Drama tries to sell inappropriate as romantic

I genuinely went into this drama with an open mind. I thought we were getting a simple, harmless setup: a kid with an innocent one-sided crush, they grow apart, and years later when he’s actually an adult, they reconnect and the romance naturally develops. Cute, believable, and morally intact. But apparently the writers said, “Why follow logic when chaos exists?”

Because what we actually got was… wild. This grown woman doesn’t just gently reject a child’s crush and set boundaries like a functioning adult. No, she somehow catches feelings back. For a kid. And then to make it even worse, she kisses him. I don’t care how persistent the boy was; persistence from a minor is not an excuse for an adult to lose all sense of judgment. And let’s not forget she had a whole fiancé during this mess. A real, fully grown man. The disrespect was astronomical.

Honestly, the only sane character in the entire situation was the boy’s mother. Her reaction wasn’t overprotective; it was common sense. If anything, she was too calm. I completely support her. Accepting the female lead should have never even been an option, and the fact that the drama tries to frame it as some tragic love story is mind-boggling.

In short, this wasn’t romantic. It was uncomfortable. And no amount of cute music or soft lighting is going to change that.
