best drama ever! The most romantic movie I've ever watched! I don't usually recommend ppl to watch a drama, but this one is amazing. I watched this movie with my bf, we realized that in the end we would only had each other. Our relationship never been better after we watched the movie.

damn good. really the phrase 'don't judge a book by its cover' was thrown to my face.now i regret passing this the first time i noticed about it. basically you'll get through these phases while watching:

warming up->laughing out VERY loud->some warm feeling->sad(probably cry)->smile to the end with bittersweet feeling.
