Kim Hee Sun and Ahn Jae Wook have great chemistry (I need to check out their previous drama together 'Sunflower' now ^^ hehe). I enjoyed their scenes together, they were entertaining at times, romantic at times and painfully sad at times :'( Min Su (AJW) works for Ki Tae whom he saved from being kidnapped 13yrs ago - Ki Tae says Min Su is his friend - but he treats him more like a slave than a friend (a friend would never do the things Ki Tae does to Min Su...ever.) Min Su knows this but puts up with it b/c his job is ok and he gets paid well - but when he meets Yeon Ju (KHS) he starts getting tired of how Ki Tae has been treating him. As the description says he meets Yeon Ju and her friend Jung Ae at a club where they lie to each other (which they later regret). I liked Min Su, Yeon Ju, Jung Ae (once she started acting more mature) and Hee Jung (Ki Tae's sister) Lee Tae Ran plays Hee Jung and she's so young and pretty on here ^^ (yes I'm a fan) luckily she's nothing like her brother on this drama who I will describe as a despicable scumbag. No HJ is nice, kind and bold (I liked that I could like her character on this drama). I will be following more of KHS' dramas in the future too (she too is really pretty in this drama).
Music: All classic stuff, I liked it but my two favorites were: 'Last Promise' by Choi Jae Hoon and 'Sad Fate' by Choi Jae Hoon & Choi Won Suk ^^ - Other songs: 'Doesn't Matter Now' by Oh Se Hyung, 'Confession' by Oh Se Hyung & Choi Jae Hoon, 'To Me' by Jang Hyun Chul, & 'Goodbye My Love' Epilogue by Ahn Jae Wook :)
I probably won't re-watch this b/c sad melo's are something I can usually only watch once.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes classic old dramas and or are a fan of sad melodramas.

Loveless Love
The drama presented itself as a lamentable example of melodramatic flop, failing to connect the trappings of its genre to deliver an engaging narrative. While the premise held promise, the drama often leaned heavily on dirt cheap emotional manipulation to spawn the dumbest and laziest old melo tropes with no rhyme or reason to their existence. The drama was the equivalent of a nothingburger, it's so dry and bland that they had to slap the most generic random displays of a terminal illness element just to fill some of its runtime. The first most important step for anything in this drama to work was to actually prove how deep their love was, which the drama absolutely didn't attempt to do. The characters' writing was generally bad, especially the female lead, not a single character had something substantial to offer. To top it all off, the writer was clueless and made whatever events for its climax.Was this review helpful to you?
Excellent Perspective
I really don’t like movies about cheating but I think the writer did an excellent job in focusing on the impact cheating has on ones life instead of taking the usual route and focusing on the act. I also liked the way the wife is portrayed. There was realism in how she evolves and takes back her life. I was also pleased that the other woman was not your usual portrayed young sexy vixen. I think that gave even more insight into the husband’s flaws and weaknesses. And God bless the husband’s mother and his business partner. Their reaction to learning of his cheating was stellar. I have read where some did not like the ending. For me, it was again realistic. Divorce does not mean the end of love or has to be a continuation of conflict. It was slow paced and I felt could have been told in maybe 14 episodes. Someone said don’t watch this if you want to get married. I disagree. If you are thinking of getting married watch this and think about what you should or shouldn’t do when you get married.Was this review helpful to you?
Despedidas Dolorosas e Recomeços
"Goodbye My Love," da MBC, é uma história sobre a inevitabilidade das despedidas e a coragem necessária para seguir em frente. O dorama explora como os personagens lidam com a perda, seja de relacionamentos ou de entes queridos, e como encontram força para reconstruir suas vidas. É uma trama emocionalmente intensa, repleta de momentos de tristeza e superação, oferecendo uma reflexão sobre como a dor pode ser um catalisador para o crescimento pessoal.Was this review helpful to you?
