Once a loser, stays a loser.
*Updated Review - 8 episdoes*I’ve just finished all eight episodes, and I wish this drama was longer! It’s such a warm, nostalgic trip down memory lane, capturing the essence of college life, friendships, and young love. Set in the early 2000s, it brings back memories of first crushes, late-night talks, and figuring out life one step at a time.
The four main characters make this drama shine, their friendship feels so real, reminding me of the days when friends were our biggest cheerleaders and partners in crime. They tease, support, and stand by each other, making every moment special.
And then there’s the romance; awkward confessions, heartbreaks, and unrequited love, all portrayed in a way that’s both hilarious and painfully real.
Now that it’s over, I feel a little unsatisfied. The drama captures the raw reality of young love; messy, uncertain, and fleeting, but some questions felt unanswered, especially for the boys. While I wish for more closure, maybe that’s the point. Not every story wraps up neatly, just like in real life.
Even with its bittersweet ending, this drama was an emotional ride that made me laugh, reminisce, and wish for just a few more episodes.

4 friends experiencing love/relationships in their 20s
This is a really good short youthful rom com. 4 friends with different personalities. They are very close and care and support for each other.They are all shy and inexperience with relationships. They are very young so it is understandable. But it shows the reality of youths growing up, experiencing different relationships.
Min Gi character is so frustrating LOL is experiencing a real relationship for the first time but bro is so emotional.
Gi Hyeok, I didnt feel sorry for him because he didn't try clear up any misunderstanding before it was too late.
Gwang Jae, for me, I don’t think he is ready for a relationship.
Jun Seok - I had high hopes for him to be in a steady relationship because he seemed like the most sensible one of the bunch.
Fast forward, the 4 friends needed to grow and experience what love/relationship really means.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER WITH MORE EPISODES
I didn’t have high hopes for History of Lossers, but the early episodes (1-4) really impressed me! It’s a story about a group of boys embracing their so-called 'loser' status while navigating relationships and friendships. The dynamics of their friendship were a highlight for me, I loved how they always had each other’s backs.
MinGi was easily the most frustrating character, in my opinion. Plus, it felt like the controversy during filming impacted the conclusion, leaving the story unfinished. My favorite character was Ryeoun. Despite not having enough screen time or storyline development, he stood out as the foundation of their friendship group, quietly holding them together.
That said, the biggest downside was the episode length, it was too short! The rushed ending left so much unresolved, and Ryeoun’s storyline, in particular, deserved more attention. With more time to flesh out the characters and plot, the show could’ve been so much better. Still, it offered a heartfelt glimpse into the lives of boys and how they navigate their bonds and challenges.
