Surprisingly Good

I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did.

The Pro's
The acting was fabulous by the whole cast. The story was very well written and engaging even the ending was one of the best wrap ups from a C-Drama that I've yet to find. Even though there was one part at the ending that had me roll my eyes -the "cliché" was just too much ;-) - but it fit, never the less.

Recently I happened to watch a short documentary about the Japanese invasion into Asia and China during the early 1900's. I had no idea that documentary would deepen my understanding of the events surrounding this drama. However, I do not believe it's necessary to know this background but it did give me greater appreciation.

The OST's were beautiful and the whole production was top notch.

For the Con's:
There were a few holes in the storyline, and maybe a few editing blunders. But not enough for me to give this any less than a 10.

All in all, this is not my usual drama to choose to watch. However, this drama will be at the top of my list as one of the best I have ever watched.

Well worth the time.
