Based on the synopsis, I didn't think I want to watch the drama.. I don't usually read synopsis for dramas but there wasn't much buzz on the drama and I wanted to have a rough idea on what to expect. I was going to ignore it but it was the first time I saw 3 drama premiered at the same time so I wanted to see how it goes. The reviews online are also not much, but when there was, it was promising enough.
Oh My Geumbi is a story of a girl name Geumbi who suffers Niemann-Pick disease. It's a disease that affects her memory and mobility. After Memory, I wasn't sure if I could go through another round in a short period of time. Memory is a masterpiece indeed but it was draining my emotion in so many ways. Dementia is something I really wish never happen to anyone. I think it's one of the saddest disease.
I had the choice of not watching the show but why I stayed on? I just can't help but to admire young talents like Heo Jung Eun and I dare say that if she was nominated for Daesang, it would fit just right. That's how good she was in the drama. Every little gesture was just perfection.
In the past, when I wrote "I teared" I almost always meant figuratively. There might be a tear or two, but it's mostly because I was yawning before hand because it was sad enough for me to want to cry. This drama, I didn't even try to cry.. in fact most of the time I tried to keep myself together because it was just so sad and I watched in public on my phone. During the last episode.. I watched it at home and my tears were falling naturally. I had to pause and grab a puppy to comfort myself.
Maybe I was having PMS, because I knew the ending and I still cried. It was a open happy ending, I should be comforted but nope, the tears are falling for real. There are scenes that I thought was just so painfully realistic. Geumbi parents were arguing about how treatment should go and I tell you now that dilemma is real. I'm the main caregiver to my mom, so my dad fully trust me but when we got conflict, I can always let mom have the final say. I was so sad when Geumbi couldn't choose. Making the right choice for your love ones is never easy, because there's no best choice.
I know sad story is not for everyone, but if you're up for a challenge.. this is a drama that should be appreciated. It's a beautiful story nevertheless. You might not agree with all the things done in this drama but it will provoke your mind in thinking about the other possibilities.
The drama serves a reminder that everyone has a story and health is not to be taken for granted. If only people can see the world like Geumbi does, the world would be a better place. In a way, I think the story is a good representation of adoptive family. Blood may be thicker than water, but love conquers all.
