Watching him in the ongoing South Korean drama which is hilarious. I am being very bold here. The cut throat competition in the education system is there. But as a star maths teacher he falls hard for a student’s mother. He provides private tution to the bright student & he gets free meals or meals in exchange.
That is the deal but he starts finding solace in the family. His loneliness disappears & he finds her fascinating. Now, she is the girl’s aunt & not her mother. But why bother? Isn’t a single mother to have feelings for someone?
The real problem is the age of the lead. She is at least 10 years his senior! in real life & she looks that.Yet he has to mention that she looks so young & with a grown daughter! Mr Ji, his assistant also has the same view! Netizens are bothered by it,rightly.
In hisss first show as lead, Jung Kyung ho had Jang Na ra as his love interest. She is 41 but she looked with him. He is 39.
In ‘Hospital Playlist’ he had Kwak Sun young as his love interest who is his age. They made an excellent pair.
In a cameo in ‘Crash landing on You’ he had Son Ye jin who is 41. She doesn’t look a day older than 30 but naturally had eyes only for Hyun bin there.
What is with his heroine’s age? Not in any other drama but the difference is glaring here. On top of it all his soft looks don’t help. Being a player she is swift, confident & more robust.
The show is good so can we overlook the flaws? as fans we can.
