The first time I heard about this series was like 3 weeks ago and it has gotten my attention through a youtube fanmade video. This was the first Drama from Thailand that I watched, and I can say that I pretty much liked it. *I did finish it in one day, something that shows that it kept me interested in what is going to happen.*
Storyline: The storyline itself is pretty unique and I did like how it was showing the main female lead's feelings and thoughts. There were some flashbacks as well, something that made the whole story much more interesting and believable. I did like the fact that they were giving some attention to other characters story/past as well, it's true, Maewnam was in the middle of attention, but the others did have a story to tell as well. Something I didn't like was that they were trying to fit a longer story in 7 episodes. They could have made it a little bit longer by telling the story much more precisely and by developing the story a little bit more. Some episodes felt like they were rushed, they didn't stay enough at one important situation and they just started to talk about something else.  
Acting: To me, this whole drama was new, not just the story but the actors as well *and the language. I was getting used to Korean and Chinese, but this was on a whole new level*. After all, I did like the acting, the actors did give 100% and everything looked great. There were a few things that I did dislike, few characters but that isn't the actors fault, it is somehow the writers. Anyway, even through that I did dislike some of them, their presence was important for the development of the story.
Ending:  I did think that it was going to have a really sad ending, but in the last 20 minutes everything changed and took a 180 degrees turn. Did I like this? Somehow yes, somehow no. I mean, I did like the fact that I couldn't see what is going to happen, but...I don't know. I feel neutral about the ending.

After all, if you do want to watch a different drama and to get to know a whole new world, than I suggest you to watch this one. It is worth it, and  it really shows how words can affect some people. YES! THIS IS THE THING I LOVE THE MOST ABOUT THIS DRAMA! They show you how some words can make a person's life miserable and how they can destroy someone's confidence.
