First and most importantly, I really liked the show. The actors were wonderful. The main two characters were well defined and I felt like I understood them. However... a lot of extra less defined plot lines were there. If this was 12 episodes and the other characters and backstories went a bit deeper, it would have been perfect. Even the food could have been incorporated a little more. Even the typical Korean drama rich vs poor wasn't explored so it was unnecessary to the story. One person saying he's poor in every episode doesn't drive that formula.

The cast made this work. It needed more time to add depth to the plotlines and backstories. All in all it was top notch and emotionally satisfying.
