I liked this drama a lot.
I loved the main character and I think that he had so many lessons to give; you should not give up on your goals, don't forget your values though it might be tempting at times, you may have a lot of things to learn from your enemies, accept, trust and support the people around you, don't think people are your enemies just because they do something that seems to be against you, because they have their own goals and that sometimes there are situations where you should forget about what you think is right or fair, just because you value a person more than that. His character and presence was indeed shining.
I would describe this drama as a story about ethics and life values. It also touched on so many issues in the society in a very fresh way, setting an example. I will always recommend this. It doesn't have a lot of romance, so it is appropriate for all ages. You should give it a try!

Cute story without much drama between main couple!

What I like the most about this drama is that there was not any big misunderstanding or fight between the main couple. I loved how ML was always supportive towards FL, I loved watching him finally smile at the last episodes and more than anything I loved watching his change to a loving partner. I liked that FL trusted ML's love for her and was defending their relationship. I liked how the couple had supportive friends that helped their relationship and I am happy that FL's friend didn't sabotage the main couple's relationship but helped them. Finally, I liked how loving and supporting main couple's parents were.

Unfortunately there was a villain and this is one of the reasons I gave this rating. I didn't like the fact that she had nothing better to do in her life and was only making troubles for FL.The other reason is that ML didn't have to treat FL like Cinderella or servant at first. That was a little too much.

a decent drama

In my opinion this drama wasn't so bad. Actually I watched it with interest. I must say that it wasn't the most interesting I have ever seen though. The plot is good but was shown to us in a little complicated way. It wasn't very scary so I enjoyed it. I would prefer a little more romance than mystery, but it was ok as it was. I would recommend this drama to someone who likes supernatural dramas with a little mystery and romance. I usually prefer more fluffy, cozy and calm dramas, but I liked it too. The acting was great but I don't like when there are evil characters. In conclusion, you can give it a try but don't expect something amazing.

Good enough!

I like this type of movies and I don't want to say that this wasn't good but while it was going well, at some point I didn't understand the reason the male lead suddenly called female lead his girlfriend and the other day he said it was just a test. I don't know if I have been watching romantic movies for too much time but it seemed silly to me. I don't mind that the plot wasn't something new, but the fact that the thing I mentioned before was done without a realistic reason just to be done. Overall it was a nice movie, I liked female lead who was a romantic and pure soul and male lead had a good character too. I would recommend it.

Definitely worth watching

This movie was exactly what I prefer to watch. I strongly agree with the other review. If you like realistic love stories, you should watch this one.
This movie starts with two brokenhearted people after their breakups. They meet by chance and start talking . They listen to each other and try to understand the other sex's way of thinking as friends. After spending time together they naturally hang out and try to help each other to find a new partner. They get to know each other and by spending some more time together they start to develop feelings. They try to understand what they are feeling, they make mistakes and try to get what they want and deserve. A very realistic portayal of modern relationships.
I liked the story and especially the acting. I felt what the characters' were feeling and thinking, when they were nervous, when they were hurt and happy. Their expressions matched perfectly each situation. I LOVED female and male lead's coworkers! They were amazing! The friends we all deserve and wish to have. Lastly, I loved the ending.
This movie reminded me that we all deserve the best and we must fight for it, we have the right to make mistakes and we shouldn't be afraid to be hurt. That we should always express our feelings and that all people are not the same, even the same person can drastically change if the circumstances force him.

Unexpectedly great movie!

I came across this movie on Netflix and I added it on my list. When I came across it here too I thought I should watch it today. Little did I know that it was a hidden gem. At first I didn't like the violence but I waited for the romance. I was so happy while I watched male lead being so kindhearted! Then he made me think that he is so stupid to make the same mistakes and I wanted to stop the movie so that I don't waste my time. I'm so glad that I don't give up easily on movies and dramas. I was rewarded once again! The last 15 minutes had me tearing and crying my eyes out. I can only assure you that you should give it a try.

