After I finished my finals, I immediately started watching this drama because I read that it was the top rated drama for the week and I must say, I wasn't disappointed.
From acting wise, Kam Woo Sung's acting was superior and tho Sooyoung is still much of a rookie actress, she impressed me during those emotional scenes (which was a lot since this is a melo kindda drama).
This drama emphasizes on the importance of organ donation. Eight people can survive from one person's choice of donating their organs. In this drama, Lee Bom Yi (Choi Soo Young) is a survivor of heart transplant, living her life to the fullest in memory of her heart donor. She visits Jeju Island because she knew that her heart donor originated from there, and there she meets Kang Dong Ha (Kam Woo Sung) and his two children, Poo Reum and Ba Da. Without knowing those were her donor's children, her eyes start to tear up when she saw the children.
The story continues with Lee Bom Yi getting ready to marry with Kam Dong Wook (Lee Joon Hyuk), Kang Dong Ha's younger brother. Feeling too pressured in the end, Bom Yi put a hold to the wedding knowing that this wasn't the wedding she wanted.
One of the conflict of the story was when Bom Yi realised her heart donor was Dong Wook's dead sister-in-law, she wondered whether Dong Wook fell in love with her or still hanging on to the memory of his dead sister-in-law who he once fell in love with .
Bom Yi also wondered whether Dong Ha really loved her or the heart that was beating inside of her . After a while, Bom Yi and Dong Ha started getting closer and finally they got into a relationship against all odds. However, Bom Yi collapses and the doctor verifies she was suffering from rejection symptoms.
Her heart transplant was failing after five years.
Wanting to get married, Sooyoung prepares a simple wedding environment at the hospital room with a few balloons and puts on a wedding veil. Dong Ha protests and says he wanted to give her a grand wedding after she gets better but Sooyoung insisted on a simple wedding.
I actually think this symbolizes the importance of living in the moment and just enjoying life.
In the end, Bom Yi got weaker and weaker but Dong Ha stayed by her side. She had the choice to get a mechanical heart or another heart transplant (with undetermined waiting time) but she decided in the end to give her heart as a gift to another person. Realising that she was lucky enough to have lived with a gift for five years, she decides to pass on this gift to another person .
The drama ends with Sooyoung being wheeled into the operating theater to die.
From character-wise, Kam Dong Ha is a man constantly miserable over his wife's untimely accident and death. Unable to get over his wife's death, he visits Jeju Island where his wife passed away every year on her death anniversary and drinks to sleep. Lee Bom Yi is a five year survivor of heart transplant. Being constantly kind and energized, she always lives life to the fullest and is thankful for the extra five years she was given.
The pairing of the two is just common, I wouldn't say that they had the best chemistry for an old man-young woman couple considering Yoona and Lee Bum Soo had better chemistry in Prime Minister and I .
The plot of this drama is really refreshing and I say, if you have time, give it a go.
