You all have no idea how painful it is to have to give this a 4 star. This is such a well made show in almost every aspect. There is one important FLAW I will not over look. The AGE play is so uncomfortable. The moment they play into will they or will they not l have to fight not to turn off the drama. I fear it will be Goblin all over again. The friendship, school, fencing, family, youth, story line is perfection. The main leads story line is also wonderful until the romance is added. I keep hoping they wait till they are 21 and 25 for any of it to happen so l can forgive the writers. Unfortunately by ep 10-12 that is out the window. A high school girl who still has to ask her mother if she can go on a road trip should not be kissing a man who is financially supporting his family and has the mental intelligence to know it is wrong. In the real world girls get SA because of this dynamic and even the show points this out early on. I believe they made sure to point it out because they too know how problematic the relationship is.
I feel like a hypocrite after say all this because l would still recommend people to watch it. Enjoying it doesn't mean l can justify the harmful real world effects.
