I dont want a sequal, I just want one more episode to warp up this misuderstanding.

The drama is a beautiful pain.

The CGI, costume and the casts are beautiful. The torture was too much for health but it was needed to paint a picture of how the characters have to go through such hardship in order to be freed to love each other.

I both hate and love Chang An's character as he left a huge scar for the fans of the drama. He is such a gentle and yet so stubborn that nobody can bend his will.

I love how the plot turned from a girl who is in love to a girl who wants nothing to do with love as the betrayal and the pain of losing the people that you care so much are more potent than her own physical pain.

I didn't expect it that I am going to love it.

I had in the slum for Kdrama recently, and pick this one by chance looking for cheese school romance, but found gold, if not diamond instead.
And this drama made me obsessed with Lee Do Hyun. I have never put any thought about this guy before, damn don't even realize he was Mr. Butterfly in Hotel de Luna up until I search him up.

The soul of the drama is Ko Woo Young played beautifully by Lee Do Hyun. I sometimes forget that he is THAT young and yet he can materialize the character of a 36-year-old protective father who loves his children more than everything in his life. By the way, he is 25 yo but he played both roles perfectly (an 18 yo student outside and 36 yo father inside).

The best parts of the drama are the flashbacks of how the struggles of these young parents and how Woo Young tried his best to be close to his children. All these heartwarming scenes made me grabbed more tissue than I should. And the scenes with their respective parent in-law broke me into storm of cries.
I was a little thrown out by the 'love story' tho. How ironic, I came to watch romantic drama and yet find the romance in this drama has less value than the main idea of "love your family".

And the OST, gosh... This drama is about finding yourself back. More than often things in life don't go as we planned them to be and the hardship that we went through made us forget. We often forget the person that we are used to be, forget the reasons why we love our loved ones. AND everytime the song HELLO came out in the background, I felt the pang of pain. As if the song tries to say "hello again" to the old us that we have often forgotten. The old us who love everyone and was loved by everyone.

Would I re-watch it? Maybe not. I will remember (and probably go to Youtube to watch) those scenes that Lee Do Hyun brought to screen on what truly a father love is.
