Great performances by the actors
I'm really impressed with Jang Hyuk's performance. I applaud the intensity that he brings to the character Lee Dae-gil. One really feels his pain and anguish. I was shipping him and Kim Hye-won more so than the other male lead. It's a very emotional and entertaining drama. I highly recommend it.

Would have prefer a happier ending
Spoiler Alert:
Because the two male leads are equally appealing, it resulted in half of the viewers rooting for Do San and the other viewers shipping Han Ji-Pyung. As a consequence, many of the viewers were disappointed by the ending because their favorite male lead did not end up with Dal Mi, which resulted in many negative reviews. I cannot fault the writers though because their intent was to create suspense and keep the viewers guessing all the way to the end. While watching every episode, one was never 100% sure who Dal Mi will choose. Will Dal Mi choose Do San, or will Dal Mi choose Han Ji-Pyung? It kept me interested. Other typical dramas that are more predictable would often have the main male lead way more handsome than 2nd male lead, and 2nd male lead would have more obvious character faults where the viewers knew from the start who will end up with the female lead. I actually like guessing till the end because it makes this drama unique.
The only improvement I'd suggest is in the last episode; make Dal Mi's sister In Jae like Han Ji-Pyung, and Han Ji-Pyung all the sudden realizes that he has more in common with In Jae because she is classy, sophisticated, successful, attractive, and unsentimental like him. Seo In Jae can be quite a catch if she smiles more and turns up the charm. The idea is to suggest that a potential romance is blooming, then in the last scene, instead of seeing Han Ji-Pyung stick out like a sore thumb, show two happy couples walking, suggesting a happy ending for all. This alternative ending would have satisfied most viewers since no one is left feeling bad for Han Ji-Pyung, then the ratings for this drama will go through the roof. :)
