Sweet, light, breezy watch

I really fell for this little gem of a drama. It's light, simple, and so sweet. The ML Minho kind of reminds me of the ML in A Love So Beautiful (chinese version) where he quietly harbors feelings for the FL and struggles to keep them in check. It's that same slow steady quiet burn that had me wanting more. I just really loved watching the close bond of the best friend relationship between the leads and hoping like crazy it would turn into something more.

For his debut drama, I thought NCT's Jaehyun did a decent job as the ML. I can see he has potential as he made the ML sweet and thoughtful without being cringey. I can't say his acting wasn't entirely without fault, but that goes for the entire cast who scream rookie vibes with the exception of HyeSoo who was so obviously the more experienced of the bunch. But even with the rookie acting, it still worked with the fun collegiate atmosphere and the story flowed pretty well with the exception of the last 3 episodes., I don't know what happened there, but the tone was way off and awkward (like WTF was up with that cringey wedding dance?! Did anyone else suffer major 2nd hand embarrassment watching that disaster?). It almost felt like the last 3 eps were filmed in the beginning of the shoot before the cast became comfortable with each other. But all in all, I still really liked this and will probably watch this again just for that steady burn that I so love. For those of you who don't feel like watching anything too serious, this may be a good option for you.
