It was a really good show and I like how it was realistic. It made sense why the FL was embarrassed about being bullied, and while her actions were annoying there was a reason behind them. What I also like is how when the ML did doubt her for a second but immediately came to his senses and realized he was wrong. He was also probably one of her biggest supporters, since she had many that she made in this new friend group. Lastly the romance aspect was adorable, it was sweet and it fit the way the two characters acted. There was no unnecessary tension but instead a calm vibe which fit them. Though I would have liked a kissing scene it made sense why one never took place. I also like the side couples who were in the story. One of them was a couple which had already formed before the story. Through them we saw some relationships problems and while they did break up they eventually got back together. However when they got back tighter they didn’t simply just get back together but instead they grew as people and actually learned from the reason they broke up. The second couple we saw one they never actually formed but it was still cute to see. The guy was in love with the girl but also understood her boundaries and how she didn’t want to be in a relationship. This didn’t stop him from liking her because he believed that while he liked her that didn’t mean she owed him anything.Was this review helpful to you?
if you need a comfort show
i love this drama fr. the characters are all so damn lovable in their own way. the storyline is so engaging, even if a few episodes felt kinda slow and boring i think they could’ve skipped a few and it wouldn’t have changed a thing . that's honestly the only negative thing i've got to say beside this everything is perfect.this drama is just such a comfort show like a lil safe place you go back to, even though some scenes hit hard and leave you emotionally wrecked .
Major soft spot for the romance between Jung Dabin and Hwang Minhyun. their dynamic was soft, genuine, and just insanely cute you can feel the chemistry between them, it’s real i was living for every scene . their story is adorable and they’re just too cute together

i 1000% recommend it, but BIG warning: once it’s over, going back to real life hits so fucking DIFFERENT
real talk: i would’ve LOVED a romance between Baek Horang and Ji Sohyun… like?? the sapphic energy was right there

I loved it!
I started watching this drama with low expectations. At first, I was really debating on whether to watch this or not because of the reviews and comments. I'm also not a big fan of fluff, so i thought I wouldn't enjoy this.However, I was pleasantly surprised! I never thought I'd like it, but I just do! Others said it was boring, but I slightly disagree. The drama was short and sweet, and it wasn't dragging, 8 eps was perfect.
The casting was amazing, I enjoyed how each of the actors/actresses played each role, and I found myself searching up all of the cast members. The music... was not bad, just forgettable, I didn't even notice the music.
The ending was nice. It left me wanting more, but it still felt complete. Overall, I think it's not bad at all! (P.S. I NEED A BYUNGCHAN MAIN LEAD NOW, AFTER SEEING HIM ACT)

Truly worth it!
I am quite hesitant to start watching this show with the taught that it might be the typical high school drama with all the cliché and nothing special. But I am totally WRONG!Though many of the elements of a Korean high school drama is present, especially the theme of bullying, it was given another angle and perspective. The actors were all effective and very fit to their respective roles. Acting were all on point or even going beyond that, making the series more realistic. Hats off!
And my most important point. HAHAHA. Is it only me? I am obsessed with the cuteness of Kim Yoo Shin! I mean who doesn't? He's such a sweetheart. He made many scenes in the series happy and bright and I know many of you were smiling everytime he appears in a scene. I hope to see him more in many dramas. PLEEEEEEEASE!
Worth viewing. You should see it.

If you want a story, romance or sense : you can skip this show (I'm serious)
I am extremely disappointed. This drama makes no sense. The characters are really empty.. the main story is incomprehensible: a popular girl became a bully because she was harassed? she also wants to hide her secret because she is afraid of being rejected by her friends?? Honestly, the only reason for my rating are the secondary characters who are super interesting. The main character is unbearable: she talks badly to everyone, she's hyper aggressive and she's not very well acted. The dialogues are also really bad...it's embarrassing. It was very hard to finish it.Spoiler take care :
The bad guy is a girl that the main character just met once

Such an Unexpected Delight!
The lives of two polar opposite students collide as one desperately seeks answers to a mysterious person’s identity & the other works to keep his school club afloat.The FL’s the most popular girl in school. Famously aloof, almost the whole school follows every post of this social media star. But now someone is threatening to expose her secrets & she’s doing whatever it takes to protect the facade she’s carefully constructed to protect herself.
The ML’s the head of the broadcasting club. He doesn’t care for social media so when the FL seeks his assistance, he’s unwilling to cater to her simply because she’s popular. If she wants answers to the questions she’s asking, he requires her to become a club member & do the work just like everyone else.
Okay - I love this mini drama. And I don’t want to say a lot for fear of giving too much away, so just go watch it. It has a really good message about not judging people off of rumors & hearsay; how everyone has a story to tell; that bu!lying is a very serious matter that wreaks havoc on people’s lives; & that having just one person who believes in you can give you the courage needed to face a scary future. And writing this short review just makes me want to go watch this wonderful gem all over again! 🩵🩵

GO-TO DRAMA
it's great!- the storyline is amazing. it's my favorite go-to ongoing drama whenever i want to feel some comfort and sincerity.
- this drama is so precious to me. baek horang's friends are the types of friends we people need.
^ tbh, i don't want this drama to end but at the same time i do think this drama is good as an 8-ep drama instead of the usual 16-ep drama.
if you want to watch some light drama, go watch this. you won't regret. it's a high school set-up but the storyline is unique!

