I really can’t understand some people complaining about Something in The Rain (Pretty Noona) being overly sweet and having too many kissing scenes (???), aren’t we watching a ROMANTIC drama? i mean, maybe the content might feel a bit mature for some people, but i would think the title is a dead giveaway of how the drama and the romance are going to be portrayed.

    I mean, if that’s not your deal, just don’t watch it!

    Honestly I find it to be a really nice change of pace from overly chaste dramas.

    I stop watch it since episode 1. I found it’s not my drama. But I’m still salty about USD 8 that I’ve paid for Netflix subscription 😄
    After watching My Ahjussi I become more upset with Pretty Noona, I just didn’t go anywhere and write my complain. I’m a middle age myself (35), I wonder why kdrama filmmakers can write a profound realistic drama about average middle age men, but they sell romance dream to middle age women.

      Depending on your region, you could use your Netflix subscription to watch LIVE. It has the best part for a middle aged woman I’ve seen in a long time. V realistic and kick-ass.

        Yes, there’s LIVE in my region. I’m planning to start it this week after reading many good reviews from beanies. Thanks!

    There are some Beanies who aren’t into dramas that depict too much of the sexy. They prefer the chaste stuff in your typical k-drama as opposed to the hyper-sexualization in Western dramas. Some have cited that as a reason for moving away from Western dramas and gravitating towards K-Dramas–but that’s a discussion for another day. I personally love it–once it’s not gratuitous that is. It adds to the tone and setting of the drama. I actually kinda wish this drama had better kiss scenes though. But then again, I was recently blown away/spoiled, so very little can compare now.
