I've been watching Korean dramas for a couple of months now and I am more into happy, feel good stories as opposed to the heavy, tear inducing ones. I have to admit I was bugged to watch this drama, although I loved Joong ki in Sunkyunkwan Scandal this being a melodrama loaded with betrayal just seemed too much for me to watch. But like every Korean drama lovers there comes a time when you find yourself left with nothing else to watch so I said "heck, let's give it a try" and I am still so glad I did.

You know when you get bored with a drama that you click on forward to skip some parts and just go to the good ones? I didnt do it for this drama. Each episode will hold you captive and begging for more. The actors were magnificent, I hold Joong Ki's acting with reverence, he was perfect for Kang Ma Roo and this is the only drama where I admired the female lead enough to look for the other drama that she starred in. Chae Won played the role magnificently.

I would have loved to see an episode 24 of this drama though, 20 episodes seemed too short and it made me feel like it was hastily ended.

All in all this is a must watch drama, guaranteed!

You might think 10 on all points is too much and I would say, I'd give it more points if I could. The story is comparable to TTMOPB but with it's own flair. It has all the elements of a great story and the ending will not leave you disappointed. The special effects/CGI are done extremely well that it is worth mentioning. The cast? Ah, Phoenix, my Phoenix! They will make you laugh, bring you to tears, make you mad - all the good stuff which will leave you satiated but wishing for more. Salute to the writers, directors, staff, anyone and everyone who made this phenomenal story.
