This was a pretty good show - not amongst my all-time favourites to date, but compelling enough and with an overarching plot that had me hooked from the start.
There is a sweet romance element, but it's extremely tame. Regarding the "bad guys" of the plot, some were flawed and human and almost forgivable, while at least one was the type I would have loved to see get some serious karmic attention from the universe.
The story of the heroine and her family I found to be quite heartbreaking, and I railed at the injustice they faced at various points. There were also plenty of little subplots that I found myself invested in.
To summarise, I really enjoyed the show. Even if it didn't set my soul completely on fire as some other K-dramas have managed to do.
