Recently, Internet users have been outraged by an “outdated” and even “embarrassing” script.

I don’t think you should be here. I’ll start having bad thoughts about things I shouldn’t be doing. Thoughts that are vulgar and low class. These kinds of garbage thoughts…

—Choi Seung-hyo

But I like junk food, so it’s normal to have these thoughts.

— Baek Seok-ryu

And what about bad deeds?

—Choi Seung-hyo

It’s okay to do them too.

— Baek Seok-ryu

Netizens expressed in the comments how the dialogue was so outdated that it had become comical and sounded more like something from the early 2000s. Netizens noted that insisting that physical contact is “cheap” and “low class” is an outdated sentiment.

  • “Oh, seriously, this is hilarious, lol.”
  • “What’s going on, lol?”
  • “The female lead’s jokes are even funnier, lol.”
  • “It looks like something out of a novel I read 10 years ago.”
  • “Lol, no, 20 years ago.”
  • “Lol, this is really funny, haha.”
  • “It’s just funny, lol. I have no expectations for this drama.”
  • “I only watch it because the main character is cute.”
  • “Oh, seeing him like this is even funnier.”

Many netizens also felt that the dialogue doesn’t make sense for the characters’ ages. One netizen wrote: “I mean, if the main characters were college students or in their 20s, maybe I would understand… but they’re both in their 30s and the female lead even had a boyfriend she was thinking about marrying, so why are they like this? Lol.”

However, this did not affect the actors’ chemistry! Read more below.
