(Viki 16 1:09 eps)

[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

A politician & his social-climbing wife sold their daughter into marriage for campaign funds. After her divorce, she immerses herself in work. On a trip to Cuba, during a spate of bad luck, she meets a young Korean man with an old soul & a fondness for poetry & photography. As fate would have it, this chance meeting wouldn't be their only encounter.

The *best* noona drama. Gorgeous lighting, gorgeous actors with fabulous chemistry. Touching & appropriate OST. Beautiful writing with heart-throbbing & -wrenching delivery. They are STARS for a reason. The side character stories are sweet & supportive, a couple get some great development. The villain is truly despicable.

The story is a down-to-earth romance of 2 people from different classes. The pacing felt like a lazy river ride, mostly very smooth & languid, with some surprises.
