Kim Woo-bin and Suzy's drama 'Uncontrollably Fond' is being re-examined

The 2016 KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Uncontrollably Fond' is gaining renewed attention, highlighting the rediscovery of Kim Woo-bin and Suzy. Despite starting with high viewership ratings, the drama left some viewers with a sense of regret at the time, but it is now being re-examined amid a re-watching trend, drawing public interest.

'Uncontrollably Fond' portrays the poignant romance between Shin Joon-young (Kim Woo-bin), a terminally ill top star, and No Eul (Suzy), a documentary producer. The story follows two individuals who were separated by a painful past and reunite to develop their love, incorporating melodramatic elements such as birth secrets, revenge, and terminal illness. While it garnered high expectations with a 12.5% viewership rating for its first episode, the drama's ratings declined due to conventional plot development and the limitations of pre-production, leading to some disappointment.

Despite these criticisms, bloggers praise the exceptional visual chemistry between Kim Woo-bin and Suzy, along with the actors' nuanced emotional performances, which they believe leave a deeper impression upon re-watching. The drama's original soundtrack (OST) is particularly remembered by many as an element that enhances the work's emotional impact. Unlike fast-paced contemporary romances, 'Uncontrollably Fond' builds emotions slowly, possessing a charm that makes viewers revisit it for its lingering sense of wistfulness and profound emotion.
