Story: I quite like the story of the drama. It basically based upon family life, sacrifices and circumstances. Throughout the entire series, it focuses on highlighting the different sacrifices that the child who became the head of the family after the incident and what he has done to avert convict for his brother. Decisions, decisions and decisions is another topic in which this covers. The reason for this is because for every decision, there will always be an effect. You will never know if it’s a positive or negative effect. You MUST watch this drama from the very beginning in order to understand what is going on. Every details is supported about their pass which provide the information and scenes that the viewer would want. Also, assumptions is not a good idea for this drama. To be honest with you, I assume that they can overcome it very easy with no complication. Unfortunately, I misjudge the entire part. I basically never read the plot of any dramas that I watch. This is because for me the plot is basically the spoiler of the series, I really hate spoilers especially for length of dramas. In contrast, the romance side of this drama is very exceptional. Like family complication, they also shows the difficulties and complications of love stories. I am actually moved on the romance storyline of this drama. The reason for this is because it is not the typical “we are now together, no problems and lets live a happy live” which is mostly use as the ending of most dramas. However, there is a silver lining for each romantic couples of drama in which the viewer needs to understand and watch. In order for them to understand, they must start from the very start from how they meet, where the spark happen, their difficulties and how they have overcome it. I would say that for the romantic genre of it, there is no disappointment. This is because if you look at the romance parts, it is very stimulating to watch, yet entertaining. I would say that the only drawback for this drama is that it is very long. However, it is quite worth it I would say. If you want family, romance and melodrama series, this is a very good to watch. You will clearly see these genre throughout it. On the other side, the storyline is good to the point that all entangled family life will be in good condition. Casts/ Acting: The casts and their acting performance were outstanding. Even though I clearly did not do a casting check with the drama, they were actually performed very well. If you watched it, you will see that they are all very experience actor/actress. Their way on expressing their emotions on the series is excellent in which it makes you feel the scene. I know it sounds corny, but it is actually true. After you understand what is going on, you will understand why I would say this to be honest. The casts chosen are excellent, it is clearly that we would want to look forward to their other individual drama (especially the rookies). I do not know why, I actually like the antagonist of the drama. This is because you will actually hate him a lot and how jealousy end up with anger, hatred, conviction and envy. I actually would not make any more comments with the casts. The reason behind this is because once you see the drama you will complete disregard their history and focus on the story and how they portray their character. Conclusion: I would say that after watching it all, I will re-watch it, but only the parts that are memorable. This involves love scenes and developments, the family story and even their complication. I specifically ignore the business side of the drama. This is because it is a bit dull and tiresome to watch. I would not recommend it to watch again from the very beginning because it will take you time. Therefore, I specifically want the plotline and how the story develop as well as the casts chosen.
