I'm not really into watching movies or series, but this show completely drew me in - I ended up watching 5 episodes in a single day!

It's incredibly well-made and engaging.

The main actors perform very naturally and convincingly.

It was a great experience, and I highly recommend it to you too.

In my opinion, anyone who has ever been in love will cry for hours watching this series and truly feel its emotional depth.

Both the script and the actors were amazing.

It's the most beautiful series I've ever seen - and the only one that captivated me this much.

Very natural and touching. I wish it had more episodes or that they would make a new season. I just can't let go of this series easily.

To say that I cried through this entire series may not sound like a positive review but I truly loved it. It touched me so deeply that I got completely immersed in it.

I am still emotionally wrecked by this drama. It has been a long time since I have been this affected by a K-drama (should I say K-trauma?) Grieving is both universal and uniquely personal. This story managed to explore the many layers of grief and healing in such a beautiful, thoughtful way.

I was unfamiliar with either of the main leads before watching this but am now a huge fan of both. So talented! It is so great to see a female lead whose character is so real and fully developed.

This is my first review, but I felt I had to because this show was just so good. I cried so much, but I also laughed and it was just so lovely. It covers loss, grief, love, and depression. I felt the heartbreak and the sorrow and the want to disappear because the leads did such a phenomenal job. It's only six episodes, and each episode is a masterpiece. I hope more people watch it and give it the love and appreciation it deserves. Beautifully acted, beautifully shot, and beautiful soundtrack. I am happy that I watched it, and will probably recommend it to all my kdrama friends and family. I hope they'll love it just as much as me.

The much-anticipated school drama is here. Since the announcement, Way Back Love has been drawing attention from the audience.

The story opens on a poignant note. Pachinko Girl Kim Min Ha is lying on the floor, and soon the lens begins in a shabby place. The first episode ends with the heart-rending revelation that Kim Gam Roo is already dead.

This is a six-episode mini-series. Adapted from the web novel "A week before I die", the story journeys through the secluded life of Hui Wan, who has stopped living her life after the untimely death of Kim Gam Roo. What started as a prank turned out to be a fate-changing game for these high school students. Hui Wan failed to forgive herself till one day, Kim Gam Roo appeared at her doorstep as a grim reaper.

It is difficult to portray a convincing story through the lens of supernatural powers. And here, the male lead is dead even before the story opens its first chapter. No additional melodrama has been used as a catalyst for the tale. The concept of using either lead or dead is old, but the way of portraying the journey is fresh.

Life goes on even when your loved one is dead. You find things to hold on to as you traverse through your challenges. The story teaches the lesson of learning to forgive under every circumstance. And people should start by forgiving themselves.

This is the sort of drama that the Koreans do best. It's just beautiful. The director and screenwriter get just about everything right and the young cast do an amazing job. Kim Min ha in particular is mesmerising. Her portrayal of love, grief and depression is so moving. You almost feel her pain yourself. She really is a great actress (Pachinko, Light Shop - both highly recommended) with fantastic range.

I had no idea what I was getting into ahead of watching this, so I'm issuing a warning. Buy a box of tissues because there are scenes that are heart-rending. The heartbreak is so worth it though because the writing and performances will stay with me for a very long time.

I really hope this reaches a much wider audience because it's up there with some of the best Korean dramas of recent years.
