Cheers to Park Shin Hye for calling attention to this. It does read like she is trying to draw an opening for younger actors to play these roles - share the opportunities as such.
But these two playing high schoolers is nothing! By far the most ridiculous example I've seen in recent years, is in "Big Bet". Lee Kyu Hyung (at age 40) playing the 'teen thug' version of Choi Min Shik's character - Moo Sik. I think š¤ maybe it was a bit satire, a bit tongue-in-cheek; that Moo Sik has always looked like an old man š¤·āāļø
It made me forever see all shows that do this, in the same way - It's an actual joke.
How is she an ahjumma for wearing a school uniform šš¤¦š¾āāļø
It's a bit more nuanced than that. If you're an 20yo female on this set. PSH would definitely be your Ahjumma. It's a term of respect for a woman who is older than you. 'Noona' if she's only a couple of years older and you have a close relationship. Marriage, motherhood, specific age, are not as relevant as your status in relationship to each other. E.g. a woman in her 80s can call another noona...
I love this show. It's my go to at the moment but: The plot holes (read; common sense holes) in the 'abandoned whilst pregnant best friend', story is killing me. Why didn't you move her into your spare room, when your boss moved out? Your sister is a highly qualified, licensed lawyer, who does community consultations; why didn't you ask her to represent your friend? Or at least seek her advice about it? Why are you not pursuing a fraud case for false documents (seriously how much evidence is required by the legal system in China?!) and child support for his children? Gaaaargh I want to just skip these sections but the one episode a day schedule on Viki is even more excruciating. So I will watch what I can get *sigh*
If this whole thing is a set up for her boss to step in and save her, I will literally scream!
PLEASE if you are watching this on a different platform and know what happens DO NOT SPOIL! Make use of that little spoiler tick-box, I implore you! I will view it for myself!
Aside from time travel, it has basically nothing in common with Go Back Couple. Haven't watched Familiar Wife.
More a revenge drama. The 2nd chance theme is certainly part of this - getting a chance to redo things so your life is better. But they're really not alike.
??? fl is so so so beautiful, she doesnt look anywhere near 40 imo
And, it's not meant to be realistic. She's meant to be extraordinary. That's made clear pretty often within the narrative. (Sorry if that comes off as condescending but I just strongly disagree with you)
The actors/thriller are all good, but I am not buying the reason, at least in Asian history, there is no such…
If you're referring to the incestuous relationship, I'm sorry to say, you're mistaken. It does exist, but far more likely is that it's usually not consensual the way this seems to be.
