Story

Yoo And Joon Hee are best friends, growing up together and sharing their struggles and school life. But, after Yoo becomes an organ donor for Joon Hee, the two of them will start sharing emotions as well.

Korean Drama All That We Loved is a school drama that focuses on the friendship of the two boys at first, and then on the romance aspect.

The drama used the mystery of what happened between the two boys in the past in order to present their story through flash backs.

However, that needed to be better handled. First of all, the story was rushed in the end, and the whole dramatic effect didn’t work. Also, the ending was anticlimactic and surely it would have been nice if there was a bit more feedback on the continuation of their relationship after that ending.

In addition, the second half was full of unnecessary drama that should have been used in a better way as to showcase how the boys started growing and changing and how their relationship suffered the consequences. But that didn’t happen.

The present story, moreover, was intriguing at first, but got tiring to follow after a while.

At least, the beginning of the drama was interesting and the family bonds between the two boys were sweet.
