bittersweet.

What makes this series different is that the plot isn’t cliché (imo), because the ML isn’t the one the FL has a crush on. He’s not the typical cool, smart, rich guy we see in most c/kdramas. He has his own imperfections and he isn’t afraid to speak his mind. He can be sassy and mean sometimes, but as time goes on, he starts embracing his vulnerable side and he’s not ashamed of it whatsoever. The FL is pretty immature and silly, but she’s a loyal friend. They have an interesting relationship. I liked how they went from enemies, to best friends and then later lovers. I just wish it hadn’t taken them so long to make it official, because for that reason the end felt a bit rushed. It definitely left the viewers with some questions unanswered, but nothing major, so Ig it’s alright. Another thing I wasn’t very fond of was when the ML had s3x with the FL when she was drunk in the last ep (I know it was consensual, but it still felt wrong). Overall, this drama wasn’t bad. It has everything, first loves, friendships, breakups, misunderstandings and it also teaches us that sometimes we have to let go of things and move foward. I liked the actors’ performance a lot, especially the main characters’. Watching their lives unfold throughout their high school and university years made me feel like I was growing up with them. I’ve watched this drama twice (only watched it up until the 17 ep the first time though), so I probably won’t rewatch, but it’s definitely worth a watch. :)
