I fell in love with this drama for many things, but mainly because it made me value this life so much, and it made me rethink the way I’m treating those around me.

It ended with two questions from Yu Ri... Were you happy in this life time? And Did you make others feel happy around you? For most of us, we always think about the former, but rarely about the latter. This show made me realize how your death, and how people react to your death definitely says a lot about the way you lived your life.

Realizations aside, this story was well written. I’m always a sucker for these kind of episodes, where epilogues exist and characters do voice overs to introduce the episode and end the episode with a certain theme. These kind of dramas definitely give me a sign that the writer planned this drama well, and that It’s really worth something. And this drama definitely was worth something.

The acting was definitely top notch. There was a lot of crying that felt natural, and even humor on the side. New found respect for these actors since they were able to pull off situations that don’t really happen much in real life. Wow.

My favorite part about the whole thing was the fact that there was no antagonist. It’s simply about death, its initial and lingering effects, and how life continues to turn despite one leaving permanently. It also shows us that in our own lives, maybe, there really are no antagonists, rather only people who play different roles in our lives.

Overall, I really enjoyed watching this. It wasn’t fast paced and there were no cliche twists. Only life and death, and family.

P.s. was a bit sad for the few happy family moments between yu ri, seo woo and gang hwa. But i guess that was necessary for the plot to be effective. However, I had such a soft spot for this couple. My favorite scene of this entire sceries was when they pulled off the “what if you never died, what could have been our tomorrow?” Epilogue. This made me cry a lot.
