Age cap is an opinion
Yes I read the age cap criticisms before show had a date release. I don’t know why I decided to play it anyways. Five episodes in and I’m pleasantly enjoying it.
Treat it like any rom-com and you’re squared away. It’s not a complicated plot, (why I’m thinking The Greatest Love, in comparison) but well meaningful as a reporter and over ripe actor face nuances of run ins that is totally typical of these kdramas romcom. Sprinkled with comedy, and typical nonsense as again, a common trope, this isn’t bad and I’m enjoying it as it unfolds.
I give credits to the actors taking a risk. Jung Jae, Im Ji Yeon as leads, very well known, most likely knew the possibility of backlash, but for whatever reason they did I applaud their decision. To do list fulfillment? Expansion of acting variety? Whatever. For viewers, it is an added variety to drama choosing. After all, there’s not a lot of age gap dramas. As for the other cast members, they’re beloved veterans (Kim Ji Hoon, Seo Ji Hye, etc) who add to the development and depth of the drama as it unfolds. It’s seriously not a bad drama at all.
So, if you’re picky and will hate that an over grown single man may be finding love way late, OR that a mid grown woman might be interested in this over age man, stay clear away and find an idol drama. If that don’t matter and you want a well meaningful love story age gap and all, give this one a try. The cast deserves your try.
