I have. Here are the tags: Age Gap [Drama Life], Age Gap [Real Life], School Violence, Miniseries, Pre-produced, Antihero, Revenge, School Bullying, School, Suspense. Perhaps you want to interpret 'age gap' for all us thickies?

They had no chemistry and she played a 19 year old like a particularly dumb 13 year old, but she has improved a lot and was a delight in - for example - Yumi's cells.

In what episode do they start dating? Does he like her first or the other way around?

I'll be interested to see more detail about this. Is there a fourth sister? Who's the professor equivalent (we're assuming that WHJ is Laurie, but maybe he's not).

I don't have a 'problem' with either pairing as long as they're both grown-ass adults. I also don't care about the relative ages of the actors and actresses involved (as long, etc.). I DO have a problem with the - dishonest - evaluation that people are fine with old man/young woman dramas but not with the reverse. In my experience, they're shrieky about both. And the sheer number of noona dramas churned out suggests the 'problem' exists only in the minds of people who actively want Noona dramas.

What 'acting skills'? When have you ever seen him do anything but standing there (looking pretty) and staring? He's the male equivalent of Song Hye Kyo.

I feel this drama ought to be renamed "the story of a girl . . . and her ill-fitting wig" as they were the main characters.

I'm loving every minute of this so far. I think I've been starved of proper acting in the last couple of dramas I watched (and no, blank-faced staring doesn't cut it) so the fact that everyone is delivering a full-on performance is really joyful. And the guy playing Eul Tae . . . what an OTT, campy delight . . .

No, I'd be creeped out by stalker ML's, too. Particularly ones who cried 4 times an episode. Or who constantly stopped another doctor on their way to a medical emergency. It's not the actor's fault - she's written that way.

"Saying that it's only fiction is very insensitive. It's ignoring people who were hurt during the 1987 events and can still be hurt by a fictional representation of it for the sake of your own entertainment. It's not a very clever move."

This, 100%. I'm not sure a rational person would ever think that their right to simp over an 'oppa' (who, by the way, will never know they exist) trumps the right for the murdered and disappeared - or their families - to have certain aspects of history portrayed, well, accurately. And it would have been so easy to tweak one or two elements to eliminate the dodgy elements completely.

He's decent in Sweet Home and a couple of other things. He didn't shine in Nevertheless but that was partly about the writing and his character (or lack thereof) and only partly about him doing that blank-faced staring thing that passes for 'acting' in (some) Korean dramas.

So a noona pairing, then?

The thing is, you have to go back several years to find a handful of old man/young woman dramas (that's why people constantly resurrect Goblin as their 'proof') but they churn out Noona crap at the rate of 3 or 4 a year. I get why, it's a sop to the middle aged women/wish fulfillment audience but lets not be dishonest about the numbers.

Most of those look pretty good.

No, it's historically accurate, they die 13 years apart and there's no reincarnation.

Did you miss the scene where he accidentally spills her takeaway and she chases after him, screaming like a demented harpy jumps on him and starts beating at/pulling at his head? Or is that 'funny'?

Well, Song Hey Kyo isn't a very good actress AND she only seems to accept roles were she can mack on to much younger men, so . . .

There is an age gap tag, though. What does that mean? That the parents ae older than the children?

This started off bad and cringingly cliched (the FL's disproportionate and ugly violence) and didn't get any better. What a waste of time.

There needs to be a 'no romance' tag, so the usual drongos don't ask this question, repeatedly, every 4th or 5th post.
