If you're looking for something that has a deep story with twists and turns.....This is not the drama you. But just because it doesn't have a deep story or memorable characters doesn't mean it isn't *GOOD*

This K-Drama focuses on 6 leads (Yeah It's a lot) and how they navigate school and their personal feelings towards each other. There are two main couples in the story and the third couple is a slow burn that happens over the course of the 12 episodes. In terms of screen time between the 6 leads I'd say Is about 45% Main couple / 35% Second couple / 5% Third Couple / 10% Others.

the two main tropes the drama focuses on is the Best friends to lovers trope and Love triangle. The plot is very predictable by the time you finish the first episode you know how everything will playout.

The actors did a good job at portraying their archetypes but they don't go beyond that. My personal gripe of the show is that I wish it focused on the Main couple more because that's when the drama was at its peak. The secondary couple and their story was tolerable but I myself didn't like the second FL character and I think when you watch it you'll understand why.

With that being said I think Its a good drama because it knows what it is and It knows it's target audience! It has all the cliche's you're looking for and it does it well.

Dear M is worth watching as its only 12 episodes and the pacing is great.
