don't expect too much

honestly, writing this review is kinda hard because I'm so conflicted...
I had fun watching it and it was cute, but my expectations were probably to high and thats why i feel so dissapointed.

I really trust Korean remakes. Because in my experience Kdramas are often more high quality than other asian dramas.
thats why i was really surprised when i caught myself thinking that the Thai original was better.


First, the story was quite different. The only things they had in common was the enemies to lover trope, the novel that becomes reality and the university setting. I'm sure there are other but these are the most prominent similarities.

I like that it was not just a copy, but the story didnt seem very thought through? I found a few contradictions (but that might also be because of mistranslations)


Personally, i couldn't connect with the characters, but the actors had great chemistry and veeeeeeery convincing kiss-scenes lol


The biggest issue (for me) was that the scenes were often not connected well.
Yeah, because they were played after another you could understand what was happening but it seemed so cheap, because the scenes didn't flow seamlessly into one another and instead were cutted in a very choppy way.

None of the main leads had played in more than 3 dramas and I noticed very quickly that they were inexperienced actors.

Plus, the sound was weird at times and it was taking me out.


It's not a bad remake and it is also not a bad drama. even though I critcized it a lot, i still enjoyed it!
If you watched the original or enjoy very high quality productions, this is probably not the drama for you
but if you just have some time to spare and like fun stories, why not check it out!
