Photo – Extraordinary You

Stunningly binge watchable series. Unfortunately let down by last episode, may have done better with a few more episodes to finish in or end on ep 11. Still deserves an entry into best ever.

‘My Dearest’, almost remake of Gone with the wind with a bit of Tess of the D’Urbervilles. With extra plot lines and great performances by the leads, and some of the most memorable scenes in kdramas you could watch.
