I started this show with very little expectations as it had very few star ratings and no reviews at all, but when I read the description, it piqued my curiosity and I decided to watch an episode or two...and before I knew it, I'd watched 4 and a half hours of this show in one day.
I think the acting all around is fantastic! I loved the main characters, Sam-sik and Kim San. There was a solid amount of action that was well balanced with what was going on politically in South Korean politics in the late 1950's/early 60's (and even if the characters are fake, it's still an interesting glimpse into that time in history.
I may have found this mini series more interesting than some people might, due to the fact that my Grandfather served in the Korean war. He was an incredible man but a man of very few words when it came to talking about his time there.
It was a little bit challenging trying to read the subtitles in English because I wasn't reading quite fast enough before it switched to the next subtitles, but after an episode or 2, I was able to keep up.
I haven't finished the entire show yet (since half of it hasn't been released at this time) but I'm now on episode 8, and I feel like I enjoy the show more with every episode I watch. Well done to everyone involved and I'd recommend watching this.

As a 37 year old man who can hardly stand most romantic comedies, I found this one to be very watchable, with a great story as well as solid acting from both main characters. I'd seen Weaving in Nine Perfect Strangers which I really enjoyed, but I'd never seen Derbez in anything but they both worked very well together and while this film might not make a load of money or get a lot of attention, it's one I'll gladly watch again. I know I'm a terrible reviewer, but let me just say to all the guys out there who are looking for a good hearted romantic comedy they can watch with their wife or girlfriend, this is a solid one that won't make you cringe, or immediately watch Saving Private Ryan afterward.
This could have been just fine, it might have even been pretty good if it weren't for the absolute CRINGE narration of Remy Ma and the horrible lines she feels she has to insert into the stories. This should would be so much more enjoyable if they just told the story and didn't have the totally obnoxious dialogue from Remy Ma.
