Synopsis (contains major spoilers) :

K and Cream are bestfriends, they have been living together since high school. Both are orphans, K’s dad passed away because of cancer and his mom left him. Cream’s parents and her sister passed away because of an accident. K is a nickname given by Cream, she feels the name Kang Chul Kyu is corny, while K gives her the name Cream because she is cold like an ice cream, also sweet and soft. K really loves Cream, but he’s diagnosed with terminal cancer so he can’t tell her, afraid it will burden her. K’s wish before he died is to marry Cream off with a great man. So when Cream tells K that she’s in love with Joo Hwan, K does his best to unite them, even it means breaking him off with his fiancée (Jenna). Cream and Joo-Hwan then get married, and one month after the wedding, K dies

In the flashback, it was told that Cream actually knew K had terminal cancer. She pretended to fall in love with Joo-Hwan and marry him to grant K’s last wish. Not long after K’s death, Cream follows him by commiting suicide.

This is one of the most tear-jerking movie, and Kwon Sang Woo is also known as an actor specializing in melodrama. So, I kinda expect that this movie would make me shedding tears. Well, that’s absolutely true. At first, I don’t really understand why K just holds back his feeling to Cream and doesn’t tell her that he loves her. I guess if he does tell her then there wont’t be this movie. But, I’m absolutely wrong. A night before her wedding, he told her that he loved her and she answered that she loved him back, but Cream kept getting married. And I’m wondering why didn’t she cancel her wedding? Well maybe, just maybe if she canceled the wedding, then K would know that Cream had known that he would die. Then he would be sad, the thing Cream didn’t want to happen. Beside that, by being her best man, they’re walking down the aisle together and getting married symbolly. Although it’s not flawless, but this movie is really worth to watch.

If I can’t summarize this movie with a song, then the song ‘No one else’- sung by Lee Seung Chul and one of this movie’s ost- really fits it right. Here’s the english translation : 

No One Else

Even if I’m reborn a thousand more times
there wouldn’t be another person like you Mm~
The person who would warm up my sad life
I’m grateful for that person
For that person, my heart could hurt indefinitely.

Even if I can’t tell that I love you,
the fact that I’m able to look at you from a distance,
give you everything and love you
Even if I’m sad, i’m happy

There is no other love in the world
that would make my chest shake with anticipation like this
My one love that I’ve hidden so far within my memories
For a person like you,
I could endure painful tears indefinitely.

Even if I can’t tell that I love you,
the fact that I’m able to look at you from a distance,
give you everything and love you
Even if I’m sad, I’m happy.

I don’t want anything else except your laughter.
With it I’ll be happy
Because love is all about giving, just about giving
So even if I’m sad, I’m happy.

Lesson learnt : loving is a kind of blessing, why should sacrifice your own happiness for the one you love when both of you could be happy together?
