• I remembered the articles and fans rant despite not knowing the full extent of the storyline. Like as if all leading man and lead fL will have a love line.

• Cha Eun Woo without romance, I like. Looking forward to this drama.

• Good...Cha Eun Woo can learn to develop his acting skills via acting together with Kim Nam Joo and Kim Kang Woo.

  • One xan only hope his acting will impprove. I am not holding my breath though.

• KNJ and KKW will hard carry the acting chops foe this

• Some K-drama fans are literally the weirdest. Just cos there's a ML and a FL so there definitely HAS to be a romantic involvement between them? There are so many dramas which have a non-romantic connection between the leads, and usually they are the less popular shows but have way better plots and acting. Like, grow tf up and broaden your worldview pls. Maybe start venturing out of east asian dramas as well, there's so much on offer out there that isn't romcoms or revolving around romance.

  Anyway happy to see KNJ (and KKW!) back on my screen after misty again! As for CEW, I always think he acts way better in roles that are non-romantic. How he went from Island to the absolute budget downgrade that was Good Day to be a Dog is beyond me.

  • it is weirder to me that there are so many shoehorned romances in kdramas but people are so against a love line between an older woman and a younger man. it's annoying that people have been subjected to older man/younger women in media since the beginning of time with the stereotype of older men preferring younger women because of misogynistic reasons (thinking older women as no longer attractive/low value) but when fans want to see a beautiful young man show appreciation for a beautiful older woman, there is so much backlash. even speaking about it being morally taboo, well what is moral about murder and revenge?

    • Huh, what are you talking about? Kdrama actually have some popular older woman/younger man romance drama, they even have specific trope for that called noona romance. There even some (kinda) problematic drama like a female teacher with her student or drama that borderline taboo like Secret Love Affair. Just like koala said, they probably just didn't like the idea of to much large age gap couple (like, she/he is your mom/dad age gap) and I agree with that

• Cha Eun Woo is a lucky guy to work with a great actress as Kim Nam Joo , she was fantastic in Misty , and Kim Kang Woo is a such solid actor who is underated ! Don't mind about the no romance as some of my favs dramas aren't romances but if they were to have a romantic line , i don't get the problem , so much old actors have very younger actresses as partners . Now i can understand if an actress or actor feels disconfort to work with very young partners in a romance .

• @Just your ordinary reader of course there are lots of noona drama but if you look at it, you will see that if the ML is even slightly older than ML,they call it noona drama whereas it's not the same with older ML. Like for eg. that forecasting drama with Park min young and Song kang it was called noona drama whereas nobody called Itaewon class a oppa drama despite the same age gap between leads. In Kdrama, FL older than ML are accepted as compared to other industry but still when that happens, the whole story revolve around their age gap which is not the same case with older ML. Well, there are some drama where despite the older FL, their age gap is not the main point of the story but that's quite rare.
