Exciting, Humorous, Action Packed
What a thrilling start to a drama! It's fun, quirky and hilarious, but also balanced with moments of tension!It's had a strong start with silly moments (sometimes a bit too silly for my taste, but that's just my opinion!) and I'm excited to see what's going to happen next!
The male lead is very entertaining to watch and the female lead is quirky and silly too! I've really enjoyed the fight scenes so far as well! The prestigious school setting is brilliant and one of my favourite settings to be honest, so I'm really excited to see more!

I LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCH
Edit after watching ep 5: THIS DRAMA IS INCREDIBLE, I AM OBSESSED!!! This has the potential to be one of my fav dramas of all time, do not miss out on watching this! The banter, the chaos, the tension: this drama has it all!I am absolutely loving this so far! The actors are incredible, their chemistry is undeniable. I love rivalry and banter and fierce leads and this drama is delivering! The characters are quirky and complex, and I cannot wait to see them develop further!
This drama is one I've been anticipating for a while, and it has yet to disdapoint me so far--here's to hoping it won't disappoint at all. I'll eagerly be awaiting the next episodes for more hilarious moments! I'm sure this drama will be brilliant <3

Strong start but I fear it's losing steam!
I was absolutely hooked on the first six episodes of this drama, and I really loved it despite its cringe Wattpad moments, but the last two episodes have become a bit too much for me. I expected a bit of a lack of realism, but certain actions taken by characters are completely illogical and unrealistic (like against the laws of physics unrealistic) and some of the characters who are supposed to be likable have begun to irritate me with their demanding things from the FMC. The MMC is unlikeable and cruel at times, and really the second lead is why I still stick around because he is amazing. It's going to break my heart when she doesn't pick him though :(Overall, it's chaotic and fun, but also unrealistic and cringe at times and you have to turn your brain off a bit to enjoy it. I hope to raise my rating in future episodes as I'd originally rated this 8, but we shall see!

Brilliant and unique
This drama was very interesting and kept me invested! It was a unique storyline in my opinion, with interesting and complicated characters! I loved seeing them interact and change and the relationships they had with each other were fascinating! This drama was very interesting and perfectly showcased that there is good in bad people and vice versa. I really enjoyed it, and highly recommend! The characters were very likable and the soundtrack was good too and I will definitely be rewatching this at some point in the future!Was this review helpful to you?
Overhyped
This review is purely my opinion and I'm not setting out to offend anyone–it's mainly to deter myself from ever trying to rewatch this bc I reread my own reviews before I rewatch/try to complete things.I went into this expecting it to be incredible, and was thoroughly disappointed.
It started out okay, but didn't really grip me and I considered dropping it. Based on good reviews, I kept going and it got slightly better by around ep 3-5, then it just got worse and worse to the point I skimmed the last 2 and a half episodes because it was so boring and I wanted it to be over.
The ML was annoying and toxic, the plot was questionable at times and humour was just making me cringe. The second ML was annoying and the fact that he kept stripping was so, so awful and unfunny. Overall, this drama was a waste of time and I really, really wish I could have loved it, but I hated it. The only redeeming qualities were some of the soundtrack was amazing, and **MILD SPOILER BELOW**
the interaction with the second potential dad was lovely and well written imo, it messed with my emotions and was a great addition to the story.
Overall, I would not rewatch, and wish I never watched.

Exciting, Action Packed, Thrilling and Fun
This film was wonderful and I loved it. The soundtrack was brilliant, the MC was likable and I loved the fight scenes. The climax was a work of art in my opinion, and I'm so impressed by it, I was literally on the edge of my seat while watching it. I felt that the ending fell flat and was a bit anticlimactic, comparatively, so really I shouldn't be Rating this 9.5 stars, but I really loved the entire rest of the film, so screw it.I highly recommend watching this, especially if you're a fan of the genre, but be warned about some dark themes!

Amazing - I can't get enough
Final Review after 12 eps:The last 3-4 eps have completely ruined this drama for me. It was easily 10 stars until that point but the story became very confusing and unnecessarily complicated towards the end as well as rather boring compared to the first few episodes which were all masterpieces, in my opinion. Overall, giving it 8 stars to account for how good it was at the beginning, but the ending really really sucked and let down the entire story.
Original Review after 4 eps: We're only 4 eps in, but this drama has been so incredible so far. Superb acting, a great storyline and a lot of tension. I'm very excited to see what happens next! I have high hopes for this drama!
The FL is absolutely incredible and I love her expressions, the ML is great too, very intense. The story is complicated and greatly complimented by the romance.
I hope to raise my rating even higher as the story expands in the episodes to come! If you like thriller/romance dramas then be sure to give this one a try!

