Everything is great but the age & authority gap,,

Okay so first of all the acting is really good. Script & character writing also seems great for now, and chemistry is not bad either.
The story itself is also rather unique, i don't think I have seen one like that before.

My main/only issue is the age gap. Yes around 12 years isn't much (esp the older you get) and Hyunjae is an adult. But there is a huuge experience and additionally authority gap.
Giu has been through multiple jobs, marriage and is now a highschool homeroom teacher, while Hyunjae is still a Highschool senior.

Personally as someone who is around his age, just thinking about anything like that with my teachers makes me feel icky.

Story wise I am still intrigued though and will continue watching. Portraying these "relationships" in media isn't a bad thing, as long as it gets realistically talked about.
I don't have high expectations that they will talk about this, but i hope everyone watching this keeps in mind it's not a professor x student kind of relationship but high school teacher × senior.

If there is a happy end and they stay together, I really hope they got to know each other trough those chats.
I am prepared for the worst though, which in my opinion would be one of them falling really hard and the other just giving in :,)

Lastly, I want to add that there isn't automatically a bad person with horrible intentions in these relationships. They can get really toxic very fast, while both genuinely just want to best for each other.

I hope everything is understandable, english is not my first language :D
