Despite the top liked reviews not being super positive, I very enjoyed this one.
It's been on my list for some time as I love everything Park Bo Young does, I had been putting this one off because of the context of death and Tak Dong Kyung living out the last 100 days of her life with Doom, being given the choice of making a final wish before her death or the death of her closest loved on in order to save hers. And I am not going to lie, this one was difficult for me to watch. Of course there is little things here and there with this drama, such as how Sa Ram treated Tak in the beginning with so much disgust (which reminded me of the relationship in A Korean Odyssey) and just small things were and there like how the writing was a bit confusing and the dialogue was SUPER quick that I think I missed a good chunk of what they wee talking about. But the main reason why this was was hard for me, was just the topic of death and it being a recent trigger of mine. You would have to be comfortable with the idea of death and dying in order to watch this without ugly crying because I did A LOT of that. Like every episode.
Other than that, I very much enjoyed the cinematography and the score - I think it is tied for first place with The Forest of the most beautiful dramas I have ever watched.
The ending was very obvious, but the journey getting there and seeing Sa Ram slowly gain his humanity and fall in love was extremely satisfying and always being there for Tak whenever she was going through something rough.. that is good writing. For example, I UGLY cried that whole scene when Tak went to the hair salon. But with the sad parts, there come the happy parts such as the love she receives from her aunt, brother, and best friend. Also, my favorite character, and I am sooooo happy that they included this in there, was her Canadian Uncle Kevin. I LIVED for his pep talks! Even with the language barrier, that didn't stop him from supporting Tak. Also, I loved how much her brother grew from the beginning while still being his dopey self.
Lastly, I oddly enjoyed the second leads and their romance; it also seemed like a completely different drama was happening. I loved it, but it honestly started to drag at the end, and I wanted to shake Ji Na. I totally get that this was a story about lose - Tak learning that she would lose her life and how she wanted to spend the remaining 100 days, and Ji Na learning how to move past her first love in order to live her life, but feeling like she is losing a part of herself that she's lived with since high school. Same, but different. Both emotional. But it got to a point where I am like Ji Na...we get it.
