Epic Romance and Outstanding OST
Don't be deceived by the negative comments and reviews from these haters. Their complaints stem solely from the fact that the plot didn't align with their desired expectations. If the storyline were too predictable, it would result in a dull and unengaging experience.1500 years of yearning, yet love's embers still glow. That's the spellbinding essence of this drama, where a man's devotion to his lost lover transcends time itself. It's a testament to pure love, beautiful in its rawness and heart-wrenching in its longing. Tears welled in my eyes more than once, especially during Han Ri Ta's hauntingly poignant flashbacks.
But the magic extends beyond the visuals. The soundtrack is a masterpiece, a tapestry of melancholy and yearning that perfectly echoes the story's bittersweet resonance, and its emotional impact is undeniable. It's easily one of the best this year, every note is a whisper of the characters' unspoken desires.
And the acting? Both leads deliver performances that are simply breathtaking, their raw vulnerability tugging at your heartstrings with every scene.
This isn't just a romance; it's an experience. If you're searching for a drama that will sweep you away on a tidal wave of emotion, look no further. This is a must-watch, a testament to the enduring power of love.

Just an average drama
This drama is just okay, nothing too special. The two main leads give good performances, but the story feels kind of been-there-done-that. It's like they took bits and pieces from other Korean dramas and mashed them together. I mean, we've seen the whole "rich mom adopts an orphan" thing a million times before. And of course, her greedy biological kids only care about her money and pretend to be nice after she dies, but they're just trying to grab everything for themselves.However, the adopted child, armed with determination and resilience, stands up against their nefarious actions, striving to protect what is rightfully theirs.
The problem is, even though it's only been five episodes, the drama is already getting repetitive. It's like they're just going in circles without adding anything new. The initial excitement has fizzled out, and it feels like a chore to keep watching.
I don't know about you, but I like dramas that bring something fresh to the table. Yeah, the performances are good, but that's not enough to save a drama that's stuck in the same old clichés. They need to take some risks and surprise us with something unexpected.
In short, this drama is just average. The performances are decent, but the story is lacking in originality. It's like a mixtape of overused plots and tropes. Hopefully, things pick up in the upcoming episodes and give us something to really get hooked on.

Bad acting and a horrible setting
This Korean remake falls short of capturing the essence of the original Taiwanese series. The leads have zero chemistry, and their acting feels super forced. It's like they're just going through the motions- it was so slow and boring. The OSTs are not memorable. They do not add anything to the drama and are quickly forgotten.Even with utmost generosity, I can't rate this remake higher than a 4. The filming location fails to evoke the sentiments of longing and loss that permeate the series. The attempt to modernize the setting detracts from the story's intended atmosphere.
Overall, this remake is just a massive disappointment. It doesn't capture the magic of the original drama, and it's just a waste of time. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this drama to anyone. If you're looking for something good, just stick with the original.
