I just rewatched this drama again since it was first released and ended ( 2006). It still provoked the same emotions i had when i first watched. If anything i think it gotten better the second time around. Things i missed on the first viewing, i really pay attention on my second viewing. This truely was a tragic but also have love and hope too. The pace might be a turn off for others, but it goes so well with the storytelling. HB and SyR gave one of their best performances and their chemistry was off the chart. The supporting casts were excellent too. I think the only thing i still nitpick is the ending. I understand the meaning why they did it, but it could have gone either way. Its too bad that Korean dramas back then was following that crazy trend. Oh well there are many other happy and fun memories from the drama that still helps overcome that. Happy viewing!
