same, I might not like him as a person but I do think he’s a good actor so I’m down to watch his dramas (if…
For me it’s just a bunch of things that added up over time. The biggest one is the divorce. He reportedly filed in 2019 without telling Song Hye-kyo first, then released an official statement through his lawyer almost immediately, which is pretty unusual for a top actor in Korea. The fact she apparently only found out through the media while she was abroad for work felt really disrespectful, and I just saw it as him trying to control the narrative and make her look like the problem. That already put me off.
Then there was all the stuff about their disagreements over kids. From what came out later, he wanted children straight away while she wanted to focus on her career, and it just felt like he wasn’t willing to compromise. The irony is that he remarried quickly and became a father not long after, which just made it look like impatience rather than bad timing.
On top of that, his 2023 comments about becoming a husband or father meaning you lose work were really out of nowhere, especially when women are the ones who usually take the career hit. He was still one of the highest paid actors at the time, and when you look at actors like Hyun Bin doing fine after marriage and kids, it just sounded like an unnecessary complaint.
I know we’ll never know the full story and this is just my opinion, but all of that combined really put me off him as a person. I can admit he’s a good actor, I just don’t like him off screen.
I watched this drama a long time ago and remember how I absolutely loved it. I was planning to rewatch it but then realized just how long each episode was, 20 episode with roughly 1hr and 35 minutes each...wow. Maybe for another day.
I like mature romance also, is they get together fast or it's slow burn and you mentioned that they don't get…
They do end up together, the only problem I had with this drama was the fact that they didn't get as much screen time as I wanted, but yea it's a happy ending.

Yeah, it’s more like everyone ended up feeling like a main character. The romance itself is very slow burn and mature, but there isn’t really a clear “main couple” by the end because so much focus is spread across different characters. Their scenes are good when they happen, there just aren’t enough of them for the leads to truly feel like the centre of the story.
