Just started this and I feel sorry for the ml, its kinda over exaggerated and dramatic here but in reality there are students who have this unrequited love for studies, study hard but result doesn't show your hard work, its very depressing.
Yeah when I first saw the trailer I thought they would do the classic love after mairrage with some angst which I tell you is my personal favorite trope when it comes to period dramas, but then they shoved in this amnesia thing, it kinda ruined the fun for me, perhaps they wanted to wrap the story faster.
