So Good Had To Review
I had a lot of fun from start to finish. There were endless plot twists and kept me at the edge of my seat for the whole ride in just 12/24 episodes. Even with no romance there was so much chemistry between the leads. I never write reviews but this time it was so good that I had to come here and write one because people are missing out on what I think was the best drama of 2020. The story asks the question "should we accept fate as it is or try to change it? will we be different if we changed it?"A great thrilling watch that is not very dark or horrifying but perfectly thrilling. so it is safe to watch for those who are little bit faint hearted.

A beautiful journey of friendships, trauma, school violence & result of bad parenting styles
I picked this drama up because I was intrigued by the story but I stayed for the characters and most importantly the phenomenal acting by the three young men.I cannot recommend this drama enough to everyone. The production and the acting is off the charts. The three boys gave it all their power into the acting. They brought the characters to life from a paper script.
Characters
The three main characters are Yeon Si Eun, Ahn Soo Ho and Oh Beum Sok. Ahn Soo Ho is a straightforward person and likes to live life freely on his own terms. He is a very hardworking person too and is able to get by from his jobs. He is very physically strong. He is also a strong personality and is street smart. He is unhinged and lives life on the edge. A little reckless to a fault. Yeon Si Eun oh my god where do I begin. He is very introverted and quiet. He is very book smart and is academically gifted. In the begining you will only seem him studying a lot in his class. Although smart, he is also reckless. Ahn Soo Ho brought all the emotions out of Si Eun. He made him smile for the first time and he made him cry for the first time. Yeon Si Eun is able to see what lies underneath people and sees Ahn Soo Ho for the caring person he is. Now coming to Oh Beum Sok. I also do not know where to begin with him. He is a very kind and loving person or could have been if it were not for the deep negativity he harbors within him win. I cannot go further into his character because it would become a spoiler.
Story & Production
The story is about three friends who go through fighting bullies at their school. The first half of the story is about the healthy relationship friendship bond the three make. The second half is about how loneliness and the darkness of our traumas can take over and ruin our lives and healthy relationships. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy that dooms us all and burns everything and everyone around us in the cross fire. The action and thrill you get from watching this story is like no other. It kept me intrigued through every minute of the show. It was exceptional story that kept me hooked. As for the production, the music and direction gave me goosebumps at times. And pulled me into the world of these three boys.
I gave it a slightly low rewatch value because if you watch the scenes again you might get triggered from the violence.

Bittersweet drama with an emphasis on VERY sweet
A lot of people are saying it had a sad ending. But I disagree it was a happy bittersweet ending (not to invalidate their feelings). It makes us think as viewers what really constitutes a happy ending. I recommend everyone to watch this because the story and characters are so sweet and made me feel things. acting superb. Nam Joo Hyuk special shout out he improved by leaps and bounds. So sad he is enlisting. Please read full review! <3 <3Let's talk about the ending first without spoiling anything. It was a very sweet almost sickenly sweet so it had to have some..., a lil, bitterness to give the final beautiful bitter sweet flavour. It's like dark chocolate with cranberries. The ending was very beautiful and felt like a dream. The relationships in this story were completed to a perfection. Each and very relationship received a beautiful alluring conclusion.
Na Hee do and Baek Yi Jin are sweet hearts to one another and the first loves of each other. Even though Yi Jin has dated others girls in high school none are like Hee do. Only Hee Do deserves being Yi Jin's first love. I am not making this up. Hee do and Yi Jin supported each other in life's hardest times and believed in each other when no one could. They were capable of anything and everything and were also capable of breaking up.
But don't worry the ending is not bad writing. The characters are all very well written and there is no troped cliche drama. It is a vanilla story and sweet. All the characters are precious cinnamon rolls that must be protected at ALL TIMES. Watch it and find out for yourselves. A sweet rivalry between two girls, two sweet heart lovers that grew into and out of each other, a sweet relationship that survived the ups and downs and long distances, two childhood friends who remained good friends and a queen who stood up for wrongdoing in her school. Watch it for these stories.
The acting was top notch. Kim Tae Ri made me believe I was really watching a reckless loving teenager, Na Hee Do. As expected from a seasoned actor ofcourse. BUTTT Nam Joo Hyuk OHHH MAAHHH GAWWWD. His acting has improved so much by leaps and bounds. Before 25-21 I was not a fan of Nam Joo Hyuk's works, although I liked weightlifting fairy. But now I have become a die hard Nam Joo Hyuk fan. I am even depressed that Nam Joo Hyuk is going to enlist in December. Hee do is a character that makes you want to do something. Because she is trying so hard to make her dream happen. And Kim Tae Ri made me want to do something too with her acting. The supporting characters and story is also very beautiful.
A drama everyone should watch!!!!! Bonus the OST's are nice too! JOOOOOOOO OOOOOO OOOO
