I apologize for myself for taking two years to finish this masterpiece.

Let me say that it took me a long time to finish this movie because I simply found it boring in the middle. I kept thinking: How can they say it's a masterpiece if I'm dragging my feet to finish it and I don't even want to watch it? And I'm grateful for mdl challenge for making me finish it because, ladies and gentlemen, it's a WORK OF ART.

The last thirty minutes, when the whole explanation of why the whole story happens comes, along with plot twist after plot twist, when you think you've gotten over one, another one is thrown in your face and you just have to deal with the whole mind-blowing feeling.

The acting is very well done, they deserve applause because I really understood both sides of the story. Speaking of which, justice for Mido because in the end, she was just a pawn in a bigger plan and she deserves much more.

What can I say about the ending? I thought about it a lot. What should be the fine line between love and morality? Was Mido the only woman who could truly love Daesung? love is love, even if it's morally wrong?

I apologize to myself for taking two years to see this work of art, and I agree that this film is a Korean classic to watch if you like heavier subjects.
