Thinking of the loving moments they shared in both lives, the longing and pain of those two lifetimes intertwined, forming a river of grief.

   It's incredibly good! And not too angsty, just a bit angsty for the male lead. The female lead is very clear-headed. During their relationship, her family thought she was just playing around, oh my god! 😆 The male lead fell in love with her at first sight, but didn't want to get married because of his parents. The female lead also misunderstood him, so they broke up. After the breakup, the male lead regretted it and kept pursuing her, but the female lead was very clear-headed and consistently rejected him. She even dated a blind date arranged by her family for a while, making the male lead extremely jealous, hahaha. In the end, the male lead realized the misunderstanding and cleared it up before the female lead agreed to date him again. In short! It's extremely good!!! Everyone should watch it!!!
