I really enjoyed this drama. I love the main leads. I love the maturity of their relationship. I love how some of the court cases tie into the development of their relationship and not just there to lengthen the show.

I love how the main female lead is not just a damsel in distress. She's strong, stubborn and ambitious and that falling in love didn't make her weak or give up on her goals. Also, instead of the male lead trying to bail her out or rescue her all the time, he takes a step back to allow her the freedom to grow and make her own decisions.

One of my favourite lines on the show goes something like, "Even if you take 99 steps towards her, you have to let her take that one step towards you."

I love the views/message shown in this drama about love, marriage and commitment by showing the relationships and marriages between the main leads' family circle.

I'm giving it a 9 because the secondary characters are so over the top, to the point that it's annoying. Like the ex-bf and his fiancee, and most especially the brother and his wife. Oh they're obnoxious! I do know that their purpose is to show the stark contrast between them and the main female and male lead's quiet, mature and trusting relationship. It shows them resolving conflict by talking things out and trying to resolve it, instead of yelling and screaming at each other.

It's a very good drama, though it's a bit long. I think there are some episodes that are just filler ones.

It's worth a watch!
