Too deep

Despite facing numerous challenges, the female lead endured a series of hardships, including the loss of her husband, being ensnared in debt, and battling a terminal illness. However, amidst the trials, she found solace in fleeting moments of happiness. Although her future remained uncertain, she cherished the small joys that came her way. The actors, both leads and supporting, delivered exceptional performances, enriching the viewing experience. Their portrayal captivated and resonated with the audience, making the drama a compelling watch.

This is a very cliche romantic drama, with all the usual plot line. Nothing new or breakthrough about it. It’s kind of slow and I think they stretch the story out too thin, it feels like there’s not enough material for the whole show. I think they have a lot more to explore to make the story more exiting and fast paced. I would love to see more development on many of the plot point, but they just left it very vague and skimming the surface only.

I really love the child.. she’s so cute and adorable. I think she’s a very talented child actor, and I couldn’t wait to see what she would do next. Main Female and Male lead did a good job portraying their character. All three of them together are very adorable, I wish they have more of it.

The music is totally forgettable. I wouldn’t really rewatch this drama because the plot is just too basic.

Bittersweet as life. Must watch.

I still not sure if I loved it or if it made me miserable. It's as bittersweet as life itself.

I cried at every chapter, not just out of sadness but also because it makes me appreciate life. It was my first Uee's drama and I loved her all the way. I didn't watch any Lee Seo Jin dramas before and I loved him too, as well as the rest of the cast.

Without spoiling anything you can expect all the kdramas clichés in here. Acting is what makes this series incredible.

I don't think is a drama to rewatch. I'm 100% sure I don't want to put myself through this again. But I won't forget it.

Sad but moving, great character development

Just finished watching this movie for the second time. I find out certain films just pull me back to wanting to watch them again, and I like this even more on the second viewing.
I like the development of the male lead character after he meets the female lead. It’s clear from the early episodes that it’s going to be very sad, but I still enjoyed the manner which the drama moved forward. I also liked many of the secondary characters, although I would’ve liked to have known more about them. Someway I’m not sure why I really like this so much but after first viewing it six or eight months ago, I kept thinking about it and wanted to return to watch it one more time.

beautiful bittersweet drama

This drama was quite the build up to then pull at your heartstrings. it begins with a typical premise interaction between a chaebol and a down on her luck heroine. However, in this case, they really give her a bag of lemons that just won’t make a satisfactory pitcher of lemonade to give her the fairytale ending.

Don’t want to spoil too much other than once they get you in the cathartic state of emotional upheaval and the tears start coming down, they do not let up. the light tones they add in between the heavy hearted moments just adds to it (at least for me) and made me bawl all the more.

as I got to the final minutes I was hoping for some crazy deux ex machine moment to save the day but no such luck. It closes with a somewhat open ended ending but you know what is really going to happen and the creative team decided to have some mercy on us and leave it at that.

Anyways, I definitely recommend it if you’re fine with something that isn’t quite light hearted and are ok leaving a little sadder and introspective than when you came.

This drama may follow a typical Korean drama trope of rich guy who is a jerk and a poor woman with a good personality and positivity falls in love and all, but this drama is exceptionally good, I cried. This drama seems so ordinary but so good at being the ordinary that it offers. The chemistry of the leads as well as the child actor are really good, well executed and the acting was great. I cried my eyes out watching this drama, I felt all the emotions I could feel that the actors conveyed. Worth my time.

Good Storyline

Overall story line good. Started off a bit slow but later episodes were better. Typical rich family drama. I did not like the FL and ML together. Would have been much better if one of them was with a different actor. Felt FL wasn’t cast right for this show. A few episodes were emotional. First time I watched an episode with the ML. I felt he was almost a bit too old for FL. Supporting cast was ok, nothing great. Did not care for the hyung of ML. Too much of a whiner. Give it a try. You may like it!

OMG this is really a huge bulk of sulk :(
first of all i've to admit that Uee acting become better
really she improved her performance
the only thing that made me complete it is ( Lee Seo Jin) i adored his role in this drama
and Ahn Ji Hoon his acting was really good

Ahn JI & Lee Seo Jin first time for me to watch both of them , really nice and cute actors,
this drama is a new idea for marring by contract

it is nice but v.slow motion sometimes i got bored cause there is no new events in it
& some times some events wasn't logical for me
but it has heartwarming moments

about the family in this drama u can just describe it by FAMILY OF B****

the character of his ex provoked me so,
she is acting as if love should be by force she hasn't nor dignity neither pride
many times i want to pull her out of the screen & give her strong swipe -_-
his brother is so grubby
his father is heartless , awful & tough
his step mom is such an animal she is acting as if she is doing him a favor or beneficence for raising him

(i am happy for what had happened to all of them (evil laugh) ^_^) but not satisfied
i really felt with sorrow for lee seo in this drama i want to give him a huge solacing hug for this dirty family :(

Scrivo questa recensione dopo ben tre mesi dall'aver visto il drama perché avevo bisogno di tempo per metabolizzare il tutto. Forse la storia non è del tutto originale, ma ciò che questi attori hanno trasmesso è qualcosa di pazzesco. Non è un argomento facile quello della malattia, però nell'insieme il drama risulta per certi versi leggero e divertente e per altri strappalacrime e intenso. Volevo entrare nello schermo e abbracciare i protagonisti.
Ho versato lacrime in ogni singolo episodio, ma sono riuscita ad arrivare alla fine. Non so se farò mai un rewatch perché è comunque un drama un po triste ma lo consiglio a chi cerca una storia romantica, di speranza e di rivincita.

Muito além do clichê, esse dorama é sobre cura

Desavisada! Foi assim que comecei esse drama, não sabia o que me esperava, mirei em um clichê e ganhei uma baita lição de vida.
A primeira parte do drama é o que se espera, o desenrolar de um homem duro por fora e sensível por dentro, a lealdade do prota é admirável, fiel aos seus é a pessoa que não estar sempre perto mas presente quando precisa apesar de tudo. Da prota sensível e resiliente eu só posso falar: Alguém salve essa mulher!!!
Uma criança fofa e uma história comovente.
Um clichê que foge ao padrão, existe? Assiste e confira.
Recomendo fortemente que assista, não desista e se prepara para grandes emoções.

Este drama não foi nada do que eu esperava e por isto conseguiu me surpreender com quão sem graça foi.

O drama é tão morno e sem sal que foi incrível eu ter conseguido terminá-lo. O roteiro é fraco e a atuação da Uee não convence em momento algum. Este é o quarto drama que assisto com ela e posso dizer que não gosto da atuação dela. Ela não transmite emoção, não consegue se expressar está sempre com semblante fechado, ela é muito sem graça e nunca tem química com seus parceiros. Não sei porque insistem em colocá-la em dramas onde ela precisa contracenar como um casal, não sei se ela é casada ou simplesmente não gosta dos atores com quem contracena mas ela é muito séria e não convence em cenas "românticas" onde exige um pouco mais de contato físico.

Voltando ao drama... a história não cresce, fica na mesma a história toda. Sim, eu sei que não é uma história feliz, mas já vi muitos filmes com esta mesma premissa que foram realmente dramáticos e nenhum foi tão morno como este. Um drama sem emoção, com protagonistas fracos e com uma história extremamente parada, este drama não era para mim.

Enfim, não vou me prolongar mais pois este drama realmente não compensa uma longa resenha.
