Wafer-thin plot
I stumbled across this while searching for some web dramas to watch and thought why not. I should have just passed up on it. Let's break this down:
The plot:
The most cliche high-school love story ever with none of the good aspects about that cliche. It's wafer-thin at times, and stuff gets randomly dropped for no reason (SPOILERS: for example, the band competition they were entering). The writers placed the love story in a school settings, yet didn't take any advantage that type of settings would give the story; in other words, this story would have been the same if the writers had simply placed it within a workplace setting, on an extraterrestial setting, or wtvr instead, which makes the story incredibly generic. The love story was too focused upon, but a good love story is elevated by fleshing out the environment, the people, etc. around that story, and that simply didn't happen here. And yet, despite focusing on the love story solely, for 99% of the series, literally nothing happens. You could honestly watch the first episode, watch like an episode in the middle, and then the last episode and you'd have most of the story. And yes, I understand that it's a web drama with limited time to flesh out things, but look at Love Playlist, or even A-Teen (which I didn't even like that much) being able to write out concrete plots within their time constraints.
The acting
Ranges from YIKES to meh. This is Miyeon's first role (I think?) and to be completely honest, she wasn't very good most of the time to downright bad when the plot requires a little bit of emotions. She had like two face expressions the entire series, which wasn't helped by the thin plot. The ML's acting was wtvr, also quite lacking, though at least he makes it believable that his character was this awkward and silent dude. The rest were just bad, ranges from either overacting in a way that makes it completely unreal, to severe underacting with literally 0 emotions whatsoever.
Music
Your very basic OSTs. Certainly not a Reset-level from School 2015 song or anything.
Rewatch Value
No, just no.
