The Monday-Tuesday audience is a tough crowd, dramas start with a handicap at the start of the week.

What's a squeaker? Mr Choi started calling her noona after a while, but it conflicted with the original set-up. I think they really thought they could get away with passing her off as 10 years younger, as you say, the writing made no effort to address it at the start, quite the opposite... Mr Choi saying "you look too young to be a mom" was probably an in-joke, but quite baffling.

Everyone has standards - only idiots will deny it, to look cool in front of others. My standards for a character in her late 30s is to look like that's her age, or thereabouts.

The hair, makeup and wardrobe departments didn't do anything to help out either - if they're so precious about undermining the character, they should have cast an actress of the appropriate age to begin with.

It totally depends - 'film' is not a genre. In film and drama, the issue for me is casting an actor appropriate to the age of the character they're playing. I don't care what the character does or what style the film/drama adopts, as long as I can believe it. Why can't I say this without people getting touchy that I'm calling her old?

Do you think she quit the handball team when she was 35?

Crass. She'll just get stereotyped as a tits and ass actress. Wouldn't that piss you off more than the people that aren't going to watch it?

Again, you're twisting the facts from the narrative. She was around 15 years older than Hae-yi when Hae-yi was abandoned at the restaurant. You're in denial. I just don't know why, facts are facts.

There it is: "lmaoo".
It explains how you missed it.

By the way, the ages of the actresses are not the ages of the characters 🤣
You get how it works, right, I'm saying JDY was not playing a character appropriate to her age.

The narrative stated she was younger than the other moms. Were you paying attention or too busy jerking off?

Oh dear, the straw man 🤦. I was referring to Crash Course - obviously. I'm saying out loud what you're afraid to say: she was too old for the part, it was jarring.

So, you have to live in Korea for 7 years to understand the first thing about the Korean drama world and naturally you'll learn the truth about celebrities' dating in that time... and wait for it... the people who don't live in Korea will be shocked when they find out? Listen to how you sound. Go on then, shock us with your superior knowledge, oh great oracle... no, don't - you'll wreak the wrath of the MDL commenters whose side you're pretending to be on right now, they hate salacious gossip even more than they love political correctness.

A title has to be literal? A comment has to be explicit? The person was taking a swipe at a recent rom-com, and I agree with the sentiment.

I agree. I'll just add an exception though: "y'all". It's a tag word that qualifies any containing comment as categorically stupid.

She's had a good innings but she looks like a 50 year old woman.

I'm happy with any scenario as long as she plays a character appropriate to her age, regardless of who she fucks in the film. She can find a boy of 20, or an older geezer like Wookie, or a grandpa, if that's where the character leads, so be it.

She can't pretend to be a woman in her late 30s any more. It breaks the suspension of disbelief, a faux pas in movie and drama making.

It's better to respect other people's opinions and debate using evidence - you're free to insult if you want, it's called freedom of speech, but you can't really justify it as an argument - it's at the level of the school playground, emotional and not regarded as intelligent debate.

But seriously, Lee Seung-gi took a bashing recently. So did Yoo Ah-in. I think it just depends on the context. To state that a certain opinion isn't allowed is a little bit autocratic - you should debate using facts, evidence, opinions, but not maxims and dogma, don't you think? It's not helpful to women to stamp and say no... because it's a woman, surely?

Lol, the commenters you're criticising are all female 😉

The article itself references potential 'chemistry' between JCW and JDY. You don't own all rights to opinions on JCW by the way.

There's another one on air in Japan right now too: Marriage Is Difficult For A Ninja
