Anniversary Anyway (2019)

This story was refreshing, especially because it focused on the lives and experiences of high school students. It was incredibly relatable and enjoyable to watch. From the first episode to the last, the drama never disappointed me, and I found myself connecting with the characters and their stories quite easily.

What I loved most was how well it portrayed the experiences and emotions that teenagers go through, especially when experiencing love for the first time. It was also really cute to watch how these six characters developed their relationships with one another, especially since they were all connected in one way or another.

Each episode focused on a different couple, with each relationship being explored over a few episodes. This made it fun to watch because we got to see a variety of personalities, relationship dynamics, and different perspectives on love. I also really enjoyed the music—it perfectly captured the sweet, fluffy, and upbeat feeling of the romance.

Honestly, the interesting characters alone were enough to keep me watching this series.

**Spoilers ahead!**

The drama explores different situations and emotions, such as:

* How first love isn't always reciprocated.
* How people can sometimes feel inferior to others, even if only temporarily, as seen with Gong Yoo Jin and Chae Si Yi.
* How we often compare ourselves to others unconsciously.
* The different insecurities, misunderstandings, and emotions that come with young love.

There are many more themes explored throughout the story, which is one of the things I appreciated about it.

That being said, I felt that quite a few episodes were primarily focused on developing Yang Hong Seok and Na Yun's relationship. While I understand the need to give their story enough time to develop, I personally found myself more invested in the other four characters and wished they had received more screen time.

I especially loved Gong Yoo Jin and Gu Yun Seung. I absolutely craved their scenes while the series was airing! They were just so adorable together, and I honestly wanted so much more of them. Their chemistry and dynamic were one of my favorite parts of the drama, and I couldn't help but wish the show had given them more moments together.

Overall, this was a sweet, refreshing, and enjoyable watch, especially if you like coming-of-age stories that explore teenage friendships, first love, insecurities, and relationships.

Just okay for a mini-series

I do like the show but doesn't really that impactful. I decided to watch this when I saw the curly guy and the girl with eyeglasses scene on Facebook. Their story is actually my favorite among the rest of the characters.

The story is all about falling for someone, I am smiling the way each one of them were introduce in the show.

Having a crush on someone can be either gives you butterflies or gives you a heartbreak. I love how they showcase realistic highschool romantic ideas

But...

I don't get the connection of it's title from the main story. What kind of anniversary are they celebrating? I read the sypnosis but doesn't really find it at the drama. Also, the story seems to be all over the place. It was a little bit messy.

Anyways, this will actually going to be more than good if they lengthen the duration and give more clearer ending to each character. Specially to the curly guy and eyeglasses girl, I want to see more of them.
