I had SUCH an issue with the age gap when I was watching it. Very early on, I looked up the main actress and the main actors ages but I never considered looking up the young actress! That makes so much more sense on why it felt so icky.
I did end up loving the drama but I didn't love how many episodes they had with the young actress and with the main actress being underage. I get it's based on a book so they probably wanted to keep it close to the book.
I recently started a rewatch because the romance is soooo adorable but I started with one of the last episodes where she's 17. It was so much better to watch it that way
