Absolutely got hooked into this series. Key points for me - the writing: the story based on true events is captivating. As a photographer, I found cinematography beautiful and had me pause the action, just to admire the lighting and framing. The actors I thought were really talented and portrayed their characters strongly. The costumes were spectacular as was the scenery. The resolution of the series was unexpected but really moving. I went back and watched just those scenes 3 times over. The only gripe i have (and it is minor), I wish that the character of Ah Ro played by Go Ara had been written in a stronger way. There were times when I found her pouting and crying a little too much. This story of a Youth Elite set in a period drama was captivating, engaging on many levels, least of which was my total emotional connection to it. I congratulate the Cast and Crew for making such a wonderful work of art.
