oh, where do I even begin ...
:)
1) The story, as someone very aptly pointed out, is great. It's not comprised of tracks, put one after another, but is based on one integral story.
2) It's like a beautiful book, with different chapters, each one captivating and having a focus that will keep you glued and bring out the sympathetic part of you for the victim, while at the same time make you proud to see how a woman can stand strong in the face of abnormal circumstances. And yet that book has one main focus - one main protagonist and one main antagonist - and what characters they are.
The characters are immensely complex, EXACTLY like the ones in real life. Yet, they live the simplistic lives of the laymen as if there's nothing but an ordinary life and family bliss those closed doors. Exactly like folks in real life.
3) And above all else, it touches issues that happen to US, regular people. Many can relate with at least one character here, if not more.
4) Characters - Such depth and perception in each one.
5) Entertainment - it truly is. Although it's very real, it's also very entertaining. From the romance, to the drama, to the humor, to the love, to the family relationships - all there.
6) Actors - they're just par excellence. They give this show their best, and it shows. From the ones with the least amount of lines to the ones with the most.
7) Excellent attention to details - I've noticed this many times, but they do provide great attention to detail (yes, there are a few faux pas, but I see it less here than anywhere else).
In one phrase - it's a work of art - truly.
