First of all, the acting was phenomenal. Every actor/actress portrayed their roles beautifully. This is coming from a none blink, but I think Jisoo is a really good actress, the emotion she emitted was realistic, she was made for this role. Jung Hae In also did an amazing job with role and I think this is one of my favorite dramas that I've seen him in. The acting is definitely part of the reason why this drama is so good.

This next part contains spoilers so if you haven't watched the show yet I recommend skipping this paragraph. The only reason I am not giving this show a 10 is because of the plot holes like we didn't get the full story for a lot of characters especially Mrs. Pi and her story. I know a lot of people were also disappointed that Sohoo dies in the end and it's why a lot of people have given it a lower rating. As sad as it was I don't think it made the overall drama bad. In fact, I think the writers hinted at the impossibility of a happy ending from the very beginning. It's definitely a sadder drama so if you want to cry this drama will do that for you. This drama did a good job of showing the harsh reality of the North and the South's relationship through Sohoo and Youngro. It's one of those dramas that's so sad that it's good and so good that it's sad. The love story is so addictive and beautiful and you grow to love it more more as the story progresses. Each episode kept you guessing in a good way as well.

I highly recommend this to anyone especially those who love a lot of action, emotion, and romance. It will put you through all the emotions and might make you cry a little too much. The OST is also one of the most beautiful ones I've ever heard. I hope everyone will get past the ending of the drama and really see it for the overall beauty and message it portrayed.
