My review is simple - I hope it helps you decide whether to watch this drama or not:

What I liked about this series:

-The music - it beautifully matched the individual scenes
-The pastoral scenes where the main couple met on occasion to escape from reality
-The art - I wish I could find some of those beautiful art pieces
-The final resolution for each one of the transgressors
-The chemistry between one of the women leads and the artist
-The chemistry between the two little caged parrots and their significance to the drama
-The still shots of the making of the series at the end of episode 16.

What I didn't like about this series:

-Which century is the series living in? The Scarlett Letter comes to mind. Massive punishment for the transgressors makes sense if this were the 15th century or earlier
-Melodramatic acting (over exaggerated) on the part of some of the actors
-The constant repeatings of previous scenes to the point where I didn't know if were watching the present or not
-The final episode which was clearly rushed and fill-in. Writer could have spent more time on the main couple in their final scene. A brief smile between the 2 leads is not enough
_The annoying repeating apologies "I'm so sorry" and the constant apologetic kneelings on the part of the transgressors

Would I have watched this If I knew how bad certain aspects of this drama were? No.

Why did I watch it?
I liked the male lead after watching him in Eve. A very pleasing actor. I hope he has more films to watch.

And finally, thank you for reading this!
