Love beyond age
Yoon Dong Ha is the perfect man. I loved every bit of his personality, he was absolutely charming and lovely. Ban Ji Yeon showed an incredible character development without losing herself, which is something that we don't see much in kdramas. Their chemistry was amazing throughout the whole drama, not one single bit of their interactions felt forced or anything similar. It's truly a beautiful romance.
I loved Yong Young Shik so much! Even though he was only a side character, you could even see some character improvement on him in the way he stopped being a player for Jung Eun Chae and was all mature after meeting the right girl. Eun Chae as well became more confident in her profession and personality, so we love to see side characters bettering themselves despite not having anything to provide to the entire plot.
The romance between Ji Yeon's mom and the director was absolutely lovely. I knew since they started seeing each other that I would love all their interactions and so I did. It showed that no matter your age, you can still fall in love. It's never too late!
The office workers are something different, though. I hated every person in that office except the new assistant from Guhje Island. He was the only bearable person (besides Eun Chae, which I didn't dig at the beginning anyway, and obviously the "sexy" director). The kind of made up the annoying personality of Team Leader Byung by explaining us why he hated Ji Yeon so much and suddenly showing that he was actually competent to be Editor Chief and I kind of approved it, but his persona was the most annoying thing in the entire drama, plus Oh Jin Ri. Their acting was so off that I couldn't stand any part where they came on screen. Same with Young Shik. He only cried "팀장님" the entire time and was absolutely useless.
Now, regarding Noh Shi Hoon. I'm on the hating side. The actor is absolutely handsome and I like him, but I couldn't stand the selfishness of the character. Even his excuses sounded like bullsh*t to me. He got injured after trying to make it to the wedding? Well, it's not like he was in a comma for 6 years. He could've contacted her so many times, but he only did it at that time because it was a coincidence. It's not even like he actually went there for her.
But of course, with no ex-lover to come and wreck the main character's emotions, the drama would've made no sense, etc. But still, I hated his guts and the fact that Ji Yeon cried multiple times every single episode ever since he showed up annoyed me so much. At some point I ended skipping 3-4 scenes were she just cried alone holding whatever on her chest with no good to the plot.
But these two things aside, this drama is such a lovely noona love (I'd say my top 3) and it made me have so many emotions and I enjoyed it a lot, and also absolutely loved Park Seo Joon's OST.
I was hesitant to watch this during 6 years because I didn't really like the actress but I'm glad I eventually made my mind for it and watched it, so I will definitely give it 9.5 and totally recommend it.
