Classic teen drama energy but make it very serious lol
Enjoyed this so much. Had to take a break before watching 3 episodes because I did not want it to end. if anyone had heard me watching, they’d think I was losing my mind.
I know they weren’t necessarily teenagers….I think Ha Won is like 20 but I have no idea how old the others were supposed to be. but they all felt like. it just felt like a classic teen drama. like there’s so many American tv choices that had similar vibes. and then of course it being in 2016 really puts it in a peak moment in time lol.
the OST is one of the best I’ve heard. so so good.
Star deductions on acting/casting + overall because of Hye Jin and Hye Ji only. I don’t even feel like I can say she’s poorly written because that is exactly who they wanted her to be. and she was fully committed to the bit. but man…… such a useless character. like she had nothing about her or to her existence except for being all about Hyeon Min. then when he finally gives her time of day, she can’t stop smiling. like huh???
their dynamic was strange but when you really think about it….it’s not at all surprising that Hyeon Min was boxing her out like that. the ten years thing felt exaggerated because who likes someone else that long especially when you’re not around each other that whole time? but hey it’s a kdrama.
Ha won is legit one of the best female leads I’ve watched!!! And ngl I lovedddd her and Ji Woon. it’s definitely subjective because their banter and enemies (kinda) to lovers is up my alley. but I can see why a lot of people aren’t fans of it.
there’s so much more I could say hut this is already too long.
I guess TL;DR it’s cheesy and cringe with annoying characters but if you’re open to that and ok with that for what it is, it’ll be good lol.
