I think it is worth watching...Romance is not the center of the story, but a big part ..... 1st half was nearly perfect !!!
Writing changed around ep. 23 or 24, still good, but some inconsistencies ..... and towards the end a very ridiculous, patched-up "who-done-it" story... won't give spoilers, but u'll know what I mean when u watch ....
It is obvious that after initial script was written, there were several changes of direction in the plot, so some things didn't make sense.
Some things were dragged out needlessly
But still very good and worth watching.... JCW does an excellent job showing his character's very realistic growth.... many interesting side characters .... very interesting story from start to finish!
