So I ultimately watched Uncontrollably Fond because of the OST and short clips which sounded and looked really good on Youtube. In the past, I came across Uncontrollably Fond and moved past it because it's tagged as a tragedy, which is not a genre I frequent. Yes, Uncontrollably Fond is a tragedy, but I don't regret one second of it (which is really odd and rare for me, since I don't really like tragedies...)
This was one of those dramas that was nearly perfect. It had it's flaws that I don't really feel are worth mentioning because inevitably, they will deter you from watching this. Let me tell you why you should watch it.
Uncontrollably Fond proves that you can still love, even if you are going to die soon. It reminds you that it's never too late to remedy relationships that need fixing. It shows us that while we all have our flaws, we are all loved by others in different ways. And we will all be missed. And we all die some day.
I watched this drama with my mother who got sucked in about half way through the drama. Yes, parts of this drama can be a bit slow and some of the decisions our MC's make can be viewed as particularly frustrating, but those things didn't bother me. I loved watching them relive memories that gave us more details to their past. I loved watching the MC's fall in love again. I loved the love our main girl had for her little brother. I loved the love demonstrated between mother and son. I loved watching the bad guys get crushed. I loved seeing karma finally dishing out what was due.
Yes, I chocked up many times and SOBBED (literally, wailed in my living room along with my poor mother who had to take a nap afterwards because she was so tired from crying), but it was all because of love. Because of the mother's and son's love. Because of the little brother's love. Because of the main character's love for each other.
Uncontrollably Fond is similar to A Walk to Remember. We know that the main character is going to die in the end. There's no miracle or magic or experimental cure. It's life. And it was shown in such a delicate way that I couldn't help but appreciate this drama. The ending wraps up everything so well. I would have been happier with a baby in the end, but to see that everyone had grieved and remembered him, but moved on to live their lives sat well with me. Just like in the beginning of A Walk to Remember, our MC was in troublesome circumstances and the other MC came in and helped change their lives around for the better.
