You Are My Rewatchable Drama

Like everyone says, this is a highly rewatchable drama that is both heart warming and intellectually engaging. The A-list leads, Dilraba and Yang Yang, are at the top of their game. The plot is creative and engaging. No obvious plot holes and good pacing while delving into relevant topics such as the dilemma between financial gain vs following your passions. It showcases healthy and mature conversations between the leads with no distracting, time-filler secondary lead couple or those repetitive love triangles found in other formulaic dramas. The e-sports aspect was not my cup of tea, but that's just nit picking, and it was the catalyst for what's to follow.

Love how the drama highlights an aerospace engineer rather than your typical CEO, doctor or cop. On the other hand, I wish this drama didn't perpetuate this idea to postpone starting a family until late 30s, but that doesn't take away from the its overall quality. 9/10 in my book!

It's okay

This was okay. I love Bible, love the guy who played Korn and love the guy who played the doctor in this series, but the guy who played Tonkla; his acting is bad!! His acting was so bad that I almost didn't finish watching this! It felt like his acting was a bit Overkill in some areas, but then not enough Overkill in areas that they're needed to be. He just wasn't a good fit for this, his acting just isn't there. Even when he was in another series that I watched his acting has not changed. Maybe with more practice he'll get better, but wow! He was the only flaw to me in this.

An Exquisite Experience With Weirdly Endearing Characters!!

What happens when a royal nemesis from the past collides with a villain from the present?

This was my first time watching Heo Nam Jun play a positive role, also my first time watching Im Ji Yeon. I was quite unsure of their chemistry, or how the story would shape up, given the fact that they both play characters who give off weird antagonist vibes. Who would think that a legendary villainess from the past would be paired opposite a bratty heir. Im Ji Yeon embodies the very soul of Kang Dam Sim, the First Ranked Royal Consort who was unfairly executed by poison. In her dying moments, her soul is transported to the future with the help of her loyal shaman. Landing in the 21st century, she creates chaos when she has an unexpected encounter with Cha Se Gye, an equally arrogant and cold-hearted chaebol. Instead of acting shocked, she thanks the heavens for a new chance at life and adapts to this new situation where she decides that Cha Se Gye will be her new backer. Poor Se Gye has no choice but to follow the will of this crazy woman who turns his life upside down.

Kinda obsessed with this couple ngl: watch this for the romance you will not be disappointed!

Objectively, I can’t say this drama was perfect from beginning to end. The pacing was weird at times, especially during the second half, and I feel like the whole reincarnation/time travel plot wasn’t very well executed and quite confusing at times. But more on that later.

For me, the biggest selling point of this drama is the sparkling chemistry between the two leads. Honestly, I was convinced it would be great giving the main actors, but I didn’t expect it to be THIS good omg. Sparks were flying between them, from ep 1 to the end. The enemies to lovers trope and the reincarnation/tragic lovers are exactly my jam, I only wished the “enemies” part lasted longer (since they kiss at the end of ep 5 if I remember correctly). Nevertheless, I was giggling like a fool during each of their scenes together, and I’m so glad I waited until almost all the episodes were out, it would have been torture otherwise! I also think the comedic aspect of this drama was very well executed (the second half is more serious, so the change was jarring at first but understandable). The secondary characters didn’t get as much development as the leads, but still they were quite enjoyable to watch, especially the ML’s secretary and the FL’s “manager”. I wish we could see more of the Fl’s rival, since she turned good in the end, it would have been awesome to see a friendship develop between them.

Simply put, I adored their interactions, from their bickering/suspicious phases to their full-on heart eyes/tension filled scenes. Well, the bickering stayed until the end, so they really didn’t change THAT much haha. Despite the ML’s seemingly ruthless and better-than-you attitude, he sure fell hard (and fast!) for the FL. It made way for some pretty funny scenes because his antics gave him so much personality, it was endearing! (sidenote: his dark suits were so striking, in comparison with the FL's colorful and eclectic wardrobe, he truly is a very good-looking man!). The FL was a little more reserved (understandably so, given her past and her situation). However, she slowly but surely allowed him to take a little piece of her heart, and ultimately, the whole thing was in his palms. Outspoken, fierce and caring, she was truly a delight to watch. I only regret that the second half of the show dimmed her light a little. Of course, tragedy stiked a few times so the circonstances weren't the best but it was a stark contrast to her character in the beginning. Still, her character development was the best among all other characters, it was slow, and sometimes she fell back into her old ways, but she was never annoying to watch. I also think the contradiction between the ML’s “full business” persona and his “lovesick” one was very well done, it felt like watching two different individuals at times, the same goes for the FL: she was simply stunning and imposing as a royal consort whereas her younger self as a court servant was certainly more subdued. I just wish we had a little more story on the time between her court servant days and her following status as a consort… Honestly, I think 16 episodes for this one would have been fine, their chemistry alone was enough to justify two more episodes! Add to this a little more insight on Dan sim and the Grand Prince’s story and it would have been perfect!

