With the drama synopsis looks so gloomy, its easy to skip this gem drama. As I don't even look at it first. But how I was wrong, this drama is so moving. The storyline is pretty strong with the setting of hospice and first love gone wrong case. All the side characters story are deeply moving and keep me interested enough to continue watching. Of course, the slowburn romance between the doctor and the chef is so addictive. Yoon Kye Sang & Ha Ji Won played so well here in depicting the forbidden love between them, due to misunderstanding & wrong timing.
Perhaps, there some minus to this drama. Like the family background competition which is so common in k-drama. And the formula of additional tragedies in the start of the drama is a bit too much.
Overall, this is a beautiful drama. And have I mentioned it? The OST is to die for! Try it Special no 7 by Yubin. And of course the OST that personally sang by the 2 leads. YOU & I.

My Favourite Drama of 2020
I seldom watched J - dorama, as found their acting sometimes a bit awkward. But not with this one. This is totally a gem hidden. Why I said it is hidden? Check out the poster, it looked so bland. I kept telling friends to start watching this, as they're not so informed about this drama.So when I tried the ep 1, I thought the President a bit overbearing at first. But he's a classic tsundere male lead. By end of ep 1, I already fell for him. As he send her home in rainy days with small umbrella and his shoulder was wet too as result of covering her.
As the story progress they also introduced more side characters , which all quite likeable. Some colleague might be questionable with their intention. But its kept the drama interesting.
There is character progress for all of them. The male lead perhaps will be criticized for the moral value or lean towards infidelity, as he's so oblivious to his feelings which cause people around him to suffer. But as this is also romcom, actually some portion become quite funny.
The chemistry of the lead is TOP NOTCH. The way they looked to each other and just smile to each other, enough to give me a lot of butterflies. This is my first drama of Tomoya Nakamura-san, and I straight away become his fans. While Nana Mori is a new actress whose very promising.
The ending is very diabetic induced. But it's in a good way. It gave a perfect closure for the drama.
So, for this Christmas, try it!!! It's the best thing I found in this gloomy 2020, aside than Hospital Playlist & Chocolate. (YES, I'm a bit in drama slump)

This drama could do even better, had the writing and directing changed for some portion. The theme of the drama could be made clearer at the beginning, the love triangle focus is a bit unnecessary in my opinion. As the lead pair love is very strong with enough background and history, it was given so less screen time. The story focus so much on the life of the secretary and around her family. However her story and her character didnt make me rooting enough for her development. And i was dissapointed at the back & forth trying to confusing the viewers on whos the end game pair.
The lead pair acting & story was so well done & beautiful. Their parting & meeting again was full of anguish & despair, however its so delightful to watch at the same time.
The background ost was so classic and great companion when the story got darker & sad.
Theres 2 conclusion i got from this drama : 1. Real love doesnt always go smooth, and may take major big detour, before one found another.
2. Your growth as person & in career may take various efforts & repeated trial. Before you can considered yourself success.
I wish they able to make that 2 points clear in equally enough screen time.
Lastly, i hope you watch with open mind, and you might agree or disagree with my opinion. Its great drama nevertheless.
