I thought the drama was awesome except for the first two episode and half of the last episode. Regardless of what everyone has said about this drama, to us it was great. There are quite a few tears shed by my wife on this drama. We even watch the drama over again and was hooked again. Geum Jan Di's character to us was acted well, she made us feel for her, given her situation. She displayed a strong willed character that went against all odds, of course, with help from the F4.