The acting was phenomenal, especially our two main actors, I was just so glad to watch actors with so many emotions on their faces! Their facial expressions are so lively and “human”, they work so well with their characters, a perfect symbiosis! They also complemented each other very well, during humorous scenes, sad scenes, romantic scenes, I honestly don’t have a single bad thing to say about the characters and their actors. Well, I guess some people can view the ML as quite toxic and overbearing, I can’t say it’s not the case obviously, but it’s just fiction. Personally, I don’t want to watch perfect and “green flags” characters all the time, a little “red flag” here and there can be very entertaining and exciting hehe.

Concerning the plot, I think the first half of the drama was very strong and consistent. It worked very well displaying the FL adapting to a new world, the push and pull of our main leads, ML’s complex familial ties, the whole business environment, etc. I don’t have much to say expect that it was a smooth ride, it was intriguing and fun, and sparks were flying like crazy already so overall a 10/10.

Now for the second half, I can’t say the sudden change in tones was well executed, it felt a little messy and the villain felt underdeveloped. I love a good villain, and while the actor did his best and portrayed a kinda crazy antagonist very well, his reasons for being so evil weren’t quite clear: From a young age, he manipulated the ML’s grandfather and initiated an obvious rivalry with him, but I don’t understand, it would have been way easier for him to become friends with the ML instead and still achieve his goal ? In the end, he was super rich and in charge of a good portion of the company, so I guess he did all that just to become the sole successor of his uncle… So, he was malicious just for the love of the game in my opinion. In any case, he felt quite one dimensional and didn’t get any development whatsoever.

Moreover, the time travel/reincarnation plot was confusing for me. I understand Seo ri and Dan sim first exchanged bodies during their accident in the lake when they were 10-12 yo (the original Seo ri in the car with her parents and Dan sim when she ran away from a tiger and fell in the water if I remember correctly) so it was indeed the original Seo ri that fell in love with the Grand Prince and later died by poison, and she returned in her original body when she awoke in the present time and vice versa. But then why didn’t she have any memories of her younger days in the present time when she first “went” to Joseon? I guess it was better for the plot… Also, it would mean that Dan sim awoke in the present time, and had to adapt to modern times (like Seo ri in the beginning of the drama)? But then, wouldn’t she have written about that in her diaries?? This is why she didn’t have the same acting talent as the original Seo ri, and was very meek and timid in comparison to her… Well maybe it kinda makes sense, I honestly don’t know anymore lol.

Another thing I found a little underdeveloped was their past selves in the Joseon period. The viewer understands that Seo Ri fell in love with the Grand Prince and was utilized as bait by the Crown Prince to keep his brother away from the crown. But then, why does she seem “happy” with the Crown Prince/his Highness during flashbacks scenes when she is in the palace as a consort? I guess she didn’t have much a choice because she wanted to survive and couldn’t refuse him, but she obviously knew that he was the cause of the Grand Prince’s exile, AND he also tricked her into eating the soup made with the dog she cared for?? Didn’t she hate him for that?? Maybe I’m nitpicking but it was a little confusing for me in the end.

Overall, the second half of the show felt a little repetitive: the villain had a billion tricks under his sleeve to take down the good guys, our leads were only pawns to his games until the last episode. And his downfall wasn’t very satisfying in my opinion. Also, some scenes between our leads were redundant: the FL is in danger/hurt, the ML screams at her because he’s worried, she’s hurt by his words and leaves, and so on.... There isn’t an actual “official” breakup per say, but their relationship has ups and downs that’s for sure! I’m not particularly mad about that, but I can understand why it would seem boring to other people, especially those who aren’t familiar with the genre.

