Waterfall of TEARS

This series wasn't originally on my radar but I saw a tiktok video of Joo Hee and Hyeon Joon's meet cute that I decided to check this one out. In terms of my original plan of seeing a cute noona romance, I watched a melodrama instead.

STORY
As opposed to majority of the people in the comments section, I didn't find the friendship arc lacking. Adult friendships are supposed to be like that. The only reason they still see each other as often as that because they're all unmarried at 39. I did find this show pretty slow (admittedly I watched most of it at 1.5x speed) and I'd rather see more screentime on Joo Hee than Seon-u and his sister. Chan-young's story is the one that made me cry a river. Since this is a melodrama, they should've just put full force on the melo and explored more on Chan-young's struggle with the illness.

ACTING/CAST
Perfect! All of them nailed their roles perfectly. I don't think I'll cry as much as I did if it wasn't for the on point acting of everyone in this cast. Hats off for the perfect casting!

MUSIC
I can't even remember any of the songs because most of the time I'm watching, I was crying.

REWATCH
I will never be able to rewatch this one unless I want to torture myself. I just won't have the strength to rewatch a series that's so emotionally draining.

This is melodrama and slice of life combined so if you dislike either of those then this series is not for you. It's a slow show and definitely not for binge watching. Still kinda sad I wasn't able to see an amazing noona romance storyline lol.
