My

Opinion

I am in love to Lee Seo Jin and his killer dimples lol! By far this is the best K-Drama I've watch this year. I know I am late on this fantastic drama but I am very satisfy with the outcome of it. To the point where I actually got a bit sad once I realize I was was approaching the ending. Over all - all the characters in this drama showed their true emotion and passion weather if they were played as the good guy or villain. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves the Korean Traditional weather is is clothing, food, poetry, or just anything about Korea. I know that the 77 episode might be a little intimidating but I promise you that once you start an episode it leaves you wanting more. If I can recall I actually finish this drama within 3week! I was really pushing myself to watch as much as I can weather it was before work, after work, or on weekend. I still remember those crazy long nights I find myself staying up till 2am-3am in the morning just clicking episode after another not realizing that within a few hour I'll have to be up for a new day. Lol. If you're unsure and don't want to waste your time watching half way and realizing that this drama isn't for you. I do highly recommend just randomly picking a few episode/part(beginning or middle) to watch and see if this drama is your type or taste. I hope everyone does give it a try! I will be purchasing a copy of this drama to call it my own - that's how much I LOVE it!

-Enjoy
