I wish I could get my thirty hours back
I completed this drama about 24 hours ago and I'm still upset at the ending.
This drama spend 10 years on high school storylines, then about 12-13 episodes on college storyline and then 7 episodes making me regret me ever starting this (or career storyline).
I loved the first ten episodes. I thought it was moving and beautifully shot. You immediately empathized with the FL and wanted her to get the grades she needed. I liked the ML who stayed beside her even when she yelled at him (when she was upset about a grade/studying). He was a great support and behind the scenes supporter as well. I liked the manga storyline. I cried and laughed.
Then disaster.
It just all fell apart. They grew apart because they were in different cities and the plot just got messy. In the first 10 episodes I felt like we got to see all of the couples and their storylines. When we got to college it just was so boring. I felt like it was mostly just ML and FL and the people who wanted to get with them. The leads fought over the same things repeatedly, some of which was worth fighting over and some which didn't matter. It just became boring and generic. I started watching at like double speed just to try to get to their career story line.
We got to the storyline and I really thought the story was going to right it self for awhile. I was sorely mistaken as everything got messy and pointless. The ML pushes away the FL and then....he doesn't do much of anything? Everyone tells him he's stupid, he becomes an alcoholic, he starts working at a company doing computer stuff. The one thing that bothered the FL (which was having the pretty friend from college around, working with him at the same place while SFL liked the ML) the ML still did. He never stopped working with her and still kept a very close friendship. She even said she wanted to stay next to him in any capacity (which why?). I don't think he did anything different to move forward or get the FL back and he became very annoying/pathetic. It was like they had all these romantic elements put into place to show that the ML did miss and still love the FL but they weren't executed. It was bizarre. It just kept getting messier and messier until I just wanted the FL and SML to get together. I didn't care about the ML anymore.
This ending made me so mad. It was a very open ending that was very very very rushed and was so bland and boring. She runs to him because she figured out he really loved her and he found out the same thing about her and runs to her. So they are rushing to the same place and then they are staring and smiling at each other and then it cuts to black and it is over. I felt like the whole show was building towards this great reunion and then never did it. It was super unsatisfying.
Rewatch value: -10. Do not watch a first time.
