Cute, well-produced. but oddly unsatisfying
I gave this show an 8 because objectively it's still better than many romcoms I've seen. The story is cute and fluffy, the actors were charming and did their best with the script they were given. If I turned off my braincells and were in the mood to watch a fun show, I may have given this an even higher score.
I was just dissatisfied with the personality of the FL. For a successful, award-winning singer with previous romantic relationships, she seemed very naive and coy. I don't mind that behavior in a youth romance with a student falling in love for the first time, but it was jarring from a character who was set up to be emotionally strong in the opening episode - judging how she reacted to her ex. I thought, "Hey, this girl has BALLS." Then she proceeded to lose IQ/EQ when she crushed on someone she met online.
That may be my own personal preferences/mood but it did affect how much I enjoyed the show, and how I emotionally connected to the romance and the sweet moments. I love age gap romances but I guess I want the FL to act their age. But otherwise, the show meets the criteria of a fluffy Cdrama romance.
