Kim Woon Bin shone among the mess of this melodrama

Shin Joon Young (Kim Woo Bin) and Noh Eul (Bae Suzy) were high school sweethearts who broke up but reunite years later as an idol actor and a filmmaker. As they work together filming his documentary, Joon Young endeavors to mend their relationship and win her heart back.

This is not really a romance, rather a potential romance with a melodramatic back story turns into a revenge mission. I found this revenge plot was really dull and not thrilling, but I watched it to the end for Joon Young. If someone can get crowned for portraying a terminally ill person, Kim Woo Bin deserves it! I think his character could easily be messed up due to over-the-top drama, but he played the charming jerk persona of Joon Yeong just perfectly, from confident smirk to ugly tears to polarizing breakdown due to his growing illness, how heartbreaking and believable.

Though his story was so sad, I did not cry the whole time watching this. How come? I felt annoyed with No Eul and her motivation, she's a hassle and keep making reckless decisions. This is not to fault Suzy because she has great chemistry with Woo Bin. It's her character I couldn't sympathize with despite her struggles. Finally, it was a good ending, it felt justified and concluded. Something that I've been missing a lot in dramas in these recent years.
