I was never a stickler for romances, so this series was lying in my laptop for two full years. Since I had nothing else to do I decided to watch it. What a beautiful love story! And how did I miss it for so long! We should give it to the Koreans when it comes to instilling morals and values through their TV series. I heard that many young Koreans enrolled in the army after this series was aired. All the four protagonists and every supporting characters have done their job to perfection.
There is a sub plot with a North Korean soldier in it. The dignified way in which they portray his character is so adorable (I am also reminded of Kim Ki Duk’s The Net, if you haven’t watched it yet plz do). I wish our filmmakers have the same courtesy while making films about our neighboring country.
Though the story is predictable and nothing out of the ordinary still the series manages to keep us involved. The actors were so good that I have started watching Arthdal Chronicles featuring the same actors Song Joong Ki and Kim Ji Won.

If you are in a mood for a breezy love story don’t miss this one.
