After finishing twinkling watermelon, I started this K drama, because of Ryeoun. Especially after seeing so many TikTok‘s of him in this K drama (edits), I became super curious, because this K drama was in the erotica category on the website, or I mean the app that I was watching it in, it was listed in the erotica section and once I saw his name in there I became super curious and I knew I just had to watch it. (also bc ??? why is it in the erotica section LMAOO)

Since this K drama isn’t that popular I didn’t really know what to expect and especially because the first episodes were not about him,,, and his character wasn’t introduced until later in the episodes so the first few episodes were a little bit boring to me. I know that the actress in the first few episodes is in a kpop group (gidle?) and I was like oh that’s interesting but it just wasn’t really as interesting as i thought it would be.

so the first few episodes were boring me and I was like oh what if the TikToks that I saw were like just taking out of the few moments of the show and this is actually pretty boring ???…but I kept watching and that’s when it came to his character and oh my god, it’s literally one of the best tropes ever like!!! childhood best friends to boy next door girl next door to lovers AND fake dating trope let’s not forget about that!!

Ryeouns chemistry with the actress was exceptional and I continued watching it just for those two. I honestly wished that there were more episodes with those two in there because once their story ended and it went to the last story, I was pretty bored throughout the rest of the show.

The last story was about a teenage girl. Basically the same premise as the other two stories, but this time it is about a girl who is a little bit of a bigger person and we all know what happens in K dramas when you’re not skinny,,, obviously she gets bullied, and thats sort of the main plot in the story.

I honestly did not like the character, I really dislike how when Korea makes a plus sized character they make them super annoying and just all about their weight. They have no other plot except for being insecure about their weight and it was really annoying throughout the show. I understand there was a reason for it and I guess they’re talking about how you should love yourself no matter what and what not but the whole time they made the character seem so naive and so annoying and she had zero personality, except for wishing that she was skinnier and that the popular boys like her, but what I like at the end a lot was that they didn’t make this into a romantic story and they made her and the guy end up in a platonic relationship and I really like that because not everything has to be romantic, and I’m really happy that at the end they end up being good friends, and I really liked how she changed at the end as well. I would say in the last few episodes she did make a big development but it was still super boring, and I think it’s only worth watching this show for the other two aka Ryeouns ship.

also what I didn’t get is what ended up happening with that bully like did she just continue bullying her like what happened there? I think the show ended super abruptly especially her story !!and I don’t know if there’s going to be a season two because this show could very easily have a season two, because it kind of reminded me of sex education and because they talk about different stories, they could definitely make a season two and I would be up for watching it because it wasn’t a bad plot like it’s not a bad k drama it’s just that certain stories were pretty boring.

Overall pretty entertaining
