Simple, but cute!
I was in the mood for something sweet and easy to digest to just escape reality for a while and not think too hard - and in that regard, this show did not disappoint!One thing I really appreciate is that the characters actually communicate (yay!). Conflicts get resolved pretty quickly, which can be a hit or miss depending on what you're looking for. For me, it gave the series this kind of episodic vibe, light and easy to follow, which was exactly what I wanted to watch at the time.
I am impressed by Joong's acting in particular! The character he plays, Joke, is also one of my favourites in this, mostly because he's so relatable to me. Joke is a musician at uni and as a musician at uni myself, I do enjoy the music aspect of this show a lot and find it genuinely enjoyable and cute!
I do have some gripes though. Sometimes the story feels a bit wonky and there aren't exactly many overarching plotlines that go beyond one or two episodes. Besides the central romance of course, and maybe one or two additional threads. Nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary, but to be fair, I didn't expect this to be a story-heavy show in the first place, so I'm not disappointed. Just keep that in mind if you're deciding whether it's for you.
Watch this if:
- you want something light and easy to watch
- are in the mood for a cute, relatable romance
- enjoy university settings
Skip this if:
- you prefer a complex, intricate storyline
- are not into character-driven slice of life shows dealing with self-worth, identity and family related issues
- are just generally tired of the romance genre
In summary:
A cozy, low stakes series that's simple but charming.
7.5/10, made me want to join a debate club lol
