I watched this movie because I'm a big fan of Yoon Kye Sang. The drama was a bit of a disappointment mainly because of the story. Yes it was about those wonderful ideals like love, and family, forgiveness, mending relationships etc. but this drama could have been better written. At the end of it I thought 'ok, so what was all of that for?'...just for one couple to find love?...there are easier ways! The pace was a bit slow and dragged in parts. The romance could have been better developed. At first I thought it was a lack of chemistry but as the drama progressed the chemistry seemed to improve between the lead male and female so I figured it was probably the directing, as there was something missing with this couple. The father and daughter were frustrating for me because they both seemed so stupid, nice, but stupid so I was not liking them much. Strangely enough the secondary characters such as the best friend in the wheel chair and the friend Yong Duk were quite interesting. The acting was decent enough, in particular and as usual Yoon Kye Sang did a really good job acting his role and the role of the father. Go Ah Ra as the leading female character 'Son Young In' was ok, she could have been stronger and protray more emotion. The music was so so; it did not seem to fit the drama at times and seemed rather flat and boring. I must say what saved this movie for me was it started to pick up after episode 11, I was drawn in by the storyline of the missing paintings, and the romance between the leads started to develop more. The byline of Cha Seung Hyo finding his family seemed pointless. Overall, this drama was a disappointment, I kept watching thinking it was going to get better. It did around episode 11 but not that much more, so by the end it was jus 'ok' rather than 'jee that sucked'! The end by the way seemed to be a bit rushed' and missing some elements. I would not rewatch this nor would i recommend it.
