Hello ^^ So, i'm mostly through this and thought I'd write a review on it thus far. Firstly, what really sucked me to watching this show was the description given on MDL - i'm a sucker for a good romance. but BE WARNED: while I thought this show would have a drug/gangster secondary story line to COMPLEMENT the romance, its actually the other way around. the gangster theme plays out the main part of the story, and in fact there are far and few scenes thus far between the main leads. (although when there is a scene, its usually really cute :) so do not go into this expecting romance to be the main component - it does play a part, though. HOWEVER! Even though based on the description it wasnt what i thought it would be, its still amazing. The plot is so dark and twisted; I can blatantly and happily admit I have never seen such an unpredictable drama. Also, the characters are great to watch. The lines between "good and bad" are so fuzzy; you never know who to trust or what the motivation behind an action is. it keeps you guessing. It makes the show more human; the characters are round and have so many dimensions instead of your stereotypical bad guy-good guy flat characterization. i would for sure recommend watching this if you love action, suspense, wicked cliff hangers, and some romance :) OH and i forgot to add: holy shit, this show is a tearjerker. be prepared, dude.
