Korean drama -Well, we've seen it all before. But how many versions of Hamlet are there. It's not the fact, there is nothing original here, but how it's done. This is done very well. I found it totally compelling from beginning to end. Yes, there are things you could baulk at, the usual plot contrivances. But there are some nice touches too. I guess what's important, is that you care for the characters, and want to know what what's going to happen to them. Perhaps the idea of a pivotal character seeming to reappear was a bit too convenient, but I'll overlook it. As for the cast, the acting was average at best. That is except for Choi Jae-Won who was wonderful as the childlike Woo-Hyeon. At the other end of the scale, the most irrating character was Poong-Ho played by Lee Doll-Hyung. Well at least I found him annoying when he was crying. One thing puzzled me. There is a moment in one of the episodes where leading man tries to find out what happened to her sister, and who is responsible. But later it's as if that never happened.
