Loved the Series, Hate the Format

I dont care what others say, i reallly hate this 2minute vertical series format - something that is designed and meant to be watched on your phones especially for short attention spanned viewers.

Its a shame really because this series was actually good and could have been great. Ther story was simple but ample enough plus eventhough a lot of the cast is unrecognizeable but they all did a really good job. The main leads are really good looking and are very likeable plus they really did a good job. The music could is good too.

The format just didnt give the show enough time to breathe. Sometimes there are scenes when i felt like i missed or skipped something, The pacing felt rushed. I also dont understand why it has to be vertical. Didnt the makers know we can flip the phone sideways to make a wider view?

Imagine if this was a proper series, at least an 8 episode with 20 to 30 minutes each. They could have developed everything properly and gave us viewers enough time to bask in all its glory. It could have been so much bigger than it is right now but instead of being a great one, it felt like an easy to watch series that is also easy to forget.

I dont blame the creators for wanting to capture the GenZ audience and realeasing it in this format. Maybe there really is a market for this because there is already a few of these type out there. What im sugesting is if they want to keep doing it like this then maybe just release a fuller version of the same series in a more traditional format.

well done coming of age/romance vertical series, needs an international release

Overall: I really enjoyed their different personalities and how they changed to be more compatible with each other. Official platform is the app Shortcha which is only available in South Korea. 50 episodes 1-2 minutes each. I saw it with parts unsubbed or rough translations so my rating might change in either direction with an official translation.

Content Warnings: punch, non con kiss, manipulation, non con picture taking/sharing, unwanted outing, slap, homophobia

What I Liked
- chemistry
- their dynamic
- how they had different personalities/goals but then they each changed because they wanted to and became more compatible with each other/their goals aligned
- caring moments
- the antagonists had their reasons, they weren't the typical cartoonish villains with nonsense reasons/actions
- it didn't seem as if everything was patched up with the mom which I liked and it felt realistic

Room For Improvement
- I was confused at the beginning with the punch, that was a flash forward that took place about halfway thru the story
- I wasn't sure about the sister/her reasoning and then change, perhaps better subtitles would help with that part
