This is my first Korean drama, after watching many Chinese dramas. This show was simply beautiful, top to bottom: concept, story, writing, acting, cinematography, music. It's a wild, emotional ride. Partly a historical drama, but mostly modern. It makes you think differently about death and the different stages of life. Maybe it's because of this being my first Kdrama and it's more common there, but I actually loved the mixture of different religions. The secondary couple were just as great as the primary couple.

This was so, so well written. Bring tissues.
