Sweet slice of life romcom

This drama was made by the same people that produced “A Love So Beautiful” (ALSB) and “Put Your Head On My Shoulder” (PYHOMS). I also see a lot of “Love O2O” in it. It has the handsome male lead that’s a genius scientist and is always walking around in a lab coat and has few friends because he’s so focused on his studies from PYHOMS. And it has the angst and lengthy breakup of ALSB. Then from “Love O2O” it has the pretty, confident, popular female lead that lives with several bff’s in their dormitory. The sismance is very similar to the sismance of “Love O2O” and is one of the things that makes this drama appealing. Overall it’s a good drama worthy of watching. But keep in mind that it’s not an action drama or a melodrama. It’s light and fluffy with just a touch of angst and drama but not too much. It’s a slice of life, coming of age drama that depicts youths facing the trials and tribulations of becoming adults.

What I liked:
The storyline is good and the characters are interesting. There were a lot of kisses, cuddles, and skinship. And I liked that there were several side couples. The bromance and sismance kept it from being boring and made it cute. The family drama was just enough to make things interesting without going to far and make It annoying where you hate the parents. I also like that there was a good reason for the temporary breakup. It wasn’t one of those noble idiocy situations that has you rolling your eyes over the stupid reason to breakup. And it wasn’t some silly misunderstanding that could have easily been fixed with proper communication. The ML really did have a good reason to breakup if what he was lead to believe was the truth. Fortunately he was tricked and lied to and was able to fix the situation. So this temporary breakup was reasonable and believable which made me like this drama even more.

What I didn’t like:
I didn’t like that there was the typical cliche second female lead that was obsessed with the male and constantly causing trouble. It’s a drama trope that’s being way over used in dramas nowadays. It’s almost a given occurrence in romance themed dramas now. I also wish that there was more character growth. I didn’t see much of that here and it would have added to the depth of the drama. The female lead was a bit stiff during the kisses but it got better as the drama progressed. But I guess since she’s very new to acting I shouldn’t complain. I’ve seen much worse from much more experienced actresses. And speaking of acting, both the ML and FL did a really good job on their acting. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for their future dramas.

Overall I would definitely recommend this drama if you like PYHOMS, ALSB, or Love O2O because it’s very similar to these dramas. It’s light fluffy and sweet with a little bit of angst but it’s not overly done. I would definitely recommend watching this drama.
