I have so many things to say about this drama. This show is about humanising those who society will never forgive. Once you let the writer take you by the hand into his story, trust me, you’ll never let go.

While watching it, so many emotions went through me: I either wanted to hug the characters, or slap them when they were acting dumb, even cry with them. And I laughed. So much. I doubt any drama made me laugh that much before. As in really laugh out loud.

I also have to praise Jung Kyung Ho and Park Hae Soo for their acting: they couldn’t have looked like more friends than what they did. I honestly thought I was watching two best friends just being two best friends.

I loved the subtle and not-so-subtle friendships that grew right in front of our eyes. I loved how slow-paced yet exciting the storyline was. I just wanted to finish the whole thing and see all the characters get their happy endings. This drama is about regretting, and about redemption. Just like in real life, you sometimes don’t understand why people do this or that, but it’s because you don’t know their background stories. If you knew, you’d probably understand.

If there's one thing that left a bittersweet taste it's definitely the fact that you don't get to see what happened for a few characters, I'd have liked to know what happened to them.

I'm happy and sad I finished watching this show: it's the kind of drama you like so much you wonder if you'll ever get to watch something like that again.
Now I remember why I watch korean dramas: I honestly would have never gotten to watch something like that if I had stuck to western TV shows.
