Great actors doing a good drama, sadly not for me
Not my kind of drama, I don't like watching shows that intends to make me sad or cry. I like shows that promises if not a happy ending, at least a good one.. No matter how much bruised the main characters are.Reading the synopsis and some reviews, I got interested. But after a short while, it became obvious that this ain't for me.
With that being said, I can still name things that I like. For example, the actors were really good and I think they're casts pretty well. I also like the music, it sets the right tone needed in the scenes.
I cannot binge watch this one, too heavy for me and to be honest it's a bit boring. If and when, I still wanted to watch the whole show..

Have a feeling will rewatch this a few times
Writing the review before I finish watching the entire series because I am liking it so much just now, and am afraid that the ending will somehow spoil it -- and it is definitely worth the time!First of all: The acting by the main leads is phenomenal.
Second: (So far) all of the subplots make sense and fit with the overall story.
Third: It's easy and enjoyable to watch; no cringe worthy scenes or dialogues.
Fourth: The main leads are what one would call "normal" working people. The more I review, the more I discover that the this is important to me -- that the characters not be "the exceptional" or the super rich and famous -- not only is it more relatable if they are "normal", it is also inherently more interesting to me, because it then tends to focus on the actual human interactions more.
In terms of the negatives (so far): Not sure if it's a product placement issue, but the emphasis on women's makeup was a little weird in a few places. And there was the obligatory shirtless scene by the male lead (a lovely view, no doubt, but kind of out of place IMHO).
Still -- I am hoping that the ending continues to be as good because I am already looking forward to rewatching the earlier episodes.

if u r not into slow drama or u don't want to give it a try, it's not for u
i admit that first eps are kinda boring and u would gonna think if they portray in cringy the 'trauma' in the storyline (coz obv it's not just a simple word to talk about). my first impression when I saw the poster, is that I thought of light drama with a plot of having trauma.honestly, I'm not into slow drama but I realized watching several eps, the plot, the scenes, and how they portray the characters are REALISTIC. it's not having trauma and suddenly being healed bcoz of love, that's not as simple as that. other circumstances happened to their personal, social, and family life and brought them roller coaster emotions that reflect the reality of life.
in terms of acting, I really love how Junho and Jin-ah portrayed their characters so well. at first, u gonna question their chemistry, but nah, they're so good!
This drama made me cry, laugh, and cry huhu and I also learned a lot. This drama is a healing and comfort drama for me.
Life is about risk, pain, sacrifice, and love. Life is so precious. If you're reading this, I hope u overcome the thing u are going through, and be strong. Proud of u!

OMG!
I am new to Korean Dramas and watch them daily now. I watched Just Between Lovers for the first time and it definitely kept my interest. I was already heart broken when it looked like the character played by Lee Jun ho had died. To my relief his character survived. From my perspective since losing five loved ones during the last three years, the outcome of this movie made me happy. I know it is silly since it is only a movie but seeing positive outcomes keeps me watching Korean dramas. I recently discovered this actor and so far really love his movies. Great acting.Was this review helpful to you?
Please give this one a try!
This (along with Beautiful World) is one of my all time favorite dramas. I’ve rewatched this show so many times on multiple different platforms. The acting, the story, the music, the production, just EVERYTHING is sooo good. It’s a tear-jerker though so be sure to have a few tissues handy. This show is perfect for those who love romantic melodramas. It’s somber but has its light-hearted moments. It really makes you feel for the characters and understand what they’re going through.I cannot recommend this enough so please just give it a try.

Aprendi que quando algo tiver que acontecer, ela vai independente da situação, você nunca vai estar preparado, pois a vida é assim. Então em vez de dizer palavras que ferem para as pessoas que te amam, abrace-as e as ame com toda sua força, pois nunca sabemos o amanhã. E mesmo depois de tantas coisas que os abalaram, juntaram os cacos, mesmo quando não parecia possível e tentaram seguir em frente. Me doía ver eles guardavam tanto dor pra si, vi que é importante desabafar suas dores e medos pra as pessoas que amam e assim torna-los menores ao os compartilhar.Esse foram os pensamentos que eu tive após terminar esse dorama.
Não foi apenas um dorama triste, ele teve também episódios engraçados e felizes, uma hora eu ria em outra eu chorava. Adiei muito terminar de o assistir, mas valeu super a pena. E o casal principal se tornou um dos meus favoritos, tão fofos e lindos apoiando uma ao outro, nunca vou me esquecer desse casal. Eles conseguem dar um final que todos os personagens mereciam.
Enfim vou terminar por aqui essas avaliação, pois sinto que vou reviver todos os sentimentos que tive durante e escrever umas 10 páginas kkkk. Vou terminar com uma citação da falas de um dos meus personagens favoritos:
" Assim como o infortúnio vem inesperadamente. Milagres vem do nada, logo quando estamos quase desistindo de ter esperança"

my heart belongs to this kdrama
This will forever be one of my favourite kdramas to exist. I don't think everyone would agree because this kdrama really is quite unique and if you like this type of genres. This was such a tragic, bittersweet, beautiful story as well as a love story. Two people who experienced the same traumatic event yet hurting in different ways and finding each other again and making each other heal by loving each other..its just wow. So beautifully done.I feel like I could rant about this story for a long time. Its just one of a kind. The actors had so much chemistry with each other and Lee Junhos acting is just phenomenal in here especially when he got diagnosed and yelled in the middle of the street..that scene really stuck with me. Just very beautiful.
Still pissed how they made me think he would die in the end but thankfully that wasn't the case. I'm gonna spend the rest of my life thinking how beautiful their love story is.

Emotional and empathetic
Though i liked this drama for its acting and emotional story line , i dont think i can ever rewatch it .The plot was quite empathetic, but they stretched a single case for too long , they could have finished it in probably 12 episodes.
Apart from it the first break up between the lead couples was fine and understood , and i really liked the fact that the FL sticked to him and follow him around , unlike other romcoms where they easily have change of heart. But the second bteak up made me really hate the FL, it was totally uncalled for . You stick to someone who has saved u and thinks his only way to live is to be with u .. u dont leave and walk away ! And then later she lectures him that walking away is not an answer ?.. i totally dint get it !

I've been watching korean dramas since 2003 and melodramas like this are the trend before. And because I got so used to melodramas, I had been on hiatus in that category. I think The Princess' Man was the last drama that I watched before I've decided to watch a melo again. So, I saw the ratings of this one was pretty surprised it has such high ratings, so I decided to watch it.
This drama is just good for me, not very good, just good. I don't know. The actors are pretty amazing esp Jun Ho and Jin Ah, actually, they are the only reason I continued watching this. I really hate self-pity and those I'll-let-you-go-for-your-own-good scenes, but since these 2 delivered it quite well, I continued watching. Story-wise, I think it resembles the kdramas before in early 2000's wherein there are tons of connections between the actors and complications. The quality of this drama is good, I just feel like I cannot connect. Does someone here feel the same? lol
Music - I love their soundtracks! The songs make you feel nostalgic and suit the scenes really well!
Rewatch Value - ah it's a no for me. This is too heavy for me. Or maybe, this is just not my cup of tea.
