Maybe casting was on a drinking binge when they picked all these actors of the wrong ages to the characters out.
I just don't know. Hope they do not ruin it.

Lol the only way this can work out is if it's all one big joke. There's no way I'll take this in if the show is not a satire and the production crew is taking it seriously, because if you're going to be serious, don't go for such a weird, incompatible cast

I probably won't resist watching ep 1 to see just how bad this is, but my expectations are below zero.

So....Kim Sae Ron is really going to star in this? Are the production crew/casting crew blind?! Clueless? I have no problem with Kim Sae Ron----she's a great actress, but she is way too young to star opposite Yoon Shi Yoon. I can understand if she was over 18 and there was a 13 year difference, but she's just a baby! I will be tuning out. It's too cringeworthy to think about unless these two won't have a love line together.

If she gonna play Sae Ron's mom then Sae Ron is not misscast. It's Shi Yoon that misscast... They should switch Shi Yoon with Sungjae, that's gonna be age appropriate for both dramas. Sungjae is too young for his drama and Shi Yoon is too old for his drama...

I think the story sounds interesting, but the casting is really off-putting.

The period just gives an excuse to put an underage girl with a grown man. It normalizes what shouldn't be normalized. It's irrelevant to me that it may be a cultural thing and that some cultures are still accepting of it. At a minimum, it seems exploitive, but mostly it just seems pervy.

Then again, seeing as how SK favorite thing to do is throw some school uniform on a group of not-legal, barely-legal, and grown women and have them entertain grown-ass men, can't say I'm surprised.

Seems like Jang Hee-jin's acting career has finally taken off.

She kinda disappeared off the radar after being a regular guest on X-Man (did a film or other project here and there); while not an extrovert, she really had a great laugh (would snap her head back and laugh really hard at Haha's antics).

People keep saying that in those days,marrying with such an age diffence as this was normal as a justification and set in this time period,I agree. Hell, it still happens in some villages(even in the cities too,less common though) in my country. But,as pogo said above,the age difference is in our present times,between the actors playing the characters and not the characters themselves and puts it a whole other level. Its not like its within the drama's premise(that we know of) and we don't know if the script will acknowlege such differences(highly doubtful). I much suspect they'd like us all to ignore the giant pink elephant in the room and thats NOT OKAY! Since korea often infantalizes its women its not like they couldnt get a 20something year old actress(at the least,not a minor) to act a teenager if the script demanded such. This may be jumping to conclusion but its to be expected and with what we know so far,seems like an excuse for pervy hands(and minds) to prevail. Shikenan!!!
