This series owned me. Flat out had me at "hello" and kept building on me with each episode.. So well acted by all. Bigtime laughs peppers the tears and the dire moments. Magic is delivered.
I refused to complain about tid-bits in a production that thrilled my nervous system with such a strong love story in a sea of power mad agendas. I'm sure others can give this less than ALL STARS. But, hey, the actors were all stars, so why not?
The biggest problem is NO SEQUEL.
This series knows how to love faces. So many close-ups that should have had me looking for skin bumps and ear hair instead had me involved in ten second long emotions being obviously processed -- like I said, good acting.
Start the series. See if you can quit after a few episodes.
I'm 75 years old, retired white married guy -- not a push over, but I kept getting serious binge dynamics. Saw all 21 episodes in three days. Be warned. Clear your calendar.

Acting wise superb! Love the portrayal of Jennylyn Mercado and Gil Cuerva. Though it's a Filipino adaptation from the Korean series, I find this adaptation very beautiful. It goes beyond my ecpectation. There's no boredom watching this movie and you can feel the emotion upon watching at the characters. I've been watching Korean tv series and there's no point of having a comparison between the two. Kudos to the whole cast and the directior. My family and I are watching this series in My Family Cinema here in Canada. We love it very much. It's a series from 2017 and yet we're watching it in 2023. Jennylyn and Gil were making a good tandem on this series. Hope to watch more series from this pair. Congratulations!

Please just watch the Korean version of this. I cannot believe this was is something that was on TV. It looks like it was shot with an iPhone 6 and edited with see windows movie maker.
It's always going to be hard to live up to the original of a successful show but you at least have to ADD to it when you do remake it. The actor seemed very new, while the actress completely overdid it and they were not able to strike the same balance as Kim Soo-hyun and Ji-hyun.
To be fair, I did not watch the entire series, mainly because I couldn't get past the poor production, but I did look at clips at key moments later on in the series and I contiued to be disappointed.
