It was a little imbalanced with its focus between past and present which made it harder to be attached to either. Also, there was an unnecessary melo love triangle. The harsh circumstances were more than enough to create conflict and tension without adding bloat to the story. Nonetheless, the cast was decent.
You've reached the end.
