I like the concept of the drama and the way slowly and slowly, one -one person joined with lead actress in order to wake up phoenix but before they wake it those one by one die that make me felt so bad because I emotionally connected with these characters , especially in the last scene when pie -pie and Bai Li conversation make me cry ,I literally cried ..that scene connect me so badly with the characters and then pie ---pie died ,oh god can't handle that scene.i think it is the first Chinese drama which make me cry .for this it's hats off to these two person that they make the character so real......
The drama is good but according to my views the director should add one more episode to show how he knew her and everybody forget her ...then only it become perfect...
About acting pie-pie and Bai Li acting is super duper hit other supporting actor also did a great job ....
It's worth watching.

Not happy with the conclusion

After investing 40 episodes into the drama, the ending was far from satisfying. It began on a promising note, with the portrayal of a king on one side and an innocent boy on the other, two personas seemingly distinct but inherently connected. However, as the story unfolded, the middle portion dragged on for 25 episodes, leaving much to be desired. Amidst the monotony, there were occasional glimpses of brilliance, but as the conclusion approached, hopes for a happy ending were dashed. Instead, the drama concluded with a disappointing finale, leaving viewers with an open-ended conclusion and the burden of imagining their own resolution.

Bare to handle the sad ending,then go for it.

There is little impact in the story. The male protagonist discovers that he is going to die due to a genetic disease, so he embarks on a journey to find his biological father. He takes the female protagonist, who is also his ex, along with him, but the reason for this is unclear, even to him. Despite a long search, he fails to find his father. However, during this journey, they both fall in love with each other once again. The story also explores how the female protagonist copes with the truth of his impending death and how he eventually learns about his father. Despite the lack of a powerful script, the actors and direction make the drama impactful. The show captivates the audience with its gripping openings and endings in each episode. Out of curiosity, I watched it all in one go.

I will praise all the songs. they were all too good .

Still I prefer Chinese as well as korean version

I watched all the version of this story except Taiwanese. My first one was Boys over flower and I liked it the most but when I saw Meteor garden I liked it in the same way.
Meteor garden had the same theme of the story but they presented it in a very different way . I felt after watching it that something is missing in Boys over flower which this story had fulfilled . Actually I always wanted to see female lead's friend love story should had a good ending which had shown by Meteor garden.
One more thing I always wanted to see that 2nd male lead also has love partner with the ending of the story. I hope if somebody make the drama once again . That drama has a love story of all F4s .
About this drama as it had less episodes as compared to other version so naturally many scenes which they think were unimportant had not shown that is okay but still I felt many things were missing or I expect more from this drama . That's why I don't like it . I didn't like the acting of female lead ,second one was better than her . The one who played the character of hers friend. Sometime I felt the first male lead was doing overacting. That also spoiled the mood to watch the drama . The only reason I continued to watch this drama because I like the story and what I expect from other versions which had not shown I expect that I would see in this drama but nothing had happened .

Boring.

What I liked most about the entire drama was Jang Ki Yong’s smile. Unfortunately, the weak storyline overshadowed even the best acting. There were no truly happy or uplifting moments, and after the first three or four episodes, every character seemed lost, struggling with their own challenges.

I understand that life isn’t perfect and that ups and downs are a part of everyone's journey. However, dramas are meant for entertainment, and unless they are based on a true story, there’s no need to make the plot so unnecessarily complicated. To make things worse, they even messed up the ending.

Like many viewers, I had high hopes for the main couple. Despite their story being overly complicated by unnecessary consequences, I still hoped for a better or at least a satisfying ending. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. I don’t know how others feel, but the ending didn’t work for me, and it left me feeling unsatisfied.

Crying

Praise of Death (or Hymn of Death) is a heart-wrenching drama based on a true story, which I wasn’t aware of until watching it. Though I wished for a happy ending for the characters, the fact that it’s based on real events left the writer no choice. The story is truly tragic, and I found myself crying during the last scene, especially when the male protagonist delivered his inner monologue while dancing with his lover. He reflected on how important she had become in his life, how deeply they were connected, and how much he cherished every moment spent with her—all while crying, which moved me to tears as well.

The tragedy didn’t only affect the two lovers but also his wife, who suffered silently. The real blame for their fate lies with his father. He was a dutiful son, and his father took advantage of that obedience, marrying him off at a young age and never allowing him any freedom. When he finally got the chance to live life on his own terms, he developed feelings for another woman. Despite being married, he never crossed any boundaries or expressed his deep love for her, bearing the pain in silence. On the other hand, the woman longed to share her feelings with him but was stopped when she learned the truth about his marriage. She quietly left his house, and that’s when their sorrowful love story began.

Lee Jong Suk's acting was exceptional. His performance was so calm and realistic that it felt like these events were unfolding in real time. I was deeply moved by his portrayal, and once again, I’ve become a fan of his acting.

While I don’t usually like sad endings, knowing that this is what actually happened to them makes it all the more heartbreaking.

I don't like the ending

I was disappointed with the ending of the drama.

However, I still enjoyed watching it, mainly because of the excellent acting by the actors, even the supporting cast. The chemistry between the main and second leads was great, and surprisingly, even the chemistry between their bodyguards was enjoyable to watch.

The drama had many hilarious moments that kept me entertained throughout. The first male lead was adorable, and the first female lead's acting was exceptional.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the drama, despite the story not making much sense. It's just the ending that left me feeling disappointed.

What is the sense to show the year 2074?

Only for the dialogue that stated ,if anyone of the two leave then other one wil reach to them .
There were several scenes that touched the audience deeply. For instance, when the husband, after deciding to divorce his wife, discovers she is dying, he chooses not to divorce her out of pity. He realizes the depth of his annoyance with her but decides to stay by her side during her final moments, which secretly brings him happiness.

Additionally, I found the chemistry between the second leads more captivating than that of the main leads. Especially, Hong Soo Cheol's performance was exceptional; he was truly outstanding.

Another memorable moment was when their love story finally began to unfold.

The subplot involving the female lead, who was the owner of a shopping mall, and her struggles to save it, added depth to the story.

Despite many engaging scenes, something felt lacking in the overall storytelling.

The chemistry between the leads adds depth to the storyline, making it an overall enjoyable drama.

Emotional one

The drama was incredibly emotional, especially in the last episodes where the male lead's helplessness and tears moved me to tears as well. His portrayal of pain was so convincing that I truly felt the character's anguish. Despite the sadness of the ending, it provided closure to the story in a poignant manner. It was disheartening to see that despite being together since childhood, the characters never expressed their feelings for each other until it was too late. Nonetheless, it was a profoundly touching story. I would recommend it to those who don't mind a sad ending. The acting was exceptional and I also appreciated the portrayal of the male lead's sister character.
