49 Days ended a few days ago but my heart is still heavy with all the crying and angst.
I so love the story and pace, with each episode leaving you on the edge, wanting for the days to move a little faster to watch the next one.
I wanted to write about it every episode but I felt I cannot give justice to the complexity of the story.
There’s the stories between
1. Ji Hyun-Min Ho
2. Ji Hyun-Kang Ah
3. Kang Ah-Min Ho
4. Min Ho-In Jung
5. Ji Hyun-In Jung
6. Ji Hyun-Yi Soo
7. Yi Soo-Yi Kyung
8. Yi Kyung-Ji Hyun
And there’s still about the parents and friends.
It’s a melodrama about life and death.
After watching, one would reflect if you’d
1. Lived your life with purpose
2. Been loved and have truly loved another
3. Believe in fate/ destiny
I cried for everyone on the KDrama, even for the evils Min Ho and In Jung. I hate them but also felt pity.
But I cried the most for the love between Yi Soo and Yi Kyung (even now that I am typing this my eyes are blurry). Their love is so pure but tragic, I soo wanted them to be together but I know they can’t. I love-hate the ending because of that.
I really recommend this drama, I plan to watch it again, I already miss Yi Soo! ---
