Drama gave me the kind of love angst I craved and features the best ML groveling scene...

ML (male lead) is both extremely handsome and one of the most passionate/devoted men I've ever seen. Before truly accepting his feelings for the FL (female lead), he did something cruel, but ended up paying for it tenfold. It was both extremely satisfying and heartbreaking watching his torment over the FL -she really gave it to him good! This was the angst I wanted and it built up to one of the most climactic/touching scenes I've ever witnessed in episode 33. I was thoroughly convinced that the ML couldn't live without his FL.

The FL was also awesome (strong and more on the mature side) and really made him suffer a lot as she didn't think they were meant to be. She never pined for him and instead, tried to move on.

Keep in mind that it starts out rather slow and doesn't become a downward roller coaster ride until episode 16 where the ML "digs his own grave." From then on, you will witness his downfall as he comes to realize how much the FL means to him and what he has lost. He then trails after the FL like a bloodhound, determined to win her back, but our FL will not budge. Forgiveness takes a long time and our ML is in for a world of pain for many episodes -can't say he didn't deserve it, lol. Happy drama watching and hope you become as emotionally involved as I was.


Here's a clip that gives you a taste of the leads' intense relationship:
