Great acting + terrible writing
The acting really carried this show. The writing started out good, they led up to the FL being a little off but they never dive into it. The absence of her story left little to doubt. Everyone says how weird she is but they never show any instance outside of her as a child.This could've been a movie or a 6 episode show, too many fillers. They hired great actors and got half of the story written decently.
Maybe my expectations were high because I'm biased (Chae Won Bin). I'd recommend this show if you have time to kill but wouldn't bump it up on your watchlist.

Could've been 6 episodes....
Idk if this is based off of a webtoon or manga, so maybe they were trying to stick to a certain story?Season 1 was great. Great casting, acting and story. Little to no skips. Season 2 they gut the acting and replace some characters. Story was mid. Acting was average to above average. A lot of skips or watching with the speed at 2x.
Season 3. The 2 kids were the most entertaining and well written, probably by accident. Go Min Si and Lee Do Hyun were amazing. Song Kang with another robot performance. Every scene he was in whether he was angry, happy, sad or trying to be funny.....just a straight face almost like he was confused.
If you were expecting redemption from how bad season 2 was, you'll be disappointed. Only giving it a 7 because Go Min Si and Lee Do Hyun were that good.

Revenge but she kept her hands clean
I really enjoyed the entire show. The writing definitely could've been better. They explain somethings through flashbacks but context is lacking.Luckily whoever was in casting hit a home run. The acting was a 10. The first half was a slow burn and the second half wasn't much faster. But every single episode the acting was amazing.
I kept thinking to myself where are the police? Why are they only questioning the FL??? Another writing hole.
With how amazing the casting was it could've made the writing look less than. Maybe I'm nitpicking. I still highly recommend if you enjoy a good revenge plot.

FL/ML chemistry is low
This is a common problem with kdramas, they get one Lead right and the other Lead WRONG. They have little chemistry. It's like they're siblings. I tried watching a couple times because the actors are great. The writing is predictable. This could've been a movie not a 16 episode series.I've seen a few good reviews but it's just not for me. In the 3 episodes I've watched it's CLEAR the second male lead would be better suited to be with the FL. But the writers are forcing them to be with someone "closer to their level".
There are so many talented actors/actresses in this show. It's a shame the writers were so bad.

The acting was amazing
I went in with high expectations and enjoyed every episode. The writing was good but not great. The acting from the MAIN characters carried this show and that's ok.It was really great to see the characters develop and grow from start to finish. People have to remember this is a highschool setting. They're going to have flaws, make mistakes and possibly forgive.
The story started out about revenge but if you kept an open mind and paid attention it was a story about love and growth. There are so many types of love and it's displayed beautifully throughout the show.
Only thing I would've changed was the ending but I understand why it ended that way.
