This was a short fun drama to watch, could it of been longer? yes, but it was paced nicely, enough time to show development in relationships and enough for the story to flow and an interesting mystery to keep you guessing. The cinematography was one word, GORGEOUS, the scenery , the colors and just the beautiful angles that are aesthetically pleasing
The romance and friendship is a big part of the drama, especially the trio of unlikely friends, I loved the diversity of characters and how different each one was.
The mystery was intriguing but nothing too original, but it was fun to watch with a comedic spin on it, but the school violence seemed pretty unrealistic and confusing at times when is done in plain sight.
I liked the acting, each actor felt like they fit each character well with the personalities. I wish we saw more of Don Hyuk's and his girlfriend's backstory more though .
The music was average not really any songs I would put on my playlist.
Overall the drama was enjoyable and really pretty to watch It's an easy watch and is fun, with comedic and serious scenes which balance each other out.
