Cute drama worth giving a try
I'm sorry to say this but Im Jiyeon does not fit cute roles and historical roles at all. I loved her in The Glory so I was exited to watch her new drama but I was let down by her acting a little bit. I'm not sure if it's the plastic surgery or the way she acts but her face is really stiff which made me think that she didn't really fit the role of Shin Seori.Apart from that the story was pretty cute. The first 6-7 episodes were really entertaining. It was fun to see Seori discover this new era and build up her relationship with Segye, and their banter was so funny to watch.
After that though the pace really slowed down and it almost felt like a chore to watch the episodes so I stopped watching for a week or two. So if you like consistent pacing you might have a hard time with this.
Like I said the chemistry between Seori and Segye is amazing and they look very good next to eachother, but I will say Segye is a little bit of a red flag for me. I HATED how he would switch from hot to cold in a matter or 2 scenes.
The other actors also did a great job, especially Jang Seung Jo who played Choi Mundo, and l loved seeing Chae Seoan again but she was so cute in Perfect Crown that I couldn't take her seriously as a mean girlðŸ˜.

Too unrealistic and corny
Unfortunately this drama was not really for me.The one thing that made this so annoying to watch was the action scenes. They were soo unrealistic that I had a hard time focusing on the story. How can high school student fight like that????
I also found it a little bit ridiculous that they were fighting this hard just for a study group. Couldn't they easily have created one outside of school and meet at the end of the day or something?
Also, are school gangs really that big in South Korea? This is the second drama I see after Teach You a Lesson where they make them such a big deal.
I will say though the friendships were really cute, I especially liked Sehyeon and Heewon, and I thought that the cast did a pretty good job at acting.
The music was also well chosen and perfectly matched the scenes.
