An extremely angsty romance with the tiniest speck of happiness...

I heard many people say this was like a historical Korean version of Romeo and Juliet, and that's true, but even though they both live at the end it feels a lot more depressing than Romeo and Juliet. So, if you're going to watch this I would definitely prepare yourself because it is actually sadder than dramas with a tragic ending if that makes sense. That being said, I liked the moodiness of the drama, but I think it could've been toned down a little bit because it just got annoying after a while.

I really enjoyed the beginning of the drama and the end but in the middle it really dragged as I was just watching the same push-and-pull scenes on repeat. It could have done with having four or five episodes cut.

I really liked the many characters in this drama, Moon Chae Won and Hong Soo Hyun were fabulous actresses! I do feel like Park Shi Hoo had the same dark expression through most of the drama though...

The OST for this drama is actually really, really good but they use the Destino at least ten times in every episode. It's a good soundtrack but oh my goodness is it overused! Literally, it's in every scene, it drove me crazy by the end.

Overall it's not a perfect drama but it's definitely worth a watch when you're in the mood for something dark, gloomy and depressing!
