The most unrealistic thing about this drama is that Ae-Jung can somehow have four men chasing after her. During the flashbacks, we see glimpses of a personality that make it somewhat understandable that the men connected to her past idolized her when they were all younger, but the fact that those three grown-ass men have placed her on a pedestal and are still harboring feelings for her approximately 14 years later is ridiculous, especially when she has clearly grown and matured into a different person.
Of those three men, only Dae-Oh, who dated her and felt betrayed by her leaving him, would logically have a strong emotional tie to her all these years later, but even then it doesn’t make sense that his bitterness over her leaving him would so quickly evolve into love again without first receiving an explanation for why she left him, which will likely turn out to be some “misunderstanding” that could have been rectified 14 years ago. The other two men from her past, however, just come off as pathetic, having never gotten over their first crush on a woman they never had any real emotional stake in.
Pa-Do, in my opinion, is the only one of the four suitors that seems to be a match for present-day Ae-Jung. While his initial interest in her was due to her physical likeness to a woman in his past, it is apparent that he sees her as a separate individual. He admires her work ethic and her relationship with her daughter, the latter of which has sparked a change in him to try harder at improving his relationship with his son. He likes who Ae-Jung is now--a struggling mother fighting to make a name for herself--while the rest of her suitors are hung up on the past. Sadly, Pa-Do probably won’t be the one who ends up with her in the end.
I’m going to try and hang on to this drama until the end, but the “Who's your daddy?” plot and the constant bickering between the male leads is growing tiring.
