Immersive well-acted Melodrama Romance
An athmosperic stunning Enemies-to-lovers Romance, but not for everyone. (People who dislike sad plots stay away!).Male lead who has revenge vendetta against Female lead...but despite this, both can't help but be drawn to each other.
The acting really stands out, especially Shin Min Ah's performance was unbeliavbly raw and real. Rain did fantastic as well as the downthrodden revenging cold lead who falls for his enemy.
Beautifully directed, which increases immersion...
The OST is one of the best Kdrama OSTs I've heard, which increases immersion further.
The Atmosphere and music of the drama remains with me now still YEARS LATER.

Not for Cosmopolitan people, normalizes Stagnation
I couldn't relate to this drama.I found the overall life philosophy all wrong.
I've been thinking what exactly I found wrong:
Romantizising sacrifice and being an eternal victim. Martyrdom Complex.
Especially normalizing women sacrifizing all for family.
Normalizing giving up dreams rather than AT LEAST trying to move forward EVEN A LITTLE.
A drama about STAGNATION and Anti-selfgrowth.
To me life is about moving forward and improving your circumstances, not accepting your circumstances.
Even if the process is slow and hard, it's much better than this ETERNAL VICTIMHOOD this drama disgustingly praises...
EXPLORATION, rather than just being stuck in a small island all life....
This drama is definitely not for more cosmopolitan city people or multiligual people who enjoy travel...
Drama more for people who grew up in small towns similarly to the leads...

Interesting MINI-DOCUMENTARIES
Each ep is 15 minutes x 4 Documentaries.15 Minute Documentaries about Various Topics, each has "Mystery" as common topic.
From rumors about a mysterious timetraveller in 1800s, to Mysterious behaviour of visiting racists to change their views......Highly Engaging.
Great immersion through Dramatic editing & acting, voiceovers.
