Marry the person whom you can’t live without.
Those words have been ringing in my head since I read it
from someone’s social media post. All this time, I believe that one should
marry because that basically makes partners happy. I guess this is not much
different from the idea of marrying the person who you wish to be with until
death arrives. It just became even more romantic.
Woo Joo was a well-known performer in Korea but recently his
fan base had decreased. His colleagues believed that he should review his
compositions or that he should try going out with girls. Meanwhile, there's a
grim reaper and a ghost following him around. The girl couldn’t remember her
past but she believed she was saved by Woo Joo so she dedicated her “life” to
protecting Woo Joo. However, his boss found out that she’s been meddling with
humans. He decided to terminate her from her service but offered her with
another chance to live. The catch was she’s not supposed to fulfill her
seven wishes or else she’ll die before him. She still accepted the offer and
came back to life. She followed him around and saved him from the disasters
that befell him. She was mistaken for a stalker at first but later on Woo Joo allowed
him to stay by his side. He fell in love with her and consequently her wishes
had been fulfilled. One night, she discovered that her name was Ha Na and the
man who accidentally killed her was the same man who helped her when she lived
again. She couldn’t forgive him at first but soon she did.
The press found out that Hana and Woo Joo were dating.
He lost a number of his fans again and his concert was also canceled. Hana set
up another concert to her old home and this was attended by his fans. He
performed on stage and sang with his fans. While he’s performing, one fan tried
to stab Hana but Woo Joo was stabbed instead. He was supposed to die but Hana
begged one of the grim reapers to save him and take her instead. In a dramatic
and truth-revealing scene, the higher grim reaper agreed with her conditions.
Woo Joo lived but Hana will eventually die.
After seven years, while her family was playing together.
She heard the sound of the ambulance. She and Woo Joo knew that it was time for
her to leave. She left with no regrets.
How many ghosts were able to get another chance to live
again? I don’t know. If I do, I would have been an expert. I can’t stop crying
after watching this short series. It’s supposed to be a happy ending but it’s
still tragic for me. How can love be so great but too late?
Who suffers more? Is’t the one left behind or the one who
needed to leave? Which is more frightening, to stay alive but left behind by
the one you love or to die for the one you love?
Love has many forms. I hope that no matter how scary it is
to love, we still choose to do it. May we all love and be loved back.