this was so enjoyable to watch! my face rn- :D
I didn't know what to quite expect of this drama, but what it turned out to be was GREAT all the same! It was a really enjoyable watch, and as the plot unfolded I found myself becoming more and more invested. This isn't as romance heavy as the other few dramas I have watched so far so I wasn't sure if I was going to like it as much, however, I realised that things as well as the romance made me want to continue watching, which is a sign of a genuinely good plot in my eyes- I wasn't just watching for the cute moments but for the driving force of the entire thing, it wasn't annoying or tiresome or boring, but actually had me pretty damn hooked.Aside from the fact that this is a legit really great story, we mUST ADDRESS THE CUTE MOMENTS EEEEE!!! Yup, super duper cute, we love to see it, I really loved the interactions between the couples, the characters were consistent and their personalities really shone through whenever they were on screen, they were SOOO well written and I love them all!!! I wanna be part of this friendship group it seems so lit omg. Also can I just say something: Eun Taek's hair in episode 8... when you get to it you'll know what I mean just YES the whole fit he really do be serving heck yea Eun Taek there's something for y'all to look forward to lol
I have to highlight a particular thing I really appreciate about this drama: how well the friendship develops amongst the main characters. I think that the friendship aspect of this drama is probably the most important and I have to admit the writers did a REALLY GOOD JOB with it. There comes a point in the drama where I was like "Hang on... I can't ever imagine you guys not being friends". Their friendship journey was sosososo natural that I didn't even notice it happening, it wasn't shoehorned in as a plot point, it just, *happened* like how it would in real life and I just loveeeee that.
ALSO THE SONGS ARE BOPSSSSSSSS OMGGGGG LIKE EVERY TIME THE EPISODE ENDED OR PEOPLE LOOKED INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES I PREPARED MYSELF TO DANCE IN MY SEAT I ACTUALLY LOVED IT LIKE BRUHHH 'YOUR LIGHT'>>>>>>>> SONG OF MY SUMMERRRRRR
I think this drama has the *perfect* balance of juicy plot, friendship GOALSSS and pure wholesome romance. Overall: a wonderful all rounder if you want a bit of everything!!! :))

Worthy Binge!?
I watched this because it had Choi Yeonjun as a cameo (and as a baby moa and a k-addict, I couldn't resist). It unexpectedly had an amazing storyline and slow burn that I certainly craved. All that character development had me spinning in such a good way. The side characters were *chef's kiss*. It has 9 episodes of 1 hour and its such a good binge series! But I suggest watching this in one shot so you have no regrets. The only thing negative about this is that its an easily forgettable series that you will not remember while listing down worthy rewatches. All I can say is WATCH IT!Was this review helpful to you?

Cute, short, and sweet
This 8 episode series was honestly just a delight to watch. It has a very cute romance plotline that did antagonistic romance well, and some good side plotlines as well. I really appreciated how much all the characters felt pretty flushed out, which is especially commendable to the show considering its episode count. All the characters, side characters included, really seemed like real teenagers with real problems, navigating their interpersonal relationships, and figuring out themselves.**SPOLIERS**
I do have to say, I am pretty disappointed when we finally get Ho-Rang's full backstory. I try not to be too harsh since 1) I'm sure show didn't want to get too dark considering its breezy tone, and 2) people respond to traumas differently. However, I did feel like show could have gone a little harsher with Ho-Rang's bullying. It was just an extremely built-up plotpoint that, when it finally was revealed, you were just kind of like...that's it? Just considering the severity of the bullying we see in shows such as Who Are You: School 2015 or even True Beauty, this seemed a bit mild. But then again, I've never been bullied so I fully admit I don't have the best gauge with what can do irrevocable harm to someone. I would just have preferred a little more depth.
**END SPOILERS**
It's a short and sweet show that feels a bit like a hidden gem, as other reviewers have pointed out. I highly recommend for people who want to watch a sweet little high school romance with a light mystery plot and themes of bullying.

Short, cute and very engaging
First things first, I absolutely like how to the point and straight forward this drama is without having unnecessary cliche plots to extend the episode count.This feels like a warm hearted hug that envelops you in the cuteness of it all. The actors have all done justice to their roles. I'm new to all of these actors and it was very refreshing to see their work, all have been good. It's cute how all the three love stories are nice, not overdramatic or unreal and have no third party tropes like second leads. As for the third couple, the story itself revolves around her meeting many men, so I don't count that as second lead. It's multiple leads. xD
I also quite enjoyed the friendship between all the people and how their characters developed over time. It is very heartwarming to watch. I also enjoyed the true friendship between the three women and how you see them supporting one another at different times. Though my fav friendship has to be the one between Yoo Shin and Ho Rang. It is hilariously cute.
For a change, we see a cold and aloof female lead as compared to the usual male leads and I quite enjoyed it. They have nicely developed the story and shown her diversity and range. I liked her chemistry with the ML although I would've preferred more hands-on romantic scenes but with her being underage (apparently) at the time of shooting, I'm glad they didn't.
Lastly, I'm at crossroads whether I liked the way they handled the bullying plot or not. At times I feel like it was well handled because it was shown as real as possible with showing the difficult choices victims make when speaking about their experiences. It throws light on how it is not easy to open up and come clean, all of which people think is very easy when they keep asking people to report such issues. However, at the same time, I do not think the FL's attitude and behaviour at most times was justified because of her experiences. She might not be a bully but she definitely comes across as one which is not a good place to be in specially when you've experienced it yourself. There is a thin line between ignorance and arrogance and this one leaned very heavily on arrogance for me which is why this does not get the perfect score from me.
Overall it's a very pleasant and enjoyable watch, 100% recommended. Very underrated. :)
