thus I enjoyed watching him.
Yoo Ah In's character is lovable also.
I would recommend you watching this if you have the luxury of time but I don;t think I will watch it again. I might just browse some SongJoongKi's scenes randomly.
