1. Are the entire cast terminally ill? Clearing up the misconceptions and truths!

First of all, the thing most people are curious about "Are all the cast members currently diagnosed with a terminal illness?" I'll give you the answer first!

To start with the conclusion, NO! Not everyone is currently terminally ill.

 

According to the official introduction, they have a history of being diagnosed with a terminal illness, or It’s a gathering of young people who have battled life-threatening severe illnesses!

 

Having already finished treatment There is a mix of participants who have been declared fully recovered and returned to their daily lives, those who are undergoing ongoing management, and those who are still battling chemotherapy or the aftereffects of transplants.

Rather than simply consuming it as a 'romance between sick patients,' the focus is on the process of characters who have overcome great trials deeply understanding each other's wounds, so the more I watched, the more my heart ached and I found myself rooting for them!

2. A Complete Summary of the Illnesses & Stories of the 8 'My Remaining Romance' Cast Members

From the very first episode, there was a self-introduction segment where they calmly read out their 'diaries of battling illness' instead of their names... and not only the studio MCs (Lee Se-young, Jung Yong-hwa, Dokyeom, and Choi Ye-na), but the viewers as well, all cried together. Let me unravel the stories of the 8 cast members one by one!

4 male cast members
Kim Seon-ho

Diagnosis: Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (Stage 4 blood cancer)

Story: In July 2020, while in the middle of his military service, he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. It was so severe that even narcotic painkillers didn't work. Hearing that he was the only one to survive out of the three fellow soldiers in the same hospital room with whom he had promised to "have a beer together once we were cured" gave me goosebumps and made me burst into tears. Last year, he was declared cured after five years had passed, and he said he was overwhelmed with mixed emotions upon seeing just that single line on his outpatient diagnosis report: "Thank you for your hard work. You don't need to come anymore."

 

Han Dogon

Diagnosis: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Stage 2

Story: He is a young man who was diagnosed in September 2023 and endured three rounds of chemotherapy and fifteen rounds of radiation. He was originally a very healthy person who participated in a soccer club and volunteered actively, so he experienced significant denial when the disease struck. However, he calmly overcame it by telling himself, "This is neither my fault nor anyone else's." He is now in his second year of complete recovery!

 

Kim Ryun-gi

Diagnosis: Gastric cancer (total gastrectomy)

Story: I was diagnosed in November 2025 and underwent major surgery to remove my entire stomach in December. Since my esophagus and small intestine are directly connected, I have already completed half of my eighth round of chemotherapy and am still continuing... It really broke my heart to hear an elderly patient in the hospital room tell me to "eat whatever you want" before the surgery.

 

Kim Jong-eun

Disease Name: Acute Myeloid Leukemia & Graft-Verifier-Host Disease

Story: This is a case where a patient was diagnosed with leukemia in July 2023 and received a bone marrow transplant, but suffered severe aftereffects (host disease). A former Marine with a Level 1 Emergency Medical Technician certification, he dreamed of becoming a firefighter, but he eventually had to give up his dream as his lung function deteriorated, his joints stiffened, and his tear ducts were destroyed... Everyone was heartbroken to see him keeping eye drops made from his own blood refrigerated.

 

4 female cast members
Jeong Ye-ji

Diagnosis: Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Story: She was diagnosed in December 2018 and battled the illness for 4 to 5 years. She reportedly survived near-death experiences to the point where the doctor told her mother to prepare herself. Although she looks perfectly fine on the outside, she confessed that she "felt like she had become an old woman." She says that even her acquaintances were unaware of her struggle, so they will likely be shocked when they watch this broadcast!

 

Seorobin

Diagnosis: Myelodysplastic Syndrome (High-risk group for acute leukemia)

Story: She was diagnosed in November 2022 and received a bone marrow transplant from her eldest sister. My heart broke hearing her sister say, "We have to save you, so why are you hesitating?" She suffered from severe self-loathing after shaving her head, but she has recovered a lot now. Surprisingly, she revealed that she has never been in a relationship, raising expectations for her first romance!

 

Kang Min-young

Diagnosis: Terminal Osteosarcoma

Story: In 2016, at the tender age of just 14 (first year of middle school), I was diagnosed with terminal osteosarcoma. I faced the risk of leg amputation, but I endured the insertion of artificial bone, nine rounds of chemotherapy, and leg surgery. Everyone burst into tears at the confession that throughout my school years, I never once enjoyed a normal daily life like wearing a school uniform and tying my hair back.

 

Kim Na-young

Diagnosis: Acoustic Neuroma (Brain Tumor)

Story: One day, she went to the doctor because she suddenly lost hearing in her left ear, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Since a complete removal carries a high risk of vision loss, she is currently undergoing treatment only to reduce the size of the tumor, so she still can barely hear in her left ear. However, she showed a bright spirit, saying that people who have experienced pain can understand each other more deeply!

3. Heart-pounding unique rules! The 'Room of Time' and the secret of 100 minutes

The way <My Remaining Romance> expresses affection is completely different from existing dating reality shows! There is a device called the 'Time Room'.

Every night, all cast members are given '100 minutes'.

You can give as much time as you want to the person you are attracted to (you can even devote 100 minutes to one person!).

 

Key Point: A date only happens if the combined time the two people allocate to each other is '100 minutes or more'!

In other words, it means that even if I pour 90 minutes into one person, the date falls apart if they don't give me at least 10 minutes! It is a cruel yet exciting rule where unrequited love alone is absolutely not enough, and both minds must be aligned!

 

On top of that The first episode ended with actor Kim Seon-ho dropping a hint that he recognized a face, saying, "Actually, I know that person." MC Lee Se-young was totally freaked out, saying, "Even a drama would get criticized if written like this." She was asking, "When is next Monday coming?!"
