The plot has been amazingly put together. There were no loose ends and the ending was simply beautiful. Everything flowed together and what really helped was that even though it was two very very common plots put together (rich guy, average girl and the marriage contract) you couldn't see each on its own because they were both seamlessly weaved. I'm not sure if that makes sense but I'll move on to the actors and characters now :)
The acting was SPLENDID. Absolutely amazing. The actors really helped bring the characters to life and allowed the beauty of each one to show through. The truth is, when I started the drama there were so many people saying that the male lead was so old and all, and that was kind of in my mind when watching the first few minutes but after that I was able to see him not as the actor but rather as Ji Hoon and that's what really made me love the show.
I loved Hye Soo. Honestly I just loved her from the bottom of my heart. She is such a beautiful person and the actress just made this beauty glow like a thousand stars. A lot of the time, female leads in K-dramas are not my favourite. Even though they might not be annoying or clingy, I don't exactly like them. but Hye Soo was a completely different story. She was kind and caring but not naive, and there was this aura around her that just had me captivated from the start. Maybe it was the way she was around her daughter but she was just a gem, truly. And even though she cried quite a number of times, it wasn't annoying and didn't make her look so vulnerable. Her crying made me want to cry, and I did. This review is taking too long so I'll cut it short.
All the other characters were also so great. I can't believe I'm saying this and right now I'm laughing because obviously the antagonist is very evil and unlikable, right? This is all owed to the plot and the actors who made my day (since I watched it in a day ;))
I recommend this to everyone because I think many people would enjoy this. The ending is totally satisfying and beautiful. That's all I can say. So if you're going to give MC a go, then have fun because you most definitely will and enjoy!
PS. Excuse any mistakes since this is my first review.

I'll begin with the story. It was interesting, and I really liked the whole immortal thing combined with comedy and lightheartedness, and the characters were great. But I feel that it lacked some substance towards the end which kind of made the ending seem a bit rushed and off balance, but it's understandable since it is a short drama. Excluding that, the plot was nice and I really like the little segments after the credits. By the way, be sure to watch those parts.
The acting is where the drama goes a bit downhill (according to me). It wasn't the greatest acting, but it wasn't bad either and I managed to watch the show without cringing at the acting so don't leave this show aside just because I said the acting wasn't that great.
Character-wise the drama was great, especially when it comes to Mi Jo. I found her so refreshing and her outfits were just beautiful, and they suited her perfectly. She maintained her character till the very end which was awesome and the actress did a lovely job. The other characters were nice, especially Jason. He was just amazing and such a wonderful character, even though he wasn't the main focus.
Overall, I think you should give this drama a go just as a break from other intense and long dramas. Though there are some things which could be improved, I enjoyed Love for a Thousand More, and I hope you do too if you are willing to give it a try. So, do enjoy :)

A beautiful, heartwarming drama that was able to do so much in only 3 episodes. Amazing. Page Turner was funny, sweet, emotional and it conveyed so much feeling and depth to me. The end had me smiling while crying, which is weird because I don't usually do the two together.
The characters were really great since each was different but in some way they were relatable (at least, to me they were). At first I was kind of annoyed at the main girl but I didn't hate her, but after a while I managed to understand her and even admire her. Cha Shik (sorry for spelling mistakes) was funny but also determined and energetic which I really liked, and the actor did a great job of naturally portraying this character.
The ending was nice, though I wanted just a tiny bit more. It was definitely a good ending compared to others (many) I've watched, but I feel like the directors (or whoever) should have just added a bit more of the story to completely wrap it up. Of course I understand that this is a 3 episode drama so it's totally fine with me.
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a short, funny and heartwarming drama as a break from those long and dramatic shows.
If you're going to give it a go, then do enjoy!