I didn't know what was the focus of this movie even after the end

I really don't know what to say about this movie. I am always on the hunt for hidden gems. I am looking for dramas and movies that are not so popular but deserve recognition. I am not sure if anyone would consider this movie a hidden gem. I don't know if I myself think so.
First of all the cinematography reminded me of the movie Amelie at some points which I liked.
The story seemed very interesting and rare, so I watched it. I still don't know what the story was about. Did they love each other through spending time together or did they just sympathized with each other? Was it love or loneliness and despair? The woman loved the man she stalked or she was just obsessed with him because nobody wanted to befriend her? I have so many questions. This movie didn't have a specific message for the audience in my opinion. Or if there was a message what was it?
I am so confused so I don't know if i would recommend it. Maybe some people like this type of movies without a specific theme or movies that you can't fully understand. I personally prefer the movies that are very clear and have a specific message to the audience.

A beautiful bittersweet story!

I first decided to watch this drama because it tackles a subject that is rarely seen, at least in my opinion. Have you ever thought how this kind of illness affects not only the patient but his family and his friends too? All the physical pain that the person goes through along with the stigma? Without knowing much, I think that it is very realisticly portrayed.
I felt how diffficult it was for the female lead to tell her parents. She tried so hard to face all the problems with her parents, her friends and her loved one. She tried to stay strong, be independent and chase her dreams for a better life. I admired her for her willingness to live a normal life. She was a very brave person! She fought for having the life she wanted, not a longer life span. Although she didn't live a long life, she left at the peak of her happiness and I think that she got all she wanted.
What can I say about male lead! I don't know whether his life was more tragic than female lead's. His life came in circles. The actor did a great job portraying the character. He constantly lived loss. He tried to be there when female lead needed him, then tried to push her away and then realised how he was the one who needs her the most. I loved watching him help female lead and getting inspired by her courage to be true to herself! I felt so bad when I realised that the thing that traumatised him the most would happen again, but fortunately with a happier outcome.
I literally melted by the love and thoughtfulness I felt these two had for each other! This was not your typical lovey dovey story or a love being attacked by a villain. This love grew under the shadow of a sudden death. I felt that it was so unfair that this couple lost so much precious time from being together, but I also understand how difficult it is to plan a life when you don't know when it will end. Should you live only for your love or do you have some time to chase your dream? When death comes, you regret.
I had not seen male lead again and I have to say that I was impressed by his beautiful face!
I congratulate the people who decided to make this drama in 1998! This should be so new and groundbreaking back then.
I loved watching male lead run in almost every episode!
I also loved her male friend and her parents for supporting female lead in her decisions!
If you are still thinking whether you should watch this drama or not, go ahead and watch it!

Brilliant movie!

I didn't expect this movie to be so good! The story was a great idea, not unique though.
What I liked the most was how the past main lead was refered to as a gangster, but in reality he was so nice, thoughtful, pure-hearted and cute. He was a nice guy. Female lead from the past was a hidden gem really. She was so kind-hearted, cute and loving. Both of them were amazing. They were so perfect for each other. I loved watching them together! I was really happy when what I expected happened; the pretend couple became a real one. But then came the cheesy weird break up. I don't understand it. Three people became not so happy in their life after that. I don't say that this isn't happening in real life, but this selflessness which makes people unhappy for years is just stupid.
Now, what I have to say about the present couple is that I liked the whole idea of getting to know each other through exploring an old love story. I liked how they came closer. They were cute too. Male lead was a little like his father, who seemed like a "gangster" but he was not. We didn't have the chance to know them better, however I don't think this was bad, because the story focused on the past couple.
The ending was good in my opinion. The past couple did what they wanted the most ; to say goodbye to each other properly, so they closed the circle of their relationship and the present couple opened their own circle focusing on themselves rather than their family members.
The only thing that really bothers me with the movie was the constant change from filipino to english language, even in the same sentence!
Overall, you should definitely watch this movie! It worths your time!

Such a great movie!

This is one of the best romantic movies I have ever seen! It was so easy to watch! I loved it! I loved the main idea of the story, that a woman being dissapointed from her life, goes back to her past memories and remembers the way she thought her present and future as a student. As a result she gets reminded all her dreams and values back then, so she decides to change her life and be loyal to her past self.
I liked how the two main characters got to know each other through a silly thing and they started their friendship. I loved watching their relationship change from hate to friendship to love. It was very interesting for me to get to know the male lead and the reason behind his behavior. I liked how they fell in love with each other little by little and pushed each other to become a better version of themselves. Their feelings were so pure and delicate! But they never expressed their real feelings for each other while they were watching each other everyday. That's a sad thing and a very regretful one, but it was very realistic, because love came after friendship and they hesitated mainly because they thought that they knew who the other person had feelings for. Watching them hiding their true feelings for each other's sake was very disheartening. After the confession of one person to the other I was so sad because it felt like the big chance to make this love relationship happen was lost. Years later and after the big life decluttering in female leads life, life gives the main leads a second chance, or a first chance if you give it more thought, to make things right! The movie ends giving you hope for what comes next !!!

