Ditsy Cradle Snatching Woman Falls for 18 Year Old Pretending to be her Boss
Yep folks, that's what this show is all about. Some guy pretends to be his elder brother and seems to be able to navigate between working at a company and going to high school and no-one wonders how he is able to manage either without doing bad at both. This show is beyond ridiculous and the whole premise is outrageous. The young guy falls for a contract employee whom he makes his secretary. He is 18 and she is 28 and the employee's sister is in love with him (they go to the same high school together). So not only does the FL go for a teenager, she also takes the guy whom her sister likes and does not seem to give a toss.
I don't know the moral standards of the writers but in the world I live in a 28 year old woman going after an 18 year old in High School be he Seo In Guk or some other popular actor is not very appropriate or acceptable. Plus, this child has not even had his brain develop into an adult (go read a biology text book if you doubt me).
The character played by Lee Soo-Hyuk and his background story was the most interesting and it was his performance that grabbed by attention and made me want to watch the show. I did feel for the misfortunes of the character Jung Soo Young (played by Lee Ha Na) but she was so unreal that she was practically comical instead of drawing on your empathy for her I would have liked to have seen the story evolve between these two characters - watch them grow and develop for the better - but the writers wanted the FL with a child. So if you're into love stories where older women go after children, this drama is perfect for you.
Addendum: May I add the show promotes sexual harassment as love and gives horrific examples of what the writers deem as love but are instead complete violations of the boss-employee relationship. We have an 18 year old forcing a kiss on the FL which she accepts without protest, and then he harasses her to like him which they call romance.
