wasted potential
when i watched i did it within a day since it was kinda addictive but the overall story was cliché as hell and the characters the worse except for hyeyeong imo.two best friends fell for the same girl but why? she was the poor girl but what was so special about her? we didn't get know anything about her personality, like her personality was her past. the protagonist was boring as hell to me and you never really root for her bc she is just.. yea boring lmao.
and ofc these two best friends kinda fought for her (i wonder why?! she isn't rlly worth it) and its so sad bc they were best friends and in the ending it's just over. idk how season 2 will be tho.
the concept was actually interesting with the love alarm and IF hyeyeong and jojo will get together and it should've started differently and jojo's whole character shouldn't be so plain th. and sun-oh is the worse. idk why many people hype him up bc he is just straightup selfish and betrayed his friend and BROO when sun-oh and jojo kissed in episode 1 i was like what?! you know damn well that your best friend likes her AND that she got a boyfriend- same way w jojo. it's just messed up and none of the characters are good except for hyeyeong and his mom. + the editing was good and the cinematogtaphy btw lol and the actors weren't bad.
the app with love alarm had so much potential and you could've written something more interesting with it. i kinda liked the webtoon better too so i'm only criticising the drama.

kinda boring
had other expectations. i watched this bc of kyungsoo but the movie was pretty predictable imo and nothing threw me off except when the role kyungsoo played wanted to go up to her smiling but she wasn't SPOILER there anymore bruh sad life man. but altogether i wouldn't watch it again tho maybe bc i'm not a fan of films set in older times i guess oopsie so you might like it cuz it wasnt bad.well i skipped much so i cant say much LMAOO sorry but man it rlly bored me (i need to have 500 characters so i basically keep repeating myself now hahah sorry)

great cinematography and good actors
i watched it bc of hwang inyeop (cant get enough from him, especially since TB ended now T_T) and i liked this story alot! the first episodes were quite boring ngl but after a few episodes it gets better. the story kinda makes me wanna go out on vacation w friends and meet new people haha.overall i could recommend this to everyone who wants to watch something short but still enjoyable and realistic.
the actors did a great job! (and as a HIY stan- i gotta say as his first acting role he is amazing and truly talented. but SPOILER kinda sad how his character didnt get his girl here too .. :( but at least she liked him here ha ha)

giving this a 10 bc of EXO
i watched it years ago but i guess i'll give a review now.this drama is just fanservice i guess so i wouldn't take the plot serious, i enjoyed watching it because of the exo members and seeing their acting that's it LMAO. basically if you are an exo-l or you like them you'll probably like exo next door but if not then it's not rlly it since the story is plain and you can easily predict what is going to happen next.
extra note: when your two biases of exo fight over a girl LMAO kyungsoo and chanyeol my favs <3

season 1 > season 2
i enjoyed season 1 alot and gave it even 10 stars but season 2 disappointed me alot. it isn't bad but after watching the first season my expectations were just different so i skipped alot, i guess because it focuses more on kim hana and i don't find her interesting. but the new characters such as cha ha-hyun or ryu joo-ha were refreshing and i liked them alot. tho they were never a moment where i was excited and wanted to know what's gonna happen next- to keep it short: it was boring but i'll still give it a 6.5 because of the cameos (LOL) and the actors, such as the OST.oh and spoiler: do hana and shi-woo's breakup was rlly '_' unnecessary but i guess they had to do it bc their actors were busy but it seemed like they kinda got together again in the end.

very enjoyable to watch
i enjoyed watching a-teen quite alot. the story is light-hearted and cute to watch tho it also contains some serious topics. the first season is more about the friendship among the friend group, which why i prefer this season over the second one. their friendship is just goals and seeing them hanging out is really fun but the romance which develops over time is adorable to watch as well. every character of them has their own charms and their own problems at home, which makes you relate to them (or i guess in my case at least). especially do hana, who is more in focus than the rest of the group in s1, is really a great character and you'll probably start liking her too because of her straightforwardness, and she is just cool haha ngl.overall i can truly recommend you this webdrama if you like a highschool slice of life which includes the romance and friendship aspects as well. i'll probably rewatch it some time because it was just very enjoyable to watch, every single episode of it! :)

makes u root for the second lead
the story was cliché and a love triangle never really there. the story was really predictable and pretty boring but the comedy and characters such as hyeeyeong, juyoung, soo-ah and ofc seojun made it better but ngl if it weren't for them i'd have dropped it pretty early.the second lead, seojun is the best i've ever seen on screen and i liked him in the webtoon as well. hwang inyeop made a awesome job portraying him and made me fall in love with his character even more. (spoiler) the ending for him is alright but i wish f.e. in the stairwell scene i wish someone saw him and comforted him, such as his friends or family bc it was unbearable to see him suffer when he always did his best and was so caring and just a good friend for suho and jugyeong. i didn't ship jugyeong and seojun since seojun truly deserved someone better who appreciated him but everytime he had scenes with her, it makes you root for him. but it was really painful to watch.
all in all i wouldn't recommend this drama if you have a second lead syndrome or u like bad boys with a soft heart. i dont even have a second lead syndrome but seojun just hit different (good joob HIY! :)). but the message of this story with true beauty was okay but the romance reaaaally boring and (spoiler) imo u kinda didn't care about the main couple bc it's so clear and predictable that they'll will end up together.
BUT the actors did a great job, i loved the WHOLE cast sm and the emotions were *chef's kiss* man i wish i could see them all together again just in another story.

chill story
sadly i can only find 3 episodes rn but i watched some compilations w hwang inyeop's scenes haha.the story is kinda boring to me but it is okay to watch it if you're doing something else as studying meanwhile since you don't really need to concenrate there haha. but boring doesn't mean bad tho! it's also chill and relaxing break from other drama and there are some funny scenes included too soo :) ++ the actors are good as well.
aaaand ofc if you like hwang inyeop, its a blessing (LOL SORRY) his fits are fire and i like his chill and laid-back character here. if u like HIY i can recommend u WHY, it's pretty good and even his first acting role but he did a great job! so talented. :b (lol sorry for my fangirling- BUT he deserves his recognation and i'm proud of how far he came tee-hee)
