Man, that was some decent melodrama.
This is how you handle the powerful emotions of guilt, anger, resentment, hate, revenge and ultimately love and forgiveness- yes, I can see that people complain about there being many crying scenes but honestly, what the main duo (and their loved ones) went through messes someone up for years so what did you expect?
I gotta say, all the actors did a very good job but Seung Ho as Harry stole the show- he did a brilliant job. And Harry was a charismatic "villain" that you don't stumble upon often in those kind of dramas.
There's a lot of suffering in this drama, so if you're into light hearted stuff only, yeah, no. (but then again, I guess the plot and the title gives that away anyway, so you wouldn't wait for me to announce that!) I myself don't usually watch melodramas, but this one was really well written and the direction and cinematography was very good too; obviously it wasn't perfect, not by a long shot (then again what is perfect?) but I definitely don't regret watching it at all.
I would give it an 8, but it gets an extra 0,5 because of the spell! (if you watch it you will know what I'm talking about!)
