Disappointing
I think the show had a wonderful start. I wil rewatch first two episodes from time to time. (3 starts for those)And I really liked the cast.
The problem was the story itself. I love every classic trope about a kdrama, but not all at once. It was like watching Boys over flowers in 2025.
Personally, I didn't like main lead characters after first few episodes. Especially, FL drove me crazy. I guess they tried to make her like this innocent, struggling type. Instead, we get this person who is very dense about her surroundings and in need of constant saving. She lies about a husband and a child, but she doesn't even prepare herself for what is to come. Like about answering questions on giving birth or needing to change a diaper. And she doesn't understand why ML is very angry... and why she shouldn't keep going on with the lie.
And the male lead is... well. Not in love but a little bit obsessed. I personally think if we didn't know she wasn't in fact married, then the actions of male lead toward a married woman would be... questionable. She is married... with a kid.? How can you continue yearning? Let's say you can't stop yourself, then how can you say things like ' your body is mine'. Romance is very problematic in this scenario.
I could've look past the all cliches and unnecessary plot points they threw at me, if I liked the main leads. But that wasn't the case, so the rest of it... the kidnapping, the memory loss, the lies, the forced proximity (the job), the friend who has a secret crush. All at once. How could I get pass these when I am not exactly cheering for the main couple?
It starts of great. And it could've go well if executed better. But no. Not for me at all. I am a rom com enjoyer, but this is not it.

A classic Kdrama
I have mixed feelings about this drama. I think leads did a fantastic job in acting. I think plot was more or less okay. And even though it did not bring anything new on the table, I liked it.The problem for me is the usage of the same kind of plot development over and over again. This was a very short series with 15 min long episodes and still writers manage to include a very unnecessary break-up and very expected making up scene just as the leads got together. I do not understand the logic behind this.
I was hard to watch the struggles of a very talented young dancer to begin with. He was really alone. His relationship with his mother was heartbreaking. What was the point of that last part? I kinda thought, If he left like that I would not want him back to be honest.
And although I am a sucker for happy endings, this time it was just an okay ending for me.

Cute and Fluffy BL without any drama
Okay so... It is not a 10/10 show but since the score is much lower than my expectation I gave this a 10. This is a short, cute and romantic bl without any drama and conflict.If you are in the mood for watching a show without any depth, and just to enjoy it, go ahead. There aren't any sad moments and tiring subplots to kill your joy.
I didn't instantly fell in love with the drama at the episode 1. But after episode 2 , I watched the entire show in one sitting. I think characters are not instantly likable. You get used to them and after a while you cheer for the couple and for their happiness.
I did not love the acting of Amagi but he is very young and he has the time for development. I liked Takara, I also liked him on the Silent too.
Plot was refreshing for me. After watching so many characters get bullied, or get socially isolated, it was refreshing to watch that both leads have their own circle of friends and have a nice high school experience :)
Overall, this is a cute, light, romantic high school drama. I will rewatch it from time to time, I know. If you are in a bad mood, there is a very good chance this will cheer you up :)
