At first I didn't expect much... I thought and felt like this was going to be a very depressing story full of politics or the drama will go down the path of super cheesy comedy/romance drama just to get more views and better ratings. While also being about one of the darkest times. But I was pleasently supraised. I could tell with each episode as the story progressed that it was written with passion and love. The drama unfolds slowly in the start but it really quickens its pace after 2-3 ep. I knew I was watching a drama but I also felt like I was reading book ... Its like a story unfolded withing a story... perfect balance between the past and present. It has it all... The word maybe perfect for this drama is heartwarming. I have great respect for the writers,cast and crew. The music was great, the clothes, sets and everything was truely impressive. I'm sure or at least I hope... that this drama will win an award this year. Unlike many drama this one I would love to rewatch a hundred time and more... It doesn't focus on romance as much as the sole feelings of the characters( all of them) towards eachother. I even cried a couple of times while watching. A big plus is that the characters are smart, they didn't give me headaches. The drama has so many good quotes I wrote them in a small note book and I plan to rewatch it soom maybe with hot chocolate in my hand during a rainy/snowy day... but since its summer I will settle with ice tea in my basement :-'(. I recommend this drama.
