Mid 50 to 40 age gap NOT anything to lose your rockers over
Yes I read the age cap criticisms before show had a date release. I don’t know why I decided to play it anyways. It’s been a riot, cast did a great job, enjoyed the relationships. To me, it’s a gem.
Mind you this had lots of room for improvement. There’s a shortage of meaningful extensions to some of the characters, underdeveloped if you will. Second lead couple was minimally effective yet they were part of the big hype. Now that I’ve admitted that, let me give you why this was super cute.
First, people please cut the cast some slack on age inferiority. These are very grown adults by today’s standard. He’s late fifties, she’s early forties. I would let you think as you like if for instance a famous coach in his seventies and gf in early twenties cuz that can mess with the mind (actually none of us has business with anyone’s relationship but just saying) . The point is, when Cupid draws its arrow, who are we to say what we want. Let it be.
I give so much credit to the cast, especially Lee Jung Jae. Whatever reason he chose this project, good on him. A bucket list fulfillment? Check n check. His character is goofy, almost like a silly teenager once he fell. Who says a grown man can’t be like that when he’s awkwardly finding his footing to woe? Who? It was endearing! There isn’t a formula on how to act when you fall in love so in this drama, to see an overgrown man just ‘falling’ on his feet practically to get the woman was so cute. There was nothing cringy about it, it came late for him and watching him makes you want to root for him. On top of that, his character as a star is so many people. You get to a point in your career where you start trimming and plan for exit. I did a lot of pondering as his character is very relatable to the point I’m at.
Besides him, I think the rest of the cast are fun, did so good that they helped to keep me engaged. I especially enjoyed the manager of male lead; their relationship. Wonderful veterans in this drama…as well as up and coming actors as well.
Ending was fine. Didn’t expect any lovey dovey as female lead was clueless to the very near end so not surprised at how it ended. It’s fine.
On low rewatch cuz there’s too many dramas to see. I’d just like to encourage everyone to give the cast a chance as this is quite fun and cute. Thanks
