I didn't know that Cinderella's Sister had such a good rating. TPM should be on 20th place. A tree with deep roots will definitely take its place, althoght I think The princess' man is the best drama of this year.

I didn't like Deep Rooted Trees at all. I dropped it after 4 episodes. The story was so weird. Not watchable at all.

Thank you kamz! :) I know what you mean, that's why I started The Empress, I'm watching only currently airing dramas and it's so hard to wait and to wait, especially when you see that an episode was released but there are no Eng subs...
