As a Noona-Dongsaeng lover, this is considered one of the highly anticipated dramas on my list. When it started, I was obsessed with it and even joined forums to discuss about the setting, environment, character personalities with it.

It's not a production like You Who Came From The Stars so naturally there weren't a lot of blogs recapping or reviewing about a controversial drama such as Secret Love Affair because our OTP are 20 years apart - a 40-year-old music college director Oh Hye Won & a 20-year-old piano prodigy Lee Sun Jae that she mentors.

Initially, I thought their 'forbidden relationship' was quite interesting as I wanted to see how the production address affairs because their connection when they play piano together is genuine and I could see the budding attraction. I was quite shocked when they had their first kiss at episode 3!

This kiss was quite hot to be honest...


The show subsequently showcase their vast difference in lifestyle & status but I got bored with the lady because of her position in the show and the different bosses she has a answer too. She basically has a very mentally stressful & tiring life that drains most of her energy away.

She basically has 4 'bosses' above her:

1. The owner of the music school - 70 year old Chairman Seo - who's an old playboy who paid for her music education cos of her talent. He knows he has a troubled daughter and a jealous second-wife and would asked Hye Won to watch them for him. 一个自以为每个人都得听他的的老男人。

2. The crazy bitch daughter of Chairman Seo - who's a playgirl like her father who's already married but still likes to fool around with young hunks/models boyfriends and basically get wasted all the time and loves slapping Hye Won because she feels Hye Won is very 假正经. She always encourage her to get an affair too since Hye Won's husband is so boring. 一个神经质又幻想症的情绪化的女人。

3. The second wife of CEO Seo - she's a sly lady who basically used Hye Won to make sure Chairman Seo won't fool around and make sure his assets will be retained for her etc 一个不想认老或丑的没有安全感的老女人。

4. Hye Won's incompetent & selfish husband who only cares about his own success & recognition. He fails as a man and as a husband. He basically always shun at the first sign of danger and use his wife as a shield and leave a lot of mess for his wife to clean up.  一个完全无能的丈夫而只会躲在老婆背后的窝囊的男人。

Her life is basically too damn miserable that I couldn't bear to watch. And I don't think realistically being with a 20 year-old boy is going to change anything.

It was actually too draining for me to watch her living in misery, pain, agony everyday and basically doing more wrong by fooling around with this kid... and so I dropped at episode 8 or 9....

For those of you who managed to complete this show, please enlighten me by filling me with the rest of the ending lol :P
