slow paced story with enormous romance


I am huge Jung Hae In fan, so I simply watched this drama to get enormous energy from him. You know he just soooo cute and excellent as an actor.

STORY
A young guy falls for an older woman whom he had a crush on since he was kid. They grew up as family as the FL has a bestie and ML is the brother of her bestie. FL brother is also best friend with the ML. FL is also suffering from work place harassment and ex-boyfriend problem.

PLOT VIEW
I understand that joon hee had crush on jin ah so he falls for her instantly. I felt that jin ah was going through a BREAKUP and while joon hee tries to protect and her, she falls for him. Joon hee woos her with his energetic and polite ways asking her NOONA BUY ME A MEAL. Its really interesting, they bond over food and rain and thats why its something in the rain.
The ex boyfriend is more of like a stalker, why didn’t the FL family get to know what jin ah is going through.
While the romantic scenes were awesome but you know too much of anything spoils the mood. they romance was everywhere and the story didnt seem progressing.
jin ah mother was a total nightmare, she is not concerned with age but the social status, really she was the most stubborn mother of kdramas and super annoying, and until the end she thinks that what she did was right.
I was disappointed with the overall ending of the stories. Workplace matter was shown as secondary story of series but didn’t give a proper ending, WHY.
The second chance was not given enough time, initially the episodes were lengthy but very slow. I felt like skipping but JHI is a savior.

ACTING
Son ye jin awesome, her portrayal of an older working woman was apt. The falling in love with younger guy is also done nicely as she denies it many a times, her thoughts that joon hee is the brother of best friend fits to the societal values but the way she falls for him is really feel good, slowly and charmingly. She has her values but she gives in to the situation is so not right
Jung Hae In my super cute crush. He is amazing and natural. His face does all the work and he is the most perfect choice for Joon hee. The way he woos and protects jin ah, the way he has grown up with his sister without parents is so natural.
Jang se yeon was the bestie I would ask for. She is there for jin ah every time. She is also a good sister and parent to joon hee as she raised him to be a good man.
Wi ha joon was super excellent brother and friend. He was the most thoughtful person. He protected his sister, helped his friend, took a stand infront of the mother. I just loved him.

MUSIC
The most catchy song was save the last dance for me, The classic song by The Drifters. Bruce wills have voiced it perfectly and made a great cover for the series.
Another song I liked was stand your man, another classic by Tammy wynette
Other ost were also nice and worth listening.

REWATCH
The show was kind of slow paced so I would consider just watching the JHI parts. Rather than secondary stories just the main couple.

APPRECIATION
Even though there is age gap between the leads which is also the theme of drama the chemistry is touching. Not for an instance I felt that they were acting, it was so concrete.
The color palette was wow, the snowy white background, the red and green umbrella while walking in the rain.
