stop giving 10/10 on every drama you personally liked...it's very misleading review...be more objective when…
Okay then tell me if I'm wrong with my points
1) There's a few wasted characters or who were used once of twice for the entire series..
Ae Ra's friend who married to the middle-age bald doctor at the beginning was never seen or used again...
The introduction of Nam Il (male) at the end of the series was useless, did nothing to improve or add anything to the story...if you remove him from the story, you wouldn't even see the difference...
2) the reveal of Ae Ra's long lost mother had little to no impact on Ae Ra who brushed her off like she doesn't exist after she found out the landlord was her mother...did she had a emotional breakdown, denial? relief? vengeance? or hate towards her mother? No...she literally said "Now I know you're alive, I hope I don't see you again"
3) The side couple Joo Man and Seul Hee: If they had declared their relationship at the beginning, every conflict could've been avoided...There was no reason for them to keep quiet about it and you can see that because once they declared it, they didn't face any further issue (aside from the issues that they already faced because they kept quiet about it)
CHARACTERS HAD NO COMMON SENSE: If Joo Man had had the balls to push away the intern flirtation, they wouldn't have broken up...If Joo Man liked the intern's flirtation, then I would've understand why he didn't resist, but he wasn't interested in her from the very beginning but did absolutely nothing about it...he just let the conflict manifest until to the point it was too late for him to fix...this showed how stupid the plotholes and the script or the characters' growth are
4) THE MAIN COUPLE: Ae Ra and Dong Man broke off because Ae Ra wants to dissuade Dong Man from doing MMA and getting himself hurt again...right? But when Dong Man asked her to marry him, does she suddenly forget about the break up? So she doesn't take the whole break up issue seriously? Is it a game to her? Does she not have any standing for herself?
One word of marriage, suddenly she forgot why she wanted to dissuade him from doing MMA in the first place
"I will break up with you if continue doing MMA" - Ae Ra
"I want to do MMA because it's my passion" - Dong Man
"OK then, we're no longer in relationship" - Ae Ra
"OK cool, let's get married..." - Dong Man
"LOL, JK...sure let's do it" - Ae Ra
It did not have nice writing because there's so many plotholes and no common sense, the comedy was sometimes forced (Dong Man doing stupid stuff just to make sure Ae Ra doesn't have a successful date with the young doctor which is a pathetic move), the pacing was good the first half of the series but the towards the end, they were trying to shove every plot twist or character growths as much as possible,
the editing was good most of the time (there was one time where it change to one scene for like 5 minute then change to another for like 5 second before changing back to the earlier scene for another 5minute)
so yeah, tell me if any of these isn't flawed? all of this issue and it's a 10/10 or 8.5/10 drama?
stop giving 10/10 on every drama you personally liked...it's very misleading review...be more objective when…
I didn't say it was bad but it definitely doesn't deserve a 10/10 by almost every reviewer here...Drama netizen will always rate either 10/10 or nothing at all and not being objective and being one sided... which is stupid...
stop giving 10/10 on every drama you personally liked...it's very misleading review...be more objective when you review the drama...don't judge it just from 3 or 4 cutes scenes and cute couples...this drama is a 6.5/10 at best and I'm being generous with this
I watched the whole series and I think you gave this drama way to much credit than it deserve
The drama should be AT MOST 7/10 if you're being objective just because how uneven the storyline is
The casts are good but the story plot, characters' growth and development is very average at best
Some of these characters are wasted with the way the plot works...The friend of Ae Ra who married to a middle-age bald doctor was never used again after the first or two episode...The sister of the MMA fighter guy wasn't used to to its full capacity as it didn't actually made me care enough for her involvement...
The landlord who secretly turned out to be Ae Ra long lost mother was one of the most useless plot twist I've seen in a drama..if you take that out and make the landlord someone who likes to help people, instead of being a long lost mother of Ae Ra, it won't even make any difference in terms of story progression-wise...
Her adopted son, Nam Il is also a waste of character...see where I'm going with this?
The main couple's scene (Ae Ra/Dong Man) when they finally got together was kinda disappointing...there was a number of times where they could ended up together that could've made sense (like when Ae Ra dumped the nerdy doctor who wants to make Ae Ra his mistress, the two main couple could've gotten together in that scene and made much more sense than how they ended up)
They then broke up for petty reasons and involuntarily got back together by deciding to marry...Didn't Ae Ra promised that she won't want to be with him if he continues to do MMA? She decided to forget her promise for no reason when he wants to marry her? Then why the heck do they break up in the first place? Is this a game to them?
Now for the side couple Joo Man and Seul Hee - Why didn't they declare their relationship in the first place rather than enduring a troublesome conflict that could easily be avoided if they come clean in the first place...if you think that the reason they did was so they won't get bothered by their colleague, then why when they decided to openly declare their relationship after that and nobody else gave them a hard time? There was absolutely no reason for them to keep quiet unless office relationship is banned in that company (which wasn't the case)
If Joo Man declared openly in the first place, he won't be harassed by the intern so much...instead he kinda let it slide until it became complicated and created an unnecessary conflict...He could've stop the Intern from making a move on him if he had been more firm and adamant but he just let she does as she wished...doesn't Joo Man thought how this would ended up? Where's the common sense in this action?
Speaking of action, the villain was so weak and bad that he shouldn't be a villain...he should just be considered a petty thug with no balls...Everytime the main hero is fighting him, I skipped because I already know how it would turned out and I don't want to waste time watching a match that is rigged or that is lose due to the incompetence of the villain himself

I understand you're entitled to an opinion but your review rating is very misleading...I watched it because you gave it 10 on almost everything and I have to say, it's not a 10..
If you could, next time, please be more objective as a reviewer because people like me want to watch a good drama with good storytelling and good character growth and conflict..
this drama isn't that great but not the worst..it's forgettable and only for fan servicing with it's relationship goals
I dont understand why this drama has high rating value...the story is so-so, the characters especially the villain (principal, soo ah) are very cliche' kind of evil character, comical...The based plot of this drama is cheerleading in order to get high chance of going into university...there are a lot of other curricular activity that are basically easier to enter and gain the curricular grade needed to get into university like theatrical acting which can easily be done solo and dont need to coerce or threaten another group of students who just wanted to be left alone (in other word, the villain took the harder route to solve their problem rather than finding easier way around)
The acting was ok, the fall onto the hero scene was used way too much just in the first two episode...The main actress is volatile (one time, she has her own standing and opinion then the next, she broke down and cry) It's either one or the other, dont create a character who is independent and not independent
They fast forward the romance between the two main actors way too fast...I mean, just in episode 3, I could already see that the main hero likes the heroine...I wish they make them hate each other and doesnt want to help each other at all but slowly unravel their relationship as the story progress
The school idea of 'good grade students will be treated well while bad grade students wont ' is cliche' and unrealistic...there is no school that has this much bias for rich good grade students over bad grade students...even if it exist in the real world, the students can easily go to ministry or education and report this misconduct of treatment and the whole sha-bang will be over within a week top
I'm being objective here and didnt watch this because i think the actor or actress are cute...so my review should be objective too
