So....I am very new to this Kdrama genre and I am quickly getting into.  Thank you Netflix.  

This is obviously a teenage or young adult type drama but I am sucker for great love stories no matter what age group.  I am always the one cheering for the underdog.  The one girl or guy that is out of place and no one expects to win but does.  With that being said.. What the heck is wrong here?

I could not stand the way Ha Ni stalked this guy.  He was sooooo mean to her.  He received great pleasure and joy in making her feel bad.  He acknowledge that.  He even acknowledge that to her.  She admits that he is mean but still is madly in love with him.  I don't understand.

I watched Good Morning Call and I thought that was bad and no one could possibly be as bad as Nao but boy was I wrong.  Ha Ni has her beat hands down.  I got up to episode 10 and I honestly could not stomach it anymore.  Many times I found myself wanting to through something at the TV or just picking up the TV and smashing it because I couldn't stand it.  

I want to apologize for not understanding the culture being that I am American.  I am not sure if this type of drama is a representation of how Asian women are in real life.  I cannot understand how any person man or female would allow someone to be blatantly mean and rude to them and find that they are the person that they would want to spend their life with.  It baffles me quite frankly.  The few dramas that I have seen seem to portray the lead actress as weak, dumb and clumsy.  She is has a servant attitude and is ok with made to feel beneath and should show gratitude for them even getting attention.  

I am not familiar with the actors like everyone else seems to be so I really have no point of reference to their acting abilities.

The friends I found unnecessary.  They really did not add anything to this show especially when they got to college.  No one else seemed to have a life outside of Ha Ni.
I found the mother's enthusiasm for the relationship a little bizarre and a bit going overboard.  
Ha Ni is very pretty.  HOWEVER, I hated the way they made her look like an idiot 11 year old even while in college.  They way she dressed and combed her hair.  I understand she was supposed to be pure and fresh and different but does that also mean she has to look like a child?  Realistically, would a normal guy really find this attractive for a long period of time?  And I don't even want to get into her stalking.  I got so annoyed when every time you turn around, she is running after him like a puppy and messes up everything.  What is worse is that he knew about everything all of this time and he showed little sign of changing.  He tortured her and she just kept coming back for more.

I have to end here.  Even just writing the review is making me upset and I do not want to break my laptop.
