I hope Han So Hee's performance is more My Name and less Nevertheless in this - and that they don't use gel filters for all her scenes again . . .

Me too. Though having a bromance with yourself might be difficult . . .

What is 'misleading' about it? It's about a relationship between a 40-something female teacher and one of the then-teenage pupils she taught 4 years earlier is it not? Someone with whom she went on private, one-on-one 'field trips' at the time. But, apparently, she doesn't start full-on slurping after him until episode 4. So that's OK.

I think some people dislike it because it's very, very dull and because the acing -particularly from the FL - is bad. Not because we want a "childhood sweetheart college puppy love story". I for one would welcome something more gritty and realistic. Unfortunately, this IS a "childhood sweetheart college puppy love story" it's just that the female lead is quite a bit older and is very wooden.

I agree, the setup of this drama is not in any way realistic but I'd rather have an unashamedly unrealstic drama, well executed and well acted than this boring mess.

Yeah, it's hard to believe sometimes that many posters didn't grow up in the 1950s. Maybe they did.

I'm not sure its realistic to show kind, handsome young men - with, lets face it, better options - falling instantly in love with, and pursuing emotionless or angry, middle aged women, to quite the extent that kdrama does. It's wish fulfillment fantasy, like all the Hollywood films pairing 20 or 30-something, attractive women with . . . Harrison Ford or Sean Connery.

I think the age-gap thing was exacerbated by Kim Go Eun playing 19 (in my world an adult, albeit a young one) as if she was 12 or 13. She's become a much better actress since, but all the squealing and mugging made me cringe.

Mask 'Woman' surely? She's 50.

I think you've misunderstood my point pretty dramatically.

It's household tips show, but delivered so charmingly you'll be, well, charmed.

For a drama with a sprinkling of saucy bits, it's so. very, dull. The female lead, in particular - is she meant to be on Ambien? Will there be a big 'reveal' that she has a brain tumour or Parkinson's? I think she's attempting closed-down-because-of-trauma but doesn't have the acting chops to pull it off.

I suspect because that way they have at least a small chance of having the news reported straight. Rather than a 'friend' leaking the information and a bunch of prigs, who still think its the 1950s, speculating.

How are things in Alabama these days?

I've loved Gong Hyo Jin in most things I've seen her in - she's lively and expressive, a natural actor. On the other hand, Lee Min Ho is kind of . . . wooden. Pairing them might be a mistake.

It's always been the case that the most priggish, prudish and sour-faced critics are the ones with the dirtiest secrets to hide. A rational person would never rely only on - unprovable - allegations or rumours (from either party) before they leapt to judgement.

Wow, this is bad. I knew the plot was shonky but the 'acting' is beyond cringe, too. I looked for a light, fluffy drama but that doesn't need to mean naff and embarrassing. On the plus side, some of the male characters are pretty.

A rational mind wouldn't choose to 'believe' either version without evidence. .

I don't care about the allegations for a number of reasons:

1. The whole truth might never be revealed (unsurprising in a he said/she said scenario).
2. It's a 'private life' thing, rather than a criminal offence.
3. I'm not anti-abortion. Nor do I live in 1950s Alabama and own a shotgun.
4. I don't look to entertainers for moral guidance, I just want them to be good at their job.

I'm not 'confused' thanks. Duckk got it.
