The Jihan character makes watching this kdrama so uncomfortable for me. And, it's extra annoying because I loved Sangmin in his previous kdramas.

I means he's acting really well in wedding impossible too, but the character is just too unlikable

I mean he forces himself in her spaces, without him asking. She can't be leading someone on, when the person already follows her around obsessively.

People see jihan's attitude towards ahjung as romantic and caring, but I just generally see him as someone who can't mind his business. I just can't feel the romance I'm expected to see from their dynamic.

Is he going to be in 'please teach me'?

It's not a bl novel. The main character has multiple partners across the time period of his life the book covers. It's very realistic. Not lovey dovey.

It reminds me of the vibe late 90s/early 2000s Asian queer movies had. I felt a very similar aura of the queer movie 'So long, See you tomorrow'.

It's emotional and beautiful, and romance isn't the focus.

It's an actual service in Korea. People that don't have friends/family hire strangers to act like they are their loved ones.

I had this issue with love for love's sake

No in Korean age, he would be considered 18, and in the newly adapted international age he would be 16/17.

Korean high schooler seniors graduate highschool at 18(international age).

Either in the new international or Korean age, Cha seowon would still be considered a minor.

He was 16/17, in international age, and 18/19 in korean age, because he was in a class below the other main character.

Since you're bringing up the Korean age system, The age of no more being a minor in Korea is 20 years old in Korean age, which has now recently been legally changed to the generally used international age, legally. Which means it is 18 now.


The age someone will be considered an adult is 18 years old. Cha seowon is 16/17 years old. He is still classified as a minor under the law.

Wait I just remembered seowoon called him seonbae and was a class below him, which makes him a year younger than the age I thought he was, so the age gap is 11 years now

Thanks for the correction, but as you said, it doesn't change anything. 10 year gap or 12 year gap, it's still a minor and a grown ass adult

We just have to agree to disagree, just like you said. Fiction is fiction I get that, but it does mean I'll ever defend the problematic nature of the fictitious depictions, if they have a morality issue

The relationship being a plot device doesn't make it any less problematic.

I'm not going to discuss whether a minor is prepubescent or not. Any piece of media that needs that kind of further explanation of the blurred lines of the different categories of minors, is problematic.

An adult 29 year old dated a 17 year old.

I didn't side eye the querness erasure because I thought it was going to do what love for love sake did with the borderline pedophilic plot line of making the adult person go back to high school with their adult consciousness and be romantic with an actual highschool minded student.

But, since the romance would have been between the actual 18 year old and his friend, the erasure seems quite ignorant, especially since they had no issue casting a literal criminal in this kdrama

It's giving "Hi I'm KJCTdramafan and you're watching Disney channel"

When he broke up with her, they both still loved each other so them getting back together just seems to me like they're picking up back where they stopped and trying to be together when Moeun most likely (since there is no actual clarification) might still feel they are incompatible. Like how could she date a deaf guy and get offended that he didn't hear her stomach grumble or that he didn't react to the music being turned off. Girlie needs to work on herself, or better still find someone who suits her dreams than date someone who clearly doesn't meet up, and get sad she can't mould him into her ideal partner.

I thought it would go in the direction that lost did or maybe eve better, but it was a bit disappointing tbh

If they broke up because she kept finding inadequacies in how he is in their relationship, what's the point of bringing them together again after she hurt him so much that he broke up with her? There is no clarification if she still feels the same and will keep pointing out 'faults' in a deaf man's existence. 'Faults' that will never change.

Episode 16 was unnecessary. Jinwoo deserves someone who won't make him feel like a burden to them. Towards the ending, I preferred he ended up with Seo kyung instead, (not like she's an ideal choice either). At least she showed growth and realized that he in fact was enough. She just never cared to notice. Moeun's character on the other hand was just shown 1 year later, after making Jinwoo feel insecure in his abilities as a partner, without any scene of her showing she accepts Jinwoo as he is with all his expected shortcomings that may not align with her dream relationship. The writers just put Jinwoo with her, when he might still experience the exact same thing again.

I wish Jinwoo found someone less problematic than Seokyung and Moeun. Someone who would appreciate him for him.

His acting gagged me in 'Death's Game'. One of my favourite actors for a reason

He reminds me of an older version of Kim jiwoong
