Do you guys like noona romances?

no. I actively avoid noona romance if it is a short series. these are the main tropes I have seen and they annoy me so much....

#1 -- the lady is super immature twat who hasn't got her life together. so she goes for a younger guy because her peers aren't interested. she then gets frustrated that he is not mature till she realizes that she isn't any better. 

#2 -- the pseudo mom. he is supposed to be more mature for his age but really he is more like a kid. and she moves into mothering type role. yea, that sounds really romantic. face palm

#3 -- the lady is domineering personality and therefore no one wants to be around her except the jolly immature kid.

 

essentially the lady is a loser and she comes down to younger guy because she can't do better -- that is the implied message

 

the only sensible noona romances I can think were in the weekend dramas where they were one of the couples. one had happy ending and other realistic ending

 

#1 -- guy is his in 30s and she is in her 40s. his father owns the publishing company and guy is the lazy entitled son who doesn't have his life together. the lady is one of the top execs in the company and he has always known her. they have a drunken one night stand where she gets pregnant. she decides to keep the baby because this is her only chance of children and shows up unannounced at his house. the father has enough of the son's shenanigans and makes him into the housekeeper and cook to learn responsibilities. initially he is awful but eventually he starts to take pride. in the end, he realizes that he is just not cut out for corporate life and he is more happy to take a backseat to his wife who is ready to lead the company. while it was a 10 year age gap, the personalities meshed. so their pairing made sense. 

 

#2 -- guy is mid-20s and she is in her 40s. she is coming out of a divorce and is technically related to him through marriage of one of his brothers. the relationship would be something like aunt. so the family all have meltdowns when they find out these two are attracted to each other and kind of started dating. there is the age gap as well as the family relation. in the end, they break up not because of the opposition but because they realize that they are at different stages of life and they can't break that gap. he is trying to figure out his life and career while she is looking at middle age and what she would like to accomplish by herself. so that realization makes them say a mature goodbye and they leave it at that.

This is one long analysis on noona romances, sweetie! Please visit the Noona Romance event thread that is going to appear soon on the forum and post the same thing there.

But sweeetieeeee, there were noona romances in other than weekend dramas that were pretty sensible as well. Let me list them here:

 

Secret Love Affair - kid is pretty smart for his age, and she is married and can't help her feelings

Witch's Romance - kid was all the time the more mature of them two

 

Started watching Dal Ja's Spring from 2007 yesterday, and I have to say that the main couple so far are pretty much equally mature and equally immature. I actually like Dal Ja's character because she communicates very openly with him about everything and doesn't assume things and make them bigger than they are.

 

After 3 episodes I have to say that I am actually surprised at how interesting the characters, the dynamics and the plot line is. This is the type of drama that kdramas were back in the day. They have totally lost the mojo they used to have.

 

I also miss Chae Rim. She is a nice actress. Young Lee Min Ki looks so cute. lol

@larus @rocher22 @joccu @Ameera Ali @sweetroad @Dhakra Have you been to Sofia? Am interested in that city. How is it? Saw some nice pics of it.

 

 

Also a possibility to go hiking not far away.

 

Even @agenth was impressed by the pics despite being from Austria with an easy access to the Alps.

Fast and Furious wannabes... and then at least 4 who missed where they're supposed to turn and were backing up at the highway. 😑 

 

Normally we won't be out during holidays unless we need to after years of seeing the craziest and dangerous driving. We were invited for breakfast though by very close friends so we were travelling to the next emirate early this morning.

Concert version was way more hilarious. They had full skeleton and stuffed bird props. Thumbs up too that they were wearing the same outfits in the MV.

No, I haven`t been to Bulgaria despite being our neighbors. I think you should go to Sofia. Why not?

Never been, though we have friends there! Let us know how it is if you go.

 

Haven't been on the forum in a few days due to being swamped at work. I guess Team Add won a few days ago and Team Subtract is on the move?

Sofia was bulgaria, right? No, I haven't been there yet. Not many Kpop concerts take place in bulgaria, which is the main reason why I travel to foreign european countries most of the time. 

I think the closest I was to bulgaria was Budapest. But after studying the map I realize how far away Budapest is from Sofia hahaha. 

 

I recently went to Prague again, Prague is such a beautiful city.
