A simple college romance done right

This is very similar to Put Your Head On My Shoulder. They are alike in that both leads secretly like each other for a long time without telling the other how they feel, both are set in a college, both leads are smart & attractive, both dramas are very low on angst, both dramas have height difference couples, and both are laid back slice of life dramas.

It’s basically a simple, sweet, fluffy college romance that focuses completely on the romance of the main leads and little else. There’s no hidden identities, evil villains, childhood trauma, or hateful parents. And even though the second male and female leads chase after the main leads causing misunderstandings, I wouldn’t say that there’s a love triangle or love square. That’s because both main leads make it abundantly clear from the beginning that they aren’t interested in the second male and female leads. I found this quite refreshing since almost every drama out there has the main leads being super nice to those crushing on them which leads to false hope and hurt feelings.

The female lead is a very confident, optimistic, determined, and outgoing girl that draws people to her with her bubbly personality. But despite her intelligence, she’s very clumsy and constantly falls or bumps into things. This often results in awkward situations that are comedic gold and really makes the the drama more lighthearted and fun.

The male lead is a perfectionist that’s very blunt and straightforward. He speaks his mind with no filter whatsoever often hurting others feelings which he seems oblivious to. But when he observes how the female leads awkward clumsiness gets her into the funniest of predicaments, he’s quite amused and often finds himself laughing. She’s so cute and charming that he’s quickly smitten with her but has no idea how to pursue her and often makes a mess of things. Seeing him come out of his shell and learn how to interact better with others was really enjoyable.

The chemistry of this adorable height difference couple is pretty good. There’s lots of cute moments, especially the ones where he just picks her up or lifts her up like she’s a little doll that weighs nothing. They’re interactions are fun to watch. My main complaint would be that the story lacked depth and action. And I wish there were more romantic moments and skinship.

That being said, I still really enjoyed this drama and I’m glad I watched it. If it had more romantic moments and more depth to the story like Put Your Head On My Shoulder, I would have rated it similarly to that drama. But it’s still worth investing your time in. Don’t skip this drama, it’s just too cute.
