I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this, but binge watched it after seeing the first episode. I enjoyed the actors and the characters they portrayed. I also enjoyed the historical aspects of the show and how badly the Koreans were treated by the Japanese. I've seen some complaints about how slowly the romance in this series is. But considering the way they started out after their first meeting, the slowness of the romance wasn't a surprise. I would have been more surprised, and unhappy, if they had jumped in with a "love at first sight scenario." I am looking forward to seeing the last 3 episodes.
