Good characters and good dialogue

So far, I'm enjoying this show a lot. Jisoo always seemed destined for kdrama and you can see why. She has this beautiful aura of sincerity, realism and warmth to her acting, and her character is really sweet. I totally sympathise with some of anger towards this show but I think people should continue to watch to the end and then make their own minds up.

Jung Hae-in is great even as his character says little. Instead he conveys the tone through his body language and facial expressions. The two of them have this sweet chemistry around each other of two people knowing they shouldn't fall in love, but slowly succumbing to it. I also like the supporting characters in that they're interesting and fleshed out, and not simply one-dimensional and boring.

The political scenes add a layer of intrigue in how these grand forces are slowly moving and finding their way towards Jisoo and Hae-in's characters. It feels surreal that everything could be gravitating towards their simple romance but there we are. I'm interested to see how these political arcs tie in with what's happening in the school. I also find the university's principal to be really intriguing and there's a lot of curiosity surrounding her that they explained well.

I like how earned the character arc of Hae-in's character was. He wasn't a two-dimensional character but someone of genuine motivations, desires and emotions. He was well-written. I loved Jisoo's character and I thought she acted that role out really well, displaying the full variety of emotions immaculately.
