I heard so much good reviews about this drama series, but after watching the first 1-4 episodes, I think I will postpone watching until all the episodes are finished. Even though I love Lee Seung Gi badass action character in this drama, I just don't really like Suzy Bae's character at all. Maybe it's me, but I feel like she is so bitchy all the time. And then she got drunk during a company dinner? That is so unprofessional. Why did the writers do that to her character? Sigh.... Hopefully her character will develop into a better person.

This drama is actually really hilarious. At first it was weird, but I actually like the ML and FL due to their constant bickering and funny situations they ended up in. I actually had to rewatch it 2x before I find myself liking the drama. I like the part where the FL trashed the offering trays of the ML's dead father because his extended family dissed and insulted her "low class" parents and status. Also the ML+FL relationship was kind of convoluted whereby the FL is going out with the handsome waiter, who worked at her ex-boyfriend's cafe, while pretending to date the ML (and the ML is okay with her dating the other guy!), who is the best friend of her ex-boyfriend and her ex-boyfriend is trying to get her back, while ex-BF is dating the ML's best friend.... LOL.....

This drama started off really nice, and the sweet chemistry between Seung-Joo (FL) and Dak Ju (ML) was warming up nicely. But by episode 14, when the FL's useless brother and ungrateful mother were endlessly using FL's undying family duty and generosity too much, up to the point that the ML has to leave his beloved mountain and revealed his true identity just to save the FL, I just decided to give up watching and just skip to the ending. This TV drama has lost its plot and it was getting more painful to watch the FL and ML hurting each other for no reasons and also being used by others for their own agenda. Plus there is so much screaming, shouting, screeching by the FL. She kept saying she is strong and independent but she ended up looking like a bitch or female cat in heat. The writers could have written the story better.

These award shows remind me of the USA's Academy Award (Oscar) show. Somehow, the movies or dramas that won the awards are not commercial success or popular. :D

I don't like political drama like this so I will give this drama a pass.

I don't agree that Ashes of Love is so great. I watched the first few episodes and I dropped it afterwards. I prefer The Story of Ming Lan.
