Somehow even though this show was great, why does it feel a little unsatisfying for me? Like I get that it's an adaptation but I feel like they could've done more. I know the pacing is weird on purpose (like sometimes it's light and sometimes its serious) but personally I tend to avoid shows with weird pacing. The story was great and but somehow l was craving for more clarity. So yeah, I don't know how to feel about this one. But I could see why people would love this.

Thank you for the kind recommendations 😊

Oh I've already seen it ! That was like diabetes on a screen. It did get boring in the last 10 episodes tho. But was so sweet to watch.

Same ! I used to avoid shows with heavy drama. But now I'm confused. I'm bored by too fluffy sweet shows and mentally tired by overly dramatic shows. So it's difficult for me to fully enjoy shows nowadays since I need a perfect balance between sweet and heavy stories.

I get you ! I also couldn't get into Wuxia because it felt too flashy for me. But I want to try it because people rave about it and a lot of Wuxia dramas have high ratings.

Don't kill me but this drama wasn't for me. I understand why people like this, it has that nostalgic cheesy rom com vibe that feels like a warm hug. I tend to avoid youth dramas but wanted to try this out as a challenge since it had a high rating. But I guess sweet youth dramas aren't suited for my corrupted personality 😅. It had the tropes that I avoid: Very cutesy female lead, cold male lead and puppy love. I'm not bashing anyone for liking this, but it just didn't work for me. But kudos to anyone who likes this, I guess you guys are still blessed to enjoy pure sweet dramas. 😚

I don't think I vibe with younger guy older woman romance. Plus the male character felt immature which I know is normal but I couldn't keep watching. I guess I'm not the right audience for this 🥲

I surprisingly liked this. Was it great ? No. But it was a good time and the sport scenes were good in this. Just a fluffy sweet sports romance. A little angst is there but it's not too heavy.

I really liked that the show portrayed a heroine who's having a mental breakdown and taking a break to recover since its exactly like my situation right now. So I could empathize with the character more. Tbh, I liked the second couple more than the main couple. Their dynamic seemed more healthy and realistic. Somehow I couldn't relate to how the main couple got together. I don't know how to explain but something felt missing in how they started their relationship.
It might be my personal taste but I couldn't feel the romantic tension with the main couple like I felt with the second couple.

Also the pacing felt weird, like some events were too coincidental and unrealistic. Even with darker themes, they were resolved but it just felt unsatisfying. The PPLs were also too obvious that it took me out of the story. Even if it was slow burn, I just wanted really great romantic chemistry but I only got that with the second couple.

Overall, a good refresher but maybe I set too high expectations or the genre isn't for me.
