A 10 if you ignore the ending

The drama is an extremely bold drama about 2 childhood friends in high school. The moment the first episode starts, you're hit with a jaw dropping moment. So much so that the actors weren't even shown the scene in their reaction video. But that's just the beginning!

The drama somewhat reminded me of The Time Of Fever where one lead is slowly failing to hide his attraction to the other and is practically hungry for him. That's what the intimate scenes of Summertime are like. Real passionate kisses. A bit of obsession but not to the extent of being a red flag.

The drama was very interesting and I eagerly awaited every episode. This will be a great binge! There is also a 3rd character and I must admit, at times I had second lead syndrome. There's a bit of mystery surrounding him.

The last 2 episodes could feel a bit annoying but you do see the signs of Yeo EunHo's struggle. It just becomes blaringly obvious towards the end. The only thing that I disliked was the very end. It left me extremely confused and annoyed. I read the director's statement and personally I don't buy it because it was badly portrayed as opposed to everything else. But the drama is too good to miss purely because of the ending so I gave it a 9.5/10.

Hope people give it a chance even if as a one time watch.
