Article that talks about how viewers have been expressing their anger/criticisms over how the drama is going too extreme with the plotline, especially with Soo Ae's character.

[Spoilers!!!] In the drama, Soo Ae abandons her husband, Kwon Sang Woo, and her daughter to chase after a dream job that she finds out she lost because she didn't return Yunho's feelings.

She decides to follow Yunho and leave Korea when Yunho has to study abroad after an injury that leaves him unable to pursue a sports career. Kwon Sang Woo must then go back to working at a host bar to support the family and let Soo Ae do as she wishes.

Soo Ae lives off of the money Kwon Sang Woo sends her and begins dating Yunho, completely forgetting about her family back home.

When a motherly figure to Kwon Sang Woo falls short on her hospital bills, he calls Soo Ae and asks if she can rest a semester because he doesn't have enough to cover both her tuition and the hospital bill. Soo Ae declines, leading Kwon Sang Woo to sell his body to make more money.

Viewers are calling Soo Ae's character a psychopath and refusing to watch anymore because of the extreme plot.

1. [+494, -14] The story pisses me off, but more than that, Soo Ae and Yunho just don't look like a couple to me at all!! Soo Ae looks like she could be his aunt!

2. [+416, -15] Kwon Sang Woo's acting is still incredible, though

3. [+392, -12] Soo Ae is not the problem. Putting Yunho as Kwon Sang Woo's rival was not the best choice. It's not an issue about who has the better acting, it's just that Yunho doesn't have the weight to pull off a leading role; he's so light. There's such a huge difference between his scenes and Kwon Sang Woo's scenes that it makes it hard to focus.

4. [+363, -1] The only drama to raise the blood pressure level of Korea ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+332, -15] Yunho's scenes seem like a sitcom so it's like I'm watching two different dramas ^0^

6. [+282, -9] Soo Ae just looks way too old for that TVXQ idol... Her hair style is ajumma-ish and she just looks like an aunt to him...

7. [+243, -8] Kwon Sang Woo still manages to pull it off.

8. [+236, -19] It's because the plot is originally from a comic book. I knew that it wouldn't translate on screen.

9. [+227, -12] I'm not a Kwon Sang Woo fan but I think the entire cast except him was miscast. I keep overlapping Soo Ae with her acting in Alzheimers, it's so hard to focus.

10. [+184, -8] I feel so bad for Kwon Sang Woo... I really don't want to watch this drama anymore because of Soo Ae's character

11. [+164, -6] I was pissed off the entire time watching. I feel bad for Kwon Sang Woo because he's just so damn good at his role.

12. [+123, -5] I don't even want to imagine how bad the original plot is if the drama is this bad... I can't watch Yawang anymore, it stresses me out too much.
