Romance of the adult leads was stuck in 20th century. Romance, dating and flirting in 2024 has moved on from stilted and childish characters portrayed in this drama. This is most annoying when the characters are 30+. The younger versions of the leads had more passion and chemistry. Overbearing parents / elders are becoming cliche. I liked ji won’s mum’s character so much more relatable. Even the costumes of the characters seemed dowdy and not really in keeping with Seoul fashion.
the secondary storyline didn’t become clear until last two episodes and felt flat and uninteresting.
