meh.. a waste of 2 hours

Yes, I watched this because of Jaemin. And I was, like a lot of others, pleasantly surprised by his acting. Yes, the role is very basic and with not much room to show acting prowess, but he still did a pretty good job.

I think that this is a mediocre web drama. To be honest, I don't love the main actress, she didn't really match the role and it didn't help that the pacing and writing of the show felt off. Jaemin's character was kind of all over the place, and although some call it character development, it seemed like two completely different characters to me.

Its full of every cliché: the wrist grabbing, the fake dating, the confessions, the crying, the two girls like one guy, the first crush, the..... I could go on and on.

Another super annoying cliché was the "life-changing" moment between the two leads. EVERY TIME, they somehow have met years before and had their lives changed. He says... "if you hadn't given me that pen, i wouldn't have made it into college." What kind of BS is that? It seems like a joke, thats how bad that writing was. There were lots of moments where I had a similar feeling throughout these two hours. Who knew so many clichés could be shoved into two hours.

One last thing, the guy that she develops a crush on.. he is mediocre looking and kind of boring. (I'm sorry to the actor, but his facial proportions are a little strange looking in this drama, maybe is the lighting? But his jaw always looks kind of skewed.) WHY is she so hung up on him when Jaemin is right there? Thats what makes the least sense to me of this whole thing.
