maybe I overestimated this drama bc of the reviews, but I still did enjoy it. Thankful it put me on to such a beautifully nostalgic song “Last Dance.” Like HYX said, it’s not that this disappointed me, I just had too many expectations
description is off, there's no social anxiety or dad drama. just a cute story of a precocious girl focused on studying, an aloof guy and their friends in the last year of high school. light and fluffy watch

“A fairytale is a cruel fantasy that illustrates the brutality and violence of this world in a paradoxical manner...not a hallucinogen that gives us hopes and dreams, it’s a stimulant that makes us face reality. Wake up from your dreams. Don’t look up at the stars in the beautiful night sky. Look down at your feet that are stuck in a filthy sewer. The moment you realize that and accept your reality, everybody be happy. Happy happy?” - Psycho But It's Okay/It's Okay To Not Be Okay
Movies: Rainbow Song, Radiance. Japanese directing leaves me with moving emotions. Dramas: My Mister, Because This is My First Life. Korean scripts give me a lot of comfort.
really like the FL's personality. light and funny so far, although MDL description doesn't match the plot. Landy Li and Lai Guanlin played exact opposite characters in My Huckleberry Friends and ALTCFL
the promo posters were tacky imo but i solely watched bc the FL is SO pretty and i was shook she was 17 when it was filmed. even more surprised that her acting was great and natural, chemistry off the charts. ML puppy/melo eyes and lips made me squeal. only the childhood friend and rushed ending were eh, but overall amazing drama. i wish it was way more popular
Couple or Trouble: 7.5 Rating. I watched it a year ago and was so surprised a drama from 2006 didn't feel outdated or draggy at all. Han Ye-Seul's best role, she made me laugh so much, I hope she does another one like it. Oh Jiho is eye candy and heart fluttering.