In the end, most of the questions were answered (apart from my confusion regarding the time travel plot and the villain, also the FL's coworker what was her deal??? She did an 180 on the FL, without an ounce of explanation to her sudden change in attitude). To compare, I think this drama is a good mix between Destined with you and The Story of Park's Marriage Contract. I absolutely loved our leads, and the romance was nearly perfect: a lot of funny and swoon worthy moments, and a push and pull that was impossible to resist, I wouldn’t be surprised if they won an award! Overall, the ending was very satisfying regarding our couple, and most of the secondary characters. I only wished for an extra scene between the FL and the ML’s grandfather. But oh well, the last episode was already a rollercoaster of emotions and very gratifying, and I will miss these characters very much now. :')

So many people are discussing this on feeds. So I decided to watch it to see if it’s actually worth the hype. Haha... Let’s dive in and discuss this drama!

This is the story of Cheng Yi Chen (YC) and Lu Feng (LF). Their love story spans over a decade, from their innocent school days to a fraught, intense adulthood.

YC is a quiet, diligent student from an ordinary family, while LF is a rebellious and wealthy heir who lives by his own rules.

They knew each other in high school, where LF often bullied YC. But everything changed during their university years when they were placed in the same dorm room. LF finally dropped his bullying act and became friends with YC. As it turned out, LF had harbored feelings for YC all along; but as a teenage boy who didn't know how to handle his emotions, he had initially expressed his affection through bullying. As they spend more time together, their relationship deepens, and the two young men eventually fall deeply in love, forming a profound bond.

When their romance is discovered, they face intense opposition from their families and the people around them. LF is sent to the United States under his family's control, while YC is forced to transfer schools and rebuild his life without the one person he cannot forget. Separated by oceans and with no certainty of ever seeing each other again, their love becomes a memory that neither of them can escape.

Years later, fate brings them together once more. By then, both men had changed. YC has tried to move on and leave the past behind, while LF has never truly let go of him. Determined to reclaim what he lost, LF re-enters YC's life and pursues him with unwavering persistence.

They finally decided to try again for a second time, but reality quickly hit them. LF was ready to fight openly for their future, whereas YC was far more cautious, constantly torn between his love for LF, his responsibilities toward his family, and the harsh reality that the outside world still does not accept them.

This difference creates a growing gap between them. The breaking point comes when YC’s family situation becomes increasingly difficult, particularly because of his mother's illness and her inability to accept his relationship with another man. Rather than continuing to fight, YC chooses sacrifice. He pushes LF away, believing that ending their relationship is the only way to fulfill his duties as a son.

For LF, this second separation is even more devastating than the first. During their youth, he could blame circumstances and family interference. This time, however, he feels that YC is choosing to abandon him. Having already lost years of his life because they were forced apart, LF cannot bear the thought of losing YC again. His anger, desperation, and obsession intensify as he views YC's decision as a betrayal of the promises they once made to each other.

Years later, they crossed paths again. But this time, LF has completely shed the gentler side of himself and transformed into his ultimate toxic form. Consumed by a desperate need for revenge and an absolute refusal to let YC leave him again, LF resorts to extreme and controlling measures. He keeps YC under constant watch, using emotional manipulation, confinement, and surveillance to trap him in a gilded cage of his own making.

Yet, despite the intense psychological warfare and the sheer toxicity of the situation, YC never truly stopped loving LF. He tolerated a staggering amount of cruelty, recognizing that LF’s destructive behavior stemmed from deep, unhealed trauma and overwhelming heartbreak.

So, how does their story ultimately end? Will they finally break free from the trauma that has haunted them for years, or will that trauma ultimately destroy one—or both—of them?

That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers.

What I like:
+ The growing pain is so real
+ How protective Yi Chuan (YC’s brother) is for YC.
+ YC & LF inescapable and consuming their feelings for each other.
+ The bitter harsh reality in Asians county. Unlike Thai BL where everyone seem accepting gays, here we can really witness the harsh reality when gays not accepted.

What too much for me to handle:
- The sheer of toxicity & feel the ownership that LF had for YC

Overall this quite worth the hype

i am happily married to this show. forever.

somehow, i always find my way back to this series. i've said this before but this series navigates love in every kind of way soso beautifully im still stunned.

