though there’s a lot of criticism about the actress emotion toward the drama.. and the story line was very common, but I rather watch this than doctor (i don’t like the pair up, my own opinion :)) I just wanted to watch the ending for kwb sake… Maybe next time Suzy will under go rigid workshops before shooting a drama for more stimulation..
August 21st, 2016 at 12:18 pm
Oh my!!! Episode 14!!!! Greatness all the way. So much pain for all the characters. 6 more episodes. Can’t wait for next week.
August 22nd, 2016 at 12:38 am
Can Suzy and Kim Woo Bin have another project together again? Their chemistry is too beautiful that makes me forget that they both already taken. Im a WooZy hardcore fan right now :”)
August 24th, 2016 at 8:07 pm
Why do people always feel the need to talk about “Doctors” when they talk about another drama that is not doing well in the ratings? Talking about “Doctors” not being good or no chemistry between the leads. All I can say if you don’t see chemistry between the leads in Doctors, then you have blinders on. I loved the drama because it doesn’t have the unnecessary angst and separate between a couple like most k-dramas.
In regards to this drama, I’m trying to make up my mind if I want to watch and came to read some of the comments here. From the synopsis, it looks like the typical K-drama, but I love the fact that it was produced upfront, it gives me hope that we won’t see some of the craziness that we find in live-shooting. The ratings are giving me pause, but this may be due to W airing. However, that doesn’t same much for the drama if viewers can just switch from one drama to another—means it’s not holding people attention. However, I will give it a try.

I love this drama. Very touching!
August 25th, 2016 at 9:21 pm
Just wondering how bad is this Drama & the amount of viewers who watched this just kept decreasing ??? Considering KWB & the main actress is quite popular ( most especially when she started dating LMH ) Is the storyline that bad ?
August 26th, 2016 at 7:53 am
When I first watch this drama, I terpenting the love story between celebrity with the produser. I really touching when KWB sing for Neul in front all of his fans on his consert..but until now I think the story a little bit to much. I hate the way KWB did to neul. I like it when they do documentary shoot, with love. Really do the last romance like in the book sweet and simple romance in drama W.
August 26th, 2016 at 2:41 pm
I drop after ep 12….i cant stand watch joon young die in the end of drama…so sad…:( 🙁
August 26th, 2016 at 6:21 pm
I stopped in ep. 13. I just didn’t get much in the story to push up / boost my curiosity. Quite sad because the actors in this drama is quite popular.
August 27th, 2016 at 11:52 am
it really baffle me why people keep on watching this,i stopped at ep 2!try watching age of youth so underrated but its far more better than this one in so many ways!!
August 28th, 2016 at 4:29 am
In terms of acting, i think kim woo bin and suzy deliver herself just about alright to their character. I dont see any awkwardness and they make a great pair. I cant say the same with the storylines though cos it keeps on to be boring and way out of proportion. This drama should end at 16 episode rather than 20 cos the director seems to be confused on how to make beach character and the story to be aligned. Too bad though cos i saw hope in the earliest episodes then give up closer to the end. This is the 3rd time i dislike the main character, 1 is in the cinderella and 4 knights cos i am team kang hyun min all the way and 2nd is doctor cos i dont think the female and male has a great chemistry and great pairing. But i still watch it because of curiosity on how the story ends and what will happen to kwb and suzy couple. I dont mind if in the end kwb died and suzy ends up with ji tae. Cos ji tae seems to be deeply in love and reliable compare to kwb with his constant changing of feeling and the oddly not sweet push and pull.
August 28th, 2016 at 5:55 pm
I find this drama a bit ridiculous when Joon Young was hospitalised in episode 10, the doctor would have found out that he was sick. Also, JY’s mother would immediately took him to the hospital when she saw him lying on the bedroom floor in an awkward position but instead slowly moved down & touched him. Most scenes were ‘draggy’ as well.
August 28th, 2016 at 7:08 pm
I keep watching UF because of KWB, otherwise i’ll stop… the storyline is moving in slow motion.. sometimes i got so bored and dozed off while watching it…😅
August 29th, 2016 at 7:34 pm
i like this drama idk why people keep giving it negative comments
August 30th, 2016 at 12:20 am
i love this drama.
i’m from Kenya and i can miss going to work just watching this
i’m so addicted and hooked
August 30th, 2016 at 2:52 pm
I do like this drama
I’m gonna watch UF till the last ep, so please make an impressive ending for the viewers. Although the story line is quite inconsistent, but still worth to watch. There are so many scene that made me cry.
September 2nd, 2016 at 10:22 am
Does anyone knows the title of the song which played ep 17 part 2 ? Can’t figure it out what’s the title of the song
September 2nd, 2016 at 3:17 pm
This drama could have a nice wrapped up if it’s only 16 episodes. Having SJY to be back and forth with the way he treats No Eul is kinda a pain for viewers. The first few episodes of this drama were very entertaining, but it’s a lil bit draggy afterwards. I’m quite disappointed with the storyline since the writer for this drama had a lot of good dramas before this, namely (one of it) Innocent Man. To me, this drama is trying too hard to focus on human emotions that it failed a lil bit. But still, I’ll continue watching the last two episodes of this drama as I do support this drama.
September 4th, 2016 at 3:10 am
I watch this drama because of Kim Woo Bin.. Suzy, u just need to sing not acting.. I’m sorry to say this, but I don’t like suzy acting, really bad..

September 8th, 2016 at 2:14 pm
Thought too late to another change within this drama, I just wondering what this drama is talking about?? It seems there aren’t clear enough for me. The story seems jump to one other like no conclusion.
