*"I can forgive you but you shouldn't have abandoned me"*

[@dream_with_bangtan4512]

chaeryong revenge is actually brilliant and the most effective. Guilt, doubting each other between husband and wife and friends for all their life lead to the worst suffer. However, these all wouldn't happen if only they can forgive, ask for forgiveness and believe others' forgiveness for them. Chaeryong already able to forgive but all her friends' reactions make her change her mind lead to the revenge plot. I have a good cry for this drama. I think i'll binge-watching drama special after this :)

[@fitrin]

This is so sad yet so true. We might doesn't have the same situation as theirs but the emotions are real. Believe it or not, we have that kind of insecurity and doubts that we let them grow in ourselves to the extend that we refuse to see other's good intentions. Man, this is really one nice thought out drama. Good job for the staffs and actors behind it.

[@divyuh]

this drama will never get old- kbs really knows what people go through these days, i cried so much during this

[@AkuNie29]

Hujung² ending pun diorg langsung tak penah rasa bersalah.... Kalo ikutkan story nie, diorg nie sebenarnya hasad dengki kat Chaeryeong sebab Chaeryeong ada segala²nya.... Sedangkan diorg cuma middle class jea.... Itulah dari kawan jadi lawan, musuh dlm selimut.... Better jauhkanlah diri drpd manusia toxic....

[@hillaryoi8946]

I'm crying because some people do really die alone like this.

[@tunicy15]

they're really bad friend tbh. never once did they trust her words, even a little bit. instead of appologizing and trying to make up for their mistakes, they just decided not to be close to her in fear of revenge ?!!?! it just shows how evil we are. we're quick to doubt, we find it easier to think badly about one rather than the opposite. this is really sad....

[@soaygala3386]

The story line is so sad.. Especially her last moments.. Love the background music :-) it really suits the story :-)

[@kekeavia724]

A well executed drama that illustrated the impact on four close friends after a terrible incident. However, instead of making things right, it was the actions of friends that wrote the ending of the story. I think mostly everyone can sympathize and understand Chaeryeong in this situation. After all these years, mothing has changed. Now, instead of hiding behind their parents, they hide behind their insecurities, and paranoia, while shifting blame on Chaeryeong for the mishaps in their lives. Little did they know... I LOVE special dramas! :)

[@lovesuper111]

OMGGGGGG....WOW !!! Very sad but very true, this is the reality for you. Everyone is only thinking about themselves, the selfish world everyone lives in today. Really well executed by all the actors :D

[@preettyE]

Wow. This is so good. And the part where Chaeryeong lashed out at them, the acting was amazing

[@sunnyqlh]

so sad that she had to do that... they don't even have any guilt over what happened when they were younger

[@myamada8648]

Aqilah Amiㅔ

[@raissalianna889]

They have! That's why they're so paranoid....

[@tweekbrews5623]

@@raissalianna889 No, they didn't really have guilt. They were being selfish and were paranoid/anxious because they're scared they'll get caught for their crimes.

[@dutchessdioji9368]

Yes, they did but were too frightened to go against school authorities, the boys powerful parents and their own parents. The repercussion of coming forward would destroy their lives as well. Later in years, no one knew where she was or even if she was alive, as she was living abroad.

[@suheejun]

Woah... How can they live in that kind of society. The school image is more important than the teenagers' scar

[@kristinesharp6286]

It’s not really the school image. The boys were connected. In Korea back then your employer looked at your family and not just you with hiring and firing. The boys families solved it with money. Not unlike Michael Jackson, the Boy Scouts, etc... not unique to Korea. Sounds like one of the boys was killed. Sounds like that family suffered not letting it go through the law properly.

[@Priscaxbabe]

This was brilliant. Not too sad and a clever plot twist, really gets you thinking.

[@megainshrestha]

the best revenge ever charyeong gets her revenge she died but gave a lesson what she felt alone by herself they will not be forgetting this for their death

[@naya7524]

Thats wey we cannot trust anyone 100% even they are our best friend...just believe in our self that we can do the best to be trusted by people we loved....

