Male leads do not disappoint, But Age gap too wide.last 5 episodes are tedious & serious
I watched this in 2024. I really wanted to see this because both Seo In Guk & Lee Soo Hyuk were in it . (I Have to say: they do not seem to have aged !) Both male leads do not disappoint, [nor do they stray far from how they are generally typecast]. my problem with this drama is that I had to keep lowering the bar for my ethics & comfort zone. The10 year age gap between the leads is really unacceptable . Jo Han Chul is incredibly irritating with too much screen time. Thankfully, Kim Won Hae is reigned in a good bit so at least he is not as irritating as Jo Han Chul. One episode is all hockey. There's too much family melodrama. What really sunk my happiness boat was the last 5 episodes. Things got tedious & serious. A death, rehashing things [that had been resolved previously.] Female lead keeping secrets after a big scene where she declares total honesty. Tired Tropes of supposed noble sacrifice that were totally just insecurity & fear of rejection. There is a happy ending but it was rushed-which was meant to be comedic, but failed so they added on a 3 year time skip into the future that should have come 4 episodes sooner. I wanted to love this & I'd like to think that with a good editing down to 11 episodes that this could be great, but over all, in the end, the female lead being so much older and the male lead being 18 during the bulk of the plot- yeah, just doesn't work
