What can I say - this drama is a masterpiece. The storyline, the filming locations, the cinematography the music. It really is the complete package. The first couple of episodes they build the foundation to the story, it seems a bit 'fluffy' - spoilt female lead living a privileged life, waiting for the man of her dreams to step up. However things change rapidly in the next few episodes and the story takes a much more serious turn. War is not pretty and bad things happen during war and conflict. From this point the drama goes from being good to epic. It draws you in. Although a drama and not a film, it really for me is along the lines of big blockbuster epic sagas like The Last Samurai and Braveheart. Because it has many episodes you can get really invested in the characters and the story. The male and female leads have amazing chemistry. The male lead is always outstanding in any work he does, but he nails the character here. The music throughout is so beautiful and some of the songs are hauntingly beautiful. I highly recommend this drama to anyone. Go into it with an open mind and by ep 3 you will be hooked. X.

I really enjoyed this drama. It had the right amount of romance, comedy and a back story. Sometimes in Korean dramas the comedy can be too much or too silly. They got it just right and I had a few laugh out loud moments. The female lead was a really likeable character and the development of how she changed once in modern times was quick but it all flowed. I loved the fashion she wore as it related to the character. The male lead had CEO green flag vibes and he played the character really well. The second lead couple were cute too. This drama definitely gave me Legend of the blue sea vibes so if you enjoyed that drama you will enjoy this. I binge watched all the episodes as didnt start to watch initially on the release date however once caught up I anxioulsy waited for the weekly releases.

So good for a piece of work to be set in the 1980's with a theme often covered but not always done well. Starting off I was unsure where this was headed as the photo for the series and the blurb wasnt very clear about the complete subject. But I am hooked and anxiously waiting for episode 10 next week. The lead actors are all great. The chemistry is good and it's refreshing to have a strong willed female love interest. The female baddie is truly awful. The storyline flows and keeps you wanting to keep watching and I have no idea about the ending - praying for a happy one. Huge congratulations to all the team involved.

Its right up there with the best in my opinion.
