9/10
A little slow to start, but worth it
13 October 2011
The first seven or so episodes are full of heart-wrenching drama. Once you get passed that, it finally gets good. Then, towards the end, you get more heart-wrenching drama. Overall, I really enjoyed it. It had a perfect ending that will likely satisfy a wide audience. However, it is a very realistic piece, so I will just advise viewers to keep that in mind when starting to imagine the happiest ending realistically possible as the final episode approaches (as we all tend to do). I thought the special needs characters and their reception in larger society were portrayed well. I have never seen that in Korean drama, so that made it pretty unique out of others produced to-date. This one will probably make most people cry on more than one occasion; a real tearjerker. A note on kdramas: they tend to be really slow-paced when compared to American cinematography, so if you're not the patient type who can sit through long, drawn out scenes, you may not enjoy the genre. But, if you are, kdramas display an unparalleled kind of writing and editing style that makes the genre a gem to those of us who crave something 'new'. Happy viewing!
