HOW DID THIS EVER GET APPROVED
I can't believe I've wasted ten hours watching an immature teenager and a divorcee fall in love.
Cause that's what this is. Let's be real here, this isn't one of those cutesy, run-of-the-mill younger man/older woman romances where they're both adults in different stages of life learning how to juggle their responsibilities. He's a freaking TEENAGER.
Let me repeat that - HE'S A TEENAGER. He's 17, UNDERAGE, and immature.
He's still in high school, he bullies other people for his entertainment - yes, including the FL - by paying them to either embarrass themselves or humiliate other people in public. And yes, that's how they meet! He pays her to humiliate other people.
On top of that, he's got unresolved mommy issues which are somehow supposed to make his behavior justified, and he hates the establishment that's essentially providing for the rich and carefree life where he gets to satisfy his boredom by paying people to be bullied. His only redeeming quality is that he can make flower arrangements. Whoop-de-doo, what a charmer!
Meanwhile, she's a 27 year old divorcee who doesn't seem to know what the hell she wants from her life. She always reacts first, thinks second, and then stubbornly sticks to her wrong decisions. She keeps getting herself into misunderstandings that make people despise her, but can never seem to explain herself properly. Oh, and did I mention that as the older, more experienced adult who should know better she never once draws a line in her relationship with a TEENAGER?!
You know, I don't fully blame the ML for his behaviors. He's acting immature cause he's a teenager - they're ruled by their hormones and emotions, and can't always tell right from wrong (even though at seventeen you're supposed to know better than this!)
What I don't understand is - which part of that is an older, experienced woman supposed to find attractive? The part where she constantly needs to educate him on boundaries, proper behaviour, and respect towards other? The part where he's constantly angry at the world for no apparent reason, and can't hold a proper conversation with her? Or maybe it's the part where he's freaking out over holding hands with her?
And this show really expects you to take his marriage proposal seriously. For crying out loud!
This was not okay. Not a single thing about this was okay.
