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!

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!

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?
Fast paced and fun
This drama, like season 1 was, is fast paced and riveting. I'm not enjoying it as much as season 1, but it's still a fun watch nonetheless. I wouldn't go into it w high hopes for a deep and meaningful story though, it's fun and entertaining and dramatic, but it's not much more than that. The acting is great and so is the soundtrack, and I still think it can improve in the final episodes to end with a bang! I'm looking forward to it! The main actors are quite iconic and some of them you really love to hate in my opinion!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.

A sweet and heartwarming romance
This drama was so heartwarming and cute. Both leads did an incredible job and I was rooting for them from start to finish. This drama was such a lovely depiction of a healthy relationship and I loved that they weren't toxic at all. The two leads had such great chemistry and acted so well and the story kept me smiling the whole time. Watch this drama of you want to feel happy, trust me! It was so lovely and the music was a great addition and all the characters were so likeable. I loved her relationship with her brother as well and everyone was brilliant and I am so glad this drama exists! I could watch it over and over!Was this review helpful to you?
Has a very special place in my heart
I cannot adequately put into words how much I love this drama. It's everything and it means so much to me. I don't have a single complaint, I just love it so much: the characters, the setting, the story, the soundtrack, everything. It's so well written and well acted and filmed beautifully and waiting for the next episode was agonising. I'm devastated this drama has ended and I will be looking for another drama that captures what this one does for a very long time. This drama just makes you feel so much, I've cried so many tears, and I adore it. The characters are so real and vivid and my heart bleeds for all of them. Bravo!Was this review helpful to you?
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!

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

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!
