I don't know why the ratings are so low for this series. It's a beautiful, well made, great cast, good paced drama that revolves around an enduring love of a couple who knew they had feelings for each other when they were young and had to go through much time, secrets, heartaches and joy to be together. I'm nearing the end of the series and don't know how it will end and am keeping my fingers crossed that the 2 main leads will finally make a way to be together as a couple. Not giving any spoilers since I started this series without any. It's more enjoyable that way. Watch it and you won't regret.
