I don’t understand the ratings on this app. This drama is rated 8.1, but it really feels more like a 6 or 7 at best, and that’s being generous. Personally, I gave it a 4.5. Meanwhile, Sold Out on You is only rated 8.0, which doesn’t really make sense to me....
I’ve watched the two episodes so far, but honestly it feels very generic like something I’ve seen many times before. The acting isn’t great either; it comes off a bit too exaggerated for my taste, and the ml feels kind of stiff. There’s not much to say about it so far, nothing really stands out or leaves a strong impression.
Thinking back on it, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this excited and so hooked on a k-drama especially for a romance. I feel like in recent years they’ve all been so bland, but this one really stands out.
Shin Seori is 30 tho, it was on her CV. Kang Dansim (aka her joseon counterpart) was 20 something. There was a…
I actually had the time to observe it more carefully, and even the hairstyles make a difference. The female lead is given a more aging hairstyle, while the others have things like braids or generally more flattering styles. I know her outfit is traditional, etc., but in the moment, it doesn’t really help the overall perception.
And in general, people can be the same age but still look very different. One can appear younger, another older. It’s just an observation. There are people in their 20s who can look 30 or 40, and others who look much younger.
Attacking her appearance, then saying you’ll still continue watching it, is so hypocritical. You even admitted…
I’m simply pointing out the mismatch between her age and the character, that’s just an observation.
And calling it hypocritical to keep watching? Sorry, but wanting to give a show a fair chance before forming a more informed opinion isn’t hypocrisy, it’s just a normal and reasonable approach. Honestly, that reaction feels a bit strange to me.
I’m familiar with the actress and have seen her in many roles, and I feel like in this one her talent is being underused and doesn’t come through as strongly. That’s why I’m saying an actor isn’t necessarily suited for every type of role. Also, last time I checked, you can appreciate an actor without loving every single performance, that’s kind of the point. An actor can either stay within a similar type of role or explore different ones, and that’s exactly where you see the range and depth of their craft.
I’m not criticizing her appearance, I’m commenting on the casting choice for this specific role. It’s purely an observation based on the character, and I would have said the same thing regardless of who was cast. And yes, I’ll keep watching because I want to see how it develops before forming a final opinion.
My perspective is valid, and if you don’t agree, that’s fine, but that’s not my problem. You’re the one attacking me and acting like I’m being hostile, when in reality I actually like the actress. Right now, your response comes off as immature. People should be able to accept that others can have different opinions, especially when I haven’t shown any hate or hostility.
Also, stop getting offended for no reason or reacting as if I insulted someone you personally love, it’s honestly exhausting. You need to manage your sensitivity a bit better. We’re not in elementary school here.

Even if she’s 30, she honestly looks closer to 40… unfortunately, it’s quite distracting, but I’ll try to overlook it. It’s still a bit strange that she’s 30 while most of Shin Seo Ri’s colleagues look younger.
For now, I feel pretty neutral because I’m not really sure what to think yet. I like the actors, but I find that the actress looks way too old for the role; she easily looks around 40, while she’s supposed to portray a 20-year-old. The age gap is quite noticeable, and you can clearly feel that she’s older than the male lead.
That said, their chemistry is definitely there, I’m not denying it, but the age mismatch just doesn’t sit right with me. Also, the acting feels a bit forced at times.
I also feel like she’s not the right fit for this role, not because she’s a bad actress, quite the opposite, she’s very talented. But the overall atmosphere, styling, and outfits actually make her look older and accentuate her age instead of flattering her. It doesn’t showcase her well at all. I hope we’ll see her with her hair down and in more modern outfits, because right now it doesn’t work for me at all. She gives off more of a motherly or much older vibe 😭. I think she would shine much more in other types of projects. Sometimes, an actor just isn’t suited for every role, and seeing her in this kind of character feels a bit out of place.
Considering Shin Seo Ri’s character is also supposed to be in her twenties i guess, and in transmigration stories, characters usually inhabit someone of a similar age to their original self, this makes it feel a bit inconsistent.
Still, it all depends on how the story develops; it could quickly become repetitive. But I’m willing to give it a chance and see where it goes.
This drama truly deserves a rating of at least 8.7. Personally, I’d give it a 9.2 but come on everyone, let’s push its score up, it really deserves it!
