Love has no bounds, especially on a Korean romance drama. It has been announced that actor Yoo Ah In and actress Kim Hee Ae will act as lovers on the upcoming JTBC drama, “Secret Love Affair” (working title).
However, the most eye catching aspect of this drama is that the two lovers will play characters who are 20 years apart. “Secret Love Affair” follows the forbidden love of a composed woman in her 40s and a youthful man in his 20s.
Yoo Ah In will play a piano genius Lee Sun Jae. Despite his great talent and youthful spirit, the 20-something-year-old pianist will fall in love with a 40-something-year-old Oh Hye Won, played by Kim Hee Ae. Contrasting from Lee Sun Jae, Oh Hye Won is a calm, polished beauty who works as the planning leader at Seo Han Arts Foundation. She is known for her polite and behaved personality, as well as her excellent organizational skills.
Despite being busy assisting her boss in hiding secret documents, and simply being an outstanding worker, Oh Hye Won finds herself falling deeply in love with a man 20 years younger. The unpredictable love affair between two secret lovers is one to anticipate.
Most notably, Kim Hee Ae, who starred in tvN’s “Nunas over Flower,” will challenge a role that goes against her well known image as a calm and polished mother.
“Secret Love Affair” will start broadcasting in March on JTBC.
Soompi, naver

They looked great together
I really liked the Ryoko's character -Sakura- and the friendship between her and her best friends and was great.
The last two or three episodes were at times infuriating. And I hate the character Tachibana--his storyline developement was so unnecessary --

Date: 2014-01-08 04:04 pm (UTC)I may watch it because they do look cute together but I have to admit that huge age gaps when one of the two is under 25 makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. I mean, I feel creepy when I find people under 23-24 hot/attractive and I'm in my late 20s so imagine if I had 40 :/

Date: 2014-01-08 07:33 pm (UTC)The premise of the show really does address the age gap well. Plus the circumstances for them getting together is also well done.

Date: 2014-01-08 08:05 pm (UTC)I'll probably watch it because Miura is one of my favorite actors but I still feel kinda uncomfortable with the age gap ngl. I mean, if she was at least in her early 30s it wouldn't be that exaggerated but she's nearly 40 so that's almost a 2 0 y/o gap. At least is not like Risou no Musuko where there wasn't only a huge ass age difference (the boy was 18 and the mother was 42) but heavy hints of incest :/.

Date: 2014-01-08 11:31 am (UTC)HERE FOR THIS.
Date: 2014-01-08 11:52 am (UTC)Kinda ot: I'm thinking of watching I need Romance 3 (also seems to be noona-centric, plus a rip of my fav noona drama: Foxy Lady), but I haven't seen the first 2 (my watch-later list is ridiculous). Should I marathon the franchise o just focus on season 3???
Re: HERE FOR THIS.
Date: 2014-01-08 12:08 pm (UTC)uhhh you don't have to but if you have time before next week, sure, go for it. idk i think the first two seasons were flawed and i'm hoping this one will be a mash up of what was great about the first two and we'll leave the shitty stuff behind. the first two had a very similar set up, while this one seems like a mash up between dal ja's spring and what's up fox (basically my two fave noona romances).
Re: HERE FOR THIS.
Date: 2014-01-08 10:06 pm (UTC)Great. Now I'm totally super EXCITED AND OBLIGATED TO WATCH!

Date: 2014-01-09 01:43 am (UTC)JTBC releases solid dramas (my fave being Padam, Padam) and I heard good things from this team about A Wife's Credentials. I should go watch that, I am always hearing rave reviews. The cast and premise already seem great and just something to get into. And honestly, who can't see Yoo Ah In romancing the pants off an older woman? LBR, here.
