This is strictly about Eps. 3-5 (GO WATCH NOW!)

I was hesitant to watch this show because A.) I do not normally watch web dramas and B.) I like committing to completing the dramas I watch, I didn't want to skip around. HOWEVER, I just could not resist this drama, it was everywhere on all my social media feeds so eventually I just gave in.

I tried watching episodes 1-2 and 6-7, but I could not get into the first story line and I had already spoiled the third story for myself out of excitement and it left me disappointed. Taking all of this into account I decided to just check out the middle episodes to see what all the hype was about and I ended up thoroughly enjoying it.

What was so good about it?

1. Friends to couple done right! The two main leads were soooo cute and likable and their transition into liking each other wasn't awkward or lacking in any way.
2. It was realistic, in that unlike other school based dramas where anything over a rating of PG-13 is never mentioned or acknowledged, here it was embraced. This drama approached these subjects in a hilarious and relatable way that I found charming rather than harsh or unpleasant.
3.I loved that there was no mean second lead female and instead the FL made a new friend that added much more to the story.
4. The FL held conservative views on the physicalities of being in a romantic relationship and stuck to her beliefs until the end. I liked that she didn't change (not that otherwise thinking is wrong), but I like that she was confident enough to follow what she felt and go at her own pace it was a refreshing take.
5. KIM NAM HO, so fine, so charismatic, and in the end so adorable. What he said in the end to the FL's question had me screaming!!! I felt like I had to rewatch everything again to re-analyze their interactions. The amount of times I replayed that single scene, it was endless....


If you need a quick drama fix, just want to kick back and embrace the quirks of hilarious high school love, this is the one for you. Its endearing and warrants more episodes, I am sad that the story was only 3 episodes long and not even its own singular drama. I hope they make a remake with more episodes or something similar. I also expect to see more main lead roles from both Yoon Hwan (Kim Nam Ho) and Jo Yoo Jung (Ban Yu Ra).



The only slightly irritating thing that had a little redemption:

Ban Yu Ra (FL)'s "bestfriend," Kang Da Hyun was so irritatingly 'innocent,' tbh it felt like mostly an act. What kind of friend does that? But also Kang Da Hyun's pushy-ness to double date and have the FL take pics of her kissing her ex-boyfriend. These situations made me want to claw at the screen. I understand that everyone has the right to their happiness and like good for her for finding someone she loves, but it was mostly at the expense of Ban Yu Ra. I was so glad that FL took a break from her supposed BFF at the end, and expressed how uncomfortable she felt. I wish that KDH would have come to FL first and told her everything because her having to find that out on accident was probably more hurtful. KDH would have been a good character and likable if it didn't feel like she was purposefully being naive and aggravatingly irreproachable.
