could have been amazing

With the cast it had, the incredible scenery, costumes, and sets, and the immersive story laid out in the novel, this could have been an exceptional show. Admittedly, I didn't finish watching it, because I just couldn't get past the changes made from novel to series. And nearly *everything* was changed and, in my opinion, not for the better. Kim Min-ha and Noh (Steve) Sang-hyun were phenomenal. I wanted to keep watching for them alone. It was really too bad that Lee Min-ho's character was changed from complicated, charming Ko Han-su, to one who is mean, vindictive, and abusive. Maybe he got better as the show progressed? Also, with the wonderful young actors out there, someone could have played Ko Han-su as a young man, instead of 6'2" Li Min-ho in a wig. :)
