dramas should stop recreating webtoons

The game parts were cheesy, no one sees themselves as their game characters and nothing on the game would look “cool” like him saving her


Now the 5 years isn’t big but a kid catfishing her?

and 16 years later, so he’s 31? And she’s 35? I don’t believe that’s the age they’re trying to convey xD
But to be fair I don’t think making real 30 year olds act that naively would’ve worked either xD

21 and 25 makes more sense, look wise and behavior wise

they met in 2009 as 15 and 19 year olds and they're supposed to be high positioned employees

meanwhile 2nd leads are 37/38 when they’re 10 /13years older than the 1st leads but they want them to be 3/6 years older?
atleast either cast actual 30 year olds or make the story about them as 20 year olds
there are many great actors in the 30s catagory, and there are many better plots for 20 year olds


like yoo teo in past lives, he plays his 20 year old self, and he doesn't look it, it was also brief, but his acting was convincing, same with jisung recreating his own highschool self, or 30 year olds forced to actually pretend to be a teenager (only kim taeri and a few others are super convincing xD)
Choi Hyun Wook's last couple of roles were highschoolers, but as a 31 year old? it's a bit of a stretch, for example lee jaeuk was believable as someone older but at times it's just better to cast actors to fit the role, or make the role fit the actors
