Reasons why this will probably go into my rare 10/10 (I'm very picky):

1. I hate weak FLs and this one is by far one of the bravest if not strongest of them. Yes she had a few poor decisions but this will in the latter episodes be superceded by better actions.

2. We can clearly see how highly respected FL is by the ML and she him. They equate one another. Too often do we see male power trips and dominance in these dramas so LB really takes the cake as a feminist drama.

3. They have the best character development of all of the characters. Don't wanna go into detail as this may come as a spoiler but everyone of them is critical to the story and you can see them growing as a person by their actions.

4. Side characters are as important as the MLs. I liked that they were not just an addition to make the story longer, or to make it to 49 episodes. I see some dramas adding side characters just to make the drama longer. But in here they were critical to the story.

5. If you liked skinship, you probably won't like this. They didn't have a visible kissing scene here and only a silhouette was shown. However, you probably won't feel that it's less romanticized 'cause that's what made it special. All the forehead kisses and longing eyes were felt by the audience, at least for me. I was literally kicking my wall because I felt that they really loved each other on screen.

It's sad to see comments saying they didn't finish this masterpiece because of personal reasons but I respect that. I just hope more people see past the FX and understand the lessons and character development this series has shown.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
