Everything about it is stupid
The characters are stupid. The story is stupid. Just... give it a miss.
The most offputting thing for me was that the lead male was so unlikeable. The was he treats Go Min Nam at the beginning is simply abusive. Yes he *kind of* has a character arc, but nowhere near enough to make up for his initial behaviour. He's basically just narcissistic eyeliner with stupid hair.
I could not bring myself to believe that Go Min Nam liked him. Especially when there was Shin Woo: kind, intelligent, perceptive, and the best looking of the bunch. Why on earth she picked Tae Kyung after the constant bullying is beyond me.
At best, this drama didn't age well. At worst, it sends a damaging message to young girls: that if you put up with abusive treatment and keep apologising for who you are, a man will eventually come to like you. Urgh.
They could have made so much more of Jeremy's storyline - discovering his sexuality and accepting himself for who he is. But no: the guy he liked is actually a girl so it's all fine and he's COMPLETELY STRAIGHT (he isn't)
I gave it an extra half star for the scene about fanfics, which was legit hilarious.
