Starting off I would say the storyline for this drama is quite intriguing. I have never watched anything that is based on the liberation of Korea from Japanese rule. Its always way far back or way into the future. I liked the change. The drama is set in two timelines the 1930s and 2017, where 3 people re-encounter to solve the mystery of their past lives that have haunted them in the present. The characters were quite interesting to watch and I loved the way the story evolved.

The storyline was set in pace but there were areas that I could have agreed with less. A lot of holes were in this drama. Some characters were without detail and understanding. I believe they would have spent their time trying to see where they want each character to go and how they would like to translate that to their audience.
They were also many areas lacking concerning the main roles, some scenes were not given as much attention and in some episodes, they would present some kind of epiphany within the cast and never lead up to it leaving the whole concept dead in a careless manner.

I do however applaud their chemistry not only the love interests but as friends, it quite heartwarming. This was my first time seeing Yoo Ah In on-screen on television and maybe I set my expectations too high as I know he's quite acclaimed with burning. Overall, it was quite interesting to a point, the performances were also thrilling and its good content to get in to, I just feel with such an acclaimed cast and storyline, the screenplay would have been a tad better. Watch it!
