This movie is unexpectedly more heartbreaking than I thought it would be. A film where a family have to overcome a seemingly insuperable emotional obstacle. Strong performances from the actors especially from Song Hye-Kyo. This movie will leave you emotionally unstable.

I watched this movie even though it didn't have any reviews after seeing the subject line. The story revolves around a family of three, with the son having Progeria. A disease that makes you grow 10 times faster and affects 1 in 30 million.

Mi-ra and Dae-soo were teenage lovers and conceived Ah-reum at a tender age of 17, who now suffers from Progeria. The film doesn't focus much on anything else and derives its plot mainly from the relation that the three leads share. It surprisingly doesn't focus much on the "teenage parent angle" to make the film sappy and I have to say it works brilliantly. The connection between different characters is explored deeply and is presented with immaculate perfection. We see the parents reminiscing about their old life as a singer and an athlete before they had a child. Whereas Ah-reum struggles to come to terms with his approaching death while trying to take in as much as he can before he passes on to another life.

The actors do a very convincing job and you start feeling for them right from the beginning. While the kid on his death bed wrenches your heart the director makes sure that his quips make you laugh the exact next moment. How he connects to the world around him was a delight to watch. You see him as a super positive person in the beginning and also as a scared and irritated being as he approaches his premature end.

My only gripe was with the characters of teenage Mi-ra and Dae-soo. You shouldn't make people in their mid 30's play teenagers. It looked to evident and distasteful. Apart from this the movie was a delight to watch and I would recommend it to everyone.

So guys, before you watch this, better prepare a pack of tissues or you'll regret it.

It's a good movie. It feels like it can knock your heart to have a beautiful life ahead. I was crying so hard while watching this alone😭

The actors and actresses are good. Their acting was amazing.

I'm a little bit sad because i know this movie so late. I mean it was released 4 years ago, and I just watch this now.

Anyway keep watching guys!

There just isnt anything they could have done to make this any better, not all KD are silly romcoms.

The performance from this kid will stay with me.

My Brilliant Life tells the poignant story of a teenage boy, Ah-reum, who suffers from progeria, a rare genetic condition that causes rapid aging. Despite his young age, his body ages much faster than normal, and as a result, he lives with the knowledge that his life will be shorter than his peers. The film explores the relationship between Ah-reum and his youthful parents, who had him when they were just teenagers themselves. It's a touching portrayal of a family's love and the inevitable heartbreak that comes with knowing that time is running out.

The ending of My Brilliant Life is both sad and beautiful. As Ah-reum's condition worsens, his parents must come to terms with the reality of losing their son. The film captures the precious moments they share, emphasizing the importance of cherishing the time we have with our loved ones. The bittersweet tone of the ending, where Ah-reum's life comes to a close, leaves a lingering sadness. It's a reminder of the fragility of life and the profound impact of familial love, making this film a moving emotional experience.
