A Thousand Days' Promise
This story is about love in the adversity. A relationship that should've never started but stood stronger than the correct thing to do. Ji Hyung and Seo Yeon knew each other since they were young because her cousin was a very close friend of Ji Hyung. When they bump into each other after a long time of not seeing each other they start dating, even though he is engaged to the daughter of his parents' closest friends and a girl he knew since childhood. The series starts the day Ji Hyung and Seo Yeon break up because his wedding date has been set. Right from the first minute of the series we see something wrong with Seo Yeon. She is lost on her way to their meeting place and she is wearing hair rolls. When a stranger points at her hair she takes the rolls off so we can see she hadn't intended on leaving home with them on. She has intense headaches too which drives her to finally get a health checkup and finds out that she has Alzheimer.
The story feels slow because it takes the audience through her deterioration. We witness her little mishaps and how they progress to bigger and dangerous ones. Ji Hyung decides to marry her and when they find out she is pregnant, Seo Yeon decides to have the baby because after hearing the baby's heartbeat, she can't abort her child. This is a very sad story that touches, not just Ji Hyung and Seo Yeon, but also their families. Her little brother, her cousin and aunt who are always there for her. Ji Hyung's mother, later on his father and even his ex-fiancé, who is a woman with such empathy, forgiveness and love that was incredible at times. She was clingy but she accepted his decision and didn't force him to stay. Her parents are something else too. I can see that her empathy comes from her father. Her mother is feisty and speaks her mind, no filter in the delivery. Yet, I like the fact that the parents are able to stay friends despite what Ji Hyung did to Hyang Ki.
For those who have family members who suffer from this illness, this story is a reminder of painful moments. It is a heartbreaking story but it also has its beautiful moments, those are the ones that carried them throughout the hard times. Ji Hyung kept his promise to love her longer than a thousand days.
P.S. I usually don't talk about performance but this cast was excellent and Soo Ae did a wonderful job portraying Seo Yeon.

Going through my archive to find all the holiday posts I've reblogged and I barely posted in December of 2020 compared to the years before and after
I mean, I know why, but it's still interesting. There's also a general tone shift on the posts around that time and in 2018.

a little gift for coco (after seeing your love language tags):
. . . al haitham will not say this, not yet, but you realise it in his actions. slowly and doubtfully, but there’s just no other explanation. it must be it.
where your feelings are like the soft cushions, used to be unguarded, he now stands like an unbreakable shield of reason and peace — a stability much needed in your life.
whenever you stumble upon your own feet, he’s there with his arm, securing you from a clumsy fall. he pays no mind to it, doesn’t laugh at you, doesn’t comment on it . . . not anymore, not once you became someone so important to him. he secretly loves when you can rely on him.
“are you alright?” is all he asks, and your confirmation is all he needs. he would know immediately if there’s something else chewing on your mind.
his lips may be quiet or the source of rash comments to some . . . but the same lips press the subtlest kisses to your cheeks and your knuckles, promising that he’s with you and always will be.
