A Delightful High School Teen Drama

A high school teen drama with an interesting twist of a "Sweet Revenge" phone app made available to really nice, cute girl called Goo Hee. Needless to say, nice, cute girls in dramas are often bullied and on her first day reporting for high school, she meets Ji Hoon on a bus, where she forgot to top up her bus card. Their first exchange was not a comfortable one. However, soon they realize, not only do they take the same bus to school everyday, they also attend the same class. As expected, their familiarity slowly progresses to infatuation to fondness, then (ahem) love.

Yes, the story is predictable and nothing new. And yet, the drama garnered sufficient interest from me. The actors were casted well for their roles, the two leads were suited together, the fellow students were mean enough, friends, parents and teachers had enough material to make every episode enjoyable to watch. The fact that it is only 12 episodes helped.

However, the key that drove the basis of this drama is the "Sweet Revenge" phone app 'helper'. The FL just have to tap the word 'yes' and the helper will proceed to take revenge on people the FL is angry with . The helper then send her a note when revenge mission is complete. How nice. As revenge is not a good thing to do, eventually the FL realizes that there are many problems we can solve ourselves. She soon realizes that she need not use the app anymore as she matures in her thoughts and gains confidence in her own decisions. Having a handsome and supportive boyfriend in Ji Hoon is part of that recipe too.

And I was extra pleased to watch Cha Eun Woo. I noticed him since My ID is Gangnam Beauty. In this drama Sweet Revenge which was done a year before ID is Gangnam, he plays 'himself', a member of the boy band Astro. Good looking and charming as always.

Overall, I enjoyed watching this drama. Light and easy.
