Faithing May 09 2026 8:38 am This movie was so heart warming. I did not expect to try so much ? I thought it was so beautiful put together - from the cinematography to the colours and the storyline. The main leads had so much chemistry and they did such an amazing job. Definitely one of my favourite movies of all.

Ella Apr 29 2026 9:27 pm I cried while watch this The emotions and them chemistry was so real I was skeptical at first because of the color at the beginning But I cried my heart out when I found out what it represented

Im just going to cook up an ending in my head thi Because I can’t accept that for my mental health

Heera Apr 24 2026 11:50 am Althought this story line is wayyy overused in film and drama industry the execution of it was very beautiful. the contrast of colours in the cinematography, the open endedness, the script writing wasn't too corny or clichéd the directorial acting was in accordance to a well made drama that differentiates it from an average web drama. If you liked this sort of story I highly suggest watching the Chinese drama "such a good love" similar yet distinct story of a young couple and dreams

Erra Apr 19 2026 12:12 pm This movie is sooo good. It makes me cry a lot... The part where eun so ask "what ifs" really makes me hard to breathe. The chemistry between FL and ML is sooo great, their emotions is real. This movie needs more recognition cause every element in this movie is amazing. I love the ending that the characters can achieve their dreams. Some way it has happy ending. Love it. Recommended.

Samantha Apr 17 2026 12:36 pm Just finished watching it and I must say, it's one of those movies that doesn't really have to have the happily ever after ending to be good. The what ifs probably consumed his thoughts, but if you'll look on the brighter side, they still achieved their dreams. Imagine if Jeong Won did not pursue her dreams and still just making ends meet then she runs to Eun Ho again? The greater pain she would feel knowing that he gets better after leaving him like she is the reason why he didn't succeed. This movie made me cry and feel better at the same time. And I truly believe that things really happen for a reason.

Lovelove Mar 04 2026 10:22 am @Runi- you’re so correct about what u wrote. I cried from when u heard his daughter talking to him. I cried when they both cried as he was doing is “what if” questions, I cried when she thanked him for being a home to her, I cried when she read d letter from his dad. I cried reasoning what would have happened if she hadn’t left. Frustration held him to his throat.

Runi Mar 03 2026 12:59 pm this was amazing yet I felt like I didn't enjoy it even though I love every moments of it. At first it was like the other coming of ages movies cute , funny , enjoyable and in the middle things started going south and even then it was still good. The more time has passed watching this movie the more heavier your chest will feel. You won't cry or be sad. Your chest will feel tight and tighter. Only when it end you'll cry and let go of everything.

Janette O'Byrne Jan 25 2026 5:34 am Watched it today. The two leads were amazing. KKH is such a great actor who has been very underrated. This movie left me with so many mixed feelings. I think a lot of us can really relate to the story and looked back at our own lives. What could have been ...

country bumpkin Jan 19 2026 8:08 am just watch the short clip. i couldn't recall that i have ever been instantly captivated by a short clip like this before. i repeated so many times and ended up asking myself what is wrong with me. and started trying to figure out why the clip captivated me so much. the music, the subtle voice of the singer, the lyrics, the rhyme, and their visuals. i still dunno where to watch the movie. smh

Janette O'Byrne Jan 02 2026 10:02 pm I can't wait to see KKH in a lead role in a Romantic drama. He has appraise been cast as the villain or someone with a dad ending. I think this one will be good, the vibe from the poster is amazing.
