Nothing new for JTBC with dramas like Secret Love Affair in the past. There will always be those who don't like…
Oh yes, Secret Love Affair was a masterpiece and a huge success in its time. This drama has an even bigger age gap, so I’m curious to see how audiences will receive it, since I’ve seen mixed reactions since the casting announcement. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing the chemistry between the leads. If they can deliver the same level of depth and chemistry as Secret Love Affair, I think it could turn out to be something really special.
It’s a bit worrying that this drama will be airing on a cable channel like JTBC in Korea, especially after seeing how strongly some Korean audiences reacted to the 30-year age-gap kissing scene in Netflix kdrama “Notes from the Last Row”. I’m also curious to see how the ratings will turn out. These days, I think anything over 10% is considered a success for a cable drama in Korea. Let’s see how it goes.
Me too. I’ve been waiting for her comeback for a long time, but I also feel a little worried about this project.…
The age gap in the drama is around 27 years, so it’s going to be hard to hide that visually. They can’t really make her look much younger or him much older, so the difference will likely be noticeable. For some viewers, that might make certain romantic scenes, like kissing, feel a bit uncomfortable. That said, I think what matters most is the chemistry and how believable the relationship feels. If the acting and storytelling are strong, many people will be able to look past the age gap. I’m still really looking forward to it.
