Look for the deeper message
- A beautiful allegory on the effects of capitalism. It was so exhilarating that it literally kept me up at night! Some portions seem quite predictable, but i feel that it was on purpose. It is fiction, but a metaphor for real life experiences. Anticipating what may happen next is its beauty because that means it is relatable in some aspects. Given that it ended on a cliffhanger, I am really looking forward to another season.- The production is absolutely insane. The details, the colors, the music choices, etc. are all spectacular. I applaud the team behind all of the sets!
- The actors did a really great job immersing themselves in their characters. I was really opinionated on all the characters, which is a sign of great acting!

i really cannot believe this plot was approved, and i feel bad for the cast that is associated with this show because wow it really is bad. the plot twist revealed the most shocking form of manipulation i have ever seen in a show. the woman was quite literally a victim of Stockholm Syndrome. furthermore, it was not only the woman being manipulated, but the audience as well. i had to drop the show because it made me feel sick to my stomach. so please, do not watch this show! in the first few episodes it seems all cute or whatever but it is not! DO NOT WATCH IT IS A WASTE OF YOUR TIME!Was this review helpful to you?

Was promising...
Overall, even though I was entertained enough to complete it, I still wish some aspects were handled differently. This show was very immersive during the first half and I did not find myself skipping through any scenes but I cannot say the same for the latter half. The actors for Sun and Jay/Arthur had great chemistry, but at times the direction of intimate scenes felt uncomfortable to watch. (They had some very cute scenes that I wish they really committed to Jay being a soft top). I also anticipated a relationship growing between Sky and Pakin, but it just did not go anywhere unfortunately.Was this review helpful to you?
silly romcom, opposites attract
I really enjoyed the down to earth vibe of this show. I don't think Ive ever giggled so much while watching a drama. I wish it had more episodes and explored the characters a biiit more. For example, we know that Mi-Kyeong is trying to quit smoking but that part is rarely brought up. I also find the lack of physical contact a dissapointment, they had a ton of chemistry and the tension was there!Was this review helpful to you?
sweet- but something was missing! 7.5-8
I really enjoy coming of age dramas, and so naturally I enjoyed this series. The main couple has a very healthy dynamic, and the show does not rely on unnecessary drama to move the plot. If you like low-stress series, I would recommend!However, I do have some grievances.
1. At certain points i felt that rangrang was a bit too nonchalant like sometimes it really did seem like zaizai was harboring a one-sided attraction.
2. the highschool portion of the series was too long, while the adulthood portion was only a few episodes, I absolutely adored the 2nd couple in the series and their story was completely neglected during the adulthood portion!
3. It felt like a rushed ending.
