You have to ask yourself what am I looking for in a drama? well this one is quite base but it is a good one. One of the most exiting dramas i have watched this year in fact, it has you hocked from episode one and you wont be disappointed when it comes to the pace. It tells the story so well and its very good at making you feel for the characters. If you love the normal fast pace over the top dramatic Korean dramas like the once that came before, it is an excellent drama to add to the pile. I mean who doesn't like hidden secrets plots of revenge and a few mistakes?

Ratings Disappointing for a GEM

This is actually my second time watching from two years ago via Covid. I only noticed the low ratings here so I want to give a review to add my support.

We probably have our own lists of complaints about long dramas. Most common is that it got draggy, script, or producers went off skinny dipping along the way, etc. This one isn’t perfect and it has its share of eye rolling scenes (not lots). Here though is why, if it’s your first or you’re looking for a long drama.

I’m not a writer by anything close. However, based on what I would like in a story, this one is pretty good so credit heartedly to writer. It presents the background enough to entice your wanting to know the why and what. Then it slowly peels the layer to answer them. Each episode (104) packs it’s own power so that you are eager to know what happens in next. Each episode connects to what happens next. (Some dramas seems disconnected and leaves you frustrated). You’re absorbed with the characters either with heart flutter or boxing gloves. Leads faces almost the impossibility of ever getting together but theirs is one to cheer for. Children are involved that adds flavor to the story. I have yet to see a korean child actor that disappoints. The two here delivers. Warning though. There’s galore of adults that makes you question the sanity of humanity. Disappointing? Yes, but yeah they’re significant to the story. Villainess delivers to the tee I gotta give you that. In all, it’s a very well weaved connected story that all comes together for everyone to be put in its proper place.

This is a good drama that could’ve been great if not for the fact that it is too long. Even so, the acting is excellent and the story is quite good. The relationship among the leading couple is full of misunderstanding, but the actors really brought depth and real emotions to their characters. The romantic scenes between the lead couple were not the best if one compare to other daily dramas and their intensity and steadfastness while enduring trials and tribulations. The drama is still quiet entertaining. Enjoy it!
