This drama had me hooked from the start, with smart leads, interesting side characters and great pacing. Unlike many other dramas that tend to be draggy or have a very long build up in to nothing this one had a good pace with intrigues and twists in every corner.

When you think one evil is resolved and people can not get more evil there is always someone saying "hold my beer" or more like hold my poisonous wine... Some characters seem easy to kill others put Bruce Willis in die hard to shame... surviving the most devious twists and plans. Partly turning this to a capital punishment propaganda as the only way to stop these really, really, evil people seems to be death... If left to live they will find a way to try to kill you again... basically who doesnt kill you makes them able to try again. While I admit quite a few of the twists could be smelled a mile away, some had me wondering never feeling completely sure... and a few actually caught me off guard.

The friendships are really well balanced, there to balance the evil. The romance is excruciatingly slow and frustrating at times but the gazes, the mimics and the longing is there.

If you are purely in it for the romance (which I thought I was) you will have to wait for it a lot and only get pebbles, but if you are in it for easy to follow intrigues that unfold in a decent pace instead of complicating things this is a good place to find it.

Also, I am not a fan of multiple seasons, but damn am I craving one here... I guess I want more.