"myung-ha, you don't have to go through everything by yourself anymore."

this shows the kind of love that surrounds the average person - the love of support. the fact that 29 year old tae myung-ha had forms of depression and ended up drowning himself but then regretted it at the last second and begged to stay in death shows that we should all be given chances - and give life a chance to improve and to find love in all forms.

"i want to stay. i want to stay. with yeo-woon"

this shows the intense affection - and eventually love - myung-ha possesses for yeo-woon and how experiencing life through his younger self helped him learn to love and find happiness in the small things. he at first rejected yeo-woon but started to fall for him. every time i watch the scene of them on the rooftop and myung-ha says "i love you cha yeo-woon" under his breath, i still giggle. one of my favourite bits.

"but cha yeo-woon is still unhappy / that's just life / but being fated to live that kind of life, is just so unfair."

i love this scene. it shows not only the perspective of myung-ha on love and society, it depicts the savage way some people are just left alone and don't get their happy ending. they are pushed away and are forgotten. this series brings the idea of including everybody and finding your own unexpected happy ending.

as i've said before - this series is not about a game. i love to think of it as the game is a message to its viewers about the events and roads of life. the "system errors" that myung-ha experiences pop up when events in any human being's life happens - the first i love you, the tragedy of picking between people, feeling rejection and loneliness.
the fact that this concept was all to make tae myung-ha love himself and find happiness breaks me everytime - it was never about cha yeo-woon (no offence, he's still so adorable and so key to the story).

"and i died like that on that day. but i regretted it at the last minute. regretting everything."

"i wish that i would disappear"

these are spoken by 29 year old tae myung-ha, who shows strong signs of depression and ends up drowning himself, though regretting it at the last minute. this shows a darker side to the human mind - that it can twist and turn against it's own body if it experiences unpleasant emotions and events. for tae myung-ha, being alone and rejected by his mother is enough to be gone. he is then given a chance to enjoy life again and find that happiness that had disappeared. it sends a message that even if the darkest of tunnels, you can still find a light.
i love this series with everything because not only are cha yeo-woon and tae myung-ha SO ADORABLE, it discusses every form of love: romantic, platonic, relative - everything. it also has darker topics as shown by senior tae myung-ha who is entirely alone and abandoned.

dare i say best kbl i've ever seen and probably will ever see. yes, i do dare.

"senior. i get it now why you like the sea. im starting to like it too."

it was never about the sea...👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

Minoru was the brother I preferred and feel like he showed more external consequences whereas Makoto showed more internal consequences of their parent's death.
Minoru struggled with social interactions and seemed not to talk to many people and had no friends
Makoto being the older one, had tk be the strong onw for his brother and hold everything together. This drama portrayed human emotion incredibly like the fact Minoru shut down completely and never ate when he cooked food for his brother when Mogi was discovered to have killed their parents and then died so couldn't get an explanation but left the cooking recipes for the brothers.

The actual story on how they discovered their parent's murderer was confusing at times like the role of the ex police officer that was still in contact with detective Koike. I'm still unsure on detective Koike role other than the fact he was was in charge of the case and failed to catch the perpetrator. It was fully explained in detail in certain aspects making it difficult to follow at times and understand people's decisions that they made.

This showed human nature of pain, sorrow and trust that can be manipulated or broken in different ways and how it affected people. It made me cry at betrayals, laugh at good memories and hope that the culprit was found.

Straordinario... non rende l'idea.

