Flowers for my Life


Like everyone else, I've been reluctant to watch this series because I knew that the ending would be bittersweet rather than happy. But the moment I've watched it, I instantly felt in love for its profound story.

It's about death. And that alone would scare off anyone. But for some odd reason, it reminds me a little bit of Ernest Hemingway's "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" except without all the dooomed drama.

But unlike the other dramas, this one doesn't dwelt on cheesy plots screaming off that there's death in life and vice versa. Instead each episode conveys an everlasting lesson that would surely touch your heart.

The story presents the usual protagonists: the hero and heroine and the antagonists that make up the love rectangle complete. Although, you would expect to hate the antagonists, we are surprised that we are able to love them because of their weaknesses that make them human. In other words, there is not only one main character in this story because all of them are presented equally with a story of their own.

Everyone has someone you've loved so dearly that has passed and you've missed. Someone so precious that you do not want to forget but you know you cannot forgive them for the pain that they caused.

This drama tells a meaningful message that its best to forget the pain and forgive them. Because it is much more endearing to think of the cherished moments and it is better to let them go so that they can easily rest in peace in heaven.
