I'm surprised the rating for this is so low because it's actually a bit better than other web dramas I've seen. Obviously there's a very simple plotline and a common message at the end — but ultimately the pacing was pretty good and things made sense.

It definitely took a while to get into, and honestly I was annoyed by the main character who was just overly boy-crazy right off the bat and talking about how she only attended college to find a boyfriend. It's also pretty obvious that it's Young-ji's acting debut — it wasn't the worst, but there was definitely a lot of bad overacting and it made the character seem super pouty and whiny all of the time.

I also don't know how I happened to get second lead syndrome in such a short amount of time but it happened.
