Unfortunately it would be worse...see the comment section for Chuugaku Seinikki. I wish people would understand…
Thank you both for your opinions. Truth be told I've seen in the comments section where both sides get bent out of shape over these issues. My main take away from all of this is that it is fiction. If you don't want to watch it...don't. These are actors and actresses who sign contracts for these roles....even the young ones with parental consent. While there might be roles that make some people cringe...at the end of the day it is fiction. I would like to say that I make a decision on the contribution of the actor/actress (no matter the age) after watching the work. Sometimes the topic itself might be controversial...which is why everyone feels the need to express their opinion...but let's wait to see what the drama actually shapes up to be...it could completely change the way we feel about it...one way or the other.
Just finished this series and while I thoroughly enjoyed it, I have no idea what I just watched. Can someone please explain to me how everything fit together? Was each a stand alone story or were they linked somehow? Is Nanno karma?
I bet if this was a noona romance y'all wouldn't be getting all bent outta shape. :/
Unfortunately it would be worse...see the comment section for Chuugaku Seinikki. I wish people would understand that acting is a job and it is fiction.
After reading this article, I went to the drama page to read about the drama and the comments people were making. And I added it to my plan to watch list. First and foremost it is a work of fiction. Secondly it's hard to make a judgment based on something that isn't finished. There are a lot of comments regarding the age of the characters but even the description doesn't say how there relationship developed and/or when they fell in love. There seems to be a lot of inference in that regards in the comments. I enjoy teacher/student dramas, the same way I enjoy boss/employee dramas...but at the end of the day they are dramas...works of fiction.
In my opinion, the biggest issue isn't really the age gap between the FICTIONAL characters...because we don't know what age they are when they develop MUTUAL amorous feelings toward each other...at least I don't. And it not something I can conclude just reading the description. The biggest issue is the hypocrisy in which gender plays a factor. When we see these same dynamics in a male teacher/female student, it doesn't get nearly as much flack as a female teacher/male student. Why? Because females are held to a different/double standard...no matter what part of the world you live in. It is a recognized phenomena in most societies. And we've seen this same thing play out in other dramas/movies. Older men with younger women....he's a stud, etc. Older woman with a younger man...what's wrong with her, etc. And let's not forget the fact that Japan is mainly patriarchal, as evidenced by their depiction of women in most works...whether it be drama, movies, anime, etc.
Some people watch horror, crime, fantasy, romance, etc. But do we really expect those works of fiction to play out in our everyday lives....the answer is no. It's a means of escape and/or entertainment. It is one thing to list constructive criticism of a drama/movie after watching it...but I've seen so many times where people offer comments based on a description alone. And we all know there are times when the descriptions listed does not do the works justice.
That was my really long winded response to say this...let's refrain from making judgments on dramas/movies when he haven't seen them. And stop comparing them to reality...99% of what happens in these works, will almost never ever happen to the average person.
And if it does, there are a list of things I would like to sign up for right now.....superpowers, meeting fairies, not getting amnesia, randomly meeting a rich person who has decided to give away all their riches to me....the list continues.
The show is 32 episodes 35 minutes long each. A lot of shows are going to this format. Although because they show 2 episodes, its really 1 hr. Some sites put both episodes together for the 1 hr, which is why you'll see 16 episodes sometimes. Go figure for this new format.

I completely understand how you feel. I vary rarely, if ever, comment on dramas, but this one just made me feel…
Finished it. At first I just wanted to get through it because I had a really hard time liking the female lead character. However she does redeem herself. And then I started watching it in earnest. In all honesty, I did skip through some scenes....but overall it was okay. I didn't love it but I didn't hate it either. The ending left me with a lot of .... how did that happen ... mostly because you see the end result but no process ... magic is real...jk. Did you keep watching it? It not and you run out of things to watch...try picking it back up.
This is the first time I felt annoyed toward lead female, I hope in next epi, I will change my mind on her. Anyway…
I completely understand how you feel. I vary rarely, if ever, comment on dramas, but this one just made me feel compelled to. I was seriously looking forward to this drama, but there is something off about the female lead. It is not her as an actress as I've seen her in other things. The character lacks something. Now, I've only seen the first two episodes, and feel like I'm having to drag myself to continue watching due to her character.
I think the biggest problem I'm having to overcome is her reaction to someone who saved her life...and the fact that this doesn't even seem to register with her. Her character literally went...."Oh he saved my life, but said something weird so now I'm going to profit off of it." It was just an overlooked plot point to bring her back into the picture. There is a lot of the character's personality that seems at odds. Hopefully as I continue watching, this issue will resolve itself.
Of course I will hang in there for Seo Kang Joon...he is absolutely adorbs and sexy...lol...he pulls it off.
