I write review based on my feeling around 24hrs after watching a drama. I fee this is enough time to sit back and think of what went on without judgement being clouded.
The casting I believe was all wrong. Ji-Ho character was fine but Jeong-in looked far too mature on screen for her age. I thought nearly the whole time (until it was mentioned) that she was older than him and that it was going to turn into a forbidden love due to age. The clothing was all wrong! Who wears her kid of outfits/shoes even to work in your early 30’s? Not sure if they were trying to dress her as an image of her job but imho it looked stranger.
Even as a well educated lady, I struggled with the dialogue. Whether it be the translations or not but I found a lot of it was question and answer. Why do this and why do that. I struggled to comprehend in part exactly what the problem was as the answers were never straight forward.
The music we all know was rubbish. The songs themselves were easy on the ear but by the end you know the lyrics off by heart it plays that often.
Overall, it’s a good watch if you like realistic stories of Korean culture. For me, it seemed to far fetched and frustrating at times due to the push and pull of the love triangle, the MF family and don’t get me started on the secondary storyline of Seo-in.
