He is indeed just right, but I am not sure abut the time

This drama starts off giving some kind of A Love So Beautiful vibes, with a slightly clingy athlete second male lead, a very clingy female lead and a cold and reserved male lead, plus a bunch of friends in high school. However it has a slightly odd twist on the one hand the female lead here is actually portrayed as both bubbly and smart, a rare combination in c-drmaland but they had to add a heart transplant plot line that made 0 sense other than for the plot, so if you have no clue what so ever about heart transplants it might just work for you. But for me who has had a heart condition that resulted in a heart transplant that whole plot line just felt completely off.

Luckily the heart transplant plot line does not get to much screen time to take away from all the good this drama has to offer. An actual smart female lead, a bit naive and a bit to easy to manipulate at times but straight forward a great communicator with everyone but the male lead that is... She is resourceful and very much lovable.

The male lead is the perfect combination of reserved and cold in the beginning and calm and loyal by the end. He is a supportive, kind, smart. Making it hard to find flaws in him. That said he is not always great at conveying his feelings and making sure the y reach the female lead. He is also playful, and though may seem a bit passive compared to many other male leads in dramalandI find his approach refreshing, but it does seem to leave our naive female lead a bit insecure.

The second couple takes bickering to another level and not in a good way, I loved those two characters in the beginning for their friendship and cool way of using coca cola product placement but they got more and more annoying as the episodes passed by.

The third couple had a lovely gay story in c-disguise and though they had little screen time the little we got conveyed a deep connection of love and longing.

The second male lead offered a few moments of fun and helps bring out different sides of the female lead but he got on my nerves and was definitely not SLS material.

There are a lot of C-drama cliches here some doe right, some with a twist... some done a bit meeh... However the romantic/friendship gestures made here are different level, focusing on quality over quantity.

So to sum it up this is a sweet and fluffy romance, enemies to lovers with a whole lot of play and fluff and without a lot of angst, it has some annoying element and draggy parts but both leads are great most of the time which pretty much makes up for the flaws. Making this a drama worth watching for those who appreciate a hate to love, misunderstandings youth type of romance. It is in no way a must watch but a pretty ok drama.
