I'm late to the party as this drama is over 10 years old. Excellent story. The drama happens in the middle and towards the end. It is definitely worth the roller coaster of emotions. The female lead was annoying in that her character was portrayed as caring and gentle but some of her actions proved otherwise. Each character came into their own realizations and awakenings except the female lead no matter what she faced. I loved the male lead's character revolution. He is amazing in this... I never cried so much. The child star also! This is definitely one to watch. I wish it would have stayed in the original 21 episodes...34 episodes is dragging on a little too long. Be prepared for the editing inserts during the show.
