What's it abt?
Yoo Eun Ho is an instructor at a fitness club, who divorced her husband Lee Dong Jin after the death of their new born baby as she blamed him for not being there for her when she needed him most. They remained as friends after the divorce and met regularly. Even though both started to see other people, they still had great feelings towards each other. With the help of Eun Ho's sister Ji Ho and Dong Jin's good friend Joon Pyo, they finally realised that they should get back together.
Loves & Hates:
Adopted from a Japanese novel with the same title, AIL's plot was quite different from the norm. The pace was slow, but the emotions and thoughts of the characters were clearly presented through their narrations. The whole idea of this drama was interesting too. Hardly any drama touches on this topic...life of a divorced couple. Honestly, I really dont know why they wanna get divorce after Eun Ho gave birth to a still-born child. The reason was quite unusual..as in they still love each other. Well...perhaps if their reason for divorce is like any other, then this drama would be quite standard la.
Son Yeh Jin...received 2 big acting awards after acting as Eun Ho. Honestly, she's improving each time i see her in a drama. Eun Ho is not a perfect woman...and Yeh Jin sshi acted well to bring out her Eun Ho's mixed emotions. Nothing exaggerating...very natural.
Gam Woo Sung...may be u don't know him. But once i told u he's one of the leads in "King and the clown"..ah~Now u know who he is right? Not a handsome fella..and his voice sounded abit weird to me..haha! Who cares? He portrayed Dong Jin well...this character is quite funny at times, but he's very careful not to let his emotions shown...aiyo~Really fed up when he wanna be together with his first crush...poor Eun Ho..lol!
Ok I am rooting for this couple to re-unite again la..so as the drama progresses..i really cant wait to see them be 2gether again.
Another cute couple here is Ji Ho & Jun Pyo...without them to be the "happy folks" here, the drama would be quite boring la. Super good chemistry from them..and i loved to see them trying all their ways to get Eun Ho & Dong Jin together..
Oh Yoon Ah and Lee Jin Wook appeared in the 1st half of the drama...quite a waste somehow. OYA's Mi Yeon is a sexy mum who was hurt by her ex-husband..and her child Eun Seol didnt talked much...super mature kid..cute! Haha! Too bad she couldnt be Dong Jin la~
LJW..had seen him in "Smile again"...acting was average. Looking forward to his performance in the coming "Air City". His character Hyung Joong was a rich kid..who thot his dad "betrayed" his mum...Honestly, I am still not quite clear abt who really betrayed who..lolz! Paiseh ah..But i thot he's quite pathetic.
2nd half of this drama..2 new characters appeared and they would be hindering the couple to re-unite la. Dong Jin's first crush and a prof, who had phobia with water.
OST was nice..and initally i wanna dl. Butta i found 3 osts with tons of songs...haiz..forget it. Lolz!
Worth watching?
Wld reco to kdrama fans out there..Well, dont expect sweet stuffs from them la..coz' this is a rather mature drama. The whole feeling was rather plain somehow...u wont be overly excited to see the drama unfolds..but u would wanna know how they got together again...(How i wish they could show more abt DJ & EH after they got back together...)
