To be honest, when I first saw this drama I thought it was silly.  It had silly scenes and a lot of things weren’t historically accurate *spoiler* for example strobe lights in a male club.  A lot of silly things that completely turned it off.  But I’m glad I saw it passed the first episode, because after that I couldn’t stop watching!  The story was amazing, I was into the emotions and when the characters were sad, I was sad.  It was a great plot line.  After the first episode, a lot of the general silliness goes away.  I mean, it’s still there, but toned down and you get used to it.  So I recommend sticking with it, because you’ll fall in love with it like I did.

The only problem I had, aside from the silliness, was the female lead.  She was so dumb!  She’s the stereotypical heroine, stupid and innocent, yet kind and everyone seems to just fall in love with her.  I did too, I just wish they made her smarter.  But she gets better towards the end, but I did have a problem with her character..
