STICK WITH IT!!! YES- this drama drags a bit. YES it can be frustrating. YES it is looonnnggg. But by golly was this a good one. Ive watched a fair few sob story dramas but this one took the biscuit, I was SO wrapped up in the characters lives and struggles (I shed a few tears, never normally cry EVER). The acting is really something, you come to love some characters and despise others. The only reason I wouldnt rewatch would be because of time (loooonngg drama). If looking for something to kill time with that has a good plot and strong acting look no further.