A powerful movie. Well written. Excellent acting. The best movie I've seen.

[@dksohtera]

Excellent plot, suspenseful, and unpredictable. I enjoyed storyline

[@watercrest]

How come in movies and tv shows, there is always that one person that trips and doesn't bother to get up...

[@marielibutan1863]

Water Crest ,Same thing in real life..So sad !!

[@sharadam9477]

Yes y like that? Y cant they put life n efforts on it?

[@vitalisiwueze4656]

That is life of human beings. They only think the best for themselves. That's why I don't believe in true friendship, love or relationships because these are words that gives you the opposite of what you want. Insecurity is the greatest fear of mankind...

[@liyaevelyn1687]

These is so sad😭. I wanted her to have her happy ever after.😢

[@fridelynsanchez2558]

Bestfriend is ur best enemy...☹☹☹

[@DaneAxle]

It was so sad that no one ever think about how she's doing all along after that incident :(

[@jacquelieno6789]

I do not understand they left her there alone in the first place with those bad guys..I would have never left my friend there..I would even risk the change being hurt too..better that than walk away..how can you do that?!

[@yashikatiwari6050]

I think after so long people have to forget about that and when she came to them they have to greet her with a bright smile and don't try to remember her past or what ever happened with her past .

[@xixi4022]

This made me cry ...after watching it, up to the end. Tears fall down from my eye. 😢

[@shaneerika]

I love these short kbs drama specials. So interesting and clever

[@TaigaToraDora]

Wow.... This was brilliant. I am speechless. The actors, the plot, everything was just amazing.

[@myominoo71]

This drama vividly shows the ugly side of human nature. Selfishness. These special dramas are so much more interesting than the long boring family dramas with their contrived plots and terrible direction and acting. If you have watched one series you have watched others also because the plots are basically the same.

[@rosemirindavargas4556]

They don't even have a chance to open up to each other, cheer each other and know the truth behind all of the things that happen.

[@uchu1092]

2019. This is brilliant. She was able to forgive at first but their reaction is changing her mind. She knew she is dying soon. So she killed herself, so that they won't be able to forget her and doubting each other. All these years, she still carrying their photos together. They don't even want to find her. So that's a good revenge.

[@gwenchristain4300]

You really think killing yourself is the best kinda revenge?? You didn't accomplish anything If so

[@Winnie-ch4uy]

Gwen Christain because after all she is going to die soon. So killing herself means nothing

[@summernilo9969]

Chaeryong's smile turning into an evil glare is scary as fuck

[@scarletmason7118]

[@Frea_]

this is sooo good yet so sad T___T how can they live like that without even apologizing to her?

Whoa... I am speechless. Like, oh gosh, that was sad. Thank you KBS, I loved this drama.

[@ianna2315]

Love this drama so much... Amazing storyline and brilliant actors.

[@akuxsukaassgnmnt]

I figured it out earlier how charyeong died, when all three friends and the husband started to suspect each other. and my guess was right...

[@hannahan2870]

me too..i figured it out even earlier..maybe in the middle of the story or even earlier when they meet at the restaurant..

[@thatanoba6686]

Touching story about friendship 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@bnlaishram7422]

The concept is kinda like a japanese drama which is somewhat scary with lots of twist and plot.

[@melanyreyes2215]

I love how they all have bangs style

[@raissalianna889]

Wow more stories like this please! Love it hehe

[@michyhawj]

Those are so f$@& up friends. Drama is so sad but all the veteran actresses did a great job.

[@goldenangel5245]

For people who didn't understand, she didn't kill herself, i think she has a disease and the treatment didn't cure her, she knew that she'll die that day so she called them to go to her house so that she doesn't dievalone, and she didn't even think about taking revenge, they were thinking of her that way cuz they were feeling guilty about what happened in the past and kept blaming her for everything happening to them, she didn't have a grudge on them because of what happened to her, but still, they betrayed her and cut her off, she already forgave them but she really wanted them to apologize Then on the day she died, it seems that she thought that they weren't going to her cuz theyvwere late, so she burned the death note thinking that it would be useless This is how i understood the movie This is one of the best movies I've ever watched, it's full of suspense, emotions and the actors are so talented

[@zinebelghosni5672]

Plz can you explain to me the husband part ? Why he came to her that day at night and hugged ??

