Amazing Actors, Full of Passion
I came to watch after watching Something in the Rain and One Spring Night. I read some reviews mentioning this drama and boy did it not disappoint. I have added this to my long list of rewatch value.I had not watched any dramas with Yoo Ah In and now I am here for him. Hoping to see more of him in the future because WOW what tremendous acting he brought. We have some mediocre ones, and some okay ones. But he was top notch in this drama. Also became a fan of Kim Hee Ae and looking to watch some of her dramas as well.
The story was so believable, there was no hesitation in their acting, the chemistry was there, the passion was there and you can tell they both really surrendered to their roles. I was glad to see that the end was fair and they did not give up on their love. I am all for true love and fighting for eachother. The husband was a prick and glad that relationship came to and end. Recommend this watch!!

Recommended watch
This has been on my watchlist for a while and when I saw it was leaving Netflix I jumped on the chance to watch it before it is gone. Thankfully I did not read the reviews before watching it. Only after finishing did I skim some of them and I understand the perspective that maybe this didn't have a "message". It reminds me of J-drama where it depicts reality and wont always carry a message or lesson. AND THAT IS OK!Personally I connected so much with this drama, first because I have a close family member who also became a quadriplegic after an accident, so I can grieve the loss of what could have been. Of the difficulties and the process of healing physically, emotionally and even the healing that wont ever happen but you learn to accept so you can have some peace. This circled back towards the end when Ju-ran was sick and he comforted her as well. I learned that crying is part of being comforted, I dont have to always smile and feel relief. It is ok to cry as it is a type of comfort.
I've also been through a gestational loss so I could kind of understand and cry along with Yeong-jae. Oh then pain! Of course it's nice to have a happy ending where they dont suffer any losses, and end up together without much pain. But for me this was a therapy session, feeling understood and seen through a drama. I appreciated this so much and I needed a good crying session.

Very worth watch
Like the first review mentions, as it comes with J-dramas, there's very quirky and unusual characters.Someone mentioned that if can just watch episode 1-2 and then jump forward to the last 2 episodes. I strongly disagree, you miss all of the details and emotions coming from all the different characters.
One of the details I love from J-dramas is how unapologetic they are about the reality, pain of marriage for example and unromantic they portrayed having in-laws which in this case they were real people with good hearts but had a lot of misfortune and created a lot of trouble for the lawyer husband in this case. But he loved her so much that he vowed to be there for her regardless of how things turned out and that is love. Love is beautiful but it can also bring a lot of pain and sacrifice. And that is life. I enjoyed every episode and loving j-dramas even more

I did not become bored
I laughed a bunch but also cried with this story in various moments. The development of the story was very realistic, and I related to the story very strongly because I’m in my thirties and have the same sentiments around career development, relationships with parents, siblings, friendships and romances. I’m saving the OST to my playlist. The songs were lively. The casting was on point and I enjoyed getting to see each of them. Now I’m wondering why I haven’t seen this drama earlier. Give it a watch!Was this review helpful to you?
Slice of Life, Fun Watch
This was a very fun and quick watch! I recommend anyone looking for something to get through quickly.Actors were on point, music was entertaining. The story kept reeling me in, especially the developing investigation. Loved it! There wasnt anything I disliked, there were moments where they build up momentum and I was sitting on the edge of my chair, to only discover it wasn't all that bad, good ending!

So worth it. Why only 7.5 stars? 10 for me!
This was such a sweet story of overcoming psychological struggles. If you like mental health dramas, this was nice to see how much work he needed to put in to overcome the illness/trauma. Adding to my list of rewatch for the future ;)Never watched a drama with this main lead before and I enjoyed it for sure! FL is also a good one, Ive watched my demon and moonlight with Park Bo Gum. She is good! Not sure why this drama is so underrated
