Not really. In the show they are both close to the same age.

When Uhm Jung Hwa finally transforms she is breathtaking. Song Seung Heon is studding and I am sure the fangirls are all with elevated blood pressure. The young versions of the main characters have been less important in later episodes but Jang Da A was noteworthy. I feel bad for Lee El - it requires some fortitude to take on her role, where you are always dressed so you look a little "off" and less flattering even though theoretically your wearing expensive tailored clothing. She is doing a great job in her role as did the actress who played her younger self.

I think the show took a little bit of time to really get some steam under it. That they have to wrap up everything in 2 episodes has me a bit worried they will truly satisfactorily conclude the storylines without it being to rushed.

This show is hitting it out of the park. Yoon A is fantastic. The worries about the Lee Chai Min are all evaporated as he is delivering a very convincing performance. The supporting characters are revealing many little delights such as Gil Geum and the actress playing the role of the Royal Food Testor . It is no wonder it is already the most viewed show this year in Korea and set a new record for the time to reach 100 million views for a non-english show on Netflix.

The show has a good shot of reaching the top 10 all time viewership for a limited series drama and possibly even squeak into the top 6.

Yoon A apparently spent 3 months undergoing some intensive cooking training prior to commencing filming and that attention to detail is showing.

The question now: did they film an alternate ending to allow for a Season 2? I saw that question being asked in the Reddit threads and I am curious as well.

I am enjoying this show but I confess as I am watching it in Korean with english subtitles I found some parts particularly in the first 3 episodes confusing. The amount of flashbacks with so many different characters has been an interesting challenge to track properly. I think it was not until episode 3 that I understood that Je Yeon was a "manager" for Tae Rin vs just being her friend. And the family dynamics on Sunwoo Hae's side of matters still have me a bit perplexed.

I don't know any of the actors other than Lee Joo Myoung whom I know from the excellent Like Flowers In Sand and she looks so different here: I had no idea she was so beautiful as the two parts are completely different.

Anyways, going to stick with it. I was surprised at how Episode 4 ended as I did not think certain "matters" would be moved along that quickly.

That is the truth of it. On these female dominated social sites the claws and jealousy are aweful.

I think she is doing fantastic and giving us many different looks. It is to bad that popular actresses such as Park Min Young get so much hate from the jealous fangirls. Park Hee Soon is also delivering a great performance.

Both female leads are killing it. It is good that they cast a plain woman in one of the lead roles as it greatly adds to the believability and helps offset the fact the other lead is distractingly attractive and not likely would we find such a person working in this type of menial work.

I hear you. Love Triangle trope is lazy writing and unnecessary. It and the lack of communication trope are the low points of kdrama.
