Let me start by saying that I am fairly new to Asian Drama, but when I saw the series description on Netflix, I decided to view it. I loved it! I would have given it a complete 10 star rating, had it not been for the poorly written ending. I have noticed that many other reviewers feel the same way -- for many of the same reasons.

I won't go into detail, since I don't want to include any spoilers in my review. So, I will just say that the intensity of the characters, especially the male lead character, Jin Eun Ho (Joo Jin Mo) was lacking in that final episode. And it was simply an unsatisfactory ending, given the story line and all that had taken place beforehand. The lead characters , as well as the son, deserved a better ending. And so did the audience.

Nevertheless, it is an excellent drama, with a great cast and great music! And I would still highly recommend it to anyone seeking romantic drama -- with bits of comedy thrown in. I have not heard any news about a Season 2. Does anyone know if one is planned? It certainly has the potential for another season --- so that we can see how the relationships go and grow. I'm rooting for another season.

And, I am hoping to see more of Joo Jin Mo's movies. And more Asian Drama! I would welcome recommendations.
SPOILER ALERT!
Revised: I just re-watched the series. And as a result changed my rating from 10 to 8.5. It was a great story until around Ep. 14-16. I don't like how the writers turned Eun Dong's husband into the victim. I recently read an article that applauded KDramas for dealing with real life issues, like abortion, single parenting and in the case of this series, adultery and divorce. However, this series failed to grapple with the issue of domestic violence, kidnapping and anger and rage management.. I can appreciate forgiveness, but it is a process. And forgiveness does not negate punishment or dealing with the issues at hand. Choi's issues are not dealt with. In fact, the writers went overboard in making him this perfect father, as if that would lessen what he did to even be a father or husband. But the main characters are the ones to suffer, and amazingly endure another separation -- this time the separation includes the son. It simply makes no sense to me. I hope there is a season 2 and the writers get a chance to write in such a way that it brings integrity to the story.
