People are complaining not because of her real life age but her character's age (who was still in high school…
I agree that the real life age should be more prioritized therefore I don't condone casting minors along with adults in dramas. I didn't follow Love In The Moonlight's comments when the drama was airing but I have seen people talk about the age gap between the leads in that drama. As for this drama, both actors are as of age but Yoojung's character was underage when the kiss happened. So I believe that in both cases, people should be outraged though the outrage should have been louder for Love In The Moonlight since it's the ages in real life and it's sad that the drama did not receive the backlash it deserves for casting a minor and an adult together.
I just love how everyone is complaining about her kissing a grown man in the show as a teenager that she is playing…
People are complaining not because of her real life age but her character's age (who was still in high school when the kiss happened). Though I do agree with your comment about Love In The Moonlight, that was one of the reasons why I couldn't watch that drama.
What controversial plot?? i can't understand these rating and all these comments :/ Please elaborate
Basically, from the first episode alone: - Culture appropriation: one of the characters were wearing dreads and they showed flies coming out of his head - The age gap between the characters: there was a kiss scene between a minor and an adult (the adult did not push the minor away or anything and even gave her his phone number).

I've been a bit disappointed in all the negative comments I see on this amazing show. So I would like to take…
I can't believe you're taking this much time in writing almost an essay about statistics and making regression analysis on ratings just because of some online criticisms of your favourite TV show.
I'd like to address the so called microwave romance in KTEM, and the supposed lack of chemistry.I believe majority…
In your second paragraph, you are making a generalization. You said that most people who give construct criticisms on the chemistry of the two leads are those who are 35+ and grew up with the old-fashioned ways of portraying love in K-Dramas. I, myself, don't see the chemistry between the two leads and I don't fall in the supposed age range that you have mentioned nor do I see the chemistry and condone the misogynistic behaviors of the male leads in the dramas of the past. These days, Korean drama writers have stopped portraying such toxic relationships between the ML and FL and have given into more mature writings. Examples could be seen in dramas such as Search: WWWW. The writing for relationships in that drama worked, moved audiences, and showcased the leads and supporting characters' chemistry and how their relationships developed into something more. The mature writing you speak of TKEM is different. Here, we have no build-up for the ML's love for the FL except for the reason that she may be the person who saved him in the past. With the choppy editing and confusing dialogues, we really have no idea when the FL started to develop feelings for the ML either. Therefore, viewers are left unsatisfied and underwhelmed with the romantic relationship between the leads. If the writing and editing were successful, there wouldn't be this much complaint coming from the audiences.
I've heard people having second-lead syndrome with Chilbong so I wanted to see how it is. So far, I agree with them that the second lead syndrome is really apparent in this series (along with Reply 1988). I feel bad that I just see Trash and Na Jung as siblings (even though they aren't actually siblings but they had that vibe) so it was uncomfortable for me to watch their lovey-dovey scenes. I knew she wasn't going to end up with Chilbong and even though Trash is ok, I would prefer her to end up with Chilbong and Trash supporting her and continuing their friendship with each other.
Exactly. People have different opinions in regards to any dramas out there, not just this one. There will be some that loves it and some who won't find the drama appealing to them. There is no right or wrong, it is all subjective.
Some die-hard fans here really think that giving constructive criticisms on the writing/pace of the drama equals hate. While I do not condone people being rude towards the actors and actresses, this is still the comment section and people are free to express their opinions on whether or not they enjoy the drama.
