Sometimes we all need a good cliche in our lives
This movie was cliche in every sense of the word, yet it never feels bad in any way, if anything, its the same 'cliches' that really complete this movie. The way It uses old cliches we've seen over and over again and presents them in such a great way that they don't feel like tired tropes, but instead fresh ones, is so great. Not once did I feel bored watching the movie no matter how 'predictable' the plot can become, and that's all in part because of the terrific performance between the 2 main leads. Darren plays the bad boy persona soo well, he's a true heartthrob which works perfectly well (seriously, the way he smirks gives me heart eyes every time) and Vivian was a natural in this role. The way she plays the quirky unpopular girl and it not being forced was great. Place these 2 great actors with even greater chemistry and you have the recipe to a wonderful romantic comedy film.And that's what this is, a wonderful feel good romantic comedy film. Seriously, give it a shot. I promise you'll enjoy it.

Finish this season first
The ending of this drama kept setting up season 2 that it forgot to wrap up it's this season first, and it sucks.I actually don't have that much of a problem with this drama, sure the writing isn't top notch, and some characters were annoying, but apart from other minor nitpicks, it was still a solid and entertaining show. My only gripe with it is the inclusion of Se Eun. She was such a.. nothing character. We don't know who she is and we learn next to nothing of her other than that she was bullied and committed suicide. Which sucks the most because she's such an important character, she's basically the catalyst for the entire show and yet we don't care about her. The ending expects you to sympathize with the parents but it's hard to do that because we knew next to nothing about Se Eun, we didn't form any emotional bonds with her as a character and we were never given a chance to do so.
I feel what would've been better is a flashback episode dedicated to bringing Se Eun to light and showing the viewers who she is as a character, it should've shown So Min and the rest of the mafia/bullies as horrible people so their deaths become all the more satisfying. They also should've shown the aftermath of the deepfake thing to really nail in just how much Se Eun suffered and make the viewers sympathize with her even more. It just shows her getting teased for like a minute and then done. What? Maybe they could've shown Se Eun getting harassed by other male characters, or her losing out on opportunities because of the video, all of it which would impact her in great ways. But alas it just falls back onto the main problem that we don't know who Se Eun reallt is. It would've cleared so much mystery surrounding her character and maybe made the viewers actually care about the parents and her su!cide.
Which brings me back to my main point, the writers kept on setting up a season 2 that they forgot to finish this season first. The endings sucked because it was very clearly just a segue to the next season and not actually an ending to this one. I'm not sure if this drama has been renewed already, but I sure hope so if the writers are so confident in centering the entire season's ending as a segue to season 2. If it hasn't been renewed yet though, well that would've been just pointless.
