The male lead is supposed to look much older than the female lead, but he looks so young.

I really love this series. I feel like the male lead is kinder than his usual nature dictates—he is genuinely and deeply in love, to the point of doing things he normally wouldn't do. But I have a small critique: if a man is older and in a superior position, saying he's going to court her doesn't mean he can just sexually harass her like in the drama. It’s bad communication. For instance, even after being rejected, he still tries to kiss her. Knowing where she lives, he just goes there and forces a kiss on her. It's no surprise she rejects him, because she could easily think he only visits when he's horny. Is this really okay?

Even though the female lead kissed him first, that was because she was drunk and she doesn't even remember it. He shouldn't use that to justify to himself that she likes him. Luckily, in the drama, she actually does. Speaking as a woman, even if a woman likes someone, she still needs time to think. They haven't even entered a relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend yet, because a woman wouldn't just date everyone she likes at first sight, right? On the flip side, if she didn't like him, this guy could literally face sexual harassment charges (starting right from when he went to see her at the factory). He acts like he's 18.

As I said, it contradicts the true nature of the male lead, who is a boss at a multinational corporation.

Ultimately, though, he proves himself to be a good enough person—even too good. I like that the female lead refuses to accept what he offers, viewing it as inappropriate to take and just too much. It shows she is a good person. If she had accepted it, he could have gone bankrupt because he probably would have had to take out a loan. Logically, the business must be worth hundreds of millions; holding a 51% stake would mean at least hundreds of millions.
