One of the annoying things about this drama is how the leads sometimes talk to each other like they’re actors reading off their character’s lines. The writer(s) wrote a draft and did nothing more to it I guess.

Don’t care what others think about this drama. I believe SWEET STRANGER AND ME is a grrrrreat drama! It’s certainly one that I’ll be seeing again and again. There may have been an age difference in the actors but as some special guy once quoted, “age ain’t nothing but a number, baby.” I loved the way everything was settled and how they got ready for the final episode to come to a close, which was the best! I hate when they try to rush the ending. CONGRATULATIONS cast and crew for a job well done!

I’m still watching this drama. And I really love it until now.. I wonder why the rating is declining.. The story line is a little bit unusual, it’s what made this drama interesting. Falling in love with your misterious young stepfather?? Hmmm…that’s why I want to know..

I am trying hard, but, I honestly cannot remember anything about this drama except the cute model was in it and he lived with the lead character’s mother. I doubt if I made it to 8 episodes.
