Heartwarming, and beautiful

** I didn't read the manhwa so this is fully on my perspective as a viewer of the drama.

PLOTS

First, of course the story. This web drama is basically a light mini-series thus the plots of this drama is not that complicated, basically easy to understand, easy to follow the flow. It started with some fresh beginning, everything going on smoothly but somehow there's a little glitch towards the end. I don’t want to spoil it to new viewers but all I could say is that the writer decides to compress everything there, thus making it seems a little rush but thankfully it's going well towards the end. I believe this story is not completed yet because there’s a lot of things that’re not happening yet, but if they do want it left cliff-hanging just like this, I think it’s fine. The main couple already got their happy ending, and we can’t imagine how bad some characters would be later in another season (if it’s based on the manhwa.)

SETTINGS

It's basically a typical high school kind-of story so for sure they focused on them being highshoolers//teenagers. Having to deal with academic, talent, bully, and free-spirit things are one of the things focused on here. Above all that, this series values friendship and love the most, how important to have someone who will be there when you're in need. Someone to understand and help you when you’re needing them. This value is the most beautiful thing happen in this story.

CHARACTERS

The main leads; Gong Ju-young, played by Park Jihoon. His character really is a cute and fresh one, literally a high-spirit teen which is so blinded by love towards the female lead, Wang Ja-rim. Some of his scenes are weird, childish and unpredictable yet making sense to the drama itself, a romance-comedy drama and somehow portray our real life when we were at their ages. Park Jihoon's character is also this lively and fresh, justifying him playing the role of Ju-young, and he really did great in in his character. For the female lead, Wang Ja-rim played by Lee Ruby. At first, I find it a little uncomfortable to see her playing the role because she seems a little awkward. I don't know if that really is her character in manhwa so please forgive me if it is. Ja rim's character is actually fun to look at, because we don't know what would she do when she's with Ju-young. She can be very tough, scary but at the same time, she's also can be cute and kind to others around her.

Move on to the 2nd lead; Lee Kyungwoo, played by Kim Younghoon. To be honest, as his first acting role he played his character really well despite being 180⁰ different in real life. I heard that he attended an acting academy before being an idol so I guess that’s explained well. His character is a big one, he played a role as the best friend, the mature and and the problematic one to the story. The problem of him being the 2nd lead is that his chemistry with Ja-rim is not that strong since they didn't have many scenes being just two, plus the writer kind of hurry things up. Above all that, honestly, he played Kyungwoo’s character flawlessly so I’d really hope there’ll be more acting opportunities for him in the future.

As for Minji, Jung Daeun played her character really well, being the sad girl in the story, holding everything in her heart; really does portray a teen who has a crush on someone, but couldn’t express herself. Apart from all that, we have characters that making we smile through the story which is Ah-ram (WJSN Dayoung), Byunghoon (Ko Chanbin), Kyungmin (Ahn Dokyu) and Seunghee (Hong Jinhee). They has made us full of laughter throughout the whole series and I’m so thankful for that.

That’s all my review for this cute web drama. Whoever thought about watching this, go on. You’ll never regret it. ^^
