Most of the aging TV romance actresses should take a page from Sarah Drew's book. Sarah is 42 years old but looks 10 years younger. It might be genetics, but in my opinion, it was the minimalistic lowkey way in which she was made up. Of course, that gorgeous red hair doesn't hurt either. I love that tomboyish girl next door look. As the hero says about her character, "She is a breath of fresh air."
This was mostly the standard plot of the famous movie star coming back to his small hometown, and falling in love with his old highschool sweetheart once again. It was made more intriguing because Mac, the girl, has some serious grief issues. We learn that she and Chase broke up in highschool (Why?-What happened?) and she is not anxious to renew the acquaintance. Why was her nickname "Pre-Med" in highschool? She is a great teacher, but why isn't she a doctor? All is revealed gradually throughout the show.
It had plenty of humor, including both situational and funny one-liners, but it also had some sadness and heartbreak too. It was well-balanced and well-rounded with no silliness. Her grief for her father was a little over the top, but it was well-acted. Justin Breuning who played Chase was good too, and he and Sarah Drew were good together. Mac's character was very likable. She was a great girl and It is no surprise that a famous movie star, used to dating glamourpusses would fall for her.
