CR: synopsis from Soompi

original post: here

1. The more shocking the story, the less I'm attracted to it..

2. It's a waste for the female actresses too. What's up with the gap in skills?

3. These female actresses will grab the acting by its neck........... none of these male actors know how to act......

4. A loss for the female actresses. How can they be paired up like that?

5. Wow crazy, I want to watch them all

6. I'm looking forward to Disqualified as Human, it will be an acting partyㅋㅋㅋ

7. What's up with these plots....... the casting is also ambiguous

8. There is indeed a lot of couples with a big age gap... I hope that they filmed more romance with people of the same age group

9. Except for Disqualified as Human, all of them will be hard carried by the female lead

10. Not one drama I'm looking forward to...

11. Why are there so many aunt-niece or uncle-niece relationships in dramas nowadays?

12. Is Jang Kiyong's acting good? Anyways, I'm looking forward to it

13. I'm looking forward to Disqualified as Human and Melancholia. At the very least, I've started to like Lee Dohyun because of Sweet Home so...

14. Im Soojung is born in '79??? I didn't know...

15. I find couples with big age gap a bit so-so. Can they just do couples with at most 3-4 years age gap? The male leads here are way too weak. I don't know who half of them are

16. It's because this type of romance sells well

17. Looks like it's the trend
