This series gives us a very satisfying story of love conquering against all the odds. With two such wonderful actors in the lead roles and a plot full of evil villains and multiple challenges to be overcome there is every reason to get on side with our heroes and cheer them on.
The entertainment is deepened by the characters of the two leading characters. Neither is straight-forward. She is a controlling, power-hungry and money-grabbing woman evincing little empathy and few emotions. He is an out of love husband desperate to escape both her and her horrible family.
Then crisis hits and everything is turned upside down. Witnessing their journey is a joy. As the best Korean dramas do, this effortlessly combines romance, thriller and comedy into pure entertainment.
My only reservation is that the medical condition that drives much of the plot seems to appear when the plot needs it and then disappear until needed again. This series would otherwise merited a 10 instead of a 9. If the joy lingers I might return and upgrade the score.
