I have a lot to say about this drama!! After watching the first episode, I decided to drop it but randomly continued to watch the 2nd ep after a few days and from there it got addictive and I binged it in 2 days straight!! The drama is nowhere perfect!! The story is the same basic story with the lesson of inner beauty! What raises it to a superior level is how self-aware the show is!! It’s supposed to be cheesy and cringey and the makers know it and capitalize on it which is the biggest strength of the show!! It was super funny at times..but it was also very hear touching where it was required!! All in all it had every ingredient of a good Teen drama!!
Coming to the characters, it comes as no surprise that Han Seo Jun was my favourite character!! But having said that I would also state that as a couple Su Ho and Joo Gyung worked better for me and I actually wanted them to be endgame despite Seo Jun being my favourite character!! Hwang In Yeop gave an amazing performance and showed his diverse range of acting!! Eun Woo was perfect for the role he was cast..I have heard a lot of complaints about his acting being stiff! I can’t judge from just this drama because here his acting suited the composed character that he played!! Ga Young’s performance also was good though her unnecessary aegyo voice irritated me a bit!!
The one major complaint I had was that the drama dropped in quality from the moment Su Ho and Joo Gyung became a couple! Nothing to do with their chemistry which was good!! It’s just the writing wasn’t as crisp after that as it had been till then! Also Kdramas really need to know when to stop and not keep on dragging just to complete 16 eps..This drama peaked at ep 14 with Joo Gyung realizing her worth and from there it just plateaued and never went high again!! If they would have wrapped up the show there itself, this would have been a far better show!! Still a pretty good time!! I definitely recommend to watch it once!!
