The difference in background, a third-generation chaebol heir and the son of a village head, leads to the familiar appeal of a class-gap romance, but what sets this work apart is that it starts not from the thrill of courtship but from a crisis after the two are already married. It is structured so that the weight of conflict and reconciliation builds up differently from the dating stage. The setup that Hong Hae-in and Baek Hyeon-woo come from different worlds can serve both as a cause of conflict and as a clue to understanding each other. The cast includes Kim Su-hyeon, Kim Ji-won, Park Seong-hun, Kwak Dong-yeon, and Lee Ju-bin, and watching it alongside 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia', in which Kim Ji-won appears, and 'Love in the Moonlight', in which Kwak Dong-yeon appears, lets you compare the actors in their other works.
It is available on TVING with a subscription, and you can watch it from March 7, 2024. The running time is 77 minutes and the age rating is 15 and over. Following the emotional changes between the couple in episode order suits this work well.