Vostro onore, lo ammetto: Extraordinary Attorney Woo è quella serie che inizi pensando “ok, un legal drama… perché no” e finisci per guardare con lo stesso coinvolgimento emotivo con cui seguiresti una finale dei Mondiali… ma con più lacrime e decisamente meno fuorigioco.
La protagonista, Woo Young-woo, è un’avvocata brillante con una memoria fotografica e una passione per le balene che riesce a infilare in qualsiasi conversazione. E quando dico qualsiasi, intendo proprio che potresti parlare di un contratto e ritrovarti in una lezione sui cetacei.
E la cosa assurda? Funziona. Sempre.
A un certo punto inizi a pensare: “Ma forse il problema non sono le balene… siamo noi che non le usiamo abbastanza negli argomenti.”
La struttura è quella del classico procedural: caso nuovo ogni episodio, soluzione creativa, giudice soddisfatto. Solo che qui ogni causa diventa un piccolo viaggio esistenziale. Parti pensando di capire chi ha torto e chi ha ragione e finisci a mettere in discussione la tua emotività, il sistema legale e anche le tue scelte di vita (tipo: “perché non ho studiato legge anch’io?”).
La recitazione è di quelle che non lasciano spazio al cinismo. Park Eun-bin è semplicemente magnetica: ogni gesto, ogni pausa, ogni sguardo è calibrato con una precisione tale che il tuo stesso modo di respirare inizia a sembrarti improvvisato.
E il resto del cast? Perfettamente sincronizzato. Nessuno ruba la scena, ma tutti contribuiscono a costruire un mondo in cui vuoi restare. Anche quando ti spezza un po’ dentro.
E poi c’è il lato romantico.
Ah, il lato romantico. (Sì, lo ammetto: sono perdutamente innamorata di lui.)
È quella cosa che non arriva con i fuochi d’artificio, ma con una delicatezza tale che quasi non te ne accorgi… finché non ti ritrovi a sorridere come una cretina davanti allo schermo. È una relazione fatta di piccoli gesti, attenzioni, momenti goffi ma sinceri. Niente drammi urlati, niente “ti amo” sotto la pioggia gridato al vento. Solo due persone che… si scelgono piano.
E attraverso la loro relazione emergono anche i pregiudizi.
Perché sì, non mi nascondo: io per prima non sapevo davvero cosa fosse l’autismo. Lo immaginavo come qualcosa di limitante, quasi invalicabile. Invece esiste uno spettro, fatto di sfumature, possibilità e individualità.
Credo che molte critiche al rapporto tra i protagonisti nascano proprio da questa mancanza di conoscenza – la stessa che, in parte, avevo anche io. Ma basta informarsi, cambiare prospettiva, e tutto diventa più reale. La serie lo diventa. Woo e Joon lo diventano.
E questo, incredibilmente, colpisce ancora di più.
Ovviamente non è tutto perfetto.
Alcuni casi si risolvono con un livello di armonia che nella vita reale esiste quanto un parcheggio libero sotto casa alle 19:30. E il mondo intorno a Woo a volte appare fin troppo clemente… quando sappiamo tutti che la realtà sa essere molto più spietata.
Ma sai cosa? Va bene così.
Perché è una serie che non ignora le difficoltà, ma sceglie consapevolmente di non affogarci dentro. E in un panorama in cui il dramma spesso coincide con sofferenza continua, questa scelta è quasi rivoluzionaria.
Verdetto finale: Extraordinary Attorney Woo è una di quelle serie che ti fanno sorridere, riflettere e piangere — spesso senza preavviso.
E soprattutto è la prova definitiva che:
• le balene possono migliorare qualsiasi conversazione,
• l’intelligenza non ammette discriminazioni,
• e sì, anche un legal drama può rubarti il cuore senza nemmeno passare dal tribunale.
È al primo posto della mia classifica personale. Assolutamente da vedere.

MY TOP 2026 C-DRAMA!!!

All the reviews have been talking about the story, the angst, the acting, yes, which all are amazinggg, but can we appreciate the OSTs!?!?!?! THEY HAVE ME HOOOKEED. Also, the cinematography is just fascinating, the scenes are so well put and honestly just beautiful. If I had to point smt out, it would be to see more of grandma's actual personality and not just her being sick, Yes, its important to her character but as someone who has raised her granddaughter alone after all her family's been through, I believe we can see her point of view of the trauma as well. Right now, it just seems she is bringing her granddaughter down. WDYM she left her college entrance exam for you and you did not even say anything to show remorse?
Other than that, LOVEEE THE CAST, THE ACTING, AND HOLLLYYYYYY THE ANGSTTT!

Losing the plot

Somewhere, in the middle of the plot, the writers got their wires crossed, and their characters mixed up. Also, they make the crucial mistake of telling instead of showing. So that the delightfully anachronistic speech of the female lead, and the subsequent hilarity and confounding of the male lead, overall a promising start , flattens out into a drawn out slug of flashbacks to the secondary world not well explained, and a disfunctional relationships with repeated cycles of declarations of love and abandonment. Even a bit of Goblin wasteland thrown in, but with ennui rather than perseverance.. This needed some serious proofreading before making it to production.

I would rewatch just to figure out where the drama wrong.