With one episode to go, why suddenly IJH “doing embezzlement” without his knowing? or KWB revenge to catch IJE because of Suzy’s father accident? or YOS reaction knowing how his “wife” arrange IJH’s accident? These are so absurd and just shocks me. At first, I have pretty high expectation within this drama because made in pre production, same as DOTS. With made big record in investment of this drama. Also the actor, actresses, and drama’s promotion. But, now I feel rather in disappointment.
September 9th, 2016 at 5:13 am
I feel so depressed after watching ep 19 and 20 of this drama. This drama is not the best, but it’s in the average level. I cried so much when all the people around Joon Young cried whenever they see him, especially his mother.
September 9th, 2016 at 9:36 am
Please everyone tell me..this is happy ending or sad ending? I’m very confused😂😂😪😪
September 9th, 2016 at 10:23 am
The storyline was a disappointment to the very end. I feel bad for the actors who did a good job in a less than mediocre drama. This was designed to ring every drop of tears out of you. The only thing it did was make me depressed and sorry I watched it.
September 9th, 2016 at 1:32 pm
writer xtahu macam mana nk buat ending..waste our time
September 9th, 2016 at 3:09 pm
I Just watched 2 ep..and i plan to continue this until finish… I love Kim Wo Bin and Suzy…
September 9th, 2016 at 4:04 pm
its not a sweet sad ending.. but still a good ending.. the ending is really out of my expectation, i think have many things can they do before joon young go died. but they do nothing, every problem done but why they don’t tell joon young to go to doctors. you want to life so you need to fight for it, don’t only sit and died.. so poor.. i’m a bit disappointed.. huhh
September 9th, 2016 at 5:24 pm
It is an okay drama, but because of power made the drama turns upside down.
Filled with sadness , I do not think it is a perfect drama. And also towards the ending not what we expected.
I wont vote fr this one, not my kind of drama, what a waste with all skillful actors and actresses
September 9th, 2016 at 11:08 pm
Glad that I quit watching it since ep.15.
September 11th, 2016 at 10:52 pm
Worst drama I ever watched… I think the writer wrote the script in her sleep.
September 13th, 2016 at 8:28 am
Another Suzy Drama that failed. What a waste for KWB. He should have chosen a better Drama and a better co star. Suzy needs to stick with singing and behind LMH as a shadow !!!
September 14th, 2016 at 1:20 am
It is such a boring drama. It seems Suzy & KWB does not know how to act. KWB is neither good looking nor good acting. Suzy is just like the vase walking in the drama.
September 14th, 2016 at 10:58 pm
I really don’t know what is this drama storylines about? I have never seen a guy who was going to die had to face so many happening in his life at once, by knowing whose his real father, found his childhood lover whose father happened been killed by his related brother’s girlfriend and so on. What the writer wanted to tell us was this actor is going to die soon, less than 3 months to live. Then, why don’t they just focus on him and his wishes? Funny is they trying to tell his new-found girlfriend was lacking in so many ways to be fit as his assistant manager with childish and immature characters. I don’t feel damn sad and sympathy for this death actor because he seem damn happy after seen how silly all these people around him been treated him. It is good for him to leave this world as fast as he can.
Happy ending poor drama….
September 16th, 2016 at 3:18 am
Am a fan till epi 14. 15 onwards is a downhill battle for me. Thus i skip till epi 20 and fast forward all the way till the end. Trying to figure why UF writer and W writer hv so much in common. Both killed the story halfway through the drama. Is that a skill nowadays? But amongst the current dramas, the OST especially the BGM is a killer. Tears rolled down each time when the music comes out. Kudos to the director for selecting great songs. Better luck next time to Kim Woo Bin and Suzy.
September 18th, 2016 at 1:00 am
The best melodrama i ever watched !!!
September 20th, 2016 at 12:42 pm
I think this drama is only good for die hard fans of KWB or Suzy, the story itself is not that good. I find another drama with similar theme about dying main character much better, “Marriage Contract”. I suggest that drama over this one unless you are fans of KWB or Suzy.
September 20th, 2016 at 3:32 pm
I gave this drama a chance but I can’t find logic in many actions portrayed and maybe I have suddenly gone dumb that my brain can’t see what this drama is about.
September 23rd, 2016 at 1:49 pm
Another failed Drama where Suzy is in the casts. Let her stay in her girl group & leave Dramas to actresses who has better potential than her. Singing is her forte not acting. Too bad for her co stars who got affected by the failure of this Drama from the storyline & her acting . That’s why any Drama she’s in, I have no motivation to watch !!!
September 25th, 2016 at 4:08 pm
This drama is very touching.. The writer really know true meaning of love. Watching this drama make me very sad, shin jun young is such a good son and his love for noh eul is unexpectedly. They are really lovely couple. Over all this drama is amazing but i just don’t understand why shin jun young has to be die in the last episode.
October 8th, 2016 at 4:13 pm
Love this drama, I found the storyline to be very interesting. I love how they went back and forth,to give us that background info on the characters. Despite what other people wrote, I found that the actors did a fantastic job. From episode one I was hooked. I would had liked to see more romance between the main characters. But all in all great drama. And the last two episodes had me crying like a baby. I love the scene of the main character in the end , just thinking about it make me cry all over again.
October 29th, 2016 at 3:29 pm
I have not watch this drama yet. And I don’t want to watch it because the low rating and bad comments I read , hahaha peace
November 5th, 2016 at 10:36 pm
