Half of a half

This is my very first IMDB review and it's all because I want to share to you how beautiful this drama is. The actors, the acting, the cinematography, locations, pacing, framing, THE music, the premise, everything. It deserves to be praised. Though they cut the episodes, it wrapped up beautifully. Just enough.

Certainly not for everyone. But give it a chance, you'll love it.

Having heard that this series didn't do as well as expected on Korean TV, I was prepared for disappointment. Turned out to be a lovely combination of beautifully nuanced performances, well written script, and believable characters and situations. Storyline dealt skillfully with love, friendship, longing, separation, despair, loss, and guilt. I'm a huge fan of K-Dramas (Mr. Sunshine, Korean Odyssey, and Goblin being three of my favs). This program was a nice change of pace from the histrionics and over-the-top characters in some of the unbelievable, but thoroughly enjoyable, Korean programs available for streaming. The piano interludes were also a pleasure. PS, would kill for the AI capability (if it existed) that plays an important role in the emotional progression of the main characters.

I rarely write a review for a drama. But in my opinion, this drama deserves to be appreciated. This drama sounds slow but all the characters are well explained. This drama is very refreshing because we can get involved in their stories, both those that makes us smile and cry with their characters

Actually i never give review to any drama that i ever watched. But this drama really deserving a review. This drama so fascinating and realistic. And in my opinion, the plot, the developing feelings between the two main roles is beautiful and not too fast. Also, this drama need more support, recognition. This drama really worth to watch.

It's understandable why they cut the number of episodes and why the ratings weren't so good. The beginning is undeniably slow, a little weird, and confusing, and you end up with more questions than answers. I was still kind of lost by around the 4th and 5th episodes.

BUT once you get past that, you realize that this is actually a really well thought out story. It all comes together toward the end. There's a consistent theme of dealing with grief and eventually overcoming it. The visuals (cinematography, locations, colors) are just absolutely beautiful, and the feels from the soundtracks are going to stay with me for a while. The acting is realistic and never over the top.

Overall, I'd give this a rating of 8.5. Recommended for those looking for a meaningful show to watch.
