A much needed feel-good

At first I was sceptical about this show and I didn't want to bother with it since I was busy. One day I really needed to relax and I decided to give the show a try since I had been feeling kind of meh about a lot of BL's coming out. I think 3 episodes were out and I binged them and then got really sad I couldn't watch any more.

The storyline isn't revolutionary and I don't think it's that deep either, however I rate things, shows, books, whatever, entirely on how much I enjoyed it and I thouroughly enjoyed this story. It's very wholesome and I feel like the stresslevels are very low. There aren't that many stakes and it was just what I needed. There were some scenes where I got quite moved.

I was pleasantly surprised with the acting since it was new actors and I loved the soundtrack, I feel like it perfectly matched the show and its vibe.

This show filled a My School President shaped hole in my heart and I could 100% see myself rewatching this show if I need something lighthearted, fun and cute.

A true masterpiece

I originally watched this show a couple months after it had come out. I had wanted a chill drama to watch a little bit of after a long day at work. Instead I was totally hooked immediately. This drama took my breath away and I could not stop crying whilst watching it, but not all the tears were purely from sadness. This show holds a very special place in my heart because of how beautiful and heartwrenching it is. There is a word in my native language that I rarely hear meantioned in English but it feels like it perfectly describes this show. The word basically means even if something is sad or bad you still WANT to live and to find the happiness and beautiful parts of life. That is this show.

The way the characters get to grow closer whilst they also learn something from the deceased is my favourite part of the drama. To get to learn their life stories whilst they learn about each other and grow together is so well made. The acting, the script, the pacing, everything is perfectly made. Even the sad and traumatic parts are portrayed in a way that makes you sad but does not take away your desire to watch the rest of the drama.

Touching on the acting real quick, I think this is some of the best acting I've seen in a while. The actor who plays the uncle does an amazing job at portraying the different sides and the development of his character. I think particularly the scene where he finds the shoes is a showstopper of a scene. The guy who plays Geu-ru does a terrific job as well. As someone who is very close with a lot of people on the autism spectrum I have to admit I have never watched a show that handles the topic as well as this does and max credits to him for being able to do that at such a young age.

I have watched the show several times and I never get bored (yet I cry every time), this show is a solid 10/10 more than any show or movie has ever been for me. I recommend this to people over and over again.

To everyone who worked on this project, A BIG THANK YOU!
