Story: We all know that Chinese historical drama has many episodes. The story process is moving at a very slow pace, but trust me it will become very interesting later. Even though I was hooked in the first episode of watching. This drama will make you ride an emotional rollercoaster with no end. You will experience all kind of emotions while watching this show. The greatness of this drama is knowing how to develop the characters in the drama. Because they all experienced conflicts in their life, towards the mid-to-end, the character shows off their maturity after the realization which I really like.
Acting/Cast: There are literally no words to describe it. The acting and casts are WAY more than Awesome. They really did a good job of expressing their character's emotions. Yang Zi, the main character literally became the character in the story by portraying her innocent, cute personality, the little girl in the Flower Realm that doesn't know what love is, later on, she shows the audience how her personality and heart mature in her acting. Yang Zi also displays her splendid chemistry with Deng Lun, the main guy making everyone feel the real romance between the two characters. The pain, sorrow, depression that they portray really touch the audience heart and you could really feel them. After watching all 63 episodes, There's nothing that I dislike about their acting. I also want to give props to other casts as well. Each cast has their own color and kind of character to portray and they all make me wanna cry my eyes out.
Music: The opening song of the drama really got me hooked. The lyrics, melody really explains the drama a lot. When there are sad scenes with the music theme playing in the background. That adds more feels and make me cry like a river. Other songs are good as well.
Rewatching Value: Well, I already am rewatching the drama. It's so addicting and sad to know that it is officially ending. This drama is so good that how many time I rewatch it, I won't get bored. The drama overall is so good. It literally ties everything together and answers all of the unanswered questions that the audience had. This drama is really No.1 C-Dramas of all time. Once you get into Ashes of Love, there won't be any way out so be prepared and grab your snack in hands ready!

The characters are very relatable to some aspects of real life. The way they deal with the situations is very realistic. Their emotions will leave you to waver. The four main characters all have fears and struggles that they have to deal with but because of those problems, they are able to meet and have connections with each other. They rely on each other to conquer and overcome their fears. Because someone is staying beside you, support you, and help you face those problems. you were able to move on and live a better life beside them. It is exactly what the drama is about but in a deeper way. The way Ha Won look at Seo Woo every time just makes my heart fluttered. I KNOW EXACTLY HOW SHE FEELS!
MUSIC: The music is the kind of genre that I like a lot. I have to say, I keep looping all of the OSTs because it's considered an addiction to my thirst for this drama because it ended so early. The slow calming songs are usually my type and most of the OSTs in this dramas are like that which fits my style so much. The music also fits really well with the drama because it expresses the emotions within the lyrics. When the music played at a specific part of the episode, it just makes you become more emotional. JUST JJANG!
LACKING: IN EPISODES OF COURSE! TVN just had to cut the drama short. Everything just suddenly feels rushed and unfulfilled. Personally, I wanted more interactions between the two main lead but everything is just jammed together when the last episode was released, but it still expresses the purpose of the drama.
REWATCH: DEFINITELY! I'm about to watch this drama again because I couldn't stand how short it was. TVN really makes me mad because I could have seen more scenes of Ha Won and Seo Woo together but NO, they just HAD to cut it short. I feel really empty when this drama end, so I have to rewatch it again to fulfill my satisfaction with this drama.
