9/10
A Melodrama with top-notch performance and heart-wrenching story

This is one of the few Korean series that I watched without skipping any episodes because I was so drawn into it. The performance of the male and female lead roles are so real and convincing and they have such lovely chemistry together. The situations that they are in make it very hard for me to guess how their love can have any hope for happy-ending. Their background and life story makes me understand why they fell in love. This is two lonely people fulfilling each other's life in a situation that the pressure keeps increasing. However, their love slowly grow in such a beautiful way. Zo In-sung is so convincing in his role and when he cries it felt so real and I can clearly understand the character's feelings. Song Hye-Kyo gives an excellent performance of a blind and suicidal rich woman who had always doubted sincerity of people around her and longing for someone whom she can really trust. Just watch how their love blossoms is already worth it. But this film also has beautiful soundtrack, gorgeous setting and very good cinematography. Yes, sometimes it moves a bit too slow, but I didn't feel bored. I recommend it for romance series lovers. It's a melodrama but for me, it's hard to predict the ending. I don't feel that it's one of those follow-the-formula soapy series. I did cry a few tears when the two finally open up their heart for one another after separating for a period of time. To conclude, I love this film, I don't find any of the main characters annoying at all. They are people that I can empathize with.

By the way, I like the nanny character (played by Bae Jong-Ok). It's interesting that they don't put her into a full villain role like most melodrama plot. We can feel her sincere love for Oh Young, although she really did committed some crimes.
