I read that older female leads are often paired with younger male leads to attract the large female viewer share but this drama takes it further than I've ever seen before. The FL looks to be about twenty years older than the ML. It strains credulity to pretend this could happen especially given that there is absolutely zero chemistry between them. It's pure older female fantasy fiction. 30 something handsome rich man is going to fall for 50 something women who is neither particularly attractive or well off? She is too old to even bare children for him. How does that even work? Ironically he sees a female therapist who would be a much better and more natural match for him. They look really good together and it leaves the viewer wondering why he doesn't pursue someone like her.

On top of all that there is a muder and police drama subplot out of nowhere. It's like they thought the story was too boring as is and decided to throw in the kitchen sink. Weird weird weird drama.

Last but not least, the lying: To lie about something as serious as having a husband living overseas when in fact the lead has never been married is just too much for a Westerner to comprehend. Lying is used extensively in Kdramas as a lazy plot device leading to misunderstandings but the amount of both very serious black lies and completely unnecessary white lies for the smallest bit of convenience sake leaves this viewer wondering if lying is the norm more than the exception in Korean daily life. I mostly love the characters in Kdramas but the non-stop lying for no good reason always leaves a sour taste. Not giving up on it yet but close.

So now I have watched the entire show and have to change my review to the lowest rating possible. I have never seen such a thing in my life. I ended up just fast forwarding through the last episode. Spoiler Alert!...................The show mixes a light hearted romance with a serial killer story. One minute the show is focused on romance and the next minute the ML's teaching assistant is murdering and kidnapping people (including a main character) and then literally kills himself while the ML helplessly watches. Five minutes later show drops that plot point entirely and none of the characters ever mention or reflect upon it again. We never see the reaction of ML's other assistants to these developments either. The last we see of the guy is him dead on the sidewalk after jumping and never a single mention of it ever again. WTAF! Insane!!! Do not watch! OMG!
