Putting all my dislike for various characters(including Soo Cheol) aside... About that one situation -
He's DB's parent. Isn't that the way most parents are with rebellious children? They hurt for them and wish they would walk on the right path, but they're always waiting with open arms for their children to come back. DB coming back means he's changed his mind. What SC said to him got to him. If SC had gotten angry and told him to f off, he wouldn't be DB's father. Lots of children have said and done worse things to their own biological parents.

I don't see any positives with Sa Ra. She's obsessed with the status she'll get if she marries YG. Everyone can see that she's exasperated with him and treats him condescendingly. I don't see her spending as much time with Sejong as she does calling and meeting Cha Gun to send him away. She spends all her time plotting, acting like she's a rich noblewoman, and sees the son she's so obsessed with now and then.

And look at the way she acted towards Cha Gun— like she's already the rich wife of FT Group's chairman. Both Sejong and YG are merely conquests to her. Why am I still not completely on Anna's side? Because, for a moment, she shadowed Sa Ra - staring into the mirror and saying "I'm going to take DD and Soo Cheol to the US and we're going to be a family again." With no mention of whether it was what they wanted or not. SHE wants it that way. Like someone else pointed out, Yeon Shil might be an annoying leech, but Anna doesn't know that. For all Anna knows, YS could be a nice, sweet wife who loves SC and he loves her back. We're the ones who know that YS is a leech, and that's why we want SC to be with Anna. What if YS was a good person? Would we all still be supporting Anna's actions?

I AGREE.

Honestly, YG is the only one carrying the show right now. His character is unpredictable, charming, and though the writers seem to think he's a teenager sometimes, he's a really good guy. I love the way he tries to take matters into his own hands instead of just going with the flow. I wish he'd just throw Sa Ra away but I guess that's too much to ask for. Sure, he's indecisive and acts like an idiot, but he's the only variable person in the entire drama. Everybody else is frustratingly (or not frustratingly) consistent in their characters, whether bad, good, or grey.

He thinks he's cheating. He still has crystal clear memory of what his father did. Heck, that mistress is running all over the house reminding him of what his father did. I think he's trying not to be his father, and that's why he seems to be going along with the wedding even though he doesn't like SR. Though I don't like the way he confessed to DD before cutting things off with SR, I also think he just wants some support rn. No one supports any of the choices he makes anyway. He's woken up after a 20-year gap and has no memories to rely on. Confessing to her just trusting that she likes him back from the look in her eyes was pretty brave of him, IMO. He seems desperate to have at least one person who'll back him up. DD's the one with all the memories but he's the one who refuses to give up on her.

And I REALLY want to shake DD now... it's like she's pretending to be a tragic melodrama heroine and it is maddening. The man literally made the first move, got over all his amnesia-related insecurities and ASKED you straight in the face and you still want to play Juliet? UGH. And the writers really just had to show flashbacks of when YG was his elegant princely self and now I miss him so much I'm going to cry

I feel extremely proud to say that my drama count is 81 but I've watched only three dramas out of this entire article. LOL.

I HATE School 2015 with a FIRE. You just have to mention it and I'll go ranting for weeks. I hated it so so much, especially because I was watching the drama for SIG and NJH after Goblin and Weightlifting Fairy. I HATED the FL. I HATED the ML. You can call me thick-skinned because I just never have SLS— but this one drove me to the limit. I just couldn't and wouldn't accept the stupid choices the twins make. Absolutely terrible drama. Another extremely, terribly stupid drama is New Horizon. Check that one out to see a frustrating mess of a triangle that isn't even supposed to be a triangle because the leads had mutual feelings but our FL is a childish airhead (disguised as a "strong, independent woman" - she makes the phrase sound like an insult to all actually-strong women) with a GIGANTIC case of Entitled FL Syndrome. This is coming from someone who doesn't mind childish or brainless FLs as long as the plot is strong, but even the plot was a grand mess.

I hated the suck-up in Dr. Romantic, but I love the actor, so I wasn't able to really hate him.

"already anticipating the visuals" - writers, you better not spoil the plot

OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE KIM JAE KYUNG! This is such a wonderful gift! Can't wait!!

For a weekday sageuk drama, the rating is pretty good. It'll have to cross 15% to be considered a hit but it's 10% rating puts it in the above average zone.

really? great! Thanks for the heads-up!^^

I agree. The only scenes that interest me are YG's, YG-DD, the kids and Mi Rim - Junho

WOW I srsly can't believe this is the first drama a three screenwriters have written! Mad respect.

LOL it would be so hilarious to watch her fall in love with a poor old con artist 😂😂 it would actually be pretty interesting... didn't they say her father was a gangster or something? she would fall for the con artist and realize that status isn't everything and marry him and become a gangster queen(she totally has it in her to become one) and then she could just steal the whole show taking care of all the witches and bullies until the final boss fight between her and YG. She'll come to the fight in a huge white truck and mow down Yeon Sil and Anna Kim an Sa Ra and her mom😂 where has my mind run off to? Writers, please contact me for a spin-off, please!

ummm... you left out the abandonment and lies factors lol

come on, it's always a small, small world in Dramaland ;)

isn't ashes of love part of a trilogy with no relation to the other installments? Skate Into Love was the second part(that's why it had a Deng Lun cameo) and Love When the Stars Fall is the third part

this was filmed in 2020-21, but it might look older because it's a lower-budget weekend drama

I actually think she might have a turning point sometime because of the way her precious son is turning into a useless irresponsible idiot. She looked so disappointed even though he was throwing money at her.

I've decided to skip the entire Anna Kim-Soo Cheol-Yeong Sil arc... they take too much of my brain space and atp I don't feel like taking anybody's side because of the amount of angst they're putting me through. Can Wang Dae Ran please have a romance with some prickly old poor guy? That would be extremely funny to watch.

I love the older version because his elegance made him look so much more handsome and when the writer coupled that with his reserved, awkward-but-warm personality, he was such a great character to fall in love with. I like him as a 22-year old but he's not someone I'd fall for

aren't Mi Rim and Junho the only ones they've paired up between the families?
