In the Tving original series ‘One Week Before I Die’, Gong Myung made a late confession to Kim Min Ha.
In episodes 3 and 4 of the Tving original series ‘One Week Before I Die’ (produced by CJ ENM and Studio Mondo, provided by Tving), Ram Woo (played by Gong Myung) confessed his feelings to Hee Wan (played by Kim Min Ha). The heartbreaking confession of “I like you,” which he couldn't express while alive, left a lingering impact. As the secret of the accident that led to Ram Woo's departure from the world was revealed, the tragic fate of the two sparked curiosity about their remaining journey.
At the moment Hee Wan began her first love, Ram Woo was also slowly becoming infatuated with her. To the quiet and introverted Ram Woo, the lively and bold Hee Wan was a fascinating presence. His curiosity about Hee Wan soon developed into first love. The problem was that Hong Seok (played by Jung Geon Joo) also liked Hee Wan. Ram Woo tried to muster the courage to confess, but Hee Wan misunderstood Ram Woo's sincerity after learning about Hong Seok's feelings, causing their timing to be off.
Nevertheless, their feelings for each other grew stronger. The two shared family stories they had never discussed with anyone else. During a graduation trip with Ram Woo, Hee Wan, Hong Seok, and Tae Kyung (played by Oh Woo Ri), they continued to be aware of each other. Ram Woo suggested going to the meteor shower festival, recalling their conversation, and even told Hong Seok that he liked Hee Wan. Fortunately, Hong Seok understood Ram Woo's feelings, and the four friends created lasting memories of their high school days together.
Finally, on the night of the meteor shower, Hee Wan took out a letter for Ram Woo. Coincidentally, she had also won a prize for an observatory event. Hee Wan told Ram Woo that she was giving him “the last chance to be called Jeong Hee Wan” and asked him to go see the shooting stars instead. She handed him a letter filled with her feelings. Ram Woo responded to her by asking, “Do you want to sit together when we go home later?” before heading to the observatory.
However, the gas explosion accident at the observatory changed the children's fates. Ram Woo suddenly left the world due to the accident, and afterward, Hee Wan could not forgive herself. This was because Ram Woo had gone to the observatory in Hee Wan's name. However, Ram Woo did not blame Hee Wan. He returned as a grim reaper because he wanted to see her. Instead, Ram Woo held Hee Wan's hand, confessed his feelings, and expressed what he had not been able to say in the past. Hee Wan shed endless tears in front of Ram Woo.
The ripple effect of the ‘name change’ prank trapped the two in a cruel fate. Hee Wan's image, crumbling under guilt while still unable to forget Ram Woo, evoked sympathy. The pain of Hong Seok, who was present at the scene, and Tae Kyung, who shouted in place of Hee Wan, also touched the viewers' hearts. Additionally, Ram Woo's late confession to Hee Wan brought both sadness and excitement, leaving a lasting impression. The detailed emotional performances of Gong Myung and Kim Min Ha drew viewers into the moment when Ram Woo and Hee Wan finally confirmed their feelings for each other. Gong Myung's calm expression of feelings while shedding tears continuously and Kim Min Ha's explosive display of complex emotions were impressive.
Ram Woo and Hee Wan's time is running out. Hee Wan suggested visiting Ram Woo's mother, Jeong Sook (played by Seo Young Hee), as their last bucket list item. How will the story of the two, who have just confirmed their feelings for each other, end? After the last bucket list item is completed, will Ram Woo really leave Hee Wan's side?
The final episode of the Tving original series ‘One Week Before I Die’ will be released on Thursday, the 17th, at 12 PM on Tving.
