Bleak Romance, Not for Everyone

This is a very bleak and upsetting drama that I would not recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a romance story. It is the type of drama that portrays continuous suffering throughout 58 episodes with barely a 1/4 of an episode to complete the "happy ending". Personally, I would rather not watch a drama that devotes so little time to an incomplete "happy ending". By that point in the story, I can no longer feel joy at the couple's relationship, and it is not enough to make up for the horrendous suffering and torture of the previous 57.75 episodes.

I will say that it is a unique story in that I was always surprised and could not quite guess what was going to happen next. It's just that if you are not looking to watch bleak romance stories, then don't watch this one. If you are in the mood for pain and sadness, then you will enjoy this drama very much.

This kind of drama is excessive in using missed opportunities, misunderstandings and victorious villains to drive the plot. For me, these story-telling devices are used to the point where I cannot enjoy any tiny moments of connection between any of the couples when they do occur and I don't feel satisfaction when the villains are briefly punished for 50+ episodes of evil actions.
