watch at the risk of your health
oh my goodness this was emotional. i can't explain how much i adore this movie. it is one of those movies to me that really opens my eyes to the world and pushes me to adventure more and take care of my life. the story was quite cliche for a sad ktrauma but i ugly sobbed. i went into it having read a really watered down summary so i didn't even know jaw-won had a heart condition until i watched the movie and saw how impacted he was running after seo-yoon on the bus. i forever treasure them 💚Was this review helpful to you?

i am happily married to this show. forever.
somehow, i always find my way back to this series. i've said this before but this series navigates love in every kind of way soso beautifully im still stunned."myung-ha, you don't have to go through everything by yourself anymore."
this shows the kind of love that surrounds the average person - the love of support. the fact that 29 year old tae myung-ha had forms of depression and ended up drowning himself but then regretted it at the last second and begged to stay in death shows that we should all be given chances - and give life a chance to improve and to find love in all forms.
"i want to stay. i want to stay. with yeo-woon"
this shows the intense affection - and eventually love - myung-ha possesses for yeo-woon and how experiencing life through his younger self helped him learn to love and find happiness in the small things. he at first rejected yeo-woon but started to fall for him. every time i watch the scene of them on the rooftop and myung-ha says "i love you cha yeo-woon" under his breath, i still giggle. one of my favourite bits.
"but cha yeo-woon is still unhappy / that's just life / but being fated to live that kind of life, is just so unfair."
i love this scene. it shows not only the perspective of myung-ha on love and society, it depicts the savage way some people are just left alone and don't get their happy ending. they are pushed away and are forgotten. this series brings the idea of including everybody and finding your own unexpected happy ending.
as i've said before - this series is not about a game. i love to think of it as the game is a message to its viewers about the events and roads of life. the "system errors" that myung-ha experiences pop up when events in any human being's life happens - the first i love you, the tragedy of picking between people, feeling rejection and loneliness.
the fact that this concept was all to make tae myung-ha love himself and find happiness breaks me everytime - it was never about cha yeo-woon (no offence, he's still so adorable and so key to the story).
"and i died like that on that day. but i regretted it at the last minute. regretting everything."
"i wish that i would disappear"
these are spoken by 29 year old tae myung-ha, who shows strong signs of depression and ends up drowning himself, though regretting it at the last minute. this shows a darker side to the human mind - that it can twist and turn against it's own body if it experiences unpleasant emotions and events. for tae myung-ha, being alone and rejected by his mother is enough to be gone. he is then given a chance to enjoy life again and find that happiness that had disappeared. it sends a message that even if the darkest of tunnels, you can still find a light.
i love this series with everything because not only are cha yeo-woon and tae myung-ha SO ADORABLE, it discusses every form of love: romantic, platonic, relative - everything. it also has darker topics as shown by senior tae myung-ha who is entirely alone and abandoned.
dare i say best kbl i've ever seen and probably will ever see. yes, i do dare.
"senior. i get it now why you like the sea. im starting to like it too."
it was never about the sea...👨❤️💋👨
