I actually was "Pleasantly Surprised " how good this is. I thought, I'll start it and can always drop it. Boy, was I wrong about this series. It is so good. MaMa is a little overboard some times, but bearable. It has Love, Romance, Deceit, Lust,Humor & so much more. There were some parts that really made me cry. It was just an All-A-Round good Series.
