muhaha

one of the most boring romance film ive seen (ok not really)

the moe girl didnt save this decent film from being so badly pace piece of low budget medium of entertainment...

(negative comment...come to me ^.^)

time travel theme is the kind of stuff that i really really interest with..(ive seen dozens of time themed films..and this is the worse)
(i actually watch this coz ive seen the awesome anime which is actually the direct sequel or spiritual sequel and this is a prequel whatever....this film is the third remake or second adaption of a certain novel)

my rant

1. acting is so so trying hard school play
2. the love story in this is soso fake and force which really doesnt exsist

3. pace is slower than snail/ no big deal really happening except for the force scenarios

4. the climax is cliche as going to hell
5. the ending is fine
6. very very predictable...
7. heartwarming scene is fake
8. if you find this poo wanna be film exciting and suprising with many many twist....bring a calculator and count it and tell me how many.
ps: this is my 2nd rage review ^w^ (will edit soon without rudeness)

I might not write as much as the other reviewers but the bottom line is that this drama was simply breathtaking. not only did it bring me to tears but also that of my brother. this drama tells the story of a woman who decides to live her life to the fullest after a devastating diagnosis. Kim Sun Ah did an amazing job as Lee Yeon Jae, her acting and emotions tied the entire drama together. Not to mention the wonderful acting of Lee Dong Wook. At first i was a bit disappointed in his acting after seeing him in My Girl but as the story progresses, he begins to blossom and embody his character. I simply cannot explain in words how much this drama has touched me.
All in all, if you are doubting whether to see this drama, dont hesitate. you wont regret it.

I was rly excited about this drama b-4 it came out. I was excited b/c of the main leads. I rly enjoyed other drama's Koo Hye Sun & Choi Daniel have been in previously. So, naturally I thought this was going to be like totally awesome. Well, it wasn't totally awesome, but I did like it. The story started out strong but totally lost itself by the last epi. The writers could have done so many things w/ this but it was kinda flat. I am very disappointed w/ Koo Hye Sun b/c she could have been a little more appropriate w/ her rxn's. I understand that she was playing an emotionally stunted character but her rxn's were a little unrealistic. She is either emotionally stunted & has no clue what other's r feeling or she just did not care & reacted inappropriately. I was not rly sure, b/c she could not tell if she loved Hong Jae Yi, but she could emotionally relate to Yoo Jin. How does that make sense? I know this has a lot to do w/ the writers & the producer's but come on figure out how this character needs to be played. It was confusing to me b/c I was unsure of her emotional state.

OK! Now to move on to what I rly liked. I loved Choi Daniel's character & Park Ki Woong's character. I wanted more from them b/c they did such an awesome job playing their parts. I loved Daniel's child-like nature & Ki Woong's serious side. They did so well that it totally made up 4 the things that disappointed me.

I prolly will not watch this again just b/c it is not as awesome as it could have been. It was a good story but it could have been better. Watch it and decide 4 urself.

This is the first time that a drama has had a strong emotional effect on me. The plot could have easily taken an extremely cheesy, or overly melodramatic turn, but it didn't. I think a lot of the credit should go to Kim Sun Ah for playing the part of Lee Yeon Jae with such sincerity, though the entire supporting cast was also impressive. Her character's journey was frustrating, and depressing, but also very inspiring to watch.

Watching a story about a spinster who is told she only has a few months to live may be a turn off to some viewers, but this drama offers much more than scenes set up to make you cry. There's definitely humor, and at the heart of this drama is a great romance. Though the premise of the romance is pretty standard, Lee Dong Wook & Kim Sun Ah have amazing chemistry. There's one tango scene in particular that I would call one of the hottest scenes I've seen in any drama. Lee Dong Wook really is a talented actor, and it doesn't hurt that he looks really good in a shower.


I only have a few criticisms. I hated a couple of the main songs, which killed the mood at times, and I was unimpressed by the love theme sung by the two leads, which was the only romantic moment that felt forced/cheesy to me. The biggest criticism I have is that way too much time was spent on Seo Hyo Rim's character. Though she played her character well, she was too one-dimensional to need that much focus. Some of the scenes revolving around her plot seemed like they were put there just to fill up the time. Time could have been better spent on Uhm Ki Joon's character, who turned out to be one of my favorites.


I definitely recommend buying a few extra boxes of tissue, and watching this drama. About halfway through the tone of the drama starts to change, and I wasn't sure If watching such a tearjerker was a good idea, but the ending was so well done that it was absolutely worth it. I could see myself rewatching this for the great romantic moments, to be inspired to live life to the fullest, and because it was so beautifully shot. There's some really gorgeous cinematography that made me long to go on a vacation asap… and possibly learn to tango.

I really love this drama, I have already watched it a few times and i'm going to watch it again soon. Most people look at this drama as just a comedy, Romance, Even horror etc but not many people see the deep beautiful meaning that it gives, To love yourself, That we all have our own complexes like getting fat, Ugly, Big nose, Bad skin etc, Some people overcome them but not everyone, There is alot of people like sunako that is consumed by their complex causing that person to hate themselves and the message i got from this drama was simply to love yourself, How can you love someone if you can't love yourself first? And Kyohei showed us that having good looks is not as great as it seems, That it really is the inside that matters, I won't ever forget what Kyohei said to sunako at the begining, "You should worry more about your insides becoming uglier than your outsides" I think there is many many people that could learn a few things from this drama. I really loved that part of the story and i loved that sunako & Kyohei learned alot by loving each other, It helped them with their complexes. I also think the cast was good, They played the characters well and there was not much music in it but it was okay. I definitely recommend watching this, It may appear to be a unrealistic and silly drama at forst but if you watch it and see the hidden meanings in to than you'll see it's actually really special and unique, I believe it's a drama you won't regret watching and you may even learn some new things about life and what it means to love someone for who they are and not what they appear to be.
So watch it!

I pretty much liked the special. They managed to do it pretty well, And it has by my opinions a better ending than the actual drama had even though I liked the other ending to...

This special was just as sad as the actual drama. It had me crying under almost the full out special. The musical score was pretty good. Mostly the same music as it originally was in the Drama though with a few new songs added.

I had never seen Ueda Tatsuya in a drama before so I thought I'd give this one a try. I was drawn towards it because Ueda shaved his head for it, and also the story line seemed rather interesting. I was drawn in immediately when I started watching. The actor that stands out to me the most in this drama is Hayato Ichihara his character Ataru is really quite amazing. You can really feel his emotions for yourself, and understand his need to save his family. While Ueda is originally the reason I was drawn to this drama, I think Ichihara is the reason I'm staying on board. I've only seen 4 out of the 9 episodes but that is because they haven't subbed that far yet! Hopefully the drama keeps going as well as what I have already watched!

This story, I really had big expectations from it after having read the description. And it definately didn't let me down. After only 30 minutes watching, I was left in tears. It didn't change later either. It keeps your tears comming out. Its definately not a mustwatch if you aren't into Tearjerkers..

I'll recommend this drama to all dramafans out there who aren't afraid to shed tears. Even those who doesn't cry easily, Will be able to shed a couple of tears here..

R.I.P Kawai Keisuke..
