WAAAAY too long!

This show would have been great if they had gone to about episode seven and then cut to the last two episodes. The writing/storyline got on a continuous loop of stalled story! The middle episodes were almost painful for me to watch, because it felt like the writers threw every trite stumbling block at the characters, and the story STILL wasn't moving forward. And I was really bothered with how many bullies and evil people were in this, If I was school-age and moved to Korea, I'd be afraid to go to school. And the adults? Don't get me started! The second male lead's and Sunbae's transition to evil made no sense and was just another time wasting filler, I felt.

The lead actress was, in reality, only 14 when she filmed this. Some people were bothered by the age difference, but I didn't notice it, because there was one really bad kiss and a couple of hugs and that's it as far as skinship went.

The actors did an okay job with what they had to work with, The acting felt unnatural and forced in a few places, but that might have been due to the script.

I did love the mention of the ML looking like "that idol from Infin...I don't remember." Very clever. The soundtrack was good and lent itself to the feelings of loss when that was what was being conveyed.

Once again, you made us suffer through way too many episodes and the happy ending is the last five minutes of the show. So abrupt and unsatisfying.

So, if you've actually watched everything there is to watch and you've got some time to fill, watch the first few episodes and the last few. You'll get a complete picture of what is going on.
