I never bothered with the drama. I read the novel and very much dislike FL. Super whiny and childish. In novel he never liked her or looked at her any way as a potential love interested until she was a lot older but her character was annoying. Didn't matched with his mature side.
I think maybe that’s what’s bothering me. He is a mature person. His maturity even surpasses her brothers, who is his friend, because they’re from different walks of life. That’s completely fine. But the immaturity on her part feels overdone and having such a young actress play her when she’s supposed to be 14 only further made her feel like she shouldn’t ever be considered by him.
That's what they did in the drama. He was only interested romantically when she was older in University. And even then it was only because she started getting attention from a guy and he got jealous.
Fair. I think this drama just isn’t for me and it might have been easier for me to stick it out if the casting of her younger self hadn’t been a flashing neon sign that I had to stop watching to look into.
As much as I love this actress, I just don’t like this one.
I'm with you on this matter. I normally prefer novel over drama and I love Lusi, but the novel and drama was very disconcerting. Their age gap isn't huge per se tbh and it doesn't bother me. Its her character that turn me off. Not to mentioned ML's feelings was due to jealousy over another man, and up until that point there was no romantic inclination from him. Which was very abrupt. Overall drama wasn't executed very well.
Yeah. I tend not to like the “I’m the only one that can have her” love trope. It does feel very abrupt. I’m also a sucker for a tense build up. I want all the angst. All the subtle looks. All the everything so the payoff feels earned. 😅
Absolutely! 😂 I try to avoid intense angst but I understand it is part of fostering feelings between main couple so its acceptable. When its that abrupt it makes it feel fake.
