Sarah O @RT88896113 Apr 21 I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this but, I'm fairly new to the K-Drama world... and am just finding myself currently drowning in ALL the feels from this particular show! I'm almost through episode 10 right now and I can confidently say that I have had to force myself to stop binge watching episodes at night and go to sleep. This show has held my full attention throughout every scene and I have no worries of that changing. I'm usually emersed in the leading character's story, but this one has been different for me and i'm loving it. Each actor's work is amazing in their portrayal of their character and they "hold their own" in thier part of the storyline. Truly worth the 1st watch, and coming from someone who has only rewatched 1 other drama at the age of 34, this will be one that I will be rewatching, maybe even more than once!
