1. [+2,068, -263] I was disgusted the whole time. What a trash drama!
2. [+2,033, -247] That’s one vote from me on hoping the drama tanks!
3. [+1,099, -55] Noise marketing?
4. [+147, -21] Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung really don’t have an eye for dramas..
5. [+147, -36] To be honest kissing scenes between a minor and an adult is just wrong. I don’t even know if this is supposed to be a family drama or R rated movie..
6. [+117, -15] Yoo Jung-ah, why would you film this? ㅠㅠ
7. [+101, -25] This is a remake of an adult webtoon. If he’s really being faithful to the original he should’ve made her 19 yrs old. But since he made her 15 in the drama he should’ve taken out the explicit stuff..
8. [+98, -13] I guess this is his daily life that’s why he thinks its okay ㅋㅋㅋ ㅎ
9. [+85, -15] They’re crazy ㅋㅋ to put something like that on public broadcast let alone making it available on cable..who would want to watch that?
10. [+78, -15] Is he crazy having a young girl smoke in a family drama? I’m afraid kids will learn to smoke, kiss, and do prostitution from dirty scenes like that.
