Sad But Beautiful Story

I have read many of the reviews of what many thought about this show, and whether certain situations were unnecessary or not. But for me, I couldn't care less about how the story should or had unfolded. After completing this drama all I have to say is it conveyed quite a powerful and meaningful message to me.

It provokes the idea of what one would do with the limited time they are given. The story begins with our main lead playing out a role for an action film in which he is scripted to die in the end but faced with his own reality of having a terminal illness he exclaims "I don't want to die like this". Of course, given his situation, this drama then ends with the death of our actual main lead in the final episode. There were a lot of complicated and unforeseen turns of events that played throughout the series but ignoring all that, we were left with the raw context that was being directed toward the viewers. What would we do if were told our time was coming to an end? In a way, the show demonstrates to us the scenario of our two main leads and how they chose to deal with their situations. Whether the choices they made were right or wrong, it became clear what each character was lacking was the acknowledgement and appreciation of each other's presence within their lives. Our male lead's mother filled with her own desire to be acknowledged by his father didn't cherish her son enough before coming to realise it, and our female lead didn't appreciate her father's effort to make a living for them enough until his sudden death. Our male lead chose to ignore his feelings or conscious and continued to live a somewhat reckless but abundeful life and therefore only focused on his success and ignoring the suffering of others who weren't of his concern. All it took to change the fates of those around him was the notice of his limited time.

Not everyone's life is a drama and therefore many forget that we face life and death on the daily basis. Each time we cross the street without the use of traffic lights, each time we stand underneath or near construction site on levels above ground level, each time we use our phones while driving, or drink our sorrows away. From the moment we awake to the moment we sleep we are on the verge of death, yet many of us live unfulfilling lifes that only continue to drain the very life within us like a terminal illness. This was what I believed this drama was conveying to its veiwers as I went from episode to episode. It was this final message that help me veiw this story as a Sad but beautiful journey of life.

If you don't believe me, don't take my word for it and try the drama yourself. Unlike me you may come to hate it or you may find it boring and too dramatic but you'll never know till you give it a try just like everything else in life.
