I met one of my best friends when I was 19 and he was 27. Nothing romantic just friendship and we're still best friends to this day and I'm 27 and he's 35. No one thought this was weird back then but now people would say that our completely innocent friendship was somehow predatory. It's even worse for romantic relationships with way smaller age gaps. The infantilization of grown adults is so strange.
This comment is for people who are wondering if this lives up to the original (it doesn't), if you're someone who gets all pissy when someone compares adaptations literally go away this comment isn't for you, go cry somewhere else.
I liked the Dal Haejoon relationship change but that's the only improvement in this drama from the original. The writing was infinitely cheesier (fucking soap opera ass villain mother), the whole group didn't feel like a family (especially the lack of brotherly/sisterly connection between Haejoon and Joowon is a crime, they were so fucking cute in the original), but the biggest complaint I have is Jung Chaeyeon. Holy crap she is a bad actress. She is one note with absolutely no depth. She has three expressions, pouting, dead stare, and grinning ear to ear. That's it. Cheery cute female leads that are actually likeable and not annoying/cringey are one of the most difficult characters to portray imo and JCY was terrible. The boys (both the brothers and the dads) were pretty good at their roles (though BHS layed it on a little thick sometimes). Idk man it was alright. If you haven't seen the original then you'll probably really like this. Even for me it was a decent adaptation (considering korean adaptations usually suck). The problem is that it was the relationships between the main five characters that were the heart and focus of the original but here they focused way too much on the dramatic storylines with the mothers.

When I was in my teens and early 20s I never thought people in their mid twenties-early thirties were old and neither did anyone I knew. There's been a cultural shift with tiktok and micro-trends that have been separating people further into these categories.
secret to looking young: being young! stop acting like your 30's is retirement age for clickbait
honestly gen z is so warped with their thinking in regards to aging. They think once you hit 25 you're ancient. I remember when bridgerton came out and everyone was saying how good daphne's actress looked for being 25, like come on now. I'm an old gen z and this shit is so silly to me.
people saying San Ha's mother is the worst but Chen Ting was on another level worse than San Ha's mother for meI…
Chen Ting was heinous but I liked how she was portrayed better. You're so right that Sanha's mom is just a villain. It honestly takes away the emotion for me because it feels so silly.
It's okay so far but I have a couple of gripes. Sanha's mom is like a webtoon villain, it's so cringe. The mom in the original was horrible but the actor and the writing was so much more realistic. Also JCY's pouting is really overkill. She's not so young that she should be pouting to show her emotions in every other scene she's in.
The drama is fine ( though sorry to the people who hate comparisons, but the original is way better) and I'll watch until the end. A decent remake so far, at least for korean remake standards.
It's okay, but the original is definitely better. As far as korean remakes go though, it's definitely not bad. Probably the best remake I've seen so far.
Kids these days wouldn't survive the days of cdramas before the government capped the ep limit. You don't know…
I'm well aware of how many long dramas there used to be. I didn't name the shitty ones that used the episode length to add fillers and make more money. I listed ones that legitimately needed more episodes. The only way for dramas to be that long now is to cut it into multiple seasons.

Of course there are shorter works that can be well done. I wasn't disputing that. I'm saying the government shouldn't play a part in regulating this. Just allowing longer dramas doesn't mean that shorter ones can't exist. But outlawing them is ridiculous.
Also, just because you haven't seen a cdrama of that caliber doesn't mean they don't exist. The Story of Ming Lan, The Longest Day in Chang'an, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, and Nirvana in Fire are examples of some amazingly well done and very long cdramas that absolutely needed their episode counts.

Eh, government regulation when it comes to stuff like this is rarely a good thing. Yeah it stops some greedy showrunners from making wildly long dramas but it also fucks up creativity. Dramas that need the longer episode count like Lost You Forever lost so much momentum from having to split it into two seasons. Dramas like Yanxi Palace and The Story of Ming Lan were super long but legitimately needed the episode count. If they would have cut them down to 40 episodes, the quality of the storytelling would have been ruined.
