IU will be playing the role of an orphaned woman who is severely in debt and exhausted with life, on top of having to care for her sick grandmother. She meets a man in his forties who lives under similar extreme circumstances and the two find a connection of consolation of sorts.

1. [+2,372, -91] So explain to me why an exhausted woman in her twenties has to date a man in his forties...

2. [+2,060, -92] Why are all the female leads like this. Nothing has changed since 10 years ago.

3. [+2,294, -211] A collab between the scriptwriter for 'Oh Hae Young' and the director for 'Misaeng' and 'Signal', damnnn

4. [+2,268, -340] I do admit that IU still lacks what it takes to be a lead. She lacks the experience and the talent to pull off the immense amount of screentime required of a lead and all the emotions that go with it. She needs to work harder is all.

5. [+642, -28] The title already states 'ajusshi' ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ a man in his forties and a woman in her twenties? Isn't that the age difference between a father and his daughter? Can they quit it with these huge age gaps?

6. [+544, -27] Can they change the title? It's such a turn off;; my ajusshi...

7. [+391, -18] Seems it's a must for Korean dramas to have female characters like this...

8. [+373, -17] I don't like the plot... so outdated

9. [+527, -81] Ah... can IU not act and just stick to singing..

1. [+299, -34] Do dramas feel sick if they don't cast idols as leads or something?

2. [+296, -40] Why does she keep acting?

3. [+234, -30] Another obvious plot...

4. [+36, -3] Is IU just going to run with this loli image...? She already went through a whole lolita scandal and now her next drama is 'my ajusshi'.... this is insane

5. [+32, -4] Another fail drama to add to the list... IU, please just stick to singing

6. [+30, -3] Another drama to skip

7. [+28, -3] You would think she'd cut it down after the whole 'Zeze' controversy but her next drama is 'My Ajusshi' ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ she seems to be stuck in the loli disease

8. [+20, -4] As if flopping 'Moon Lovers' wasn't enough.... even though its failure is more attributed to that EXO member than anything with his sh*t acting.

9. [+25, -0] I guess I wasn't the only one who doesn't like IU in dramas ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+23, -3] Is this some loli drama? Pairing a woman in her twenties with a man in his forties?
