I'm late to this, having just found out how good Korean television is, but I couldn't pass on the opportunity to leave a review and express my love for this series. It blew me away, broke my heart and healed it again, all in 16 fantastic episodes. I'll miss it, will miss the characters, but I'm sure I'll think about them often.
It has everything, literally everything. Writing, acting, directing, cinematography, all sublime. The theme of healing through kindness is so uplifting. The difficulty of the lives of all these characters does not detract from the beauty of the message. You'll be rooting for all of them to find happiness and while they don't necessarily get the all American happy endings, they all end up in a better place, and at peace. I loved, loved loved it.
On a final note, RIP Lee Sun-kyun. An amazing actor who gave an outstanding performance and so didn't deserve what happened to him. Some of his scenes in this broke me.
