My wife and I really enjoyed the messianic storyline from an Asia perspective. Young, pure-hearted man and woman have to fight off the evil aunts, uncles, and brothers to save the nation - ultimately to be crowned as man and wife (Adam and Eve restored). Lovely costumes, respectful dating, lots of knowledge about the Asian value system, etc. As such it has parallels with Downton Abbey - where evil and goodness were found in both rich and poor, and men and women.

The filmmaking itself is more on the cute side than dramatic, but this leads to some very touching scenes where a touch of the hand brings out strong emotions of connection -. Far more romantic than the Western 'jump in the bed' dramas.

Takes some time, but, in the end, one is left with a desire to treat people in your life with more respect. Uplifting.

I really enjoyed this drama, and also the story line was good..

So many plots , twists and turns made it very interesting.. I just feel there could me more romantic moments between the lead couple.. to keep the audience connected with their love.

Love this movie SO much one fav drama in 2020 and i Love this couple SO much ,my family really enjoy tO watch.

Really wonderful lead characters. Good chemistry. Beautiful sets and costumes. But I'm not sure what happened toward the end. There were strange/ awkward cuts and edits during important scenes toward the end of the series. (Maybe they ran out of money? I'm not sure.)

The production crew actually acknowledges, in an apology to the audience at the end of the series, that the show had certain shortcomings. I appreciated this acknowledgment.

All that being said, it is worth watching. It's a beautiful love story. I would have easily given this a 9 if the show kept the same level of production from start to finish. Instead I ended up giving it a generous 8 - though 7.5 would be closer to the mark.
