This drama will be on my "all time favorite" list, which means I could watch this drama many times over and not be tired of it. It was not a typical love story due to the fact of the unusual difficult challenges that both leads had to overcome but the drama really drove home the question to the audience of "Do we really love people for who they are on the inside or would we not love them if their outside appearance changed or if they had a disability? I loved the character of Seo Do Jae, who overcame his own fears and became an unstoppable, relentless love to Han Se Gye despite her unusual issues. Episode 11 was a scenic and demonstrative exposition of the most romantic gestures that I have ever seen in a Korean drama by a male lead character toward the female lead. You also have to understand the things that happened prior to episode 11 to understand how powerful this romantic rendezvous was including the things that he said and did for Han Se Gye.
Special recognition needs to be given to Seo Hyun Jin's ability to portray a woman who had multi-faceted sides and her ability to portray vulnerability on one hand and confidence (with great sassiness) on the other hand. It was quite a sight to see on screen and it made you fall in love with her character more and more.
I would recommend anyone who is thinking about watching this to take the plunge. Please do not try to compare this drama to the movie with the same title (also on Vicki). The story elements between the drama and the movie had some similarities but the narratives told were very different from each other. I liked the drama a little better than the movie because the story was different and the writers had more time to develop a deep and enduring love story between the two lead characters.
