It's not uplifting. Just stress, worry, and disappointment, all the way through.

By episode 30 I was already getting sick of the constant barrage of enemies trying to take down this one poor guy. He never gets a break. All the best cast members die early - Kim Myeong Su,for example, played a great role, and I think I should have checked out when he did.

The whole balance of the thing is lopsided. It's not a bit of adversity, and then a bit of victory here and there, It's just a slog through vileness, grimness, and the sheer onslaught of unsurmountable tragedies.

Drama is supposed to provide a break from the slings and rigors of real life, not a celebration of them.

It's just depressing to watch.
Yuk. I feel dirty. 싫어.
