Yes, I think we should get used to it by now. No matter how young the FL may look, as long as she's paired with a much younger actor, and the main genre is "romance". Critics full of criques should be expected. But it's a good thing this drama has more watchers supporting the romance than those criticizing it.

And honestly, this drama is exactly what I need after the disappointing ending of wonderful world. I really need a noona romance drama at the moment!! This drama is giving off the vibes of melancholia. And the reason for my conclusion is because of the teacher/student relationship tag. I can't wait for May to come!!!!

It was indeed very unfortunate and disappointing. Even if this screenwriter threw away romance in this drama, did he also had to throw being friends away? The ending is not what I'd describe as "flawless". But then again, I couldn't low this drama's ratings than 8.5, because of its wonderful premiere. And more importantly because of the wonderful acting exhibited by nam joo and eun woo.

Your review was awesome, and thus it caught the eyes of many. I also wrote my review after completing the last episode and I'm glad you loved it. I wanted to give it something like 9 or better yet, retain the 9.5. But I couldn't do it, and why? Because the story started wonderfully but the ending was far from being wonderful. And like I said I expected a more detailed and happy ending. After all those things the first leads had to endure, they just parted ways after achieving their goals? That's ridiculous. And the screenwriter didn't clear the issue about soo hyun's divorce, or did he think it was irrelevant? And do you know what I hate the most about this screenwriter? It's because he threw out the relationship seon yul and soo hyun developed painstakingly, and that's not all, he also didn't bother about letting us know what became of soo hyun's marriage.

What is the message this screenwriter is trying to pass across? Its as if they allied because of gain and not because they care about each other. They had a great chemistry, so why? Why? Why did they part ways in the end? And honestly if not because of the wonderful acting exhibited by eun woo and nam joo, I'd have low this drama's ratings to 8. But I gave it 8.5 because of the great acting exhibited by the actors, precisely eun woo and nam joo.

Yes, we see the two regaining their lost honor. But really, the ending isn't what I hoped for.

But the good thing is that a noona romance kdrama "the midnight romance in hagwon" is scheduled to air soon. The thought alone makes me happy, and the main genre is romance, Wow, its exactly the drama I hoped for!!! And that's not all, it also has a tag of teacher/student relationship, that's exactly the type of genre and tag I love. I'm expecting a plot somewhat similar to Melancholia from this drama.

Who?

It's nothing new when you see a meddlesome mother in cdramas, I've seen many. So dropping the ratings because of the mother is a bit unreasonable. As long as the FL is not a puppet, I'm up for this!!

The screenwriter can be really disappointing.
Why can't he just make their relationship bloom romantically? I'm contemplating whether to keep the 9.5 or low it, but it all depends on the ending as I'm halfway through with episode 13.

Thanks pal for the detailed summary 🙏🙏🙏🙏

It'd appear kim joon is gaining the upper hand from the summary I just read, or am I wrong? And I also think seon yul is ashamed to face soo hyun due to his abominable father's deeds. But really, he shouldn't be ashamed, both him and soo hyun are just victims of circumstances, and I don't think he ought to be blaming himself. After all, he and his father are two different people.

There's nothing more I'd like to see than witnessing the downfall of kim joon, and the divorce of soo hyun. I just hope our first leads will conquer the villain unscathed!!

By the way, did soo hyun divorce soo ho at the end? She didn't forgive him, did she? And soo hyun didn't end up adopting seon yul as her son at the end, right? Because that's the last thing I'd want to see. Being friends is fine with me, but definitely not being in a parent/child relationship!!

I saw your review and it was awesome pal.
I'll be writing mine soon afteywhen I'm through with the last episode.

Wow, I'll be looking forward to that particular episode once I start watching!! It'd seem the FL's mother is stealing the show with all meddlings, or am I wrong?

Thanks pal for the compliment!! But really, I never thought 10 years is still considered huge by some people.

So, you mean it's the FL's mother that's meddlesome? Wow, that's quite unique!! I feel like watching already, but I'm going to endure for a few more days. At least till episode 18 airs, so as to make the wait bearable. But I hope I can wait that long, cause I always end up watching XK dramas before episode 15 airs. And why? Because he always delivers no matter the role he portrays.

Really? Then this drama is definitely going to be one of a kind!! I've seen many cdramas where the mothers are too meddlesome. But judging from your description and comparison, she must be an extremely meddlesome one!!

I was contemplating on whether to watch or not to, but you've changed my mind. I'll start watching soon. And I'm guessing it's the same old story about the mother. I've noticed cdramas mothers mostly have this unique way of displaying their affection for their children. They must think their children are vulnerable, and weak, thus the meddlesome act.
But since you mentioned it, this drama's mother's meddling and way of display of affection must be far greater than most cdramas, right?

Is this drama worthwhile?

Age gap is always an issue whenever a noona romance drama is scheduled to air. Sometimes you'd see people complaining about the huge age gap, and some might just be against older woman/younger man drama. But why the prejudice? An older man can have a younger female partner, but a woman can't?

You call ten years huge? What kind of age gap did you want to see then? two years age difference? three? or maybe four?

I didn't know eun min in real life is the same age as nam joo cause she looked a bit old compared to nam joo. But then again, I thought it was the make up. I guess I was wrong. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean anything, and neither does it make romance forbidden in this drama. It's a pity the screenwriter is not seeing that.
I'll retain the 9.5 if she gets a divorce today, but I'll low the ratings if she stayed an indecisive woman till the end. And I'll give this drama the highest ratings possible "10" should we witness a miracle romance!

Only a miracle can make romance bloom between the first leads. But it's good to see them trusting and confiding in each other, that's a great development. And I have no doubt they'd make a formidable team together. Seol hyun is a very smart man, and he knows when to make his moves. The revenge he planned against soo hyun is the perfect example.

When seol hyun knew how gun woo died, he regretted the fact that he plotted revenge against soo hyun. He saw how miserable soo hyun is, and she's that miserable because of kim joon and his father. So, the only thing he wants is to put an end to kim joon's evil ways!!

I'm guessing episode 13 ended with many unanswered questions and suspense, or am I wrong? And that's the puzzling question I'd also like to know, "who gave seol hyun the heart transplant"? Soo ho is definitely not thinking straight, he's lost it. I think he has been a director for far too long, and has already forgotten that "before he's a director, he was a father".

Wow!! It means a lot of things happened in episode 13 which I'm yet to watch? Wanting to watch it already!! And you are absolutely right pal, I used to be the one who gives you updates, but now, you are the one who gives the updates. How fascinating!!

Soo ho is by no means using his head, did he think all would be resolved just because he gave kim joon the tablet? And he actually kept his wife in check because kim joon said so? I can't believe the audacity, shamelessness, and stupidity of this man.
I can't believe he actually gave away the chance of his son getting the justice he rightfully deserves. Does he still consider himself gunwoo's parent? I don't think so.
His actions doesn't replicate that of a journalist at all. I mean, he's been a journalist for years, and despite that, he still did such a thing?

It's good to hear that the relationship of soo hyun and seol hyun is getting deeper. I'd love to see our first leads conquer it all. And the scene I most certainly want to watch right now is the strangling part. I'd love to see kim joon suffering. I mean, he was always the one who did the hurting, but now he's having a taste of his own medicine.

I agree, no one would cry in front of the person he hates. There's only one reason for his expression, and the reason is he realized she's not her enemy after all!!!

Beats me!! Such a wonderful drama deserves more than 8.2. I've many drama's whose ratings are very high on MDL, but the content turned out to be disappointing.
