I'd been binging on crazily plotted Lakorns that this one caught me by surprise at how normal the story is. I thought Thai rom-coms are way too silly for me to enjoy that I'd only been trying Lakorns with heavy themes lately. But I am a new fan of Push after watching Roy Leh Sanae Rai so I decided to give this one a go. And what do you know, it was the best decision ever! This is such a fun watch; a well done friends to lovers story. The leads are so adorable. The whole drama is dripping with cuteness in a really good way. And when things get serious, they pack an emotional punch as well.

I'll admit, at first, it was somewhat difficult to watch the female lead on screen because her skin problem looks too realistic. But I have to give props to the drama and to the actress for willing to depict it in such a way. It's something many suffer from at some point in their lives. I went through that phase myself, so I resonated with the heroine's insecurities. And the drama succeeds in showing that it's your heart that makes you beautiful because I found the heroine really adorable. She may be "ugly" on the outside but she comes across genuinely as kind and caring that I felt she is lovable, just like the way the other characters in the drama sees her. Push's character is a flirt but an all around good guy, the kind of senior you'd definitely fall for at school. Their love story is simple and there are many squee-worthy moments between the leads. I will note that the main conflict in the story isn't as concrete as I would have liked but the well written dialogue makes up for it. Also, the supporting cast is delightful! I liked the lively campus atmosphere they created; I really wanted to hangout with them.

All in all, a breezy, mood-lifting watch!
