A pleasant surprise from GMMTV's 2025 lineup that I didn't expect to touch my heart as much as it did. The premise is very simple and actually not that original compared to what you'll see in the entertainment industry, yet it's effective. The plot is solid and doesn't drag or stray from its original course. The few subplots that are introduced are not taking any unnecessary space or affect the narrative. The story remains loyal to its genre, with romance being the main focus from start to finish, and everything feels very natural and down to earth. The dialogues, the character growth, the reactions and interactions between characters are all organically developed.

As for the characters themselves, they are very lovable and multidimensional. They are not perfect or how a person is supposed to act or be. They are very human; they feel real. I also want to point out how important and refreshing it was to see a series embracing the actors' natural skin tones. It's a rarity seeing tanned actors without makeup on the screen, and I loved it.

In regards to the acting, it was good overall. Some actors admittedly have more experience than others within the cast, but there was no one that didn't do a good job portraying their characters. As for Mond and Ryu, being a new pairing, they were actually pretty cute and showed a lot of chemistry.

Overall, I do recommend this series to anyone looking for a heartwarming show. The beautiful cinematography and scenery really give you the vibes of that one summer you had in your life that felt special. It gives off a sweet and nostalgic feeling.
