> Memorable melodrama watch but not the best thriller as inconsistent frustration seeps in the middle

The strongest point this drama has going for it, is the representation of female friendship. It delivers it with lots of tears and laughter. The trio friendship of Insook, Seyeon and Mido is another thing to anticipate about in the drama. They came from different backgrounds and had difference in their mindsets, yet the way they blended with each other and consolidated their friendship on a robust base, was an overwhelming watch. One has memoryloss/sleep-walking , one does everything to get any love , one is always angry with her misfortune. Together they commit act(s) and take us to anger , grief , pity and joy.

The bucketful romance is surely satisfying if not something very new and has some cliché tropes. I am sure warm pure romance is not everyone's cup of tea but I wish people become fond of it. In Sook and Woo Chan as couples were both adorable and fierce; their chemistry was up to par though not very extensively portrayed, and I think it was intentional and also feel it was of appropriate amount. This ending sequence summarize the romance : When confronted with how he will bear losing her ; Woo-cheon says : -
[spoiler] I will not suffer ! I will pick one of these memories every day and reflect on the best scenes [/spoiler]

**The most important thing people in hospice care want is normal love and to live normal.**

I watched Ahn Eun Jin on Hospital Playlist and she is an actress that I really like. She really does its job well. I think she has proven that with this drama.

I will say I wasn't a fan of Mi Do but I think that didn't have much to do with Joy, more the way the character was written. It's a shame because she had a much deeper story that wasn't really given enough time, the plot shows an ample collection of evidence of why she must make a decision and then teleports to what happens after she’s elected which path to take.

Se Yeon is listed as a main character but is probably, at best, the tenth most relevant character. Like Mi Do, she has an intriguing subplot and it gets a bit of run in the middle episodes of the show, but it gets only perfunctory screen time after a certain point.

Somehow, the crew finds an even less likable character for the cast member with the third most amount of time on screen - Go Doo Shim’s Seong Ja, In Sook’s grandmother. While the cranky and colorful grandmother is a stock character, most have some charm and warmth as part of the role. Here, sadly, it’s all obnoxious and annoying and irrational. Why the relationship between In Sook and her grandmother is so prominently featured when it’s unnecessary narrative is massively confounding and made loose lot of interest in the show with her lengthy dialogues.

If you are like me, and hate dramas where the police are bumbling idiot, leaving the main characters to deal with everything, then you won't be disappointed with this drama. The police are intelligent (aside from a select few), and work hard to solve the case. They were in my opinion a delight to watch (especially you Cho Shi young, ). The sad trade-off is that the main characters lack a bit in the brains department. I blame Insook's brain-cancer. It messed a bit with her critical thinking skills. And just when we feel the police were frustratingly good ; they again turn incompetent [spoiler] one blame is put on innocent ; as Cho Shi Young is mysteriously fired [/spoiler]

Lee Bong Ryun is a police team leader that is a badly needed bright spot. It’s not a dynamic role, but she’s a solid casting selection and it’s not a typical police detective. Yoon Bora is a ray of sunshine as a nun at the hospice which is the primary location. She eventually takes a shine to Jang In Sub’s mixed bag of a detective. Kim Soo Young plays the daughter of another hospice patient and shows immense potential as an actor. Someone should make a show simply where she can play a younger version of Park So Dam with whom she bears an incredible resemblance.

It had a lot of unexpected twists to it, and a good mixture of friendship, uplifting events, sad events, love, revenge, murder, family devotion, family regret, etc. It had pretty much everything. If you don’t like sad heart wrenching dramas, don’t watch it. There are plenty of others to choose from. I would recommend if u like slow melodrama's that deal with hospice like Chocolate . the ending was well done and this is kinda show that you would enjoy watching is slow rather than binge it all at time for the emotions and dialogues to sync in . Finally the shows ending credits :100:

> All humans die ; the only difference is when u know are dying ; so lets live fully to the best without regrets
