Buttoned up doesn't mean emotionless, but bland might
There's a scene midway through this story where the FL lead remarks that Ji Soo-ho (played by Yoon doo-joon) speaks the language of silence. I thought that was beautifully put. He doesn't do Acting 101, he doesn't give a theatre-style performance, but you're never left in any doubt about his emotional state - his love for the FL, his pain at his family situation, his jealousy of the FL/2ML dynamic, and his bewilderment at lots of commonplace things.
Sadly, I can't say the same about Kim So-hyun as Song Geu-rim. For someone who had no problem having full-on screechy meltdowns in the first episode, her interactions with the ML are curiously bland, pallid, and listless. Her affection for Soo-hoo was almost imperceptible. I think she was more interested in modeling lipgloss than performing.
Meanwhile, almost everyone else was overacting - though not always to the story's detriment. Both Yoon Park as Lee Kang and Kwak Dong-yeon as Jason gave us crazy, over the top and Oh Hyun-kyung as Nam Joo-ha was suitably villainous.
The story was fine, plain, nothing new. The side stories/secrets weren't really developed but weren't confusing. I wouldn't watch it again but I would like to see more dramas featuring some of the actors - particularly Yoon doo-joon and Kwak Dong-yeon.
