good enough if you are looking for something light hearted. if not.. just skip
This drama is a sillier version of "something in the rain".
Plot: a 31 years old single lady is courted by her way younger childhood friend. Will they or won't they?
Strong points:✅
Good acting.
The portrait of "older" women (I use that term loosely) as desirable and beautiful despite a society which constantly pushes for younger and cute girls as peak beauty.
The development of the "mean girl". I really like her ark. She starts as an immature girl with a broken heart and becomes a more mature person.
Weak points❌
The ml lead. I love this actor. I recently saw him in "love and speed" where he played a sad sexy boy. The amount of sex appeal he portrait in that drama is insane🤣🤣 which creates a big contrast with his role in this drama.
His character in this drama is frankly cute at first but extremely annoying from the middle point.
This guy has no life nor personality outside of the fl. Through flashbacks we discover that everything he does, feel, or want was influenced by his childhood sister.
Even music, which is his dream, is basically the result of his "sister " telling him she liked a singer when she was a kid.
He is way to dependent on her and acts like a love puppy.
He signed a contract to come back in town and basically get together with his beloved "sister" and disregards everything this contract involves.
He has no respect for anyone else except her and constantly tries to jeopardize his own carrier.
They get together too soon. She never saw him as a potential lover but after a couple of home cooked meals and some sweet words she is all over him. If you really considered him just a brother I feel the internal struggle should have been a bit more intense.
The parentification here is real. At the beginning of each episodes we get bits of their childhood and it's clear both of their parents just left 2 children basically unattended. These should be "light hearted" scenes but it's quite appaling to watch sometimes.
At episode 27 I started fast forwarding like crazy. These 2 elast episodes are basically fillers.
Conclusions:
This could have been a realistic depiction of a couple who struggles with age gap but at the end it became pretty unrealistic. That's not a critique. It is just a light hearted ROM com good if you are looking for something light hearted without much struggle.
Recommendations:
Recommended if your a looking for a cute , fluffy love story.
If you'd like a more serious version of this trope, I recommend "something in the rain".
