Lee Philip injured his eyes during the drama and was forced to have surgery. So they killed his character abruptly after episode 19.

Overall, I really liked this drama. To be honest, I found Yoo Eun Soo rather annoying and Choi Young very dull at the beginning. However, the love story between the two very different people makes the drama all the better. It’s fascinating to watch the two gradually fall in love and even change each other’s character by the end. Many times, I felt like crying while watching this drama. It’s a very bittersweet love that they have. Aside from that, the more I watched Choi Young, the more in love I was with this character. He is stubborn and doesn’t know how to show his true feelings but his aggressiveness shows just how much he cares about Eun Soo. He often yells at her because he cares, he often chase after her because he cares, just anything he does is because he cares. I learned to sympathize his character and was very satisfied that by the end, he knew how to be happy because of Eun Soo.
On the other hand, I don’t understand people who come on here to bash, especially stating that they’ve only watched up to part 5. How can you give a truthful opinion about this drama if you haven’t even given it a chance. How can you possibly judge whether or not this drama is great when you have barely begun.

To me, faith is the best season drama av ever watched.i just love it.

Is a nice drama. I love the drama and the chemistry between LMH and KHS, despite their age gap. LMH’s acting skill really improved a lot! I am not saying this because I am a fan of him, as I am not. Is so touching and cute when CY is protecting ES.
But I am confused. I didn’t understand with the notes left behind for ES. She left the notes for herself but she can’t remember. The last few episodes are too rush. They seem to rush to end the drama. All of the sudden, the powerful people become weak and people died easily without putting a good fight. Anyway, I am still confused with the drama.
