Story:
It isn't something mindblowing. Just some university folks falling in love, but I'd say it's enjoyable. It's worth giving it a try, although it might get a little boring/annoying over time. There's lots of drama (mainly because of BohnDuen) that I found tiring after a while, but it's still an adorable and sweet series. If you're looking for something to binge, then I think this is perfect.

Acting/Cast:
The acting is really good. There are some awkward moments, but honestly - they are in almost every drama. All of the actors gave the best of them and did an amazing job. The cast - i think it's well chosen. I haven't read the novel, but from what I've seen on Twitter, everyone thought the actors really matched the characters. Personally, I find the boys really cute and handsome, especially King, Boss and Bohn :). I'd like to describe every pairing separately, so here we go:

BohnDuen - I liked them more at the beginning than later. I don't know, I just felt more excited to see them on the screen. I adored the concept of Duen bringing Bohn flowers and I still do, it's just that... there was TOO MUCH drama going on between them. I'm glad they got a happy ending, they ended up together again and even kissed 2! hecking times in a single episode (and they barely hugged through the whole series!), but Bohn being jealous over silly things and Duen kinda provoking him wasn't really nice to watch. They lacked communication. And the reason of their break up? A guy kissing Bohn on the cheek? Really? I get it, Duen was sad that Bohn kept it to himself, but that's not something that should be the cause of them parting ways. It wasn't even Bohn's fault and I really can't understand why he didn't try to explain it?? Instead, they showed it like he was the culprit, while he was literally the victim! I hope that in a second season there won't be THIS much drama, or imma cry;-;

MekBoss - They are such cuties! To be honest, at first I skipped almost every of their scenes, and you can literally bash me for this, all tea all shade. But I was fed up and downhearted by the way Boss was treating Mek and how all the women were treating Boss! I was ready to throw fists, I just didn't want my babies to get hurt over and over. You have no idea how I SCREAMED when Boss confessed to Mek. I'm also happy that Boss had the guts to announce their relationship to the whole camp. And I appreciate that the girl (I forgot the name, sorry) didn't make any problems and didn't try to meddle in their happiness.

TharaFrong - They started poorly, but it got a lot better. I loved that they were basically the only couple that didn't face any problems at the end. Well, not really a couple though, because Frong got... brother-zoned XD I didn't expect that and I could see the disappointment on Frong's face - same man! Anyway, I don't really have much to say, they are basically a "fresh" pairing. I love the lizard and the bus vomit scene tho! haha

RamKing - SKJSJKSJGKLSKJLS. That's it. Jk, I have to say something more about this great duo! Unlike BohnDuen, these guys can communicate! Maybe Ram isn't the most talkative person out there, but King knew that. And he took time, gave his best and slowly slid into Ram's "shell". He didn't break it, he understood it and just sneaked in to cuddle (idk guys, idk). The feeling was just like a plant. He had to nurture it. And it grew beautiful. Ram opened for him and trusted him. I knew why King was acting so weird and cold at the camp, but it still hurt to see Ram so confused. I squeaked when they kissed and I squeaked even louder at the message Ram sent to King the day after. I absolutely adore this pairing and I hope things will get sorted out in the future.

Music:
It was nice. Tbh, it's in lots of series, but I can't stop myself from laughting when something cute or romantic is going on and the slowmotion and this one particular song kick in, haha. And the opening is iconic too!

Rewatch Value:
Really, don't have much to say. I'll probably just rewatch it before the second season. But it's worthwhile and it can really keep a person entertained, so maybe I'll come back to it after some time.

Overall:
"You nice, keep going" - as would Jimin say, haha. I hope that there will be more character development in the second season. And BohnDuen, I'm begging yall, TALK TO EACH OTHER!
