The story is fresh, neat, original and well acted. I love the love story and the challenges that go along with the complexities (I imagine) of not being able to communicated in their language effectively at first and then with what life throws at you when you are "in it together". Overall some said it felt like two parts, up until ep 8 and then "after", I found the contrary. It seemed to be a solid story and driving plot, that was complex and compelling. Our ML is brilliant, the FL can be annoying at times trying to be cute, but overall i enjoyed the acting. As to the best part of any series....The ending is open, but somehow not. Wouldn't one call that fate? Highly recommended. For a series from the 90s its better than most current tv shows. If you enjoy the world of kdrama/dorama then this is a classic in my book.
