Lee Junho, we meet again! 🫰😆

(This naming was also mind boggling in Extraordinary Attorney Woo, but I’ll roll with it.)

Might still watch it though.

This is where I am, I want to see this, but the idea of it being her former student is just ewww, but I too might still watch.

It’s actually much better than I was expecting based on previous things I’d read. This makes it much clearer that 10 years have passed, so the relationship doesn’t really bother me at all as long as it wasn’t romantic back in the day. Lots of people reconnect at different points in their lives and end up developing different kinds of relationships from the ones they had before, so I hope that’s what happened here!

No sign of trouble lately..

Oh wait, you said haunting.

We could still be happy..

Happy that Wi Ha Joon is in a romance yeah!

I immediately registered the style of song with English lyrics and sighed LOUDLY😞

Nah, nope, ani ... 🙉

🧂*throws salt to dispel previous drama ghosts*

Don't even joke like that.

This! I will watch just for this.

I agree that the fact that it is years after the teaching, and plus was a Hagwon and not a normal high school makes a huge difference in the romantic circumstances. Beyond the obvious exploitation of a young person, which makes it a crime when it occurs in high school, what makes a teacher student relationship a huge no-no even in graduate school, where the student might be closer in age to the professor, is the huge imbalance in power. The professor's influence is a key factor in whatever feelings there might be. In a Hagwon, that power imbalance does not exist, especially years after the fact--if anything the tutor's fate is determined by student success.

I agree. My initial reaction with the student thing on very early news was apprehension, but with details later about her being a teacher at an academy, not an actual school, and 10 years having passed since then, makes it not icky at all to me. Also, I love Jung Ryeo Won in everything and I'm excited to see Wi Ha Jun have a lead role with a normal happy ending.

I loved One Spring Night, though I hope the use of the soundtrack is a little less in your face than it was there.

I can't go with you on this rant. The two songs my wife and I always sing at certain key moments in our interactions with each other are "Its driving me crazy, pulling me under" from Law School or more recently "I can see my halo" from Perfect Marriage revenge. They have defused many an argument, let me tell you.
Also, there are so many OST's with phrases in English. I don't mind those at all, in fact it makes them fun to sing along with, because you wait, wait, and the english phrase appears and you sing it.

But I'll tell you what I hate: U.S. pop songs behind kdramas. There are several of these, but the absolute worst was Stand By Your Man, repeated over and over in Something in the Rain. Of course I hate that song anyway, but after just a few episodes of that show, I said, "that's it I can't take it anymore," shut off the sound, and just treated it as if when the actors talked, typed english subtitles came out of their mouth.

He really addressed important themes about Korean society and his characters are not typical, they're far from perfect, but he makes them human and touching.
