I really liked everything. (for those who like semi-realistic and really sad story)

At first, the first 10 eps., I was beginning to feel interested and touched by the story, but after the big reveal in ep. 11, my expectations and thoughts of how the story would turn out, have vanished. The whole narration takes a turn after we find out about Hye-Ja's real identity. From the very beginning to the end, all the actors (especially the main) portrayed every character very realistically. They gave life to the story.

All I can say without any spoilers is that I cried so, so much. It also has taught me so much about life, age, and memories which I have struggled with so much even though I am barely becoming an adult the following year. And my memories are one of the most valuable things I cherished the most, but struggle to keep track of everything, especially those that I wish I could remember. It made me look at life differently and started to understand why our parents are the way there are, and what kind of life we are living differently, yet, similarly.

Appreciate every moment in life because you never know what would happen in your lifetime like Hye-Ja. We wish we can all turn time back, but we can't. So instead, let's hold hands with who we are, the present me, the past me, and the future me should wait for us until we reach it.

"I hope you and your life mean a lot to you." - EP 9

"Live this day beautifully." - EP 12

Hye-Ja remembered her most beautiful life, and so can we.

First drama that made me cry in a long time

I won’t add any spoilers. I think you just need to go watch it. It’s a hard watch. It’s slow-paced, emotional, and you reallly need to be invested in the story. Gotta pay attention. But it’s SO worth it. Yup, go watch it. But make sure you’re in the right mood to, as it will hit ya where it hurts. Just a well-rounded, well-made, good story that depicts the beauty and pain of life. Great cast. Really, you’ll get the feels, and it won’t always be pleasant. But, I thinks that’s the whole point. Life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Go watch it!!

Moving and sensitive - worth the time

I was moved by this sensitive drama and how it tackled the difficulties of aging, grieving, and economic hardship. The sweet moments amidst the tragedy stirred my heart as well. The performances were uniformly powerful and nuanced. This show also provides an example of a big shocking twist done right: it's foreshadowed well and its reveal makes what came before richer. The drama's slow pace did test my patience in the middle but I'm glad I stuck with it and powered through my temporary boredom because taken as a whole this story really worked for me.

Heartfelt Journey Through Time and Emotions

The series explores themes of time, family, and the value of everyday moments. It is very heart-wrenching and thought-provoking story.

I started watching this series with completely different expectations, but I still loved it. It made me sad at times, but it also healed me afterward. It made me look at certain things in life from a different angle. It reminded me of my grandparents who have passed away and also made me appreciate my only grandmother who is still with us.

The actors did a great job portraying their characters. Almost every scene where Nam Joo-hyuk appeared brought tears to my eyes.

It is not an ordinary cheesy romantic comedy, but it's definitely worth watching if you are ready to try something new.

I was looking for something fun to watch and since time traveling dramas are my favorite I started watching this. I was not expecting the twist in this. Everyone should watch this. It will give you a newfound gratitude for life and family. The cast of this drama were absolutely phenomenal. The emotional scenes brought me to tears. The story could not have been written any better. It’s perfection. I want to dive deeper into the story with you here but I don’t want to ruin the drama with spoilers. But please, give this drama a chance. I’m a huge fan of the writers and the cast after this. They did such an amazing job individually and together as a team. I would watch this again, absolutely! So good!
The rewatch value would be simply to fit the pieces together from back to front and understand it with an even deeper heart and deeper sense of gratitude.
Anyone who gives this drama low stars really doesn’t understand the complexity of this story. Absolutely brilliant.

Dorama favorito pra vida.

Gostei muito como as atrizes atuaram, como se realmente elas fossem uma pessoa só. Não esperei esse plost, e chorei horrores. Amei os personagens secundários . Com um tema muito importante, Radiante traz uma mensagem linda e real sobre o tempo e vida. Emocionante. Uma história linda, me emocionei muito na primeira e segunda vez que assisti. Trazendo um ritmo leve no começo, e se passando os episodio vai se desenvolvendo o tema central da história.

