If you are a fan of Gong Yoo or Gong Hyo Gin purely watch the show for sentimental reasons because although the show boasts of two of the best actors in the Korean industry right now, this is still early on in their careers. Sure they look like the actors you love but they are still honing their skills that have made them so beloved today. Either that or they were given such a weak script that they did the best they could. During the time the show came out they might not have been in a position to pick and choose the roles they liked. They also had bills to pay back in the day. The plot when looked at by western standards is a bit gross with a teacher and student falling in love and I guess the show wanted to promote that love knows no age but I can't get my head around the relationship. It is not the age that gets to me, but the student/teacher relationship. For me a teacher is a sacred profession and is entrusted with nurturing a child's future much like a parent. Think about it, you are as much a product of your upbringing at home as you are of the education you received at school. A teacher replaces your parents during your time in school and to marry your teacher is just YUCK! The one thing that the show has taught me is that no matter how much I may be in love with Gong Yoo I can still watch him objectively wen he is on screen With the exception of Cho Han Gul in Coffee Prince because when ever he is on screen during that show I forget to read the subtitles ;)
