Seriously....
It's a good thing I ignored the Overall MDL rating of 7.7 for this drama as I typically rollover dramas rated less than 8.0. If it features an actor I particularly like, I'll swing down to 7.9, maybe 7.8.
Just finished binge watching this drama (as in zero sleep last night) and I'm so emotional now. I have a new addition to my Top 15 List.
Anyone who downgraded this drama soley based on reading the synopsis and/or didn't watch past the first or second episode did a disservice to the drama and denied yourself of an excellent production with a very fitting OST.
Love, revenge, redemption, personal growth, the sexiness of mathematics (and this is coming from a person who was incredibly awful at the various math disciplines), the main leads, the fabulous secondary characters.... this drama had it in spades!
Personally, I would have loved to see a really good lip-lock at least once but that would not have been in keeping with the tone of the drama.
I could go on waxing poetic over this drama but suffice it to say, Lee Do Hyun is now on my drama-watching radar screen. He has a darn impress filmography for his age and experience.
If I could up-star this drama more than once, I would do it until it was in the 9s.
So, quit reading comments and go watch it.

I've given an inordinate amount of thought to this drama, the overall MDL rating, and comments from people about the student/teacher relationship.
So I'm coming back to add.... the synopsis/description of this drama does it no favors either. Those triggered by the word "sexual, student/teacher", would automatically blast past and not give it a chance.
Maybe if the wording would have been... "Student infatuated with brilliant math teacher...." the drama would be given a more fighting chance at being viewed.
Think back to when you were in school. Were you lucky enough to have a good-looking teacher? Did your thoughts stray from purely academic thoughts? If you did, no throwing stones by you!
If "sexual attraction" can be a purely mental construct, then yeah, this drama has it. But in the beginning, it's more like infatuation... on a brainiac level. There is ZERO skinship in this drama. Even the only "kiss" (a henpeck) ... at the very, very end of the drama, is filmed from a distance ... it almost doesn't count.
By my calculations, the ML character was in his early 30s when this first "contact" happened. He sequestered himself for at least six years writing his various theses and proofs, after attending university. So yeah, not an underage teenager being taken advantage of by a person of authority and older.
On the teacher's part .... who wouldn't be thrilled beyond belief and "be in love" with the possibility of mentoring the next Ramanujan.
[If you don't know who Ramanujan is, use the computer you're holding to read up on him. He contributed to the creation of this marvel of technology you are holding or that is sitting on your desk.]
