I don't know exactly why I binged on this, but I did. Well yeah, there's a reason, who am I kidding: Park Seo Joon.
I had seen him in Kill me, heal me and fallen in love with him, and I was ready for a deeper crush. Needless to say that I ended up head over heels in love with him even more.
He steals the show for me: he's cute, he's intense, he's fresh... He can make you blush with a gaze or a smile, or break your heart when he cries.
I read somewhere that there was something about him that reminded of a younger Gong Yoo, and I agree. They're both so natural in front of the camera, so endearing and adorable that you wish their characters were real and you could meet them... or date them.
Even my age range is closer to Uhm Jung Hwa's character, so I understand her completely.
She was the other reason why I watched this. I like her as an actress: she's sexy, she has charisma and she's an icon in the Korean entertainment industry. I prefer her in more badass roles, but OK.
Yang Hee Kyung was fantastic as Uhm Jung Hwa's mom, and I loved Yoon Hyun Min's character, his sassiness, his flowery suits and polka dot shirts. And the cartoonesque sound effects when he poses were funny.
As for the rest, well it's a noona romance and I like noona romances, but the story was above all saved by both main performances. It's not just about the attraction and the age gap, but all the personal things they have to get over with before their romance flourishes. That part was pretty good.
I could have done with a little too much cheesiness, in my opinion, but fortunately that was only in a few episodes.
Summing up, I didn't end up being a huge fan of this, but it was nice watching it.