[@norab1423]

It's kind of sad. Knowing that she's going to die soon, all she ever wanted was to cherished the old good times she had when they were friends. But the guilt, suspicion and hatred clearly shown on her friends faces destroyed her heart and her hope to rekindle the lost friendship. They can't accept her because of their guilt. They can't accept her because they kept comparing them selves to her. Since they betrayed and turned against her once, they thought she will avenge and hate them if they were in her shoes. It shows a true character of person comes from inside...

[@daydreamer3991]

So, did the police and her friends find out it was a suicide or the ending showed that they would keep blaming each other??

[@mydang2002]

This reminds me of Pretty Little Liars

[@CaroleMcDonnell]

Wow! That was so good! Thanks, KBS!

[@nolzleena]

This is sad and twisted at the same time. I don't know what to feel.

[@delightfulight]

So sad that they arent know about the truth

[@editzsuzy2818]

Such a bad company. Such a bunch of thugs. All of them cared about their own life. Such a selfish brats. They didn't even apologized to her.

[@ChitraPoojari123]

[@Wohdaknaggran]

This is really a great drama!

[@gwenchristain4300]

How long do you think they'll remember you for, you took your life for revenge that is the best gift you can give to them. After a rough investigation and they're found innocent your death is in vain😡 they'll be relieved from the past and forget you entirely and you miss accomplished nothing

[@mariahvilla2138]

This is just way too sad!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭........😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. I just don't get why her exboyfriend was a suspect??

[@rossfaithbanlaoi9742]

That's where everything went wrong. They placed malice in her pure intent of just getting everything back to normal. Now, they even doubt each other. It's DOUBT that made things so complicated. Gaaaaaah! Chaeryong! 너모 볼상해 😭

[@jacquelieno6789]

in the first place when it went really wrong; was for me the decision by the adults&teachers??? to ignore this victim girl and have her abandoned from her closest friends it is such an unbelievable weird & unrealistic choice..this would in my culture be unthinkable and punished by law..those teachers definitely loose their jobs

[@bibirainrain]

this drama was well made. suspense through the beginning till the end. must watch.

[@jabnia3164]

this was very depressing.. I feel so bad for Chaeryeong :(

[@aditi7081]

Everyone was right in their places but when the victim again showed up by forgiving them already in order to share some good and happy moments so that she could not feel herself lonely, the 3 thought she was there to take revenge instead of being thankful that she had forgave what happened in the past and don't believe her. They even doubted her even when she was innocent. After she shown up they all thought that whatever wrong is going in their lives is bcoz of her which is not good. Although they all were unable to do anything when they were young but now they were adults they should understand her and comfort her instead of showing such awkward and wired looks. I think what the victim did in the last was just bcoz they all can fell guilt about what they did and making them remember about her. Although they all were too sad about her and struggling in their lives but in order to make them realise that they should remember her as a friend she did all this. The last part where she was telling about all the incidence really made me cry and feel sad that there are still many people who are suffering the same as she did.

[@kristinesharp6286]

She didn’t do it for what they did long ago. But for what they did in the last few days. Revenge would have been against the boys who hurt her.

[@dutchessdioji9368]

I don't understand how taking one's own life in order to seek revenge and " brilliant" are even in the same sentence. It may be brilliant writing but in reality this would be an idiotic thing to do. If she did a little investigating, 2 of the 3 women were already either stressed out or miserable. I guess she didn't have time to sit back and allow karma to do its thing. This was sad all around.

[@manmeetroy5191]

She was anyway going to die. She didn't have much time left in her hands and that's why she came back so she doesn't die alone. So, she just framed her death in a way to take her revenge. :)

[@kristinesharp6286]

Everyone is miserable. She just wanted a few friends in her last days. Her days were numbered.
