@Tofu The sypnosis is ↑

I'm really hoping it won't be. . .

[abs-oluteM]

I’ll bring the conversation over here @mademoiselle @SilverMoonTea @Chocolate @ktcjdrama

 

TBH , I like this actress . I told my mum …I could sense her apprehension. Not because of the age gap . She can be a bit biased on the actress . We will know when this starts. 
🤣🤣. As to oppas , it’s true that age is no barrier. 

 

@ktcjdrama yes I remember the guy that played Dr Roy . Very clearly since The 3rd Charm was a nightmare of a plot 🤪

So many revenge dramas lately, why?!

 

I like the FL, but I don't know if I'll watch it. While noona-dongsaeng dramas are not my favorite, I still watch quite a bit of them. This age gap is too big for me and I would need oppa love to consider watching. Unfortunately, Cha Eun Woo is not an oppa.

I will let you know when it is more set in stone about their "relationship". I kind of think Kim Nam Joo herself would say no to romancing any young man as young as Eun Woo (he is 1997er) on TV. It will draw unnecessary criticism and comparison (The Glory is a good example). Not wanting to discriminate women (and myself), but the age gap here is really really big and it does not look particularly good visually with such huge difference on public TV.
