One of the most fun to watch romance dramas

This is my first review and I'm going to keep it brief and to the point , the main leads were incredibly likable, at least the main guy was. Going into this drama I expected him to be the stereotypical genius who had little to no social skills and therefore was going to have a bunch of awkward antics and the romance was going to somehow blossom from that. Although he does end up exhibiting some of those quirks, for the most part the main lead was very much a social and likable character and he just oozed charm through his actions. His actions had motives that felt genuine, and maybe I was just starting to get fatigued by main leads who go out of their way to do stuff to seem charming, but I definitely could imagine why someone would begin to fall for a guy like him. My review is going to be mainly focused on him because well, the show doesn't really do a whole much else.

The main female lead is also pretty good in her role, her plot (like much of the drama which I will get to later) doesn't really do much for the overall drama however she has good chemistry with the main lead. I don't want to sound like im underplaying her performance because as a character they just played well of each other and you can really experience how the main lead falls for her (sorry for referring to them by their leads I'm terrible when it comes to names for characters in dramas)

My only gripe with this drama which is the reason why I wouldn't be able to put it any higher than maybe like an 8(?) (the only reason i didn't is because I've given more involved dramas an 8 and it wouldn't seem fair) was because of the lack of a real plot to carry the story. This is where I go into spoiler-y territory so I'll just put this here, If you want to see a nice couple fall in love and be cute and stuff and make you regret being single then yeah go for it have fun you won't regret it. However if you want some nice plot to be resolved and to see the characters face something outside of their love for one another then I'm hard pressed to recommend it.

its on netflix so its an easy binge :)

spoilers from here on out

There really isn't much to spoil as I said there really isn't a plot but this becomes incredibly apparent after the main couple get together, this isn't helped by the fact that I'm used to watching dramas that are like 14-16 episodes long and they usually won't even have their first kiss until like episode 9 or something and by then the main plot is in full swing. At around episode 10-13 or so the main two leads are already dating and with half the show left, the drama becomes very transparent about its lack of urgency in creating a reason for the show to keep going. I may be exaggerating when I say there isn't any plot but in terms of a major plot there really is not one and the show just kinda ends after they graduate and get married. For this reason the show leaves you with a sense of "huh okay i guess?" As nice as it was to see the main leads get together and be cute you don't really get anything else out of it and it just makes the show feel more of a time waster. However if you don't care about that and are just looking for some nice chemistry and romance (which I was after watching a few eps of a drama where the main lead were really good looking but my god did they have like zero chemistry) then this will fill the void.

okay cool thanks :)
