Harsh revenge crumbled in the face of love
It is always a challenge to write a review for an older drama. It has been 11 years since the drama aired and since i've seen it first time.Looking back on who i was at the time and what i felt watching it when it was in its time.
In current drama world you may say the plot and scenes are cliche and soft, but at the time without a shaddow of a daubt those were the scenes and moments that made me swoon, that made me cry and made me follow the story with my whole heart.
The leads both have very strong presence but thats not all, the side chcracters are just as strongly presented and developped. All having their own plot and back story. No major cut offs or loop holes what would make you question why, when and where. Each episode carries you through the story leaving you wanting more at each end. You find your favourites and root for them just as you do for the lead couple.
ML and FL have a very strong chemistry and undeniable connection thats very dearing to watch develop.
Maybe overacted at times, but over all you certainly arent left dissapointed.
It is always a sign of a good drama when it can make you feel all the emotions : anger, sadness, laughter and everything in between.
I highly recommend you see it, just remember times were different in 2011 ;)

A solid detective drama from a difrent perspective
Fab cast, gr8 acting, story development amazing too.Not many surprises as it lets you know what happened and who done it all the way through. It focuses on diff aspects of the story which is refreshing.
Wrapped up really well with a nice ending. All the characters got their desired ending at the very end of it all after many ups and downs. It was refreshing to see a story that allows you to believe that no matter what you have to keep pushing forward if you are certain of the truth. It will come out in the end if only just one person cares enough.
The tiny side romance was sweet, shame it wasnt sealed with a kiss but still, very sweetly closed off.
The ending does feel a little rushed but i dont mind it as much. It feels complete and feels closed which is nice.

unforgetable drama
eventhough the drama is a bit old it is still not dated. I watched it when it came out and seen it kany times over since. The story in itself is beautifull, shows how people from different places in life can get drawn to one another and change each other for the better.So many amazing characters, so many paths in life being changed by another presense.
It hearwarming but also thrilling. Love for another person can change how you see yourself and life.
I highly recommend this drama to anyone that is unsure about seeing it.
The song by Alan Kuo "ling" has been on my playlist since my first watch and i listen to it every day.

revenge is not always sweet
Really liked the drama.The story of revenge might not have been anything particularly new, but the story as a whole was very well written. Acting was really good too. Marcus as always shines bright as a character that seems bad on the first look but actually is a soft and warm person inside. He does that so well !
Their love story is bitter sweet but really well done all way through.
The drama shows us a nice message that getting blinded by revenge is never a good thing. And when life gives you a reason to take yourself out, you should. Everything happens for a reason after all.
