Slow, depressing, sad and beautiful

This drama is so very, very ,very slow paced, some parts could be watched in double speed without one noticing it was in double speed. I will admit some parts where plain boring (especially in the beginning) but there was something beautiful about this drama that kept me on it despite the slight boredom at times.

The cinematography, the styling the umbrellas are just so very beautiful, the veeery slow-mo snowfall that covers the ground, the slow pacing while balancing an old umbrella with beautiful patterns is just so breathtaking gorgeous I could not help but watch. Beautiful fight sceneries and chiffon twirling in the wind.

The drama conveyed longing, holding back and sorrow in the most beautiful ways with all they had. I was extremely impressed over the leads ability to hold back yet still convey their emotions without saying a word, frustrating at times but so touching and true in a way. Yet still so very, very depressing, this drama was just sad and hopeless from start to finish...

I loved the way this drama showed the evil characters, true evil from so many angels it was truly impressive. I also loved how a person who was terminally ill had that as just one of many traits sticking to his evil, selfish, self, no self sacrificing here, what is mine is mine and I do not care who I hurt or how long I will have it, it is mine and I shall have it, period! Adorable, obsessive and fun to yell att.

All in all I do not regret for a moment that I watched it but I do warn you it was veeeeeeery slow paced at times and is probably one of the most depressing I dramas I have seen lately, not to be confused with tear jerker (though this does have that affect too) this one had a depressing feel to it as a whole not just a tear provoking scene here and there.
