Episode 1 alone had me giggling so much. And the way Cha Do Hyeon controls Yeo Eun Ho with his words and actions hit different. I LOVED it. The series was off to a strong start, and it stayed steady throughout. The only speed bump for me was the ending because I'm very tired of fake-out dream sequences.

I didn't like that Yeo Eun Ho wakes up and is like, "It was a dream." It's misleading when it's apparently a subconscious process there to show emotional growth, and he's visualizing a scenario where he confessed & embraced his feelings much sooner. That all could have been done without a fake-out dream sequence. It was misleading and confusing. I would have much preferred to see them deal with Yeo Eun Ho's obvious insecurity & unhappiness with the direction his life is going outside of his relationship. They just have him coasting by in life because it's easier than trying to do something else & if I'm being honest, it was too realistic.

I don't watch these dramas to be called out, okay.

It also would have been nice if they had done more with the school & developing the characters outside of the romance. What they did was fine, but it didn't feel like they were in school. They were just sitting in a classroom. Thankfully, there were at least plenty of extras, so the world didn't feel empty. It makes it feel like they had a bigger budget even though they might not have.

The acting was really good. I love Kim Do Min's acting, & he's adorable! This was Seong In Ho's first role & I think he killed it. He was a bit robotic, but I think that's what they were going for. They had really good chemistry as well & the kisses were something else. I also haven't seen hand-holding this good since Themepo.

I had a lot of fun watching this series; it was cute & easy, with the only real disappointment for me being the ending.

P.S.
Beating your kid with a golf club for smoking is both wild and valid.
