okay so I'm just gonna say that I watched this drama over a span of 10 months (I had to stop because of schoolwork) but once I returned back to it (around episode 14) I immediately grew reattached. The characters start to grow on you as you progress through the drama, and most of them, besides the notable "bad guy" are lovable, or at least understandable. How attached I grew to the characters really affected how I viewed the rest of the show. When something horrible happened, I cried...and I mean really cried in some parts. When something great happened, I was of course happy, but kept at the edge of my seat with what could potentially happen next. The music..oh man the music. It's very beautiful, and the choice of music at certain parts of the story may also intensify your emotions. The story itself is what you'd expect from a melodrama; a lot of coincidences, a lot of crazy things happen, and a lot of tragedy and heartbreak. I admit there are some slower parts to the drama, but what else would you expect from a 30+ episode drama? I think what makes up for the slow parts is the chemistry of the cast (particularly the main roles) and the plot twists. Some parts are predictable once you get further into it, thanks to a certain character's history...but the opposition really adds those plot twists. I kept watching episode after episode some nights because I just had to know what would happen next. Overall I think this drama is well done. I admit some things that happened in the drama were highly unrealistic but again, that's a "makjang" drama for you :'D . I loved it, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good melodrama that they could laugh and cry with.
