Nice school romance with great characters
Binged this series in two days.
I don't watch K-drama a lot, but this is my favourite so far. I love the story, though it's also a bit painful for me.
I was really, really rooting for Daon and Taekyung to be together. I mean, the way they treated each other was so sweet, and Taekyung's confession ("You said that nothing belongs to you, so I want to belong to you") was just so powerful to me.
However, I know from the start that Daon would be a very hard person to be in a relationship with. Someone who's aiming to please everyone would just hurt people they care about in the end.
And with the way the series gave Shinwoo ML treatments (I mean, special bgm when Shinwoo and Taekyung got close to each other?) I just know that Daon wouldn't have a chance.
For more than half the season, I was hopeful that I'll be wrong and Daon-Taekyung would get together (they like each other, what else might happen?), but by the time Daon said to people that he's nice to Taekyung just because Taekyung's a new member, I guess I just gave up. Taekyung deserves someone who's not afraid to declare their feelings to him. Daon was just not the one. I know he had his own reasons, but still.
Shinwoo was a great character too. I love how he knew when to give up and when to fight again. His awkward moments with Taekyung were very cute. This is unrelated, but for some reason he really reminds me of GOT7 Jinyoung.
But no matter what, I think the best character in this series was Namgung. He might not be directly involved with the conflicts in this drama, but the way he tried to light things up, and how he's giving advices (which he got from Mr. Seo) was just nice. I thought he's a bit of jerk at first for not helping Shinwoo, but it was a mistake ony part, because he actually helped, he just used his head more by calling the police. From then, he continued worm his way to be a character I'm fond of.
Some people might hate Sohee for her tenacity and what he did to Daon and Taekyung, but I actually don't think that she's a bad character. Yes, she's obsessed with Daon and what she's done to them wasn't right, but she's learning, trying, and well, who doesn't make a mistake in their life?
As for Mr. Seo, I was so glad that they got a scene dedicated to celebrate his birthday. He cared a lot for his students. With the last scene where he met someone (from his past?), I wonder if we would get second season or maybe a spin-off.
Last one, Taekyung. I wasn't really into him at first, but his honestly did made him interesting, and before I knew it, I got to like him. Like, I'm rooting for him. I literally shed tears when he realized that he liked Daon. And when he's rejected by Daon too.
Thankfully he's okay now.
I usually don't like a love triangle story, especially the one where the MC liked someone, got rejected, and the liking another person in a short period, but this series made it feels natural.
It still pained me that Daon let go of his chance tho. Hopefully, if there's any continuation, he'll get his own happy ending.
The osts are nice. I love them. Especially at the end of ep 14.
