I would like to correct the storyline's last sentence: 'The couple brings each other back to life in an ill-fated love, not knowing that Young Won's fiancé was actually the man killed by Se Ro five years earlier.' - the first part until the comma is true, but the second half, starting from 'not knowing...' doesn't make sense because Se Ro didn't kill the before mentioned fiancé and he also knew whose fiancé Gong Woo Jin was.
This was my second romantic Korean series and it was quite good. A romantic tale with a happy ending.
The actors delivered a great performance, especially the leading ones. I haven't seen a series that contained as many crying scenes as this one. It was really a 'crying marathon' or 'synchron crying' most of the time. Almost every scene between Se Ro and Young Won looked like this: Young Won started crying then Se Ro joined and cried his bit. I am not saying that it was forced, because it looked very natural to them and the topics they cried over were also sensitive ones, so their sorrow was understandable. Maybe I only had this impression because I binge-watched the series. I am not sure, but fact is, that a huge amount of tears were produced throughout this show.
I didn't like the constant background music. I found it ridiculous at times. The purpose of the background music is to support the visual content. Here at times, in my opinion, it was redundant. At the very first scene I almost laughed out loud when Se Ro walked (crying) on a snow covered field and he was about to take his life. It was obvious that he was struggling, so the melancholic music made the whole scene rather comical, so it completely failed its purpose. I felt the same when Se Ro was arrested and during the interrogation he received an sms about his passed exam. Then he started crying and I felt pity for him because of the absurdity of the situation. I think it would have been more dramatic if no music were played in the background. It was simply not necessary. The actors did their jobs very well, so further atmosphere creation with any kind music was not required.
Regardless of these I found the series entertaining but a little bit too melodramatic here and there. Sometimes less is more.
