Oh boy this drama is really bad. But, before I get to that I will mention the good. The Cast is really amazing. The premise of the story is fantastic. The acting itself is good. That is about it, the praise I can give to this drama is lack luster at best.

On to the bad and I mean really bad.

While the cast is amazing and the acting is good, the writing is terrible and doesn't give the actors much to work with. It felt as if the writer of this drama had no clue where they wanted the story to go and were writing it as filming took place.

The opening few episodes of this drama are really great and makes you excited to see what comes next. But, then everything that was being built up is just dropped and essentially forgotten by the way side. This happens throughout the drama. Every major conflict or major story element is just dropped at some point so that they can introduce a new one.

Then we have the music, one song is played over and over again in its entirety and every time the person on screen just silently kills time, usually by looking at the scenery, till the song is over. The song is good, but why? .....just why?

Then we come to the worst of the worst the ending of the show. Around when there are 4 episodes left. The story once again decides that even though we are at the climax, of what should be the shows most prominent arc, it gets dropped and we are off on another story thread. OH, but this one is like watching paint dry all the way till the end of the show. Nothing happens, nothing new is achieved, no new lessons were learnt, no new developments are made. These last few episodes feel like filler at its worst and filler is not something that should ever be used to close the story.
