Bird in the attic

This drama appeared on many lists so I decided to give it a go.

I did not get emotionally invested in the characters but I finished the drama with a lot of ffwd. I can’t leave anything halfway. I found the female lead annoying and childlike. This did improve in later episodes but it got spoiled again towards the finale, with the baby talk and opening her mouth like a baby bird waiting to be fed. I still don’t know why perfectly capable adults need to be spoonfed lol.

The number of times the poor skilled surgeon/physician had to bandage or disinfect a poor foot or toe or other body part. But I understand it’s him showing his love.

Maybe I missed it between the trope and moments of cheesiness and almost posing, but not quite sure when all the feels grew between ML and FL. Felt somewhat disjointed to me. All seemed contrived. Issues also just ambushed without much discussion, clarification.

Second couple were interesting to watch as their relationship developed.

The little bird in the attic was quite sweet, although I didn’t know why it was relegated to the attic which wasn’t easily accessible. Perhaps the natural light. But yes that little bird had me pondering a lot more than the characters did.

Loved the cat. Hope the little bird went on to enjoy freedom. Flew out to sea, really thought it would head towards the trees.

Right in the heart

I loved this drama. Yes it was emotional, yes it gets you thinking, attacks your senses from all sides. It was beautifully done, excellent cinematography and the topic of terminal illness handled with care & realistically.

Characters were all well portrayed. I literally wanted to know everyone’s story. It all knitted together well. Powerful scenes that left you going through each emotion with the characters.

Weeks later, this drama is still on my mind. Listening to the OST in my car, I sometimes can’t make it through an entire song. Maybe because of the ML own battle with cancer and art imitating life.

I would rewatch, only when I am feeling braver stronger and know it won’t wreck my for days!!

When you are up to try something different, give this a try. I was totally surprised by this drama.
Really was not what I was expecting. At all. Kim Woo Bin at his absolute best imho.
