Have you seen the ending of the 6-part drama <A Week Before I Die> that aired on Tving? It seems like there were a lot of people who cried after watching the last episode... This fantasy romance starring Gong Myung and Kim Min-ha is not just a simple love story, but also a story about life and death, regret and healing, leaving a lasting impression.

The season is short so you can binge-watch it quickly, and the emotional line is so tight that anyone who sees the ending will want to interpret the work. So today, I'll summarize the plot and the meaning of the last scene all at once.

1. Drama Information A Week Before I Die

2. Summary of the plot of A Week Before I Die (Episodes 1-5)

Jeong Hee-wan (Kim Min-ha) is a college student with no will to live. As she lives each day listlessly, her first love, Kim Ram-woo (Gong Myung), who died in an accident six years ago , reappears as a grim reaper. Ram-woo even knew that Hee-wan would take her own life a week later, and he came down to the underworld to tamper with the underworld in order to watch over her.

Hee-wan initially cannot believe this situation, but when he learns that Ram-woo is really 'dead', he becomes overwhelmed with complex emotions. Memories of the past come back to him, and his guilt over Ram-woo's death resurfaces.

The two resolve past misunderstandings and tick off the bucket list items they wanted to do before they die. They go to the beach, meet old friends, prepare gifts for their families, and find the courage to tell their true feelings that they were unable to tell before.

The reason Hee-wan gave up on life was not simply because of sadness, but because he constantly blamed himself for being involved in Ram-woo's death. Ram-woo appeared to break that chain.

But the problem is that if Hee-wan chooses life, Ram-woo will disappear completely from this world. Ram-woo persuades Hee-wan until the end, and through this conflict, Hee-wan gradually opens his heart and regains the will to live.

3. Interpretation of the ending of Episode 6, A Week Before I Die (Spoiler Alert!)

He spends the rest of the day with Ramwoo, and on the last night, while watching fireworks together on the beach, Ramwoo disappears and Heewan heads to the rooftop. However, right before he attempts suicide, Ramwoo appears again and stops Heewan.

"Saving you is saving me. I will survive until the end and see you later."

In this scene, Ramwoo uses the rule that if you call his name three times, he will disappear, and then makes Hee-wan call him, and then disappears. In order to save Hee-wan, he chose to disappear himself.

Although Ramwoo is gone, his last words and presence give Hee-wan a reason to live.

As time passes, Hee-wan is living a different life than before. He asks the people around him how they are doing, takes care of others before himself, and spends each day more meaningfully. And at the center of it all is ' Ram-woo's memory '.

"I will remember you. I will live. Because for us, loving me is ultimately loving you."

4. The aftertaste of the ending a week before I die

This drama makes it sound less cliche that love can change lives. It’s not just about who lives and dies, but the message that the emotion called “memory” keeps the person alive.

Ramwoo was the grim reaper and her first love, and he was there for Hee-wan until the very end. His absence was not an empty space, but a reason for Hee-wan to live the rest of her life.
