It's an ok story. The typical "I find out I love my best friend after she's found someone new" scenario. I feel like I was mostly let down due to Jisoo still playing the guy who can't get the girl, only this time he's more loud and childish.

Just because a show is supposed to be a light-hearted teen romance doesn't mean it should lack something to interest watchers. My issue isn't predictability or cliches my issue is the show doesn't feel like it's trying at all. Nothing makes your heart flutter, nothing makes you laugh, nothing makes you sympathize. It's just a flat story. The side characters aren't any better. I found myself skipping through whenever they appeared which is something I've never done before. It didn't feel like a true part of the story, but a way for the creators to fill out a 1-hour quota. You can barely feel any bonds between the characters but I'm not sure if that's the acting or the script.

In short, this would've been better off a 20-min episode web drama. Maybe I'll watch the last episode if I hear good reviews of season 2, but for right now I don't see a need to keep it sitting in currently watching

I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this to someone but I wouldn't tell anyone thinking of watching it run for the hills either.
