I'm really loving the storyline!

There's just the right amount of angst, family problems, political struggles, relations to the past and a tad bit of romance. It's awesome! The date they had was a good moment and the jealousy from both (maybe even three?) parties [Secretary Seo, Chief Kang, Joon-ki] is developing perfectly; it helps the storyline move forward and help the two leads realize they've become accustomed to being husband and wife and actually care about each other. Even if there's a huge age gap, the (family) romance is in the air! The actor who plays Woori is so far doing really well too. I can't get enough of this drama! :D

On audiences in South Korea not liking it too much b/c of the age gap:

Do people in South Korea really not like the couple because of their age gap? At first, I was hesitant to watch this series, but it turned out to be hilarious and fantastic! In fact, maybe it's the main couple's age gap that attracted me to keep on watching because we don't get to see this type of couple often on the small screen.

These episodes were intense! There's more of a focus on the plot and less of family development and politics. It's mainly two episodes focusing on the relationships between the four main characters. I feel really sorry for Chief Kang and I'm having serious second lead syndrome. As for the main couple, I feel like Kwon Yul is having to many fluxuations in his feelings, too many mood swings and indecisive about if he loves Da Jung or not. I can't believe this drama could get this intense, so I'm loving it! The scene with the poo wine was extremely hilarious and I hoping the PM will give his gift to Dajung soon! Will Chief Kang officially be a bad guy from now on? (noo!!)

10-11

These episodes were extremely intense! Episode 10 had more development in character and relationships. Cutely, Nara has found her love! It's so adorable that it's Suho too! ? Kwon Yul is hesitating over his true relationship with Da Jung and In Ho's true form/intentions are going to be soon enough. I just feel sorry for his love for Da Jung. The fact I don't like is that Chief Seo is acting extremely non-professional and non-rational. In the preview of episode 11, it shows her leaving the PM for Joon-ki. Is she that stupid to help the bad guy? She must feel heartbroken over the fact the PM likes Da Jung and went over to help Joon-ki, which shouldn't happen because as a professional she shouldn't mix her personal feelings with work.

In ho's character is extremely interesting and his good/bad intentions balance well; we never know if he wants to help or wants to take revenge and I think he's hesitant over that fact too. I wish Da Jung was a bit more aware of the situation with her 'husband' and try to support/help him more even if he's avoiding her and treating her not as ideally.

Things are getting awfully complicated, but I think it's for the good. Seems like more is going to be revealed next episode, so I can't wait for what they're going to reveal.

I'm not sure if this is growing on me, but the episodes are getting a bit more boring than usual. I feel like In Ho has more character development and depth than Kwon Yul even though he has an odd past with his 'dead' wife. So his wife was actually alive all these years? Who would pretend to be dead and leave their entire family? I hope things will be explained soon.

Even if it's getting a bit boring, things are developping and the sudden resignation of Park Joon-ki and Secretary Seo was unexpected. I'm glad Da Jung confessed to the PM without hesitation, it's hard to find female protagonists who are willing to confess first without being confused over random emotions. In ho's whole character is so deep to the extent I wish he was the main character; sometimes romance ruins a drama, but this time the subtle romance (not solely focused on romance) is really effective and makes space for plot/furthur revealing of secrets.
