Spoilers** I started watching this one without realizing it hadn't finished. I rarely watch dramas this long but was willing to give it a try because the first few episodes were compelling. I have a fairly hard and fast rule that I do not watch series as they come out because they could end sad or just not be very good and, to me, life is too precious to waste it on something that is going to drag me down. I am glad I waited because those that finished this said do not waste your time. The tired and overdone tropes like the amnesia trope are utilized ad nauseum. I guess after about episode 20, when the first episode of amnesia occurs, it just drags and becomes very frustrating. So, I decided not to finish this series. There are a very few that really liked it but there was a large enough majority that didn't that I decided this series was too long to take the risk.
