Drama that was good only until the first half. When the same author of the webtoon gets upset and explains that her own ideas as an original writer were not taken into consideration, you know something was wrong.

Seol is character easy to empathize with. Anyone who has or is going through the university can feel 100% identified with it. Plus she had real problems like anyone in their 20s. So that made connecting with her a lot easier.

Now, Yoo Jung, a very discriminating character. With him there is no middle ground, either you hate him or you try to let the story tell you why this is so. Yes, because believe me in the Webtoon they explain in greater detail why he is like that. He wasn't bad but his way of raising had made it that way and everyone used it. I don't defend it, in fact neither the webtoon is made for you to justify it, but for you to understand that there are people who need help and it is not that they are precisely bad but the drama could not / didn't want to represent this.
With a direction that had much more preferences towards the Baek In actor, and that gave him too much screen time, heroic situations, and stories that didn't exist in the webtoon, you can clearly say why Yoo Jung was so wronged.

Everyone did a great job, however I can't feel sympathy for Baek In when you know that his character was not originally like that and was only benefited by being the director's favorite.