This show is such an unexpected gem.?

My Royal Nemesis deserves a lot of credit because it managed to do something no Korean drama had done for me in years: keep me completely hooked from beginning to end.

I used to be a huge K-drama fan, but after getting into Chinese dramas, I rarely finished Korean series anymore. In fact, I hadn't completed a K-drama in about three years. I even tried watching popular recent dramas like Perfect Crown, but I eventually lost interest and never finished them.

When My Royal Nemesis first came out, I had no intention of watching it. It became incredibly popular, and everyone seemed to be talking about it, but I still wasn't interested. Then a friend recommended it to me during exam season. I wanted something to play in the background while I studied, so I gave it a chance—and I immediately found myself paying more attention to the drama than to my books.

The story was surprisingly engaging, the soundtrack was excellent, and the acting was fantastic. The male lead was incredibly handsome, and the female lead was both beautiful and very talented. I was especially impressed by Lim Ji-yeon. Seeing her in this role felt completely different from seeing her in The Glory. In that drama, her character was so awful that she was hard to like, but here she came across as sweet, charming, and genuinely lovable. It really shows how talented she is as an actress.

I also watched the Netflix dubbed version instead of my usual Korean audio with subtitles, and I thought the dubbing was very well done. One detail I particularly loved was the way the female lead spoke with old-fashioned expressions. It added a lot of charm to the character and made the historical setting feel even more immersive.

Overall, I had a wonderful time watching this drama. Reading this review, it might sound like I would give it a 9/10, but when I compare it to my all-time favorite dramas, I don't think it quite reaches that level. For me, a 10/10 has to be unforgettable, and an 9 or 10 is reserved for truly exceptional series. Still, a 8/10 is a very strong score, especially considering how difficult it has become for a K-drama to keep my attention these days.

Rating: 8/10

I still hate noble idiocy. Despite the ending, they still need to COMMUNICATE!!

The constant dying and reviving is tiring, like why bother kill some characters if they can comeback later somehow.
But still, i dislike how the writer NEED to kill some of the best good characters like Gu Jun and Jing Jian. And then you have the annoying villain be alive and well, like why tf is Jing Yang somehow got a redemption arc and Jing Zhao can stay alive and didn't face any concequences?!!!

Also Yuan Qi deserve better! the kid barely has a funtioning parents because of everything.

Late to the Hype, But Completely Worth It

This drama wasn't even on my MyDramaList watchlist. I only decided to watch it recently out of curiosity, and although I'm a little late to the hype, I genuinely think it deserves all the praise it received.

What immediately stood out to me was how unique the premise felt. A selectively mute female lead paired with a presidential spokesperson male lead created such an interesting contrast. Their relationship initially appeared to be nothing more than a political arrangement, but as the story progressed, it became clear that there was much more beneath the surface.

The twists were some of the drama's biggest strengths. The revelation that Hong Hee-joo had been living as a stand-in for In-na, followed by the even bigger reveal that Baek Sa-eon himself was also a stand-in and not the "real" Sa-eon, completely changed the way I viewed the story. Looking back, many of their actions and choices suddenly made much more sense.

What I loved most was the emotional depth between the leads. Knowing that Sa-eon had already discovered that Hee-joo was 406 and understood the loneliness, pain, and sacrifices she had endured throughout their three-year marriage made his character even more compelling. The fact that he chose to silently protect and understand her rather than immediately reveal the truth added another layer to their relationship.

The ending was satisfying and emotional, giving the story the closure it deserved.

My only real criticism is that I wish Hong Hee-joo had been written as a slightly stronger character. She was already a well-developed and sympathetic heroine, but I felt there was still untapped potential in her. Considering how much she had bottled up over the years, I wanted to see her express herself more and have moments where she truly stood up for herself.

As for the antagonists, I appreciated how the drama incorporated family conflicts and political power struggles. From the mother and father to the grandfather and the real Sa-eon, each villain served their purpose in the story. However, while they were effective plot devices, none of them became the kind of villains that truly made my blood boil or left a lasting impression. Their arcs were decent, but not particularly exceptional.

Overall, this was a surprisingly enjoyable watch. It offered a refreshing premise, strong plot twists, and a relationship that gradually unfolded in a rewarding way. Despite a few flaws, it's a drama I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something different from the usual romance formula.
