That Yapping Puppy Gonna Steal Your ♥️ °good° °minor spoilers°
Indefatigable. That isn't a word one gets to use much. Soli is indefatigable.
The completely adorable So Ju Yeon (Festival, Seasons of Blossom) plays Sin Soli. She isn't stuffy or fussy. She is 🌞 itself. She is exuberance, and all of her solar energy is focused on Heon. Kim Yo Han (The Winning Try) is our ML, Cha Heon. He's the one who's stuffy and fussy. This is a HS fabled about the Pixie & McGruff.
ALSB is a 2020 release that is rated 89 on AWiki. It is 1 season consisting of 24 20-minute episodes. The source material is the Chinese novel, To Our Pure Little Beauty, by Zhao Qianqian. China did their version of the story in 2017. I've started that one and it appears to be almost exactly the same plot. So far, the Cdrama is also very cute. This is a story of five high school friends and their journey through HS and on to adulthood.
Seventeen-year-old Shin Sol-i (So Joo-yeon) repeatedly confesses her love to Heon, who appears distant, but is, in fact, awkward when it comes to expressing his feelings. Woo Dae-seong, a nationally ranked swimmer, transfers to Chun Ji High School and falls in love with Shin Sol-i. This drama takes place mostly in HS. In the late teen episodes it starts time-jumping. When they're adults we'll meet Dr. Seo Ji-Su, played by Yang Yu-Jin. She's fabulous - just oozing with beauty and personality - and this is her only credited work! I hope she does more.
Soli and Heon live next to eachother, but the similarities stop there. He's serious, a top student, and generally good at everything. Soli is none of that. She's delightful, all the same. In the beginning of the show Soli is always chasing, Heon is always running. Ever so slowly, Heon starts warming up to this embodiment of warmth. Heon's little brother is one of those precocious-I'm-cooler-than-you-older-brother types. It never gets old. He's really cute. HE'S in LOVE with Sol-i!
Soli follows Heon around like a yapping pupoy, and Kang Ha Yeong is always around her friend, Soli. Played by Jo Hye Joo (Just One Bite, Reborn Rich), she has a crush on her teacher. Jung Jae Oh (Govengers, Ga Doo Ri’s Sushi Restaurant) is the bespectacled Jung Jin Hwan. He has a crush on the beautiful Ha Yeong. The 4 of them hang around eachother more and more and become tight friends as the show progresses. They also pick up a new student, “Woo”. He meets Soli almost the moment he steps onto the school grounds. He's so impressed with her moxie that he takes to calling her “brother.” It's too cute! He is smitten with her immediately: Yep, it's a l♥ve tri⛰ngle. The whole 'brother' bit is adorable, and it's one reason that Woo won ME over. I love this kid, so my vote is that Soli chose wrongly. Be that as it may, Soli made her choice years ago, long before Woo swam on the scene. There's no turning back. Screenwriter Jang Yoo Yeon also brought us Drunk in Good Taste & Ga Doo Ri’s Sushi Restaurant.
I guess this is no longer a review, but the start of a Yeo Hoe Hyun fan page. So, I'll continue. Appearing in hits like Leverage & Short, Mr. Yeo is unforgettably charming as “Woo” Dae Seong. In ep9 his acting is breathtaking. Soli received a love confession letter from him that clearly won't bring him the result he was hoping for. He tells Soli the note from the "secret" game was "just a joke," to So-li's relief. The scene is stunning. The reversal of expressions adds up: Soli shows unrepressed concern + he's carefree at first until he sees he's to be rejected ÷ he quickly adjusts - represses his feelings + he blows it all off as nothing + Soli is happily relieved - Soli doesn't notice the despondency and pain on his face = dazzler. Cut to swim practice, next. He dives into an infinite pool of tears. Woo outshines Heon in every single category. So-li just might be an idiot. Everybody is at one time or another, and love can make idiots of us all. In ep9 my heart started to hurt. I found this show by googing cheesy Kdrama rom-coms. This is not what I signed up for! This isn't cheesy at all.
The dynamic is that Heon is put off by Soli's unrepressed attentions. He avoids her but he's watching from a distance. He ends up helping her quietly here and there, though she doesn't know that. Over the years he acclimates to her and it does turn to love. Soli never wavers, but when they are grown Heon will have to show how much she means to him if he wants to seal the deal.

Good gravy Marie.
I put my pain before yours.
I will cut out the middle of this long winter night ~
Coil it up in a blanket warm as a spring breeze ~
The night my beloved comes ~
I will slowly unwind it.
