I'll definitely try it. Realistic, well-done slice of life dramas are hard to come by so I really want to like it. Thank you for all of the info :)

Romance is the first tag there so when you see that and then you see the age gap it's extremely off-putting. Like, I do not care about age gaps within the realms of the drama's story and the character's ages at all. That kind of stuff does not bother me when the real life actors are all consenting adults. It just was worrisome seeing that the lead is 17 years old and it looked like romance would be a major focus. It really weirded me out. But if it is as minimal as folks are saying and there isn't any skinship, I'll give it a shot.

I did enjoy this but the 2019 version was so much better. If you're trying to decide on which one to watch, choose the other one.

I mean, she may be great at acting and her character may be very mature but I will still know that the actress is a child and is playing a romance with a middle aged man. IU was a woman in her mid twenties playing a 21 year old, it's quite different. From all of these comments it seems like I would usually love this type of drama, but I won't be able to look past that fact.

There's a romance tag, please tell me it's not between the minor and the middle aged man? I don't mind age gaps, and I know her character is supposed to be an adult, but the actress is still a kid. That would be disturbing to watch.

Heck yeah, I love xianxia. Haven't seen a good one since Love and Redemption.

She is insanely pretty <3

I have such high hopes for this drama. I'm surprised there isn't more buzz for it on here.

The Korean Drama "I Have A Lover" has one of the most infuriating mistresses I've ever seen. It's a makjang and will definitely get your blood boiling lmao.

How was this photo approved? It's not a straightforward shot. The editors who approve these are not consistent at all.

Thank you!

People did complain about those dramas though lmao. If you go back before Count Your Lucky Stars aired the entire comments section was about how disgusting they thought the age gap was. The same thing happened with Dating in the Kitchen too. Also why are you bringing up real people and their real relationships and acting like people should be upset with them? That's so fucking weird for you to compare actual real life people who are married to fictional ones and act like we as fans should have an opinion. That's super fucked up.

I don't find a moral issue with this drama but I dislike age gap dramas where it's so obvious that one person's a lot older so I won't be watching this. But don't act like people are upset because it's an older woman, the outrage happens on both sides.

Dang I wish Lee Yoobi would get a main role again. I like Kim Go Eun a lot too though so I am still excited for this.

Ahhhhhhh I love these leads, I'm so excited :D

It says he's born in 1990, so he would be 31 internationally and 32 in Korea.

Oh god, I didn't mean they shouldn't be offended. I should have worded it differently. Obviously a foreigner has no place to say whether or not they should be offended. I was wondering why their taking offense resulted in an almost complete piece of work not being allowed to air when I've seen many other dramas that stray from historical accuracy and not have this happen. Censorship is never a good thing, I don't think you have to be Korean to recognize that.

Thanks for explaining. I still don't think a piece of fiction/art should be censored because of this though. Cancelling the drama completely instead of just putting a disclaimer like I've seen done on a number of other sageuks is so extreme.

I loved it. I loved the ML and FL so much. The chemistry of all of the couples were fantastic. I only wish it was longer.

Why are they outraged about this? So many dramas have historical inaccuracies but they don't get cancelled when they're 80% done with the production. This is ridiculous.

I really hope these leads get confirmed. I wouldn't have thought to pair them up but I am excited to see them together.
