Short, but good

I started this drama with low expectations since it's a short webdrama, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was. The plot is engaging enough to keep you interested in how things will play out, and it is a fast paced drama, which I personally loved. However, even if you don't like fast paced dramas I don't think you can consider this a flaw when it comes to this drama since the episodes are shorter which means they had to fit the story in somehow. I actually think the story was developed well given its restrictions, and they even included a plot twist at the end which I did not expect at all. Overall, this drama was really good and I truly believe that it would've been even better if it was a full length drama with more budget.

In terms of the acting, I wouldn't say there was any stellar performances, but I think all the actors did well in their respective roles, especially the main leads. I loved the chemistry between them and their kiss scenes were ten times better than some kiss scenes I see in other dramas. They have a lot of potential as actors and I can even see them becoming top stars to be honest, especially since they have good visuals as well. I really hope that they can get bigger and better roles soon and showcase their skills to a larger audience.

In all, I recommend this drama if you want to watch a short, fast paced, but well developed story with intriguing characters. Don't go into this expecting a great production like you see in longer cdramas, instead appreciate what the cast and crew created with the resources they had, which in my opinion, was a great drama!
