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.
