+ xingback approved female lead, as a teen or an adult I really liked the fl, she was normal and realistic
+ short but enough story
+ friends to lovers
things I didn't like
- the flashbacks, you'd not expect a short 8eped drama to repeat every scene ;D
- the cliche evil 2nd lead and the silly rumors ;/
- the inevitable breakup, though it was probably for the better, they were too young for a life long commitment

Short but worth it
The drama itself is very short. You can even finish it in less that on hour, but inspite of its duration, the storyline is meaningful. It doesn't have those extra plots just to make the drama longer. It's straight to the point. The actors and actresses also did a great job giving us that irresistible factor to the protagonists to the point where we'll want to hurt the antagonists. Also, the music was good. I like it and it's relaxing. I guess just depends on the genre you like. Lastly, I would totally recommend this, especially to those who wants to watch web dramas or dramas in general that doesn't have too much stuff going on. Like, it won't stress you out. Instead, I was smiling the whole time. It's just too cute.Was this review helpful to you?
It was short, yes, but they managed to actually present a nice story. The main character was nice and the couple had chemistry and that helped a lot with the story. The ending was pretty great too. The side character was, however, annoying, and they didn't properly confront her. Finally, the performances from all actors and actresses of the cast were pretty good and enjoyable. The kissing scenes were really nice too.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

I was annoyed a lot watching this
This was a cute friends to lovers story. I liked watching them getting to know one another, but wow, the repeated scenes in such a short drama, getting different points of view, I know, but come on! I liked watching the leads together and even though the editing was pretty choppy, I liked watching the progression of how they came to like one another.However, I hated the evil girl/triangle story. For being such a short drama, she got too much time in the story. I didn't like the bullying or how the FL never told the ML what was actually going on. Learn to communicate! I was also bothered by the fact that the evil girl started these terrible rumors, which everyone believed, and they spread like wildfire, but there were no consequences for the evil girl. Also, if everyone is very vocal in trash talking the FL, there is no way the ML wouldn't have heard anything.
The time jump was necessary but confusing in that the characters looked pretty much the same and hadn't aged at all.

Short but in a good way
The story although short was very realistic. I really like watching short dramas even though I know it also means that usually they are very fast paced and lack in the quality of the plot. In this one I happyly have to say that there was nothing like that. This is a realistic story without unnesesery additions, which is extremly uncommon in almost every TV series and movie nowadays.It's light, the music is well fitted to the mood, and is very relaxing to watch.
Actors in my opinion did a fantastic job and didn't try to oversell their emotions.

Come for the charm, stay for the feels—leave before the sequel ruins everything.
I went into this drama expecting the usual: recycled tropes, awkward pacing, maybe some forced cuteness. But this certainly surprised me. What starts out as low-stakes teen fluff slowly builds into an emotional ride with real momentum. It's not dramatic in the heavy sense, but it managed to stir things up just enough to make me care—and feel.The meet-cute setup worked better than it had any right to. A flirty prankster morphs into a genuine love interest, and the transition doesn’t feel forced. There’s something refreshing about watching their chemistry unfold, even if the jealous third wheel shows up right on cue. Obligatory mean-girl archetype included, but she’s less of a threat and more of a checkbox.
Is it groundbreaking? No. But it’s decent. The pacing doesn’t drag, the emotional beats aren’t overplayed, and you get enough character movement to feel satisfied. A reliable comfort watch—nothing profound, but polished enough to avoid cringe. It lands somewhere in the middle between breezy distraction and real connection.
Just don’t follow it into Season 2. That installment showed up with a personality transplant and a warning label. The tone unravels, characters flatten out, and whatever spark Season 1 had quietly fizzles. Watch the first, skip the sequel—unless you’re collecting disappointment for sport.
