I was very surprised with Light on Me. The 16 medium length episodes worked well to develop the plot in a way that wasn’t too rushed or too slow.

The main cast is amazing and all have fantastic chemistry with each other. I was onboard the wrong ship throwout pretty much the entire series, even though I knew from episode 1 that Shin Woo and and Tae Kyung would end up together. My favorite character was definitely NamGoong. Woo Jin was the best part of every scene he was in. I was surprised that the 2 year time jump didn’t show any hints of NamGoong pursuing So Hee, I’m not even sure she knows he likes her.

Regarding Mr. Seo’s last scene. I’m inclined to believe that his wish was to meet someone from his past. I by the looks to it, that happened in the hallway.

Light on Me proves that there’s no need to create a series full of twists and turns for it to be entertaining. The fact that the show is focused on the friendship between the main characters is more than enough. No need for many side characters or school related drama. As the beach scene at the end proves, we don’t need to know about their future, because we know they’re all still friends and part of each other’s lives.
