Simple college drama

-May be spoilers-

Story:

With a mysterious love letter in the background, the story pans around college students with typical troubles like dating, money, clubs, classes, friendships etc. Nothing groundbreaking sure but lighthearted. The six main characters surprisingly all have their own wholesome traits and I learned some things too.

Story-wise I wish there was less DRAMA and more fluff- why not? I don't know why writers had to insert recycled toxic characters & give them so much screentime. There were tropes from the last decade which felt unrealistic for busy college students. Rosa would always magically appear in front of Jimin/Haneul for the sole purpose of causing misunderstandings and so much was predictable. Haneul Jimin's story got boring by the end and made little sense. Less stress from the other four MCs. Since it's a college drama it wouldn't hurt to have more college events and meetups in place of stressful characters who ultimately contributed nothing much but stress.

Cast Acting:

I'm so thankful they released this drama in the end because I really wanted to see Jaehyun's acting and he did well! I always liked Park Hyesoo on screen and she was good here too. (Hope that she's innocent in her case and is able to return to acting because if she's innocent then it's such a shame...) I was looking forward to their chemistry and they didn't disappoint.

My favourite characters were Young because she's rational and Mokjin because he's considerate and clean and that's underappreciated lol. They did well.

The other actors were decent too, nothing deep but just appropriate for how this drama's characters are written.


Music:

I heard an OST or two but they weren't memorable.


Rewatch value:

If I rewatch it'll probably be for characters Jooah & Minho. One of the best friends to lovers pairs done right, they were cute, cared about each other and were there to support each other at their most important moments, which is wholesome. Idk if such long time friends can become lovers irl but yeah.
