I've been counting down since yesterday!!

Just bring it on!

PD Ahn Pan-seok is always a draw for me, too. Jung Ryeo said she accepted the role before reading the script because of Ahn Pan-seok. 😃The same is true with Son Ye-jin before SITR. It's nice to have a PD that women want to work with; there is always laughter behind the scenes.

I'm in love with the leads before the show even started. Jung Ryeo-won hasn't aged much since "Kim Sam-soon," I'm happy to see Wie Ha-joon in an adult romance.
I spotted 5 or 6 of PD Ahn's regulars. That unbearable mother from SITR is back again. Hopefully, she is likable here. LOL

Honestly? I'm dragging my feet on this one. Ahn Pan-soek is hit and miss for me. He won Baeksang's for Secret Affair 2014 and Heard It Through the Grapevine 2015, which were intelligent and nuanced, but the last two he did...not so much for me...especially Something in the Rain. I'm also not a fan of the lead actress...so chalk it up to different tastes I guess...AND I'm also feeling a bit jaded about noona romances lately, so I'll respectfully move on, unless of course it's a record-breaker. It's already been so difficult to keep up with all the new ones flying in lately that I'm hedging my bets.

I am looking forward to this one but will I am also fully prepared to walk early to save myself. I hope I don’t need to watch some scenes on mute to avoid an weirdly chosen extra loud OST.

Is it alright to pretend to be mildly curious while casting glances at the countdown timer every two minutes. Yeah so not a fan of the ML character's name but then what's in a name. Also so very excited to have Wie Ha-joon as a swoony ML.

I'm excited for Wie Ha-joon's first ML and romance drama! The only time I see his character in love was in Bad and Crazy (his K is crazily in love with fellow police Gyeom) 😂

So excited for this one! I love the actors and I think PD Ahn Pan-seok will make sure we will love the rest of the story too! Best of all, its on Viki!

Definitely on my Viki watchlist!

Haha, cute with the chalkboard prop!
Been interested in this drama and now it's finally here!
I haven't seen any of PD Ahn Pan Seok's dramas so I'm definitely hyped about that as well as seeing the leads.

Wie Ha Joon as romantic lead? Count me in 😁!

I was quite rapt through this first episode. I really like Jung Ryeo Won- and I liked her a lot in this too- she always brings a layer of vulnerability into her roles, even when she plays a headstrong woman. I don't remember Wi Ha Joon in anything before this, but there's something extremely charming about him.

It was way tenser than I thought it'd be- the power struggle between the school teacher and the private tutor had me holding my breath. I hate the over-ambitious moms - so much stress over 1 wrong question!! I feel so bad that whole generations are losing their childhood to this overarching need to succeed down one path only.

I'm guessing the MLs parents will be the spoke in the wheel... That mom staying up to see her adult son back home just brings back the worst memories of when I'd shifted home for a bit after being away at college for so long, and yet had to become answerable for my time again to my own mother!

It's turning out to be more than just a romance, but maybe a critique of the whole education system, and I appreciate that. If any of you watch/ or would like to watch an Indian film around the same theme of tutoring and just a need to succeed over unimaginable hurdles, please check out one called 12th Fail. It's a lovely but hard-hitting film, and the actors did a fine job.

Public service announcement begins:

For Beanies in Asia - this is showing on Viu.

Public service announcement over.

PD Ahn Pan-seok is a good reason to watch a drama! It's never only a romance but a very realistic commentary on Korean society. I like how he choeses not perfect FL as a center of the story.
