This is another discussion. I was just replying to the "own interest" judgement.

They were both so boring, with flimsy voices and no expression, no feeling at all.

He's hilarious, though. And quite warm-hearted and sensitive, too. He got emotional hearing Jin Wu sing.

Good? They messed up her lips real bad.

Child trafficking? LOL. It's the same thing with athletes, young and adult ones. Soccer players get sold every day.

Let's remember that "her own interest" is her disabled child.

Yes, that's why I tend to think that it depends on a good director. Because Romantic Guesthouse was bad all around, and Watermelon was a wonderful series all around, drawing the best out of every actor.

His acting was embarassingly bad in Romantic Guesthouse. But here he's good. I don't know whether it's the role, or he matured, or he has a better director. Be as it may, great improvement, kudos to him.

That's why I said it seems unlikely.

But the deaf boy was reckless. Why choose to confront the four bullies on a solitary dark road? He could say those things in class.

It's unlikely for me too.

Obviously talking of the two mean leads. Kang Su Hyeon, the female producer, with Wu Jin U, the wannabe idol she is managing.

Yes, yes, if the actor is a star, s/he can have preferences. But I was addressing the "Oh, after 40, no more romance" way of thinking.

You know... nevertheless, I'm enjoying it. I would have welcomed more subtle acting, but it's not bad.

But why would he? Namgung Min is no spring chicken either, but he did "My Dearest" which of course was not only romance, but had a strong romance in it. Life doesn't end at 40, neither does love.

Also she's not graceful at all. When she dances, it's like gym moves. When she walks, she walks bent, with feet apart, like an old lady with arthritis although she doesn't have any. Like a caricature. Generally, the overacting is annoying.

I predict that they will go the "virtuous", bland and comfortable way, because the conservative South Korean viewers would be scandalized otherwise. Oh Mal Sun will choose to become old again at the end and get together with Mr. Park who is her age, thus "appropriate", in the viewers' minds.
So what about the male main lead? Is he going to remain heart-broken and solo?
No chance for the twin sister to become Emily again: in the scene where she told the taxi driver that she regrets returning to her old self, the taxi driver replied that once she chose to return to being old again it wasn't possible to have a second chance at youth.
So who is the young man going to end up with? There is no other plausible love interest for him. I suppose we have to wait and see.

Dropped after one episode. Very conventional tropey story, cringe over-acting.

I found it on Youtube. https://youtu.be/BpBdo6KaLi4?si=Dm6JfTg84X5Aqu7j

I dropped it before even finishing the first episode. It was boring AND infuriating at the same time. The manipulation and coercion, the forcing someone to do what he hates doing, all this together was distasteful. Not to mention the pooping in one's pants - how necessary was that for the plot? Zero.
