Going into this drama I didn't really know anything about it, but the actors I had previously seen In other works. I was going to find out how much I would like it and how the story was generally pleasing to watch?

The story opens on a mysterious ship going across the Pacific Ocean with two passengers on board Yoon Yoon Shim Deok and Kim Woo Jin that have disappeared. This opening really got me interested in the drama and made me want to keep watching to find out what happened to them.

Then your thrusting into the past where Yun Shim Deok Korea's first soprano is practicing a song that has to do with love, which she knows nothing about yet. Her singing sounded pre-recorded or in other words fake and that really ruined the feel of the scene. It also affected future scene for me, because all I hear is another person in a recording studio sing that part for her and I really wanted authentic singing portrayed in this drama. I do understand why they did it, but it would have made the drama way better by having an actor that could actually sing soprano.

Yoon Yoon Shim Deok and Kim Woo Jin meet and the meeting goes not as planned and it takes her a minute to accept the offer to perform on behalf of the association. Their romance does not start right away, which is nice and slowly starts to develop with real sincere emotions being exchanged between both of them. There is a conflict going around and this put struggles on both of them having to endure being treated so harshly by the Japanese officers, but they perceive and they plan to leave the country together. They both hold each other on the bow and slowly walk over to the edge of the side of the boat and jump. This is just sad and hurts while nearing the end of the drama.

Over the feelings of the drama were sadness and a few happiness. If you love a tragic love story this is for you with clear emotions unfolding as you watch, this is for you.
