The Rumors are so Subjective, grow up !

First of all I have to address the reviews stating it is racist, too much of an age gap and very inappropriate.
That is all bullshit - Racist? - where? just because Han Dal Shik dresses looks like that doesn't mean he is actually racist critics forget his webcomic he is producing is called - Her reggae boy which coincidentally is related to Jamaica hence he dresses like that, its kind of an ode to his work. Second- Age gap? My god did you forget how much of an age gap was for My love from your star?( I know that was an absolute masterpiece but god be damned I fell in love with a thousand year old man) and now you guys hating on this? remember the setting : Convenience Store owner and a part timer they are able to work now so that critic goes straight to the trash now and it being very inappropriate - man dont be so quick to judge dont hate on something as soon as you see it.

Now the Story was good had me feeling all kinds of emotions after each episode, Acting? very convincing Yoo-Jung was perfect for the role and if i had to put any male actor to play Mr. Choi nothing would top my list than Ji- Chang Wook both of them were made for it, Production was very good never thought anything was out of place and ever since episode 2 where an underage posing as a Uni student got caught man I was suspicious of every transition scene praying nothing like that happens again and OST my god it is so memorable, Kang Daniel did a fantastic Job from now on every love scene i see I'm going to be singing "Something' instead. Love the added touch of the over the top Visual of Saet-byul fighting making it very convincing her emotions.

Overall a very Light Hearted story, I recommend you to start watching it without expectations because this is a Rom- Com you can expect to express every emotion you can possible feel once you start investing your time watching it, very convincing cast, OST is something to remember and the over the top fighting scenes was a good laugh and I am just going to leave this here but damn is Kim Yoo-Jung's visuals is no joke, she actually captivated my heart and made me feel like how I felt when I first fell in love and her acting well no need for me to add to the endless amount of praise she has received from her work but man did she convince me that no one else but HER could have perfected this role and Ji- Chang Wook well what can I say except there is a reason People are heads over heals over this guy I mean his acting skills are top notch and boy both of the leads could not have been played any better than these 2.
