Do not think her age is being targeted. Think is just the fact that she does appear to be her actual age (38)…
This. He looks very young. She looks her age. and she’s gorgeous! But there is a stark visual gap that isn’t being bridged by her acting so that people can get over it. That’s the issue.
MANY Cdrama’s have older female leads and younger male leads and it’s fine. it’s just not working in this one.
There will be critiquing of the show in this comment. If you don't want to read that, just close this back up…
I agree. There is no visceral emotional tone. It feels disjointed. Forgetable.
it’s all super strange to me because A Journey to Love from the same director is one of the best Cdrama’s ever made. it’s bizarre how this one is just subpar. There discussion on Reddit is better at explaining the problems, but everyone is pretty much in consensus there are problems.
Are we watching the same show? The fight for justice has started from ep 3 and the heart fluttering love between…
I’ve watched 12 Billion Cdrama’s. There is a difference between “He fell first” and whatever this is. She simply isn’t giving ANYTHING. And I’m not alone in feeling this as evident by the many other people with a similar opinion. And I love Victoria so I came here excited for her.
There have been fabulous dramas this year all with incredible chemistry and performances. So this drama looks extremely lackluster in comparison.
A Journey to Love is also one of my favorite dramas that I rate 10/10 so I have high expectations from this director and this simply isn’t hitting any marks for me 16 episodes in.

Yes we are watching the same show and it’s been extremely EXTREMELY lackluster. And I don’t know where you are seeing “heat” between them. She’s giving zero heat.
The trailer for this had me hyped for a dynamic, compelling, butterfly inducing, taboo love story where the chemistry would percolate and our hero and heroine would overcome all odds and prejudice to fight for justice and love. I’m getting none of that 16 episodes in.
The Synopsis is not correct for the drama and has tried to be edited/deleted but MDL doesn’t allow it once drama airs. There is no rebirth for this drama. The rebirth happens in the novel only.
