The first time I heard about this movie, when my friends and I was talking about Korean movie in campus laboratory. They said that this movie was so damn sad and tragic. They recommend this movie to me but I didn’t immediately watch this movie because I was a little bit busy back then. A few months later, I watched EXO Showtime (one kind of boyband’s variety show in Korea) and they were crying while watching this drama. So I was curious and tried to watch this movie too. Are you looking for the review of this movie because of EXO too? Well, EXO is pretty popular these days.
