The Feel-Good Part
The main characters, on their own individual levels, are quite well developed and strong. The best part is that their remarkable and fascinating personalities remain consistent throughout the show. You won’t find the character acting foolish just because they are ‘in-love.’ It is lovely to see the characters have stories of their own and acting independent enough. You will often see them making their own important decisions without the influence of each other.

The Disappointing Factor
For the fan of the novel, the show might not be as outstanding as compared to the rest. Reasons being that the story of the drama is indeed distinct from the original storyline of the novel. Personally speaking, it would have been way more entertaining if the ending was the same as the novel’s. Another disappointment would be the editing at a handful of situations, since at these points the transitions kind of felt odd and jarring. But then again, because this happens rather occasionally, thus it can be neglected easily.
