Skinshipy high school drama

I won't get into much detail because I rarely get inspiration to write a review lately, but I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of skinship and kisses and 0 awkwardness between the leads considering this is a high school drama, it even got a bed scene? School 2017 and its approximately 0 kisses could never.

I loved all the characters with all their flaws and even the evil ones. Besides KSJ turning into a b*tch, I feel like everyone had a reason to be. I hated what they did to KSJ but the redemption kind of felt good, although pretty rushed.

LJG and LSH are definitely meant for each other and I loved how their relationship was really pure, genuine and healthy, despite the parting and occasional secrets. HSJ definitely deserved better and my heart hurt for him a lot, but I agree with some commenters saying that him and JG weren't really a good match. I know they date for a long while in the webtoon, but for what we got in the drama, they would just not match.

I'm with most people on this: it wasn't the best drama, wasn't all that great, many clichés and ridiculous moments, but I enjoyed it a lot and it kept me watching for a long while. It's still very funny to me that all LJG had was some acne, pinkish skin and eyebrows, yet people acted like she transformed herself 100%. Still, I would recommend this drama for a light and fun watch with some drama going on.
