Lazy writing, 2D characters and a lame long love triangle = a waste of time
I'm 99% certain the people who praise the romance and chemistry in this one are blinded by their love for PSJ. Both leads over or under act without hitting the authenticity sweet spot and the relationship circumstances are way less believable than the standard meet cute romcom. I'm a fan of noona dramas but this romance felt flimsy from the start - more love bomb than romcom - and it never got better.Then as soon as the illogical love triangle rears its ugly head the leads did a total 180 - FL goes from self assured to wishy-washy while ML goes from supportive to immature man child. If a story says one thing then expects a viewer to accept something different with no build up just to inject some drama it's frankly not a good story. Don't even get me started on SML, who's a romance road block instead of an actual 3D character.
The plot isn't anything special either - just lies, misunderstandings and miscommunications with some background office drama - so once the romance stalls there's no point sticking around. In retrospect I should have listened to all the comments telling people to skip episodes 8-12 but again: if you have to skip 1/3 of a drama to enjoy a drama it's not a good drama.

Se você está pensando que esse dorama possa ser clichê, você está enganado. Normalmente estamos esperando aquele dorama calmo, com uns beijos no último episódio, algo bem família coreana, mas aí somos surpreendidos, logo no início já rola uns beijos e bastante pegação, claro que depois continuamos sendo enrolados por muitos episódios, mas a química dos protagonistas é tão boa que você esquece de tudo e fica satisfeita. O que eu mais gostei nesse drama é que ninguém recriminou a Ban Ji Yeon de namorar um cara mais novo, o que acontece em vários dramas, os pais de ambos protagonistas foram uns amores. O casal de amigos da Ji Yeon foram uma graça a parte, sempre levando humor. Soo Cheo, amigo do nosso protagonista, foi o personagem responsável por boa parte do humor da história, tinha horas que achava que ele gostava do Dong Ha mais do que um amigo, (hahaha) um dos melhores bromance. É realmente impressionante ver como o Hyun Min consegue fazer personagens completamente diferentes e se encaixar em todos eles.
Yoon Dong Ha, nosso protagonista, com apenas 25 anos demonstrou ser uma pessoa responsável e madura apesar da pouca idade. Ele é aquele homem perfeito que toda brasileira quer: trabalhador, honesto, maduro, responsável, fiel, amigo, romântico e com o bônus de ser bonito e rico, ou seja, perfeito. O personagem e a atuação extraordinária do ator, me deixou apaixonada por Park Seo Joon (se vier ao Brasil estamos aê!) e ele, sem dúvidas, foi o motivo de ter retornado a assistir o drama. O final como já era de se esperar não foi lá grandes coisas, mas foi bonito. Super recomendo o drama.

Perfect nona romance at least for me
the story is very light, soft & smooth
very lovely one
especially Park seo joon i fall for him definitely at this show
i really got sad for both men main leads but i was definitely Biased towards park seo :*
the only thing that really bothered me so was (Uhm Jung Hwa)
from my opinion she doesn't fit the role
she looked older than 39 as if she was his mom not just nona
she ruined her face by the plastic surgery
she appears older than her real age
this drama needs someone like (Gong Hyo Jin) or (kim So Yeon)
they were going to be brilliant & fit with the right age & place
the positive thing at this drama although i felt it didn't has much events but definitely not boring it's smooth & u forget the time while watching & u suddenly reached the end
i didn't like the odd joking between park seo & Yoon Hyun it was really v.weird & unnecessary at all like the sexual part when yoon hyun opened his robe to park seo
sometimes i felt yoon hyun acting as if they were couple
SPOILER
AS USUAL
the HUGE weak point at most of KD ( THE END ) ....
the most thing i hate after sad endings ... OPEN ones
as if the writer says : just put the one u love (HELL)
i love clear endings :(
& sometimes i found park seo attitude & the face expression towards marring uhm jung was strange as if this idea didn't cross his mind

I had seen him in Kill me, heal me and fallen in love with him, and I was ready for a deeper crush. Needless to say that I ended up head over heels in love with him even more.
He steals the show for me: he's cute, he's intense, he's fresh... He can make you blush with a gaze or a smile, or break your heart when he cries.
I read somewhere that there was something about him that reminded of a younger Gong Yoo, and I agree. They're both so natural in front of the camera, so endearing and adorable that you wish their characters were real and you could meet them... or date them.
Even my age range is closer to Uhm Jung Hwa's character, so I understand her completely.
She was the other reason why I watched this. I like her as an actress: she's sexy, she has charisma and she's an icon in the Korean entertainment industry. I prefer her in more badass roles, but OK.
Yang Hee Kyung was fantastic as Uhm Jung Hwa's mom, and I loved Yoon Hyun Min's character, his sassiness, his flowery suits and polka dot shirts. And the cartoonesque sound effects when he poses were funny.
As for the rest, well it's a noona romance and I like noona romances, but the story was above all saved by both main performances. It's not just about the attraction and the age gap, but all the personal things they have to get over with before their romance flourishes. That part was pretty good.
I could have done with a little too much cheesiness, in my opinion, but fortunately that was only in a few episodes.
Summing up, I didn't end up being a huge fan of this, but it was nice watching it.

Campy
This was another show I started watching hoping for lighthearted romantic comedy but found the FL to be unwatchable. I had not seen this actress in anything before and will avoid anything with her in the future. Her acting is terrible, she just annoyed me because she overacted and used too much physical comedy to try to make up for her bad acting skills. Park Seo-Joon cannot save this show for me. I really just want a show that has some lighthearted romantic comedy - easy on the drama, light on the physical campy comedy, pretty people.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Couldn’t Finish First Eoisode
Such a difference in production quality, pacing and storyline from 8 years ago to today. I wanted to watch this series because it had a young Park Seo-Jun, and it had some tempting clips on youtube. But the first episode had the longest slowest and boring bike ride (pacing!). Sorry, I couldn’t finish it.I was hesitant to start watching K-Dramas at first but they have improved so much in the last decade. I feel the current dramas are better than even US TV. Now I am addicted.
Better use of my time to rewatch Itaewon Class or What’s Wrong with Secretary Woo.
