Watchable, but a mess
I started this drama looking for something light, but unfortunately, it was mostly just frustrating. This was my first time watching both leads. The female lead’s acting was incredibly inconsistent, looking natural in a few scenes and completely unbearable in others. The male lead fared a bit better, but his character arc went completely off the rails in the second half.
The plot felt like a collection of forced tropes with nothing substantial to back them up. The high school arc dragged on far too long, especially if you are not looking for a teen drama. The poor girl struggling to save her dying grandparent trope was endless that I started rooting for her to die........ Add in a cartoonishly stupid mother as the villain, and the story quickly lost its footing.
The late stage drama only got worse. The breakup was absurdly exaggerated, and the adult arc made zero sense. The male lead flipped from being violent and resentful ( once the ML becomes violent or a bit too harsh on the FL , I lose interest) to forcing the female lead to live with him, to suddenly forgiving her and getting married. It was pure whiplash.
Between the nonsensical character shifts and a bizarre factory incident arc, the writing constantly forced drama where it did not belong. If you just need mindless background noise, this might do the trick, but do not expect anything impactful or well constructed.
