I was honestly hyperventilating from tears, as I couldn't take the beauty and genius acting, but at the same time the heaviness of the scene. and JongWoo's face at the scene in front of his eyes. There are so many moments I would like to highlight in his acting, but this particular part I must write here: the part when we are shown the children holding each other's bloody hands and their faces were shown so scared and alarmed, and then suddenly the separation of hands. That boy is not acting, he is actually living every damn second of his role. It will be very rude of me not to mention that I fell for Yeo JinGoo. This drama started magically, I mean it, when I watching the first 2 episodes I was weeping from the cuteness ad genius acting of the child actors. Rewatch Value 4.0 I am actually glad this drama is over, I would really not survive if it got more extension. Recommended to fans of melodramas and sad stories with good endings. Though it doesn't have a very high rewatch value, I won't mind rewatching my favourite scenes between the main leads. Overall, this drama is a whole package with a memorable cast, a touching story, lots of tears, lots of love and a solid soundtrack. It was that great! Kudos to the director for making it seem so real. Apart from that the child actors were TERRIFIC- especially Kim So Hyun. His chemistry with Yoon Eun Hye was very good and believable to me. Although I am not the biggest fan of Youchun's acting, he impressed me here. I believe this was Yoon Eun Hye and Park Youchun's best role till date. It had a nice pacing and many interesting sides to it. It is both beautiful and poignant in many ways. Okay, I know I am making it sound like some sadistic, boring drama but it is not. That shows us how there's hope even in the darkest of the times. I loved how even though a lot of bad stuff happened to its characters, they were able to bear with it. Even the sub-plots are very interesting, including the romance. They are touching and were successful in moving me. The sad parts of the drama are so wonderfully done (especially the childhood parts) that they will remain in my memory for a long time. It makes room for rest of the plot to build up, leaving scope for a lot of plot development and some amazing character development- which is commendable. What sets this drama apart from so many others is how tragedy is used as a base here instead of some random, bang-up scenario. Often, including tragedy is seen as convenient for Kdrama writers when they want to create the 'shock effect' in the viewer. I am usually critical of tragedy being used as a cheap means to get the plot moving. I loved the whole plot and enjoyed every character in it. For me, of course, this drama worked very well. 'Missing You' falls in more of a makjang-tastic melodrama genre which could have gone wrong. It's got to be one of the most depressing dramas ever. I have noticed how this drama is not received well with a lot of people. This drama now goes straight to my favourites list (*the list keeps on getting longer*). Picking up this drama again after such a long time is one of the best decisions I ever made. Back then, it seemed too depressing for me and I kept it on-hold ever since. Rewatch Value 6.0 I remember trying to watch this drama back in 2012 when it started airing.
