Episode Count:

24 The LONG PILL:

Every element of this drama proved why it was one of the highest-rated series in the history of Korean cable television. The male lead, after dealing with the traumatic experiences from his past, found his way back to the place that he tried to escape from, to fulfill a mission, and unexpectedly met a person that will change his life. The story alone will get you hooked after it brilliantly combined history, action, and romance with a little comedic theme in every episode. The beautiful sets and realistic costumes are also very pleasing to the eyes.

While every scene seemed to be very important for the entire story, there are instances that feels very dragging. It includes the numerous exchange of looks between the male and female leads and their seemingly long farewell scenes.

When laughter, music, fun, and food, just aren’t enough to cover the scars of years of trauma, and vulnerability makes you feel naked and alone, when the ones you keep pushing away are the only ones that seem to stay, how do learn to accept and receive that all is okay… and this is love?
