I will start of by saying this is one of the best drama I have watch in a long time, sure there was some minor plot holes that other people have mention in there reviews (like how an abandon building isn't covered in graffiti and still has clues left behind), but it wasn't enough to destroy the strong story.

For both the leads, I think this is their strongest role yet, even the minor characters who are forgettable in the beginning but turn out to be a main player in the story. I have yet to see such a strong cast from the leads to the support, in most cases, some dramas have strong lead but very weak support character that kind of ruin the entire show. I was also surprised at how Kim Dong Jun acted, at first I was sketchy mainly because most idol actor are just there to improved the rating and most time the idol actor/actress are just pretty to look at but very bad at acting. ( I won't name names but Master's Sun had an idol actor that, to me, might as well have been edited out cause it was so bad)

The music was not overpowering and complemented well with the story line, but it wasn't something I would search up to listen to again.

I don't particularly like re-watching dramas, however because I liked the drama so much I wouldn't mind re-watching it again with other people.

I think I would have given the story 10/10 instead of 9.5/10 if they had shown Han Moo Gan alive again (*SPOILER ALERT* because Black cease to exist in people's memories and so it changed how Ha Ram was borned, but shouldn't also affect the real Han Moo Gan because then he wouldn't go back to Korea to search the truth) I also would have like to see who Ha Ram was married to and what happened to Leo after he died and how Oh Man Soo ended up. But I guess if they did that, they would need more episodes, so I guess I'll just leave it to my imagination.

BTW, not to be rude but during the last two episodes Go Ah Ra gained a lot of weight. She still looked very cute but it kind of made me realize that I was watching a TV show probably filmed over weeks and months. Not that it was bad, but I was so in the zone while I was watching and then she showed up looking very different than how she was one scene ago.
