Let me just start off saying that I absolutely fell in love with all the characters in here. I thought the actors/actresses really did a great job in bringing them to life and adding more depth to them than I had expected.  I do agree with many others, though that the ending was pretty much a letdown and left me kind of hanging on loose ends that weren’t tied and other ends that were tied way too quickly and randomly.  But I’ll rant about the ending and its utter wtf?-factor in a little bit.

I think the reason that I admire this show so much was because it addressed issues that I hadn’t expected a romantic drama to delve so deeply into and it brought about a sense of idealism, optimism, and hope for a future of equality between classes and genders that I find makes it so easy to connect to all audiences – male or female, young or old.