A great choice for everyone!

I have seen this drama twice and that says a lot when you are a person who almost never sees things twice or more times. This drama gave me lots of cute moments!
It shows how two people fell in love at first sight and their feelings for each other grew when fate brought them back together. Male lead was more or less what you would call a perfect man. He was a human shield for others. His cute face along with his honorable and many times playful behavior made him a perfect character for me. But we really saw how sad it can be to be the partner of such selfless person. Female lead was brave, always responsible for her actions and very knowledgeable at her profession. I loved watching her being good at her job. I thought that she was so cute when she started having feelings for male lead, but she soon understood what his job meant. They faced many difficult times together but they had many funny moments too. I liked all the other supporting characters too.
What I don't understand is why we had to cry for a whole episode before the end. I cried the second time I saw this although I knew what would come! Misunderstandings are to be solved... This was a little too much drama for me. It was like scriptwriters pulled a prank on watchers and they laughed at us on last episode. Not funny I would say.
I think this drama is what you would call a basic one for the k-drama world. I am glad I saw this and I recommend it to everyone interested in romantic k-drama who doesn't wants to see something completely lovey dovey.

A great romantic drama with lots of laugh!

I haven't seen any other version of this drama, so I don't know whether it is better or not.
I liked this drama very much! I loved FL because she was very positive most of the time, funny and cute, although I felt secondhand embarassment many times because of her. I loved that she was all in. When she was in love she expressed it. When she was sad she expressed it too. I liked that she didn't let her ego get in the way of her spending time with the man she loved ! I liked how her perspective changed through the drama about her situation with the other Ploy.
I liked ML too, but I would love it if he could be a little more expressive. He was more serious and shy and that's his charm! I adored how protective, sincere , kind and concerned he was. It is not very clear to me when his feelings changed from attonement to love towards FL... but I have to say that he was husband material for sure! They had many romantic and cute scenes together!
There were some more evil characters but not the extreme kind! The other characters were nice too. I didn't skip many scenes.
In conclusion it was a nice drama, which didn't make me bored at all, gave me lots of laugh and cute scenes! I enjoyed it! I absolutely recommend it!

It's nice if you don't have anything to watch after finishing a drama!

I don't think that this was a little boring because of the main leads. I have seen other dramas from them and they did their job perfectly, but the plot was a lot more interesting. There were some big misunderstandings between characters that were resolved almost at the end, which I didn't like at all. I liked female lead's character and male lead's character, but the romance between them almost didn't exist. Male leads friend who was a girl, was very manipulative towards him. I think if her character didn't exist, the drama would be much better. The main couple had some cute scenes. I don't think this is the worst thing I have ever seen, but I don't think it is remarkable either.

What I did like about this drama was the pure female lead and her supporting friends, her loving father and male lead's funny mother. I don't like when a female character is depicted to have nothing else in her mind other than male lead. Fortunately she managed to focus a little on her career. I loved female lead's devotion and expression of her emotions but her love was too much. I would like her to be a little less of a male lead's fangirl. What many people don't understand is that we can't have the same type of female lead in all dramas. Some are more expressive and some others are not. This female lead was a little too much expressive. Male lead from the other hand was so not expressive. Even after he started having feelings for her, he didn't show them much, which made female lead confused. Second male lead was a little too expressive too. Although it is admirable for them to be able to express their love, I feel like these characters wasted too much energy on another person instead of themselves. It is not selfishness, but self- investment that they lacked. This drama gave me a lot of secondhand embarassment and that's the main reason I would not watch it again. I thought I should stop watching it, but I am glad I didn't because their story got better. In my opinion it is not so bad as many people say, but this is up to everyone's point of view. You may see it as a foolish love of a silly girl for a perfect male lead or as a pure first love-crush of brave girl who managed to get the boy of her dreams!
