Short, simple but well done

Though this was a short 3 episode drama, it was still really enjoyable to watch....

STORY:
The overall storyline is very simple, about a shy slightly awkward boy who has a crush on the popular kid at school. Some cliches as well as they reveal they liked each other secretly the whole time. But this is a tried and tested cliche that always works... that angst.....

ACTING:
Overall the acting in this drama is really good despite possible budget constraints etc. But the standout to me was War's acting. Watched him in En of Love where he acted really well in that already but his acting here was AMAZING. I could feel all the different emotions that his character was feeling as well... from the shy unsure nervousness that came from crushing not only on a very popular target in school but also from the fact that he was experiencing same-sex attraction. His bashful glances from behind the bookshelves to peeking at his crush walking by the classroom... all these are really relatable. Even his pleased looks that he tries to hide when his crush shows him attention... all these were nuanced and well acted out. And that scene where he wrote on Dew's school shirt with hesitation and tears glimmering in his eyes, my heart BROKE for him!! Cant wait to watch the both of them again soon.

MUSIC:
Music score here is really well done and the OST is perfect. It was written for the show and the lyrics fit the story well.

OVERALL:
Wrecked by the sudden ending but accepted it as a part of real life. That crushes don't always work out but what mattered was that they enjoyed their school life to the fullest and acknowledged their growing feelings. And Best did all he could so that he would not have lingering regrets. Have watched it again twice already :))
