Some people have said that the actor who plays him is under one of the companies which is airing this drama (forgot…
In the process of giving him more screentime they just mad his character far more annoying, which may actually screw things up for his career irl too. In china it is common that folks there start to hate and troll the actor based on their roles so it may cause bad publicity for him. Had his character being kept a little mature and less childish and creepy, it would have been way better.
In the novel, Wen Yifan was extremely loved and pampered by her parents but after her father died, her mother…
Thank god, I have seen plenty of dramas both kor and chi where the horrible mothers of the leads are easily forgiven in the end just to give a happy ending. It always pisses me off whenever that happens.
I think with actors playing roles too older or younger than their age isn't an issue but more about whether they manage to look like them is. There are actors and actresses with baby faces who had played high school roles even in their late 20s, hell Jang Nara managed to pull it off so well in "Go Back Couple" while being in her late 30s also the recent drama "Study Group" where Min Hyun too looked like a high schooler despite being 29.
Hyun Wook has always done well with his roles and even in this one he was really good. He is 23 and has the face of a young boy so no shit it is tough to think of his character as a 30 year old man. But If you were to ignore the 16 year time skip or the fact that he is supposed to be 30, just take him as a young director who meets his first crush again, then things do fall into place.
Looks like the constant push and pull between the leads really overshadowed everything. The drama has been slow paced , draggy at times with many characters other than the leads having barely any character development. So no wonder it is getting poor reviews.
I wish they had done things a little different than the novel especially with the leads relationship as it becomes frustrating for many viewers also pacing of this drama should have been better.
Her drama roles have been extremely poor so far with a few exceptions. No doubt she is pretty and can act decent but damn either she sucks at choosing scripts or she is not given any good ones.
