Adding this to my "To Watch" list. The story sounds so interesting, and the production seems very well done as well.

I like this show, and I feel so bad for the poor Koreans in the show. I read a never set before, during, and after the occupation period and I know how horrible it was. Seeing it on screen makes it more heartbreaking. I swear I cried at the end of each episode.

I can't help but be reminded of the whole Prince Ali scenario from Aladdin when I see how San is lying about who he is to Shinyoung. I know it's not exactly the same situation, but there are similarities,. I think Shinyoung would still like San if she knew he was poor. Whether or not they could be together is a different story.
