This did not age well.. ?
This is not the worst Kdrama I’ve watched, but boy.. was it hard to get through..
Aside from the main theme being a 16 yr old high school student marrying a 23 yr old playboy, there were other issues as well..
The way the family accepted their daughter being married off at 16 was crazy.. at least wait til she’s not a minor! The manipulation by grandpa was not cool and showed zero care for the feelings, life goals, or thoughts of the couple..
The storyline would have been much more believable if they got married with the understanding that he would stay abroad doing whatever it was he was doing before, and she would finish high school and graduate college. Then he comes back to Korea, after they’ve both had a taste of life (without stunting her childhood, and he could hopefully become mature enough for a committed relationship) Then it seems like they would have a fighting chance, with no regret later in their marriage for the things they gave up while fulfilling grandpa’s wishes..
This is not a re-watch for me..
