This is one of my favorite dramas. I like melodrama but it's hard to mix in and balance it in a believable and consistent way. This drama does it really well. It also addresses the importance of integrity in journalism, which is an important topic. I also love that, for once, a male shows lots of emotion and accepts help and support just as much as females do, if not more. In fact, Ha Myung is the first character to shed tears in this drama and it's refreshing.

I know many people can't get past one particular premise in the main relationship, but I feel as an almost-classic kdrama, I can accept this mechanic and enjoy the ride. And the fact that the show is so well done with great acting and directing makes it easy to accept.

The drama does a great job building out the background and history of the characters and how they became who they are. I feel Lee Jong Suk and Park Shin Hye had great chemistry together. They are both gifted actors and you really believe the developing relationship between them.

I appreciate that the characters are pretty intelligent. They make mistakes that anyone could in their circumstance, and they don't do dumb things. It features an excellent supporting cast with great chemistry between them all. I especially liked Min Sung Wook as a reporter who learns to be understanding. The pace is really well done, always exciting but still offering depth in terms of character development and relationship exploration.

This is a great drama to rewatch. You fall in love with the great relationships all over again.

And one last thought: If you liked While You Were Sleeping, I would suggest that this drama has the same style and feeling but was executed in a much more consistent and masterful way. The acting, relationship development, and pacing are much better here.