"Mesmo se um dia comum for seguido de outro comum, a vida ainda vale a pena ser vivida. Não gaste seu tempo se arrependendo sobre o passado e se preocupando com o futuro, viva esse dia de hoje. Lindamente"

Una historia diferente contada de una manera muy creativa

Mucho que decir sobre esta serie, pero al final no voy a decir mucho, porque quiero que la vean, no serviria si les cuento de que se trata. A muchos no le va a gustar, es bastante lenta, al principio de desespere un poco. Pero la curiosidad de ver como terminaba la historia pudo mas que todo.
No lo voy a negar he llorado bastante, porque habian varios temas familiares y de idiosincrasia de la vida que me pegaron fuerte.
Es una historia profunda, yo sentí que a muchos personajes los describian muy bien. Los protagonistas principales actuan muy bien.
El giro final de los últimos dos capítulos te cambia toda la historia, no me lo esperaba.
Aunque no parezca me parece que esta muy bien armada si ves los detalles.
Son 12 capítulos véanla, y me cuentan.

Esse foi um drama com uma mensagem muito bonita, a delicadeza como trataram o tema da juventude e velhice foi algo realmente radiante.

Gostei bastante da protagonista tanto na sua fase jovem como idosa. Não é uma historia leve já que aborda um tema mais adulto e acredito que não vai agradar a todos os públicos, mas eu particularmente gostei do que vi, e me manteve interessada durante todos os episódios.

Mas devo dizer que não entendi nada dos 2 episódios finais, aquela reviravolta que teve deixou a minha cabeça em parafuso e sem entender direito a parte da viagem no tempo e qual a identidade da velhinha.

Apesar disso devo dizer que embora nao tenha necessariamente um final feliz nao falhou em transmitir uma mensagem poética sobre aproveitar o hoje e viver intensamente sem arrependimentos. Foi um drama bem fora do comum e talvez seja por isso que gostei tanto.

Un sinsentido total

Todavia me pregunto por qué llegué a ver hasta el último capitulo. esperando que mejore la trama terminó siendo un sinsentido total. toda una historia drama sobre drama reiterativa y tenmina con un giro que desata una una porqueria de final. Si te gustan los DRAMONES sin sentido, castigate mirando esto.

"Não gaste seu tempo se arrependendo sobre o passado e se preocupando com o futuro."

"Mesmo se um dia comum for seguido de outro comum, a vida ainda vale a pena ser vivida. Não gaste seu tempo se arrependendo sobre o passado e se preocupando com o futuro, viva esse dia de hoje. Lindamente"

Você vai rir, aí depois você vai chorar bastante e então você vai ficar com raiva, e então sua mente vai explodir com um dos melhores plot twists que já vi e depois que isso acontecer você vai chorar pra caramba. Esse dorama é um dos melhores que já assisti, sem dúvida.

Ele passa tantas lições bonitas, como o valor da vida e de ter as pessoas que amamos com a gente e gostei, principalmente, que diferente dos outros filmes, doramas, livros, eles não dizem para você sair e viver intensamente "não desperdice seus dias, viva intensamente, viaje, pule de bungee jump, torne seus dias extraordinários' e blá blá blá. Não tem aquela ideia de você tem que fazer cada dia ser intenso e só assim vai fazer valer a pena. Tudo bem se seus dias forem comuns, mesmo assim a vida é boa e vale a pena ser vivida, não se arrependa do passado e não se preocupe com o futuro.

Outra ponto em que o dorama é muito perspicaz é em mostrar como a sociedade tratam os idosos. Como os filhos tratam os pais idosos, muitos deles vendo os próprios pais como um fardo. Mostra como acham que idosos são apenas pessoas fáceis de se tirar proveito, como muitos não tem qualquer respeito com os idosos, beirando até mesmo a crueldade.

Apesar de gostar muito de todos os atores a Kim Hye Ja (quem assistiu Goong vai lembrar dela) foi quem fez todo esse dorama chegar há um outro nível. Ela foi perfeita. Nas cenas divertidas eu me pegava sorrindo com ela e nas tristes, me acabei de chorar junto. O roteiro é incrível e só tenho a agradecer a minha amiga que insistiu para que eu assistisse porque valeu super a pena.

SURPREENDENTE

Esse dorama é daqules que pegam a gente de surpresa, por isso foi tão surpreendente ao longo da história. Sem dúvidas ele ocupa um lugar no TOP 10 de doramas que passam uma mensagem impactante no final, não quero alongar nesse quesito senão vou acabar dando spoiler, mas sério é muito lindo.
Se você está em dúvida sobre assistir ou não, só assista sem expectativas, porque eu adoro quando vou sem nenhuma e acabo me apaixonando por tudo.
É uma obra prima escondida eu diria viu, pois fui só descobrir sobre esses tempos, acho que o mundo precisa descobrir essa joia.
