Seasons 1 and 2: wonderful. Seasons 3 and 4: flawed but watchable, with a few great episodes here and there. Season 5: mature and experimental in its finale. The show was meant to have only two seasons. Fans loved it so much that they successfully mounted a campaign to extend it. Every season after that could have been the last, and it shows: the plot becomes wildly inconsistent, and there are mid-season mini-finales with episode 13 in both season 3 and 4, just in case the network decided to end support at that point. So, practically the show has five finales: S2E22, S3E13, S3E19, S4E13, S4E24. What about the season 5 finale? Bittersweet and experimental. It’s Chuck and Sarah’s greatest challenge and greatest triumph.

I didn't even know what k-drama was. My wife told me I should watch it. I watched it. I liked it. I'm a sucker for stories with strong but kind and honorable men who go above and beyond for the woman they love, and this one delivers. I loved the OST as well, particularly the piano piece that plays right before their last goodbye. Great chemistry between the leads. I heard they actually got together for real. The ending makes sense if you look at the story as a symbolic representation of the countries' desire for reunification. I could say more but you should just watch it.
