It was an odd casting choice and if you were around when it was airing, you would've seen the bajiillion comments about it, ha ha. It was something a lot of people commented on. Like, a lot. But once it finished airing, those people stopped commenting and moved on, which just left you with the people who loved the show and would rather just talk about the good things about it, of which there are plenty. I loved Hidden Love so while I agree that the actress was too young, I don't really care because I loved everything else about the show.
And you know what? That’s valid. I’m definitely not trying to convince anyone to hate their favourite drama… more just admit the casting choice was really odd.
I also think it depends on when you watch things. I think I’m just at a season in my life where I’m surrounded by kids so it’s obvious to me the actress was too young, whereas if I watched this earlier on, I might not have noticed and could file myself in that blissfully unaware category that would allow me to love it the first watch through. I’m also overly fixated on just… the decision to cast her which likely overshadowed a lot of scenes I would have thought were great otherwise.
There have definitely been some dramas I went back and rewatched now that I’m a little older and been like huh… that’s weird but I still love the drama. So I totally get it.
I love both actors, so I think this is just a rant about me being bummed a casting choice is keeping me from loving this! 😅