Heartwarming
A lovely story of two sweet and lovable characters finding each other and overcoming obstacles to be together. I was rooting for them every step of the way, and found them so cute together. He was so sweet and a lovely love interest. She was so cute and I really like her as an actress, she might be my favourite. I really loved them together and this drama was a highlight of my week every time more episodes were released. I envy everyone who hasn't watched it yet, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!Was this review helpful to you?
So good I rewatched it immediately
I had high expectations going into this and somehow this movie exceeded them anyway. I smiled, I sobbed, I felt so many emotions. The actors did a phenomenal job, I cannot sing their praises enough. The story itself was a masterpiece and everyone involved in its creation is a genius in my eyes. I'm so grateful this film exists, and that I got to watch it and then watch it again the next day because I couldn't stop thinking about it.There was a version of myself before watching this film, and now there is a version after. I will cherish these characters close to my heart forevermore and rewatch their story over and over again to comfort myself with their existence.

Powerful, gripping, entertaining
This drama was so easy to binge watch, I finished it in two days! It was full of twists and turns and a powerful metaphor throughout. It was well written, beautifully executed and overall a masterpiece of a drama. The soundtrack was also so incredible, the acting was superb and every character was fleshed out well! I just finished a rewatch of Weak Hero Class 1 before watching this and this was exactly what I needed! If you're a fan of WHC1 I highly recommend you give this drama a try! It has spectacle, intelligent characters fighting to outsmart each other, revenge, loyalty--what an exciting watch!Was this review helpful to you?
Do not miss out on this drama!
This drama made me smile so much. It's a story of healing and love and heartache. It's hilarious and sad and beautiful. I loved it very much. This is one of those dramas I know I will rewatch again, chasing that feeling of watching it for the first time that I will sadly not feel again in quite the same way. But in the words of Winnie the Pooh: "How lucky am I to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard."Run, don't walk to watch this drama. I don't think it's for everyone, but if this drama is for you then I know you will love it as much as I did.

It had its moments
I started this drama in December 2023 and have only just finished it in November 2024. The reason it took me almost a year to finish this, is because despite its strong start, it was painfully boring in the middle and dragged on too much. I'd actually decided to drop it on ep 12 after suffering through 3-4 eps and finally giving up, but yesterday I suddenly felt like finishing it, and although the last 4 eps were nothing special, they were decent enough and I got through them.Now as much as the story was a let down after ep 8 imo, the two leads are so, so well casted and adorable and I love them together. She is so sweet and admirable and he is brilliant and had good character development. It's a lovely story, albeit one that drags on a bit but with two leads who I was rooting for the whole time and who I loved to see interact with each other. Although I initially dropped this, I'm actually quite glad I finished it! The soundtrack was really lovely too!

A masterpiece
I have no words to explain how much I loved this drama. It is my all time favourite and an absolute work of art. The soundtrack was perfect and I still listen to some songs sometimes. I cared so much for the characters and I love how complicated and morally grey they could be and I would still love them. This drama made my heart feel full, it made me sob, it made me smile and laugh and everything in between and I so wish it was possible to forget it all and watch it again because it was an absolutely brilliant masterpiece and I cannot recommend it enough!Was this review helpful to you?
Chaos - banter and rivalry, although lacking chemistry
This drama, so far, has been chaotic and funny (albeit a bit too childish at times) and has set the stage for an enemies/rivals to lovers story. It has been decently enjoyable, if a bit slow at times, but overall I am interested in seeing what happens next. She seems quite quirky which I like and I look forward to seeing their relationship develop further, although I hope to see more chemistry between the two leads as I feel there's a bit of a lack of it right now. I loved the younger actors who played them in school, but the present day leads aren't as captivating, in my opinion.This drama may not be everyone's cup of tea, but possibly worth a chance if you like chaotic love stories, banter, school/work rivals and reunions. The worst that can happen is you wasted a bit time on a story that isn't for you, at the end of the day. But in my opinion, you still learn something from the stories you don't like, even if it just helps you narrow down what you like about a story. That said, I do hope to raise my rating as more episodes come out, I've just found it a bit lacking so far.

A work of art with a brilliant cast
This show was devastating both times I watched it and after rating it 9 for my first watch, I have to raise it to 10 after a rewatch. This story is so well written and clever and casted absolutely perfectly. Park Ji Hoon did such an incredible, incredible job and his performance haunts me. I cannot wait for season 2 and I implore everyone to give this drama a chance! It's short, concise and excellent! Wht a brilliant work of art this story was, with fascinating and complicated characters who all played their roles perfectly!Was this review helpful to you?
