Hong sisters' male leads are aging backward. I noticed with Tae-kyung and it's even worse here. I was about ready to give up on them when they created one of the most dumb (literally) and dishrag heroines ever in YB, but it appears they've now switched to their heroes. *groan*
When I think that their earlier creations were Hong Gil Dong and that marvelous, rare, mature lead of My Girl...!
I don't like Lee Da Hae at all but I will say she is one of the most gorgeous women alive.
I don't get it - it's like it's all downhill after Hong Gil Dong. We get the well-adjusted, mature, wonderful hero of My Girl (one of the rare kdrama heroes I'd love to date in RL), we have the rebel-with-a-cause who bleeds awesomeness HGD (and he's a good proof you can have humor and even a bit of immaturity and still create an amazing, adult hero). We had Jae Hee's character in DGCH who grew up so wonderfully (but even at the start was about 10x more mature than their recent heroes, even if he was romantically dense). Abd OJH's character in FC wasn't my thing but he was obviously a functioning citizen.
Exactly. I wasn't thrilled at the maturity level in YAB but it was at least concievable that two barely-20 kids would be this way and would, hopefully, eventually grow up. Here, the leads are almost old enough to be YAB characters' parents and they are less mature. That is the opposite of appealing but also stretches the bounds of any credibility (AJ is less extreme of the two but the way she reacts to possibility of a kiss even is the way nobody her age should unless they just escaped from a period drama

LOL... You are so right. Agree i would so not wish to date or wish to marry most of the male leads either except for the lead from My Girl or Dr. Pil Soo.

And then, it's as if something broke. WTF!
