The cast is amazing, the story so dramatic and full of emotions. I learnt something about Korean history, was inspired to search further... So much love and real human values are woven into this story....and again, each role is a masterpiece....the ending is in fact sad, but left me with thoughts that finding the meaning in your life gives you strength for every turmoil. All characters decided to live their stories without hesitation, in spite of all pain and suffering they had to face. Powerfull message indeed....
