Great drama, poor casting.
The plot isn't special. A pitiful woman and a powerful man slowly fall in love. Very typical for a kdrama, but this show still manages to make the cliche very interesting every episode.
The FL isn't special, She's just a normal mom trying to make a living. She's living a comfortable life and has friends around her. But somehow she's still very interesting character. Maybe it's the whole fish out of water where she first dwells into the world of private education. Maybe it's because it's fun to see how a pitiful woman gets an opportunity to feel loved. Maybe it's both.
Now the casting problem. She was a national athletes so she was like early to mid 20s. Her adapted daughter was in kindergarten so 5-6 yo back them. Now she's in HS so it's been around 10 years since she adopted her. The actress is 49 and the character she's playing is in her 30s. Don't get me wrong she looks great for her age but it feels really forced when people say she looks like young for being a mother of a HS student.
I love the show for the relationship between the mother daughter and how the ML is helping them but I can't feel the chemistry between the main characters. Even the teenager's love life was more interesting.
