It's beautifully shot, the ML's are attractive, so why did I end up crying at least three times, and feel drained after starting out what looked like a simple fantasy romance.

It is a sweetly coated exploration of how bad things happen to good people just through making the wrong choice that at the time seems perhaps a reasonable one. There are villains, but perhaps the everyday compromises of life add to the evil of that villainy
At the start I thought how am I going to swallow this premise, but it worked, because it wasn't over done or over acted.
I understood why characters behaved the way they did, and the repercussions were believable.
I didn't want to skip anything, my only huge ?, was the restaurant ever going to make any money, and where did the money come from to fund it?
The ending gives some sort of resolution for nearly charector, perhaps too neat.

I can not give the story a 10, I think it needed a little more bite considering the subject, and the plot device of people not talking about the past in the equivalent of a small village is just not believable.
