Amazing chemistry

This is the type of couple I honestly love — teasing male lead and sassy female lead in a love-hate relationship who just really have amazing chemistry together. This is one of the dramas where I never stopped loving the main couple after they got together, which happens a lot to me. Even after getting in the relationship, the main female lead never lost her spunk. They were so good together.

I really did not like the second lead at all honestly, and with that being said, my biggest criticism was with the big noble idiocy conflict. Not only did it make no sense considering the TX's personality, but it kind of messed up the main relationship — even if they had some good moments after, they never got back to where they used to be and all the new conflicts seemed so overblown compared to the rest of the drama. In my head I'll just pretend that that part never happened.

The side couples were really cute — but not all of them, and there were a little too much of them. The characters stuck in unrequited love ended up having really good character development and I do appreciate that a lot of the side characters got redemption arcs and their own stories, but there was really no need to push everyone together into pairs. The third roommate was one that I wish got her own backstory and had more of a role than being the dorm Dumbledore.

The friendships were honestly really good (both bromance and sismance!) and I think some characters could have done without the romance. I especially loved the guys dorm and how they teased LYB about TX. Adorable.

Overall, however, I loved that the drama was both romance, friendship, and chasing your dreams. The part before the noble idiocy would honestly go into my all time. This drama reminded me of Weightlifting Fairy KBJ (another of my faves) and there are so many scenes between the two leads that are worth rewatching.
