Is this true that this writer also wrote the masterpiece Secret Garden? Perhaps my expectations were too high. I love most dramas, but it took me several weeks to get through this. It can best be described as "Frat Boys Still Live Together at Age 40". There were no dramatic moments such as in Secret Garden.
Here are my main criticisms : 1. The main tension or conflicts didn't ramp up until the second half and I was already tired of the slow pace.
2. The main female, Seo Yi Soo, was too immature and childish as a 35 year old woman. It was annoying to watch her stomp her feet and shake her body at constant embarrassment like a 5 year old having a temper tantrum. Her reaction to a handsome admirer giving her a kiss was one of a startled deer wide open eye looks. She's supposed to be a mature teacher of challenging teen males and a baseball umpire. This did not fit at all and I did not see a love connection with depth.
3. There was absolutely no kissing between any of the other romantic couples. COME ON! One couple is married and one is getting married!
4. There was no time spent on the most interesting couple. How did a poor playboy marry a sophisticated wealthy heir? And he's unfaithful at that. Quite improbable, but there was at least potential there.
In summary, this could best be described as cutesie or "men having fun." If you don't like the first few episodes, it doesn't get better. I regret watching 20 episodes when there are a lot better.
