The only thing I don't like about this is the emphasis on the age difference. It might be a matter of culture…
It's also just less common when the woman is older and the man is younger, so people make it a bigger deal (and it feels like a bigger deal). I think it also feels like a more significant gap because guys typically take longer to develop (biologically), and let's be real, society doesn't expect them to mature as quickly as women... so they often don't. "Boys will be boys" is a terrible assumption/expectation that needs to die.
Also, our society today values equal partnerships in romantic relationships. People with age gaps may not all fully be equals (intellectually, educationally or emotionally), and that makes them seem less suited for each other, and may legitimately cause problems in the relationship. Just because both are adults doesn't mean they are equals in maturity, responsibility, and lifestyle/beliefs/choices.
Age gaps can create an extra chasm here between people even though there's a spark or chemistry or tumultuous feelings and it won't carry them through when mundane life sets in.
I am tired of watching childhood connections. Sworn enemy or whatever like LYE. This trope seems overused now.…
Whelp, romantic Kdramas have a 95% chance of having childhood connections between the leads, so it's kinda what you're signing up for when you watch them. 😉
It's just one of those Kdrama tropes I don't think is going away...
I love kdrama so much. The ending I went into a state of shock between the unexpected kiss between Le ML and FL.…
She should have tried pinching his nose first! 😅
But I think I can safely say this is the first time I've seen a kiss used to stop a sneeze. 😅 It's maybe not one of the more romantic uses of the kiss, haha. 😉
The last 10 minutes were HILARIOUS!!!😝I hope Su A finds out Hae Seong has the same age as her soon. I need…
Yes, and the way he reacted afterwards was adorable. He was channeling his high school boy persona at what happened and his face was perfect; the way he wriggled out of the way and clapped his hand over his mouth with an expression of pure horror. I was dying! 🤣
He's great in Are You Human Too?, but the drama itself is kind of average. It's not terrible, but it's not upper…
It's just that I've seen many dramas I've enjoyed a lot more. That said, it was definitely my favorite among the ones I watched with him. He did a great job distinguishing between his robot and human self. ☺️
I quite enjoy the premise of this Also Seo Kang Joon hello?!?!?! How have I not known of him before this drama
He's great in Are You Human Too?, but the drama itself is kind of average. It's not terrible, but it's not upper crust drama material. Same with When The Weather Is Fine. He does a really great job in both, but neither drama I loved, loved. Started Watcher but never finished it.
Does it have a connection to Hidden Love? I just thought the screenwriter was the same.
Ah, I see. Maybe I saw "original creator" and conflated that with screenwriter-- I just remember seeing something about the writer being the same. My bad!
I read more comments and got my own question answered. 😅
But the actors for Sang Yan are completely different in each series so it doesn't feel related at all, as the ML for this is such a different vibe from Sang Yan in HL.
He used a jammer previously so likely assumed that was still working
I also thought he wasn't as impressive as they kept saying he was in the drama (e.g. "he's the one carrying the team!" "he's the best among us!"). Maybe we haven't seen what he can do yet cause he's (mistakenly) assuming it's all a cake walk and being extra lackadaisical?
I loved every second of this! Now... I feel empty... Btw, is Weak hero class good? I need something else :(
I think they're very different. Still a well-written series, and while WHC1 does have themes of friendship and bullying and super violent fights, remove from it the warm and fuzzy feel of Study Group, the nice adults who care, and the policeman willing to get involved, and add some betrayal and a sprinkle of despair/helplessness that is never solved throughout, blatant child abuse, and you've got WHC1. 😅

Besides, most kids have phones, and most of them have Gmail on their phones; it's almost as effective as a way to reach them, if necessary.
