Where's Woong?
I remember finishing season 2 when it came out and being really disappointed that season 3 wasn't out immediately....4 years later....on the result. It wasn't worth it. This could have finished at season 2 with her getting together with Woong, and it would have been perfect. Ever heard of the season 3 curse? They are always a let-down because too much time has elapsed. In that time Kdramaland is now catering for western values at the expense of what made them so special and different in the first place. I, for one have no interest in a now well off Yumi that's rich and successful. It only works when we can identify with the main character and I can't. There are so many things wrong with this season. For one, the casting of Sin Sun Rok, seriously you are casting someone just because they are tall. He has no character, no attraction, no talent, no sex appeal. Kim Go Eun is around 10 years older than him and it shows. She acts circles around him. She had no chemistry with Lee Min-ho in The King: Eternal Monarch either. I think Korea has excellent older female actresses, but they always place them with younger male actors that can't act, they're just eye candy. The webtoon has him at 3 years younger than her. Are you telling me there are no other K male actors around that age? Just himbos to bring in a younger female audience. There is zero chemistry between them. It was completely unbelievable. At first, I was disappointed on learning there were only 8 episodes compared to the previous 14, but my lord it really dragged towards the end, I couldn't wait for it to end.
And what's up with the looks? They styled them to make the age difference even wider! Her hairstyle was blaah! Her knits were yuck, seriously if you are rich & successful can't you afford to dress better? She did when she was poorer! His informal style was huge T-shirt and shorts WoW! Well done on making him look like a 15-year-old teenage boy. I couldn't help thinking she looked more like his mother! Ah, the fantasy of men these days is to date a mother you can f**k, that way all you have to be is obedient and have no responsibility. The most manly thing he said was Kajo "Let's go" when it's completely unnecessary, assemble a console...hmmm so useful, write notes and reverse driving...of course he's in a rush to get married. Have someone to love you for nothing, all you have to do is worship your sugar mama, and you're on easy street. What is the message here? Become rich & successful, and you can buy any man you want, get anything you want. Isn't this role reversal? Isn't this what men use to do to get women? This is NOT equality. And sorry but how can they eat so many cakes non-stop and still be so thin? Season 1 is the best. I will not be rewatching this season ever again.
