Has its good parts but is formulaic

This started out pretty endearing — I liked that the main girl was the one with high grades, and that the guy was teasing but kind and had his dream of dancing. However, I think it quickly became too formulaic, with all the typical school cdrama plots (sports day, talent show, tutoring, etc.) and none of the character or plot development.

The main girl's passiveness quickly became really annoying, and it was like she never had a good verbal reaction to second lead and never had a conversation with her parents and never had her own thoughts unless she was judging main lead without knowing all the facts. Even past the time jump her actions made no sense and made her seem clingy still; It's fine if she started out like this but staying this way for 24 episodes was too.

Overall, the time jump just wasn't enjoyable and the future plot was very anticlimactic after using a very common trope for it.

I also just wish we got to learn more about the side characters so that they didn't feel second-rate; I really liked the second pairing's banter but their story was left behind.
