    Slow burn.  Loved watching the leads fall slowly in love, but everything else was a little boring.  The pace was too slow.    Would have been better if they had cut the episodes in half.

    From puppy love into a slow burn, watching the leads fall in love was so sweet and simple.  Full of cute chemistry that will give you a warm fuzzy feeling.  Do wish that the episodes were shorter though and the pace faster.

    30. Time and Him Are Just Right

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 25 episodes

    A cross between Wait, My Youth and A Love so beautiful.  The main leads are cute with loads of chemistry, but the rest of the story outside of them was boring.  Too much filler

    Chae Jong Hyeop is super cute and Kim So Hyun is infectiously likeable in this short simple youth romance.  It's an easy breezy, but forgettable watch.
