It's a precious little gem that went almost unnoticed in Korea and everywhere else. The premise itself is nothing new, but how the story unfolded and how the drama executed really makes difference. It's such a pity that Full Sun up against Empress Ki and God's Gift at the time because they're already lose from day 1. Still, it was much better show than most of drama's offerings in 2014 up until now. The acting from everyone, from the two leads, Yoon Kye Sang and Han Ji Hye, down to supporting casts are great.
Many viewers would want to avoid it as it is a formulaic melodramas. But believe me, even it has ingredients of every melodrama, it's never overwhelmingly sad or too dramatic. The feel and the story may look like That Winter The Wind Blows meets Nice Guy. But I like Full Sun better. It just has the feels that won't you get in those two previous show. Yoon Kye Sang as Jung Se Ro is a delight to watch and even it's my first time watching him and Han Ji Hye, both sold me with their romance and love story. Sure, it can get better if the villain is not boring and so predictable like in every drama ever. But it can be ignored if you watch this show for something else, for instance tragic bromance or romantic love story.
Overall, Full Sun is a very good drama. The acting, story, music and rewatch value for me are very good. It's criminally underrated maybe because people are not aware of this precious gem.
