Story: Great example of how uncleared misunderstandings can destroy relationships. I thought the conservative view of Koreans will prevail at the end, but sadly, it didn't. It's weird that I loved the epilogue but hated the ending.
Acting/Cast: I came across the drama because of Yin Ji Han, and was surprised Hong So Hyun is also casted, whom I also liked so I gave it a go. I loved both of them, and really, I cried because they did a good job on their roles.
Music: I don't remember any standout song or music.
Rewatch Value: It was heartbreaking for me so, no.
Overall: With all these hints, I think you get what to expect at the drama. I'm not too fond of heartbreaking romances that's why I didn't gave it a high score but it is worth watching if you have free have time to spend and of course you want a moment to fangirl over Jin Yi Han. :D

I really liked it, this is a great story and it changed us with all those dramas. But one episode is too short, I would prefer one more episode, maybe two. It hard in the beginning to understand all the reasons, but later, we can understand everything, so be patient and watch all the drama, even if you can't understand ;)
There are great actors and the Japanese actress Fuji Mina is cute and funny, she speaks very well Korean. The ''couple'' Hong Soo Hyun and Jin Yi Han are both wonderful actors so it was a pleasure to have them as main characters.
For the music, I can't really remember but nothing chocks me ...
I think I could re-watch this small drama ... but later.
To conclude, I can say it is a great drama, short and it's simple to watch it. The story is interesting.
It was hard not to spoil the end in my review, but I didn't !

SO HEARTBREAKING !
I love the drama and the acting skills of the cast. Just a piece of regret to the things that might change if they chose to fight for each other and not let the ego reigns in their way.Story : Deeply shows that marriage is not a joke so as love. Sometimes, we expect too much from each other and failed to look at each others capability. Also, best story that will help you realize someone's value, only when they are gone.
To let go is the safest way.
Acting : I looked for it because of Yin Ji Han, but Ms. Hong So Hyun also give rich acting skills. They both show few tears but the emotions will surely strike you and I do cried a lot, the story and its emotions was greatly shown and it hurts so much.
Music : I haven't noticed any music, just few melodies of instrumentals to coordinate with the mood.
Rewatch value : It's so heartbreaking, but I will still rewatch it.
Overall. The story is one of the best 1-shots. I am a fan of heartbreaking dramas, and the end is somehow fine to me, but if you are going to watch it. Prepare for unknown pains like you are one pf the characters. For Yi Han fans, try this one.

Another couple defeated for not being able to communicate of sacrifice for each other!
This is another example of the superb programming of the KBS Drama series from Korea...Chae Ha Kyung (Hong Soo Hyun) divorced her husband after only three weeks of marriage, due to both of them being immature and unable to communicate.
Five years later, she is a successful wedding planner with a promotion ready to come to her in a different city, after one last job where she started her chosen career.
The last local job is for the daughter Eun Min Se (Fujii Mina) of a very, very important investor to the wedding business she works for,. Although the young client is hard to handle, Ha Kyung handles her firmly but gently, knowing that her 'pie-in-the-sky' wedding plans she wanted would be changed before the actual big day arrived.
However, Ha Kyung is thrown a curve ball after only a few days into helping Min Se: the young lady's groom is none other than the man, Seo In Jae (Kim Ji Han), she divorced five years ago but still had feelings for.
She later finds out that he hasn't changed his door pass code (her birthday), he still has photos of her in his apartment and he still has her 'cheap' wedding ring he bought for her.
While helping Min Se. she starts thinking about all that went wrong five years ago: she was concerned about her mom buying expensive gifts for his family, but she didn't get anything in return; she gave him a lot of money; but got nothing in return; he bought her mom a fancy gift, but not her. His parents gave them a house in his name, but she is going to have to help pay the remainder of it off . He wouldn't ever let her inquire about a more expensive ring, and she still thinks that he bought her a cheap one. She was making more then than he was at the time; MONEY and equity were her shortcomings!
As far as In Jae, he admits to her that he was still a kid back then, he used to have to win unimportant battles with her and others and he was very insecure in the relationship with her. More importantly, he wanted her with him in the evenings, but her job as a manager made her routinely have to go into work at this time. He couldn't communicate his wants and needs at the time to her, his new wife!
More importantly, neither of them wanted to 'compromise' or 'communicate' about their problems and insecurities; they were too immature at the time.
Newlyweds cannot always spend the money they want on each other when they first marry; not can they always do want the other wants them to do, especially if they haven't matured completely yet.
We see these themes through other Korean and Asian movies as well, and everyone can learn that life’s little lessons can be found in these movies; this and Fall In Love Like A Star (2015), Jenny and Juno (2005), My Fuxxxxx Romance (2020), Ang Lee's "Father Knows Best" trilogy, The Library (2013), and especially On Your Wedding Day (2018) and My Love (2021),,,those mentioned movies where the couples or families (or group) practiced tolerance, self-sacrifice and communicated with each other found peace and harmony - with the individual's sacrifice for the others(s) in their lives!
The main cast were great and portrayed a couple who looked like they belonged together and showed mutual affection to each other once they were re-united; the support cast also performed their parts well and added to the
main cast telling of the story.
Min Se was bubbly as her ex-husbands new love interest and was used by the director to verbally say many things that Ha Kyung finally realized was true about marriage, things she wished she had grown to realize - five years ago when she was just married!
Although others reviewing this movie didn't think the music was significant to the story, it was perfect, adding ambiance and setting the mood for the individual scenes throughout (I am learning to pay more attention to this aspect of cinema!).
The cinematography was excellent and I just loved the church that was chosen to at out the last of the movie.
As the movie progressed, everyone is rooting for the two to get back together, since they have matured
I fell in love with this movie the first time i saw it, and I rate it at the same level as More Than Blue (2009), Wedding Dress (2010), Seven Samurai (1954) and the much under-rated Mural (2011).
My only suggestion for improving this movie is adding another 10-15 minutes in order to better explain some of the scenes of the movie, scenes that didn't explain themselves well.
RE-WATCH VALUE: Definitely!
A word of advice: do not leave your seat or turn the movie off until after all the credits have ran; you will miss a very important part of the movie if you do!
