Same opinions as the 1st paragraph. This one is surely flawed with many aspects but it's not actually a bad story.…
Yes I understand this drama isn't a romance per se, but I do like how the main characters have chemistry, so I hope the writer doesn't just let that sit unused—or be diminished—in the end.
Also, you make an interesting point about the pacing. I've noticed when watching the show that it seemed slow, as in some key scenes from the Three Act story structure (which I assumed the story is going by) weren't presented "on time" like some of them should have been in the 16 episode span. I think the writers had drawn out the past school events a couple of extra episodes longer than what was necessary. They weren't all bad scenes but the Inciting Event of the Three Act structure was pushed back further, therefore drawing out the rest of the drama.
Do you know if this drama was originally supposed to be a romance? I don't know how true it is but I read a little online that the drama faced criticism for its potential teacher-student relationship before the drama started airing.
Although there's a lot of complaining about this drama, I'm enjoying this one even if it is flawed. I'm too engaged with the characters to quit now.
I LOVE how well Lee Do Hyun presents the minor and adult versions of Seung Yoo. How he shows the growth and how time matures him in how he talks and carries himself. It really does seem like four years went by because he adapts his body language and voice.
Also how Seung Yoo was once comforted and encouraged by the teacher and now he is able to return that to her. The high-quality character development has me hooked, I don't know about yall.
(Okay my fingers just typed that out.)
Excuse me as I go cry somewhere.

Still loved him in "Kono Koi Atatamemasu ka" (and every other project he's in too).
결혼 축하합니다!
I’ve seen him play a Priest first.
He was so cool in The Fiery Priest. (Still not over that show.)
Loved him as the money-hungry antagonist in Rurouni Kenshin.
