WTF was I thinking ?! My brain cells were dying while watching this bullshit!

Honestly speaking, this is crap!

Absolutely extremely over-rated! This has such good rating and was recommended by so many youtubers and reviewers!

First and foremost, Cha Eun Woo cannot act. Its like he attends the "Lee Min Ho school of acting". No matter how pretty his costar is he kisses like a dead fish. I cant believe he has the leading role in so many shows. His character was the typical teen J-drama male lead. He was just like her bullies. He found out her secret so began bullying her and blackmailing her. He was that typical asshole who uses the girl he likes as a slave and it makes no sense why she would fall for him. That was sick and toxic to watch him treat her so badly for trying to fit in with people and follow the standard of beauty. He kept being his terrible self even after they began dating. He is controlling, obsessive, possessive and chauvinist. Her identity comes from dating him, f*cking hell was that.
I pitied her so much at first. Even her mother treats her so badly and now this d*ck who has natural beauty is bullying her as well. But later on she became that typical pathetic girl who goes and apologizes to the guy when he was clearly wrong. how dare he say her to quit her job and command her to stop hanging out with her friend. This drama made me feel like I had travelled back in time when would have to ask forgiveness from their husbands for disobeying them.

Seriously, I cant believe this show is by the same makers as Extraordinary You. Now that's a good show. HARU, that's how a male lead of a teen drama should be.

The second female lead was so cool at first but then became that typical bitch. WTF seriously WTF!!! Why are second female lead always a two-dimensional character in teen dramas?!

I thought we had evolved from this kind of toxic masculinity where the guys fight over a girl without asking her what she wants. I guess this is where the second lead redeems himself because when both guys are fighting on the field the main guy says the second lead to give but second lead says her opinion is what matters. Despite being the school bad boy the second lead never bullies her or blackmails her. Although he approached her for the wrong reasons but he still stands up for her, supports her and treats her well. So he is your typical second lead, whose job is to give you second lead syndrome, that's all. This was the worst 2020-2021 show I have seen so far.

I am so disappointed to see this as a successful show as its like a show K-drama from the 2000s or something. Cha Eun Woo's character in "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" is so much better despite his bad acting.

What a waste of time! PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THIS.
