Totally different from webtoon which made it quite boring to watch in the end.

the main plot is not bad , i loved the main plot of the FL wearing makeup to get away from bullies and she gets involved with two guys who likes her for her personality more than looks. But i feel like the whole drama was carried by our second lead and all supporting cast. I watched the last ep because of them as i wanna know what happens to them. I loved jukyung and her friendship and family moments. And i loved Seojun, he really loved our FL but i feel like they used him till the end to keep viewers curious IN DRAMA i mean cause in WEBTOON they really used seojun in a good way not like in drama. I almost cried in 16th ep ngl.



Kinda spoilers!
I quite hated that they didn't follow the webtoon story , jukyung x suho dating should not have happened early just like in webtoon cause it became boring. Basically i love the story of webtoon more than drama. they could have made a webtoon route where soojin gets jealous because suho likes jukyung (not dating) and she uploads her no makeup face (which does happen in drama) . And suho before leaving to US tells jukyung he likes her like in webtoon . And after jukyung x seojun's breakup suho helps her and they get back together . This way the drama would be more like webtoon way . They really did use seojun and gave almost all his scenes in webtoon to suho
If seojun as a character was not there in drama , i would have liked suho. Suho is a good boyfriend but in drama his character gets a bit annoying ngl. I feel like his character in webtoon is much better .
Basically i watched this show for Cha Eun Woo and ended up falling in love with Hwang In Hyeop .
I loved that seojun became an idol in the end but the way he cried after being heartbroken is one of the saddest moment in a kdrama , i cried too.
I loved Moon Ka Young's acting she really got into the character of jukyung . And i loved the side love stories of her family members and friends .
And i loved kang soojin , i know she did the wrong choice of choosing love over friendship but she does care for jukyung as we see in ep 16 , i can't make myself hate her even though she did wrong things. Even the actress who played the role is very nice.
I gave this drama a 8.5 cause of the second lead and supporting characters , and i how they depicted school bullying , when her mom finds out about it and all.
OST- i loved some and some makes me cry everytime i hear it especially chani (sf9) starlight and fall in you .
Also i loved the friendship moments between suho and seojun and how they got back together .
