changes made to the story for drama version

●FIRST IMPRESSION
An ideal adaptation of the webtoon. The cast is legit supremacy. A feel-good drama. This show has an ocean of rom-com dose for us from the start to finish. I went with the progress of the story without bothering about who should get the girl. The romance, bromance, friendships everything was so enjoyable. but near the end I got that writer managed to give an ongoing webtoon a cliche closure, not perfect but it was fine.

●PLOT VIEW
I still think the series could've been shot better. this series also missed some elements to make it perfect TBH it was so cliche in every aspect. Like turning a perfectly good character Kang Soo Jin into a troubled child.
The mean mother sudden change. In fact, I had the feeling that more than school bullying, Im Ju Kyung faced bully from family especially her mother.
Also if one doesn't wear the glass they don’t become blind, they can still see things although blurry but they will see. When I'm Ju Kyung glasses are broken, that scene was made beautifully but I had to say this its's a stupid scenario.

●ACTING/CAST
Everyone acted awesomely well as per the story. And I like all the characters.
CEW was handsome as ever but he needs to have more skills for expression. Just a cold face with glimmering eyes is one expression, and he needs to work on that. He looked cute in the scenes with his friends, which was comfortable and enjoyable.
HIY gave an amazing performance, I saw him in 18again and he shined in this drama too. He makes a high school student more enjoyable to watch with his sharp eyes.
MGY was beautiful and was a total fashion goal in terms of school uniforms. I didn’t see any school drama with such varied uniforms. When we were in school we had just one uniform the whole year. Maybe the budget of the show was giving such an idea to makeover the face as well as the uniforms.

●MUSIC
OST and BGM were amazing These songs were making the scenes enjoyable giving in a more energetic vibe. I enjoyed every single track and have updated my playlist with these 3 tracks “Call me maybe”, “Love so fine”, “It starts today”.

●REWATCH
It was a fun watch & I might watch it again in the long future

●AFTERTHOUGHT
The lesson learned from this drama is to make friends before you find love. Also how to not be a bad parent.
