I agree with everything you wrote except the number of episodes. I would rather watch a tight, substantive drama of 12 episodes than 16 with a couple of weak episodes in the middle as so many of them are. Bring on Season 2!

I am a stone. But even I teared up at Bo Gum and Joon Hyuk's warm reunion in the final episode.
Genuine affection.

Because "some people ...get judgmental and form their own opinions" is not a reason to omit this information. As long as a significant age difference is listed in the bios equally among male and female actors there should be no problem. And this website is even handed in doing so. (i.e. Lee Min Jung)

I find this factual detail of interest as I don't look up the actors anywhere else and it is also found on mydramalist when male significant other is older. (i.e. Lee Min Jung bio)

I actually like factual details in the bios as I don't look up the actors anywhere else; "married non-famous girlfriend" or whatever writers add is of interest to me. I have seen bios where the man is x years older and it says so (i.e. Lee Min Jung bio); neither judgmental or biased if founded in fact.

There are far too many spoilers in the comments. (That are not shielded with the blue box)
DO NOT READ COMMENTS like you typically would to determine whether or not to watch.
Take a chance and watch.

That one is my favorite of his. Mature romance, yes. I liked that they were open and honest in communication and late drama separation was brief. The soundtrack is also one of my favorites.

Sorry to make you clarify as I know what you meant. I couldn't help commenting on that kiss. :0)

He is not in Life on Mars, but is indeed an incredible actor and serious eye candy. :0)

Any recommendation with Ha Seok Jin goes to the top of my list. Thank you for this.

This is a great list. I only take issue with your statement about Something About 1 Percent "Very lighthearted again. Nothing major happens between them." Holy crap my television spontaneously combusted when they kissed in episode 13. HOTTEST KISS IN KOREAN DRAMA. And you all know that is saying something. Prove me wrong.

This. I could watch hours of his grateful adorable self just eat meals.

Three words:
Park. Bo. Gum.

Female lead is the definition of selfish; why he liked her in primary school is a mystery to me. If she would have shown some consideration for her husband or his business but it was only from her and her point of view that she reacted. I had to drop this at episode 8, which I hate to do, but she was ungrateful for everything done on her behalf.

Look under title "Mei's Butler"

With you 100%

Agree on all points. First time I've had 2nd male lead syndrome; Asaba was unappealing in nearly every way.

This is what was bothering me; the push to normalize the step-sibling relationship. It felt as though the the whole thing was forced and support characters wholly in support of it.

Incorrect. He does NOT know it's his sister until the end. 1-He didn't want his friend to see her because the friend would see the likeness to his sister.
2- He said he lied to her because (he JUST found out Mina is his sister) he has loved her since they were little children.

Not justifying this creepy trope, but they aren't blood related. Parents married after having children with other partners.
