High Quality Across the Board

What a wonderful series! Everything about it was excellently done, entertaining, and engaging.

Story: Nicely written with well-timed plot development. It was a complicated story to tell and each new aspect was revealed with enough time to digest it and incorporate it into the preceding events. There was' very good continuity of logical progression and a skillful, smooth meshing of plot and character development. Very good dialogue - appropriate to each character, and there were nuances and details in the wording that were placed naturally - which can be tricky to do.

Acting/Cast: Almost every role was cast perfectly and acted with accuracy, depth, and skill. If there was a flaw, it was in the sister of the main character, but for me, not being intimately familiar with Korean culture, she seemed overly dramatic and shallow - not up to par with the rest of the company. I truly enjoyed watching the characters come to know each other better, to start trusting one another first with a little trepidation and then unhesitatingly. Each had normal human flaws - another breath of fresh air.

Music: The only time I pay attention to the music is if it annoys me - otherwise the best I can do is say it was OK.

Rewatch value: I'm giving it a 10 because there were twists and turns and layers to how the plot played out that merit a rewatch to better appreciate the intricacy of the story development and how smoothly the actors handled it.
