The beginning was great then it went downhill

This film is a deeply moving experience that left a lasting impression on me. The story follows a young man who loses his family to a government-run camp—a tragic backstory that sets the stakes for his journey. After being injured while rescuing villagers, he is taken in by a girl whose initial motives for helping him are entirely selfish. To secure housing, the two enter a marriage of convenience, only to find themselves slowly and authentically falling in love. The scene where they finally prove their devotion to one another was incredibly powerful.

Another standout moment was the subplot involving the lead's sister; her refusal to abandon her husband after he is called away to assist with earthquake relief was truly stirring. Even the "villains" are nuanced, with understandable motivations that make you empathize with their internal battles.

Unfortunately towards the end the story got "lost" and draggy. I would give it 10 rating for the first few episodes and then 7 for the majority of it. I have 1 more episode left and can't bring myself after a few days to even see it. yikes.
