This series
is exquisite. The acting is superb. The characters are all well developed. The ML and FL's chemistry is palpable. It is easy to feel the circumstances of the characters.
The child star is beautiful.
The villains and meddlers are easy to despise.
The flashbacks are seamless.
The final episodes might have allowed the characters to come to grips with the intervening years more. Too, the characters seem older than they should be, although they have suffered.
Still...
Great story. Each episode is worth watching. The episodes are never padded. In plain words, the ML and FL are jerked around awfully by self-serving characters and life itself throughout this series so that my heart actually hurt for them. The pure and good suffer here.
This is a heavy dose of realism.
I recommend this beautiful series!
