What I Liked
- the intense kissing towards the beginning
- an established couple
- visuals
Room For Improvement
- one guy wasn't a damsel in distress
- that they made a heavier guy the stalker
- noble idiot trope (thankfully short lived)
- evil mom cliche

On the Rewards (popcorn bag icon page)
- check in = 5 (increases over 7 days up to 25)
- create a login = 20? (I did create a login because otherwise you only get 1 Always Win box instead of 3 per day, I think this was 20 popcorn)
- do the 3 random popcorn from the daily Always Win box = 30 (I'd normally get 5-15, around 30 in total)
- Watch Ads, watch all 10 ads each day, have to wait 30 seconds in between ads = 110
When you run out of popcorn while watching, you can watch 5 episodes each day with ads

Cute and different
Cute and different. Vibes a bit like Coffee Prince but with a smaller cast and no secret identity. I'm not a huge fan of love triangles, but the ending was good. I liked the slow, casual pace. I wish it was a bit longer so we'd have more character development, but there was quite a bit for how short it was.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet
Even though i am not a fan of verticals, because i find it extremely anoying those episodes of only a few minutes, this was quite nice. The story was not complicated but still good.It were very beautiful visuals, the acting was good and so was the music.
I recommend watching it somewhere as a whole like i did, most of the time there are people who provide a vertical as a whole movie, then it is a lot better to watch.
